Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Probability-Above 30 min = 5.72% = .0572

b) Probability-Above 15 min =  99.11% = .9911

c) *Probability-Between  1 - 59.49% = .4051

d) 19.136 minutes  z = -1.28

Answer 2

a) The probability that trip will take at least 1/2 hour will be 0.0606.

b) The percentage of time the lawyer is late for work will be 99.18%.

c) The probability that lawyer misses coffee will be 0.3659.

d) The length of time above which we find the slowest 10​% of trips will be 0.5438.

e) The probability that exactly 2 out of 3 trips will take at least one half

1/2 hour is 0.0103.

What do you mean by normal distribution ?

A probability distribution known as a "normal distribution" shows that data are more likely to occur when they are close to the mean than when they are far from the mean.

Let assume the time taken for a one way trip be x .

x ⇒ N( μ , σ ²)

x  ⇒ N( 24 , 3.8 ²)

a)

The probability that trip will take at least 1/2 hour or 30 minutes will be :

P ( x ≥ 30)

= P [ (x - μ) / σ ≥ (30 - μ) / σ ]

We know that , (x - μ) / σ = z.

= P [ z ≥ (30 - 24) / 3.8)]

= P [ z ≥ 1.578 ]

= 1 - P [  z ≤ 1.578 ]

Now , using the standard normal table :

P ( x ≥ 30)

= 1 - 0.9394

= 0.0606

b)

The percentage of the time the lawyer is late for work will be :

P ( x  ≥ 15)

= P [ z ≥ -2.368 ]

= P [  z ≤ 2.368]

= 0.9918

or

99.18%

c)

The probability that lawyer misses coffee :

P ( 15 < x < 25 ) = P ( x < 25 ) - P ( x < 15)

= P [  z < 0.263] - P ( z < -2.368)

or

= 0.3659

d)

The length of time above which we find the slowest 10​% of trips :

P( x ≥ X ) ≤ 0.10

=  0.5438

e)

Let's assume that y represents the number of trips that takes at least half hour.

y ⇒ B ( n , p)

y ⇒ B ( 3 , 0.0606)

So , the probability that exactly 2 out of 3 trips will take at least one half

1/2 hour is :

P ( Y = 2 )

= 3C2 × (0.0606)² × ( 1 - 0.0606)

= 0.0103

Therefore , the answers are :

a) The probability that trip will take at least 1/2 hour will be 0.0606.

b) The percentage of time the lawyer is late for work will be 99.18%.

c) The probability that lawyer misses coffee will be 0.3659.

d) The length of time above which we find the slowest 10​% of trips will be 0.5438.

e) The probability that exactly 2 out of 3 trips will take at least one half

1/2 hour is 0.0103.

Jaime is three years younger than his brother Keegan. In five years, the sum of their ages will be thirty-nine.
How old are they now?

Answers

Answer:

Keegan is 16 and Jamie is 13.

Step by Step Explanation:

So if we were to take the number 39 and divide it by 2, we would get 19.5. Since Jaime is 3 years younger, we would subtract 3 from one of the 19's. Then we would add 1.5 to both of the numbers since that 3 we subtracted has to go somewhere in that 39, and we come up with the numbers 21 and 18. Since it is asking how old they are NOW and not in the future, we subtract 5 from both numbers to account for the 5 years, and we end up with the years 16 and 13.

The graph shows the relationship between time
and the number of soda bottles a machine can
make. Use the points (2,48) and (7,168) to find
the number of soda bottles the machine can make
each minute.

Answers

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of soda bottles the machine can make  each minute is the unit rate, slope. To find slope using those two points, use the formula:

[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Identify the points: (2,48)  (7,168)

[tex]y_2=168[/tex]

[tex]y_1=48[/tex]

[tex]x_2=7[/tex]

[tex]x_1=2[/tex]

Plug these into the formula then solve:

[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{168-48}{7-2}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{120}{5}[/tex]

[tex]=24[/tex]

The slope is 24, and therefore the unit rate. Hence, the machine can make 24 soda bottles each minute.

Simple way

Where you see the point at 48 and 2, it means [tex]\frac{48}{2}[/tex]. So divide

48 ÷ 2 = 24.

Answer:

The solution of the system is (6, 9).

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve one of the variables and substitute the answer for the other variable.

Select one of the problems and solve for x.

3x+y=27

Subtract y from both sides.

3x+-y=27

Divide both sides by three.

x=1/3(-y + 27)

Multiply 1/3 by -y + 27.

x = -1/3y + 9

Replace -y/3 + 9 for x in the other problem 3x-2y=0.

3(-1/3y + 9) - 2y = 0

Multiply 3 by -y/3 + 9.

−y+27−2y=0

Add -y to -2y.

−3y+27=0

Subtract 27 from both sides of the problem.

−3y=−27

Divide both sides by −3.

y=9

Replace 9 for y in x=−1/3​y+9.

x=−1/3*9+9

Multiply −1/3​ times 9.

x=-3+9

Add 9 to -3.

x = 6.

x = 6, y = 9.

This answer is correct because I simplified using like terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting Polynomials

They key to subtract, multiply, add, and divide polynomials is by using like terms. Like terms are values with the same bases. For example :

          [tex]ax^2[/tex]     and    [tex]2ax^2[/tex]    are like terms because they have the base  [tex]ax[/tex]

Step 1: Move like terms together

First, let's remove all parenthesis:

[tex](3x^2 + 9x-6)-(2x^2-4x^2+6x-4)\\\\= 3x^2+9x-6-2x^2+4x^2-6x+4[/tex]

Now let's move all like terms together:

[tex]3x^2+9x-6-2x^2+4x^2-6x+4= \\3x^2-2x^2+4x^2+9x-6x-6+4[/tex]

Step 2: Simplify

Now we can add and subtract the like terms like we do in any other problem

[tex]3x^2-2x^2+4x^2+9x-6x-6+4 = \\5x^2+3x-2[/tex]

Round to the nearest whole dollar.

Answers

The minimum initial deposit Arthur must make is $ 4.24.

Since Arthur is saving money to buy a used car in 8 months, and the car costs $ 2,180, and Arthur plans to start with an initial deposit and then deposit 25% more than the previous month until he has enough money to buy the car, to determine what is the minimum initial deposit Arthur must make the following calculation should be performed:  

X x 1.25 x 1.56 x 1.95 x 2.44 x 3.05 x 3.81 x 4.76 = 2180 514.10X = 2180 X = 2180 / 514.10 X = 4.24

Therefore, the minimum initial deposit Arthur must make is $ 4.24.

What is the diameter of a circle with the equation x2 + y2 - 8x + 2y - 8 = 0?

5 units
6 units
9 units
10 units

Answers

Answer:

Diameter is 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert standard form to general form by completing the square:

[tex]x^2+y^2-8x+2y-8=0[/tex]

[tex]x^2-8x+y^2+2y-8=0[/tex]

[tex]x^2-8x+y^2+2y=8[/tex]

[tex]x^2-8x+16+y^2+2y+1=8+16+1[/tex]

[tex](x-4)^2+(y+1)^2=25[/tex]

[tex](x-4)^2+(y+1)^2=5^2[/tex]

So, since the radius of the circle is 5 units, then the diameter is twice the radius, which is 10 units.

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 + y2 - 8x + 2y - 8 = 0

first we find the radius with the equation.

write the equation in standard form.

x2 + y2 - 8x + 2y - 8 = 0

(x-4)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 25

(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²

this means 25 is the radius and the diameter is two times the radius so,

25 x 2 = 50

 b. If only two pieces of adequate land are available for sale: Baker’s Field at 43.6784˚N, 70.3827˚W; or L onesome Acres at 43.5119˚N, 70.3856˚W, using rectilinear distances, which is closer to the site located in part (a)?

Answers

Answer:

  (a) 43.6490°N, 70.3928°W

  (b) Baker's Field

Step-by-step explanation:

The locations are all within a 7-mile square, so we will make the assumption of a flat Earth with parallel longitude lines. Then the "central" location will be the weighted average of the latitude and longitude coordinates.

(a)

Total population is 16000 +22000 +36500 = 74,500. For purposes of the arithmetic, we will subtract 43 from latitude and 70 from longitude, then multiply each fraction by 10. Similarly, we will divide each population by 1000.

The weighted average location is found from ...

  (16/74.5)(6.769, 3.717) +(22/74.5)(5.781, 3.222) +(36.5/74.5)(6.795, 4.447)

  = (1.4537, 0.7983) +(1.7071, 0.9515) +(3.3291, 2.1787) = (6.490, 3.928)

The center of gravity is about 43.6490°N, 70.3928°W.

__

(b)

The coordinate differences from the center of gravity are (in (°lat, °long)) ...

  Baker's Field: (0.0294, -0.0101)

  Lonesome Acres: (-0.1371, -.0072)

Clearly, Baker's field is closer to the site of part (a).

_____

Additional comment

Distance calculations could be refined further by considering that a degree of longitude at this latitude represents about 0.72 times the distance of a degree of latitude. In this problem, the location of Lonesome Acres has a latitude difference that is several times any of the other coordinate differences, so it is clearly much farther away from the desired location.

The calculations done here are a sort of first-level approximation. The least-significant digits in the coordinates represent a distance of less than 50 feet. If you really want accuracy to that level, then the (approximately) spherical shape of the Earth needs to be accounted for. As a second-level approximation, some reference point needs to be identified, and coordinates in miles (or feet) need to be expressed in relation to that reference. The best accuracy would be obtained using spherical trigonometry to identify the distances.

We expect any school that is constructed to be somewhat larger than 50 feet in any direction, so accuracy to the 4th decimal place in these locations is probably not required--except to satisfy some answer-checker.
