[tex]p_1=\{^{\frac{1}{2}:9\leq i\leq 11}_{0:otherwise[/tex]
Now define
[tex]p = 2I^2[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow I^2=(\frac{p}{2} )\\\\\Rightarrow I=(\frac{p}{2} )^{\frac{1}{2} }\\\\\Rightarrow h^{-1}(p)=(\frac{p}{2} )^{\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dh^{-1}}{dp} =\frac{d[h^{-1}(p)]}{dp} \\\\=\frac{d(p/2)^{\frac{1}{2} }}{dp}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} (\frac{p}{2} )^{{\frac{1}{2}-1} }\\\\=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{p}{2} )^{{\frac{1}{2}-1} }\\\\=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{p} )^{{\frac{1}{2}} }[/tex]
using the transformation method, we get
[tex]f_p(p)=f_1(h^{-1}(p))|\frac{d[h^{-1}(p)]}{dp} |\\\\=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} (\frac{2}{p} )^{\frac{1}{2} }\\\\=\frac{1}{8} (\frac{2}{p} )^{\frac{1}{2} }[/tex]
[tex]f_p(p)=\{^{\frac{1}{8} (\frac{2}{p} )^{\frac{1}{2} },162\leqp\leq 242} }_{0,otherwise}[/tex]

Company A makes a large shipment to Company B. Company B can reject the shipment if they can conclude that the proportion of defective items in the shipment is larger than 0.1. In a sample of 400 items from the shipment, Company B finds that 59 are defective. Conduct the appropriate hypothesis test for Company B using a 0.05 level of significance.
Answer:
[tex]z=\frac{0.1475-0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{400}}}=3.17[/tex]
The p value for this case would be given by:
[tex]p_v =P(z>3.17)=0.00076[/tex]
For this case the p value is lower than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 0.1 and then Company B can reject the shipment
Step-by-step explanation:
Information provided
n=400 represent the random sample taken
X=59 represent number of defectives from the company B
[tex]\hat p=\frac{59}{400}=0.1475[/tex] estimated proportion of defectives from the company B
[tex]p_o=0.1[/tex] is the value to verify
[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level
z would represent the statistic
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value
Hypothesis to test
We want to verify if the true proportion of defectives is higher than 0.1 then the system of hypothesis are.:
Null hypothesis:[tex]p \leq 0.1[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p > 0.1[/tex]
The statistic would be given by:
[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)
Replacing the info given we got:
[tex]z=\frac{0.1475-0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{400}}}=3.17[/tex]
The p value for this case would be given by:
[tex]p_v =P(z>3.17)=0.00076[/tex]
For this case the p value is lower than the significance level so then we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly higher than 0.1 and then Company B can reject the shipment
The sum of one and the product of 4 and a number x
Answer:
1 + 4x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's break this down.
"The sum of one" means that something is being added to the number one:
1 +
"and" whatever comes after the word 'and' will be added to the number one
"the product of 4 and a number x" this means that the number four and the variable x are being multiplied:
4x
Put it together:
1 + 4x
Therefore, the expression is 1 + 4x.
Is f(x) continuous at x equals 4? Why or why not? A. No, f(x) is not continuous at x equals 4 because ModifyingBelow lim With x right arrow 4 f (x )does not exist. B. Yes, f(x) is continuous at x equals 4 because f (4 )exists. C. No, f(x) is not continuous at x equals 4 because f (4 )is undefined. D. Yes, f(x) is continuous at x equals 4 because ModifyingBelow lim With x right arrow 4 f (x )equals f (4 ).
Corrected Question
Is the function given by:
[tex]f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{4}x+1 &x\leq 4\\4x-11&x>4\end{array}\right[/tex]
continuous at x=4? Why or why not? Choose the correct answer below.
Answer:
(D) Yes, f(x) is continuous at x = 4 because [tex]Lim_{x \to 4}f(x)=f(4)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function:
[tex]f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{4}x+1 &x\leq 4\\4x-11&x>4\end{array}\right[/tex]
A function to be continuous at some value c in its domain if the following condition holds:
f(c) exists and is defined.[tex]Lim_{x \to c}$ f(x)[/tex] exists. [tex]f(c)=Lim_{x \to c}$ f(x)[/tex]At x=4
[tex]f(4)=\dfrac{1}{4}*4+1=2[/tex][tex]Lim_{x \to 4}f(x)=2[/tex]Therefore: [tex]Lim_{x \to 4}f(x)=f(4)=2[/tex]
By the above, the function satisfies the condition for continuity.
The correct option is D.

Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest cent.
Answer:
5,586.17
Step-by-step explanation:
A = $ 5,586.17
A = P + I where
P (principal) = $ 4,000.00
I (interest) = $ 1,586.17
Compound Interest Equation
A = P(1 + r/n)^nt
Where:
A = Accrued Amount (principal + interest)
P = Principal Amount
I = Interest Amount
R = Annual Nominal Interest Rate in percent
r = Annual Nominal Interest Rate as a decimal
r = R/100
t = Time Involved in years, 0.5 years is calculated as 6 months, etc.
n = number of compounding periods per unit t; at the END of each period
A(x) = -0.015x^3+1.05xA ( x ) = − 0.015 x 3 + 1.05 x gives the alcohol level in an average person's blood x hrs after drinking 8 oz of 100-proof whiskey. If the level exceeds 1.5 units, a person is legally drunk.
Would an average person be legally drunk after 4 hours?
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
the function that gives the alcohol level is:
[tex]A ( x ) = - 0.015 x^3 + 1.05 x[/tex]
where x is the number of hours.
we need to know if after 4 hours an average person is legally drunk, thus:
[tex]x=4[/tex]
and we substitute this in the function:
[tex]A ( 4 ) = - 0.015 (4)^ 3 + 1.05(4)[/tex]
solving these operations we obtain:
[tex]A(4)=-0.015(64)+4.2\\A(4)=-0.96+4.2[/tex]
[tex]A(4)=3.24[/tex]
the alcohol level after 4 hours is 3.24.
Since a person is considered to be legally drunk if the level exceeds 1.5, and we obtained 3.24 which is greater than 1.5, a person who has been drinking for 4 hours under the conditions indicated by the problem would be considered legally drunk.

b) The circumference of the circle C = 37.68 ft
c) The circumference of the circle C = 40.82 km
d) The radius of the circle = r = 11 c.m
The Diameter of the circle 'd' = 2(r) = 2(11) =22 c.m
e) The circumference of the circle = 21.98 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
a) In First diagram
Given radius of the circle 'r' = 7.1 m
The circumference of the circle C = 2πr
C = 2 (3.14) (7.1)
C = 21.98 m
The circumference of the circle C = 21.98 m
b) In second diagram
Given diameter of the circle 'd' = 12 ft
The circumference of the circle C = 2πr
C = π(2 r)
Diameter = 2 X radius
d = 2 r
The circumference of the circle C = πd
C = 3.14 ×12
The circumference of the circle C = 37.68 ft
c)
Given diameter of the circle 'd' = 13 km
The circumference of the circle C = 2πr
C = π(2 r)
Diameter = 2 X radius
d = 2 r
The circumference of the circle C = πd
C = 3.14 ×13
The circumference of the circle C = 40.82 km
7) The circumference of the circle C = 2πr
Given The circumference of a circle is 34.54 cm
Now 2πr = 34.54
2(3.14) r = 34.54
[tex]r = \frac{34.54}{3.14} = 11[/tex]
The radius of the circle = r = 11 c.m
The Diameter of the circle 'd' = 2(r) = 2(11) =22 c.m
8) Given radius of the circle 'r' = 3.5 inches
The circumference of the circle C = 2πr
C = 2 (3.14) (3.5)
C = 21.98
The circumference of the circle = 21.98 inches

You are writing music for a movie and you have to synchronize the music to the amount of frames per click in it. It's a battle scene so you want fast, energetic and exciting music. You choose a Presto tempo marking of 200 beats per minute. How many picture frames are there per each tempo click? (Round to the nearest whole number and write only the number.)
Answer: 7.2 frames per bit.
Step-by-step explanation:
Our teempo is 200 bpm.
in one minute we have 60 seconds, so here we have:
200b/60s = 3.33 bits per second.
For movies, the standar is 24 frames per second
now, we can take the quotient between the frames per second and the bits per second and get the frames per bit.
24fps/3.33bps = 7.2 frames per bit.

A humanities professor assigns letter grades on a test according to the following scheme. A: Top 12% of scores B: Scores below the top 12% and above the bottom 61% C: Scores below the top 39% and above the bottom 21% D: Scores below the top 79% and above the bottom 6% F: Bottom 6% of scores Scores on the test are normally distributed with a mean of 67.7 and a standard deviation of 7.8. Find the minimum score required for an A grade. Round your answer to the nearest whole number, if necessary.
Answer:
The minimum score required for an A grade is 77.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 67.7, \sigma = 7.8[/tex]
Find the minimum score required for an A grade.
Top 12% of scores get an A.
100-12 = 88th percentile.
The 88th percentile of scores is the minimum required for an A grade. This score is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.88. So X when Z = 1.175.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]1.175 = \frac{X - 67.7}{7.8}[/tex]
[tex]X - 67.7 = 7.8*1.175[/tex]
[tex]X = 76.865[/tex]
Rounding to the nearest whole number:
The minimum score required for an A grade is 77.
4. Dean Pelton wants to perform calculations to impress the accreditation consultants, but upon asking for information about GPAs at Greendale Community College, Chang only tells Pelton that the GPAs are distributed with a probability density function f(x) = D(2 + e −x ), 2 ≤ x ≤ 4 where D was some unknown "Duncan" constant. How many student records have to be retrieved so that the probability that the average GPA is less than 2.3 is less than 4 percent?
Answer:
the minimum records to be retrieved by using Chebysher - one sided inequality is 17.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let assume that n should represent the number of the students
SO, [tex]\bar x[/tex] can now be the sample mean of number of students in GPA's
To obtain n such that [tex]P( \bar x \leq 2.3 ) \leq .04[/tex]
⇒ [tex]P( \bar x \geq 2.3 ) \geq .96[/tex]
However ;
[tex]E(x) = \int\limits^4_2 Dx (2+e^{-x} ) 4x = D \\ \\ = D(e^{-x} (e^xx^2 - x-1 ) ) ^D_2 = 12.314 D[/tex]
[tex]E(x^2) = D\int\limits^4_2 (2+e^{-x})dx \\ \\ = \dfrac{D}{3}[e^{-4} (2e^x x^3 -3x^2 -6x -6)]^4__2}}= 38.21 \ D[/tex]
Similarly;
[tex]D\int\limits^4_2(2+ e^{-x}) dx = 1[/tex]
⇒ [tex]D*(2x-e^{-x} ) |^4_2 = 1[/tex]
⇒ [tex]D*4.117 = 1[/tex]
⇒ [tex]D= \dfrac{1}{4.117}[/tex]
[tex]\mu = E(x) = 2.991013 ; \\ \\ E(x^2) = 9.28103[/tex]
∴ [tex]Var (x) = E(x^2) - E^2(x) \\ \\ = .3348711[/tex]
Now; [tex]P(\bar \geq 2.3) = P( \bar x - 2.991013 \geq 2.3 - 2.991013) \\ \\ = P( \omega \geq .691013) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (x = E(\bar x ) - \mu)[/tex]
Using Chebysher one sided inequality ; we have:
[tex]P(\omega \geq -.691013) \geq \dfrac{(.691013)^2}{Var ( \omega) +(.691013)^2}[/tex]
So; [tex](\omega = \bar x - \mu)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]E(\omega ) = 0 \\ \\ Var (\omega ) = \dfrac{Var (x_i)}{n}[/tex]
∴ [tex]P(\omega \geq .691013) \geq \dfrac{(.691013)^2}{\frac{.3348711}{n}+(691013)^2}[/tex]
To determine n; such that ;
[tex]\dfrac{(.691013)^2}{\frac{.3348711}{n}+(691013)^2} \geq 0.96 \\ \\ \\ (.691013)^2(1-.96) \geq \dfrac{-3348711*.96}{n}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]n \geq \dfrac{.3348711*.96}{.04*(.691013)^2}[/tex]
[tex]n \geq 16.83125[/tex]
Thus; we can conclude that; the minimum records to be retrieved by using Chebysher - one sided inequality is 17.
Are You Ready for More?: Two raised to the 12th power is equal to 4,096. How many other
whole numbers can you raise to a power and get 4,096? Explain or show your reasoning.
(1 Point)
2^12 = 4096
Answer:
4, 8, 16,64 and 4096.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are already given: [tex]4096=2^{12}[/tex]
To determine other whole numbers that can be raised to a power to obtain 4096, we apply the product rule of indices.
Product Rule of Indices: [tex]a^{xy}=(a^x)^y[/tex]
Now 12 can be factored in the following ways where one of the terms must be a perfect square:
12=2 X 612 =6 X 212 =3 X 412 =4 X 312=1 X 12[tex]2^{12}=(2^2)^6=4^6\\\\2^{12}=(2^6)^2=64^2\\\\2^{12}=(2^4)^3=16^3\\\\2^{12}=(2^3)^4=(8^2)^2=8^{2*2}=8^4\\\\2^{12}=(2^{12})^1=4096^1 $(This is the trivial case)[/tex]
Therefore, the other whole numbers that can be raised tp a power to obtain 4096 are: 4, 8, 16, 64 and 4096.

For the given equation, find the values of a, b, and c, determine the direction in which the parabola opens, and determine the y-intercept. Decide which table best illustrates these values for the equation: y = x squared minus 6 x Table A a b c up or down y-intercept 1 -6 0 up (0,0) Table B a b c up or down y-intercept 1 0 0 up (0,-6) Table C a b c up or down y-intercept 1 6 0 up (0,0) Table D a b c up or down y-intercept 1 -6 0 down (0,0) a. Table A c. Table C b. Table B d. Table D Please select the best answer from the choices provided
Answer:
The table that illustrates this equation is table A:
1 -6 0 up (0,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The values of the parameters a, b, and c have to agree with the values for the general quadratic equation in standard form:
[tex]y = a\,x^2+b\,x+c[/tex]
compared to:
[tex]y=x^2-6\,x[/tex]
So the coefficient "a" of the quadratic term in our case is: "1"
the coefficient "b" of the linear term is : "-6"
the coefficient "c" for the constant term s : "0" (zero)
since the coefficient "a" is a positive number, we know that the parabola's branches must be opening "UP".
The y intercept can be found by evaluating the expression for x = 0:
[tex]y=x^2-6x\\y=(0)^2-6\,(0)\\y=0[/tex]
Therefore the y-intercept is at (0, 0)
These results agree with those of Table "A"
Answer:
Table A.)
Step-by-step explanation:
a 1, b -6, c 0, up, (0, 0), Table A.
1. O perímetro de um quadrado é 20 cm. Determine sua diagonal. 1 ponto a) 2 √5 cm b) 20√2 cm c) 5√2 cm d) 2√10 cm
Answer:
c) 5√2 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
A square with side length l has a perimeter given by the following equation:
P = 4l.
In this question:
P = 20
So the side length is:
4l = 20
l = 20/4
l = 5
Diagonal
The diagonal forms a right triangle with two sides, in which the diagonal is the hypothenuse. Applying the pytagoras theorem.
[tex]d^{2} = l^{2} + l^{2}[/tex]
[tex]d^{2} = 5^{2} + 5^{2}[/tex]
[tex]d^{2} = 50[/tex]
[tex]d = \pm \sqrt{50}[/tex]
Lenght is a positive meausre, so
[tex]d = \sqrt{50}[/tex]
[tex]d = \sqrt{2 \times 25}[/tex]
[tex]d = \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{25}[/tex]
[tex]d = 5\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Answer:
f(4) =2
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2х^2 - 30,
Let x=4
f(4) = 2 (4)^2 -30
= 2*16 -30
=32-30
= 2
Statistics show that about 42% of Americans voted in the previous national election. If three Americans are randomly selected, what is the probability that none of them voted in the last election
Answer:
19.51% probability that none of them voted in the last election
Step-by-step explanation:
For each American, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they voted in the previous national election, or they did not. The probability of an American voting in the previous election is independent of other Americans. So we 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.
42% of Americans voted in the previous national election.
This means that [tex]p = 0.42[/tex]
Three Americans are randomly selected
This means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]
What is the probability that none of them voted in the last election
This is P(X = 0).
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.42)^{0}.(0.58)^{3} = 0.1951[/tex]
19.51% probability that none of them voted in the last election
1. The mean of the data set{9,5,y,2,x} is twice the data set {8,x,4,1,3}. What is (y-x) squared.
2. How many alcohol must be added to480 grams of hand sanitizer that is 24% alcohol to make it a hand sanitizer that is 40% alcohol?
Answer:
1. (y - x)² = 256
2. 128g needed to be added
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
9 + 5 + 2 + y + x = 2(8 + 4 + 1 + 3 + x)
16 + y + x = 32 + 2x
y - x = 16
∴ (y - x)² = 256
2.
x = mass of alcohol to add
480 × 0.24 = 115.2 ← current mass of alcohol
0.4(480 + x) = 115.2 + x (×5)
2(480 + x) = 576 + 5x
960 + 2x = 576 + 5x
3x = 384
x = 128g
A marine biologist is preparing a deep-sea submersible for a dive. The sub stores breathing air under high pressure in a spherical air tank that measures wide. The biologist estimates she will need of air for the dive. Calculate the pressure to which this volume of air must be compressed in order to fit into the air tank. Write your answer in atmospheres. Round your answer to significant digits.
The complete question is;
A marine biologist is preparing a deep-sea submersible for a dive. The sub stores breathing air under high pressure in a spherical air tank that measures 78.0 cm wide. The biologist estimates she will need 2600 L of air for the dive. Calculate the pressure to which this volume of air must be compressed in order to fit in to the air tank. Write you answer in atmospheres
Answer:
10.5 atm
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for Volume of a sphere is;
V = (4/3)πr³
r = 78/2 = 39 cm
V = (4/3)π(39)³
V = (4/3)*π*59319
V = 248475 cm³
Now, from conversions, 1000 cm³ = 1L
So,
V = 248475/1000
V = 248.5 L
This is the volume of the storage tank
If we assume that the 2600 L of air is measured at 1 atmosphere pressure, then we will obtain the following relationship:
From Boyles law,
P1 × V1 = P2 × V2
Thus;
(1 atm) × (2600 L) = (P2) × (248.5 L)
P2 = 2600/248.5
P2 = 10.463 atmospheres
Approximating to 3 significant figures is; P2 = 10.5 atm
