You're pretty sure that your candidate for class president has about 6565% of the votes in the entire school. But you're worried that only 100100 students will show up to vote. How often will the underdog (the one with 3535% support) win? To find out, you
Answer:
You're pretty sure that your candidate for class president has about 55% of the votes in the entire school. but you're worried that only 100 students will show up to vote. how often will the underdog (the one with 45% support) win? to find out, you set up a simulation.
a. describe-how-you-will-simulate a component.
b. describe-how-you-will-simulate a trial.
c. describe-the-response-variable
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
A component is one voter's voting. An outcome is a vote in favor of our candidate.
Since there are 100 voters, we can stimulate the component by using two random digits from 00 - 99, where the digits 00 - 64 represents a vote for our candidate and the digits 65 - 99 represents a vote for the under dog.
Part B:
A trial is 100 votes. We can stimulate the trial by randomly picking 100 two-digits numbers from 00 - 99.
And counted how many people voted for each candidate. Whoever gets the majority of the votes wins the trial.
Part C:
The response variable is whether the underdog wins or not.
To calculate the experimental probability, divide the number of trials in which the simulated underdog wins by the total number of trials.
The FDA regulates that fresh Albacore tuna fish that is consumed is allowed to contain 0.82 ppm of mercury or less. A laboratory is estimating the amount of mercury in tuna fish for a new company and needs to have a margin of error within 0.023 ppm of mercury with 97% confidence. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.143 ppm of mercury. What sample size is needed? Round up to the nearest integer, do not include any decimals. Answer:
Answer:
[tex]n=(\frac{2.17(0.143)}{0.023})^2 =182.03 \approx 183[/tex]
So the answer for this case would be n=183 rounded up to the nearest integer
Step-by-step explanation:
Information provided
[tex]\bar X[/tex] represent the sample mean
[tex]\mu[/tex] population mean (variable of interest)
[tex]\sigma = 0.143[/tex] represent the population standard deviation
n represent the sample size
[tex] ME = 0.023[/tex] the margin of error desired
Solution to the problem
The margin of error is given by this formula:
[tex] ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex] (a)
And on this case we have that ME =0.023 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
[tex]n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2[/tex] (b)
The confidence level is 97% or 0.97 and the significance would be [tex]\alpha=1-0.97=0.03[/tex] and [tex]\alpha/2 = 0.015[/tex] then the critical value would be: [tex]z_{\alpha/2}=2.17[/tex], replacing into formula (5) we got:
[tex]n=(\frac{2.17(0.143)}{0.023})^2 =182.03 \approx 183[/tex]
So the answer for this case would be n=183 rounded up to the nearest integer
there are only red counters and blue counters in a bag. Jim takes at random a counter from a bag. the probability that the counter is red is 0.45 Jim puts the counter back into the bag. Molly takes at random a counter from the bag. She puts the counter back in the bag. What is the probability that Jim and Molly take counters of different colours? Give your answer as a decimal
Answer:
0.495 probability that Jim and Molly take counters of different colours
Step-by-step explanation:
For each trial, there are only two possible outcomes. Either a blue counter is picked, or a red counter is picked. The counter is put back in the bag after it is taken, which means that we can use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
The probability that the counter is red is 0.45
This means that [tex]p = 0.45[/tex]
Jim taken a counter, then Molly:
Two trials, so [tex]n = 2[/tex]
What is the probability that Jim and Molly take counters of different colours?
One red and one blue. So this is P(X = 1).
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{2,1}.(0.45)^{1}.(0.55)^{1} = 0.495[/tex]
0.495 probability that Jim and Molly take counters of different colours
Please answer this correctly
Answer:
5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 7 cards, all of which have an equal chance of being chosen.
And in this case, because there are 7 cards in total, they each have a 1/7 chance of being chosen. Because there are 5 cards greater than 4, you have a 5x1/7 chance =5/7 chance of choosing a number greater than 4.

2.
√3x + 7 + √x + 1 =2
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The usual approach to these is to square the radicals until they are gone.
[tex]\displaystyle\sqrt{3x+7}+\sqrt{x+1}=2\\\\(3x+7) +2\sqrt{(3x+7)(x+1)}+(x+1) = 4\qquad\text{square both sides}\\\\2\sqrt{(3x+7)(x+1)}=-4x-4\qquad\text{subtract $4x+8$}\\\\(3x+7)(x+1)=(-2x-2)^2\qquad\text{divide by 2, square again}\\\\3x^2+10x +7=4x^2+8x+4\qquad\text{simplify}\\\\x^2-2x-3=0\qquad\text{subtract the left expression}\\\\(x-3)(x+1)=0\qquad\text{factor}\\\\x=3,\ x=-1\qquad\text{solutions to the quadratic}[/tex]
Each time the equation is squared, the possibility of an extraneous root is introduced. Here, x=3 is extraneous: it does not satisfy the original equation.
The solution is x = -1.
_____
Using a graphing calculator to solve the original equation can avoid extraneous solutions. The attachment shows only the solution x = -1. Rather than use f(x) = 2, we have rewritten the equation to f(x)-2 = 0. The graphing calculator is really good at showing the function values at the x-intercepts.
Which is the better buy?. Store A $180 at 1/3 off Or Store B $110 at 10% off
Answer: Store B
Step-by-step explanation:
180 / 3 = 60. 180 - 60= $120. Store A cost is $120.
110 * 0.9 = $99. Store B's cost is $99.
Answer:
Store B
Step-by-step explanation:
Store A the price would be about $120.60
Store B price would be about $99
To find store a price, you first find the discount, so
0.33 x 180 = 59.40
Then subtract this from the original price to know the total after the discount
180-59.40=120.60
Do the same thing with the other Store
110 x 0.10 = 11
110-11=99
Factor completely 6x to the second power - 36xy + 12x
Answer:
6x(x - 6y +2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out expression
6x² - 36xy + 12x
Step 2: Factor out x
x(6x - 36y + 12)
Step 3: Factor out 6
6x(x - 6y + 2)
That is the most we can do. We can only take GCF to factor. Since we don't have an y² term we do not have binomial factors.

17. Find the measure of DE
A) 14.5
B) 13.4
C) 12.3
D) 15.9
Answer:
C. 12.3
Step-by-step explanation:
We should use Law of Cosines: c² = a² + b² -2abcosC
If that is the case, then EF is a, DF is b, and ∠F is c. We then plug the known variables in:
c² = 12² + 13² - 2(12)(13)cos59°
Plug that into the calc and you should get 12.2313, rounded to 12.3 as your final answer!

PLEASEEEE HELLLPPPP COMPARING EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS ...an online retailer developed two exponential functions to model the weekly usage of two coupon codes where x os the number of weeks since the start of the year.
Answer:
A. The weekly usage of both coupons is decreasing and approaching a horizontal asymptote as x gets larger.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can see that f(x) is a decreasing exponential function because the base is 0.75, a value less than 1. The horizontal asymptote is 10, the constant added to the exponential term.
Obviously, g(x) is decreasing. If we assume it is an exponential function, we know there is a horizontal asymptote. (Every exponential function has a horizontal asymptote.)
__
If you use your graphing calculator's exponential regression function, you can find a good model for g(x) is ...
g(x) = 950·0.7^x +12
That is, it is an exponential function that decays faster than f(x), but has a higher horizontal asymptote.
_____
Both functions are decreasing and approaching horizontal asymptotes.

An animal shelter has 5 times as many cats as it has dogs. There are 75cats at the shelter
Answer: 15 dogs
Step-by-step explanation:
75 / 5 = 15
Answer:
15 dogs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of dogs be x
number of cats be y
5 times the number of cats = number of dogs
y = x*5
Since y = 75
75 = 5x
Bring 5 to the other side n divide
x= 75/5
= 15
Where is my phone? I seem to have lost my phone. I know where I last saw it but it has been moved since then and I need help to locate it. It started at the following coordinates A (14, -12); B (14, -19); C (10, -19); D (10, -14); E (13, -14); F (13, -12). My Mom told me she translated it 6 units to the left Then my little brother said he had reflected it over the Y-axis My friend many found it and translated it 9 units up Dad said he tripped over it and reflected it over the X-axis My sister then rotated it 900 clockwise Uncle Jose translated it 5 units left and 4 units down Cousin Michelle then said she rotated it 900 clockwise Finally my dog picked it up and translated it 5 units down and 10 units to the right Where is my phone? Using the scenario on this page do the following. Graph the preimage using the given points. Label points (A, B, C, ...) Transform the objects using the information provided. Show each transformation and label. (A', B', C', ...) Determine the final location. Write a 2 to 3 sentence explain on how you found the phone location.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The attachments show the initial (brown) and final (blue) positions of the phone. The spreadsheet shows all the intermediate locations and the formulas used to determine them.
The two reflections cancel the total of 180° of CW rotation, so the net result is simply a translation. That translation is up by 9 units.
__
Translation up adds to the y-coefficient; translation right adds to the x-coefficient. Down or left use negative values.
90° CW does this: (x, y) ⇒ (y, -x)
Reflection across y does this: (x, y) ⇒ (-x, y)
Reflection across x does this: (x, y) ⇒ (x, -y)

B. The graph of g is the graph of f shifted 2 units to the right. C. The graph of g is the graph of f shifted 2 units down. D. The graph of g is the graph of f shifted 2 units to the left. Reset Next
H E L P
Answer:
C. The graph of g is the graph of f shifted 2 units down
Step-by-step explanation:
The transformation ...
g(x) = f(x -h) +k
represents a translation h units right and k units up.
You have h=0 and k=-2, so the graph is shifted 0 units right and 2 units the opposite of up.
The graph of g is the graph of f shifted 2 units down.

The number of bacteria in a refrigerated food product is given by N ( T ) = 22 T 2 − 123 T + 40 , 6 < T < 36 , where T is the temperature of the food. When the food is removed from the refrigerator, the temperature is given by T ( t ) = 8 t + 1.7 , where t is the time in hours. Find the composite function N ( T ( t ) ) : N ( T ( t ) ) = Find the time when the bacteria count reaches 8019. Time Needed = hours
Answer:
[tex]N(T(t)) = 1408t^2 - 385.6t - 105.52[/tex]
Time for bacteria count reaching 8019: t = 2.543 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the composite function N(T(t)), we just need to use the value of T(t) for each T in the function N(T). So we have that:
[tex]N(T(t)) = 22 * (8t + 1.7)^2 - 123 * (8t + 1.7) + 40[/tex]
[tex]N(T(t)) = 22 * (64t^2 + 27.2t + 2.89) - 984t - 209.1 + 40[/tex]
[tex]N(T(t)) = 1408t^2 + 598.4t + 63.58 - 984t - 169.1[/tex]
[tex]N(T(t)) = 1408t^2 - 385.6t - 105.52[/tex]
Now, to find the time when the bacteria count reaches 8019, we just need to use N(T(t)) = 8019 and then find the value of t:
[tex]8019 = 1408t^2 - 385.6t - 105.52[/tex]
[tex]1408t^2 - 385.6t - 8124.52 = 0[/tex]
Solving this quadratic equation, we have that t = 2.543 hours, so that is the time needed to the bacteria count reaching 8019.

Answer:
[tex](a)-\dfrac{11\sqrt{5}}{25} \\(b) -\dfrac{2\sqrt{5}}{25} \\(c)\dfrac{11}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\tan \alpha =\dfrac12, \pi < \alpha< \dfrac{3 \pi}{2}[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]\alpha$ is in Quadrant III[/tex]
Opposite = -1
Adjacent =-2
Using Pythagoras Theorem
[tex]Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\=(-1)^2+(-2)^2=5\\Hypotenuse=\sqrt{5}[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]\sin \alpha =-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\\\cos \alpha =-\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{5}}[/tex]
Similarly
[tex]\cos \beta =\dfrac35, \dfrac{3 \pi}{2}<\beta<2\pi\\\beta $ is in Quadrant IV (x is negative, y is positive), therefore:\\Adjacent=$-3\\$Hypotenuse=5\\Opposite=4 (Using Pythagoras Theorem)[/tex]
[tex]\sin \beta =\dfrac{4}{5}\\\tan \beta =-\dfrac{4}{3}[/tex]
(a)
[tex]\cos(\alpha + \beta)=\cos\alpha\cos\beta-\sin \alpha\sin \beta\\[/tex]
[tex]=-\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\cdot \dfrac{3}{5}-(-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}})(\dfrac{4}{5})\\=-\dfrac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}\cdot \dfrac{3}{5}+\dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{5}\cdot\dfrac{4}{5}\\=-\dfrac{2\sqrt{5}}{25}[/tex]
(b)
[tex]\sin(\alpha + \beta)=\sin\alpha\cos\beta+\cos \alpha\sin \beta[/tex]
[tex]\sin(\alpha + \beta)=\sin\alpha\cos\beta+\cos \alpha\sin \beta\\=-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\cdot\dfrac35+(-\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{5}})(\dfrac{4}{5})\\=-\dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{5}\cdot\dfrac35-\dfrac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}\cdot\dfrac{4}{5}\\=-\dfrac{11\sqrt{5}}{25}[/tex]
(c)
[tex]\tan(\alpha + \beta)=\dfrac{\sin(\alpha + \beta)}{\sin(\alpha + \beta)}=-\dfrac{11\sqrt{5}}{25} \div -\dfrac{2\sqrt{5}}{25} =\dfrac{11}{2}[/tex]

A circle is centered at J(3,3) and has a radius of 12.
Where does the point F(-6, -5) lie?
Choose 1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of this circle is (x - 3)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 12^2.
Let's substitute the coordinates of the given point and compare the results to the above equation: do they produce a correct statement?
(-6 - 3)^2 + (-5 - 3)^2 = ?
9^2 + 8^2 = 145
Because r = 12, the above result would need to be 144, not 145, if the given point were actually on the circle. We must conclude that (-6, -5) lies just outside the circle.
81 + 64 = 144
100 POINTS!!!!! PlZ help Find all possible values of the digits Y, E, A, R if YYYY - EEE + AA - R = 1234, and different letters represent different digits.
Answer:
Y = 1, E = -1, A= 1, R = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
YYYY - EEE + AA - R = 1234
First we would break down the digits in the whole numbers into their place value (thousands, hundreds, tens and units).
YYYY = 1000Y + 100Y +10Y + Y
EEE = 100E + 10E + E
-EEE = -100E - 10E - E
AA = 10A + A
R = R
-R = -R
1234 = 1000+200+30+4
Let's equate each place value for each of the numbers.
Thousands: 1000Y = 1000
Y = 1000/1000 = 1
Hundreds: 100Y - 100E = 200
100(1) - 100E = 200
-100E = 200-100
-100E= 100
E = -1
-EEE = -E(111)
Tens: 10Y - 10E + 10A = 30
10(1) - 10(-1) + 10A = 30
20+ 10A = 30
A = 10/10
A= 1
Units: Y - E + A - R = 4
1 - (-1) + 1 - R = 4
3-R = 4
R = 3-4 = -1
YYYY - EEE + AA - R = 1234
1111 - (-111) + 11 - (-1) = 1111+111+11+1 = 1234
All possible values of the digits Y, E, A, R are Y = 1, E = -1, A= 1, R = -1
Answer:
Y=2
E=9
A=1
R=0

WORK OUT THE VALUE of 19+7⌹2-5
Answer:
17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember PEMDAS
step 1 : divide 7 by 2
7 ÷ 2 = 3.5
step 2 : rewrite the equation
19 + 3.5 - 5
step 3 : add 19 + 3.5
19 + 3.5 = 22.5
step 4 : subtract 22.5 - 5
22.5 - 5 = 17.5
If three times a number, added to 2 is divided by the number plus 5, the result is eight thirds.
Answer:
Number = 34
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for our mystery "number". I will call this number N.
We can find out what our equation looks like based on what the question tells us.
"three times a number" is 3N
"added to 2" is + 2
Which so far is 3N + 2
"divided by the number plus 5" is ÷ [tex]{N+5}[/tex]
Combined with the first two parts to give us (3N + 2) ÷ (N + 5)
"the result is eight third" So the above equation is equal to 8/3
Combining all these comments together to get the following equation
(3N + 2) ÷ (N + 5) = 8/3
Rearrange by multiplying both sides of the = by (N+5)
3N + 2 ÷ (N + 5) × (N + 5) = 8/3 × (N + 5)
Simplify
3N + 2 = 8/3 × (N + 5)
3N + 2 = 8N/3 + 40/3
Bring the N numbers to one side and the non N numbers to the other side, by subtracting 2 from both sides of the =
3N + 2 - 2 = 8N/3 + 40/3 - 2
Simplify
3N = 8N/3 + 34/3
and then subtracting 8N/3 from both sides
3N - 8N/3 = 8N/3 - 8N/3 + 34/3
Simplify
1N/3 = 34/3
Simplify for our final answer by multiplying both sides of the = by 3
1N/3 x 3 = 34/3 x 3
N = 34
Many of these steps can be skipped when solving for yourself but I wanted to be thorough
6 identical toys weigh 1.8kg how much would 4 weigh
Answer:
1.2kg
Step-by-step explanation:
6 identical toys weigh 1.8kg.
1 toy would weigh:
1.8/6 = 0.3
0.3 kg.
Multiply 0.3 with 4 to find how much 4 identical toys would weigh.
0.3 × 4 = 1.2
4 identical toys would weigh 1.2kg
Answer:
[tex]1.2kg[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
6 identical toys weigh = 1.8kg
Let's find the weight of 1 toy ,
[tex]1.8 \div 6 = 0.3[/tex]
Now, lets find the weigh of 6 toys,
[tex]0.3 \times 4 = 1.2kg[/tex]
A large school district notices that about 26% of its sophomore students fail Algebra I. An online education supplier suggests the district try its new technology software, which is designed to improve Algebra 1 skills and, thus, decrease the number of students who fail the course. The new technology software is quite expensive, so the company offers a free, one-year trial period to determine whether the Algebra 1 pass rate improves. If it works, the district will pay for continued use of the software. What would happen if the school district makes a Type I error
Answer:
In the case of a Type I error, the null hypothesis would be wrongly rejected and the school district will conclude that the new technology is effective when it is not.
They will start to pay for the software when in fact it does not improve Algebra 1 skills.
Step-by-step explanation:
A Type I error happens when a true null hypothesis is rejected.
The probability of a Type I error is equal to the significance level, as it is the probabilty of getting an sample result with low probability but only due to chance, as the null hypothesis is in fact true.
In this scenario, the null hypothesis would represent the claim that the new technology does not make significant improvement.
In the case of a Type I error, this null hypothesis would be wrongly rejected and the school district will conclude that the new technology is effective when it is not.
They will start to pay for the software when in fact it does not improve Algebra 1 skills.
