Answer:
$1728
Step-by-step explanation:
1.5 days is 36 hrs
36 hrs is 2160 mins
2160/30 = 72 (this is the amount of times our money will be doubled)
72*2 = 144
$12*144 = $1728
A particle is moving with the given data. Find the position of the particle.
a(t) = [tex]t^{2}[/tex] − 4t + 5, s(0) = 0, s(1) = 20
How do I find s(t)=?
Recall that
[tex]\dfrac{dv(t)}{dt} = a(t) \Rightarrow dv(t) = a(t)dt[/tex]
Integrating this expression, we get
[tex]\displaystyle v(t) = \int a(t)dt = \int(t^2 - 4t + 5)dt[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= \frac{1}{3}t^3 - 2t^2 + 5t + C_1[/tex]
Also, recall that
[tex]\dfrac{ds(t)}{dt} = v(t)[/tex] or
[tex]\displaystyle s(t) = \int v(t)dt = \int (\frac{1}{3}t^3 - 2t^2 + 5t + C_1)dt[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= \frac{1}{12}t^4 - \frac{2}{3}t^3 + \frac{5}{2}t^2 + C_1t + C_2[/tex]
Next step is to find [tex]C_1\:\text{and}\:C_2[/tex]. We know that at t = 0, s = 0, which gives us [tex]C_2 = 0[/tex]. At t = 1, s = 20, which gives us
[tex]s(1) = \frac{1}{12}(1)^4 - \frac{2}{3}(1)^3 + \frac{5}{2}(1)^2 + C_1(1)[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1}{12} - \frac{2}{3} + \frac{5}{2} + C_1 = \frac{23}{12} + C_1 = 20[/tex]
or
[tex]C_1 = \dfrac{217}{12}[/tex]
Therefore, s(t) can be written as
[tex]s(t) = \frac{1}{12}t^4 - \frac{2}{3}t^3 + \frac{5}{2}t^2 + \frac{217}{12}t[/tex]

Explain how to multiply
the following
binomials
(2x - y)(2x + y).
Step-by-step explanation:
you can just use the punnet square method to multiply it
Use FOIL; first, outer, inner, last. Multiply the first terms in each binomial, the outer terms of each binomial, the inner terms of each binomial, and the last terms of each binomial. In this case, you multiply 2x*2x, 2x*y, -y*2x, and -y*y.
A simple random sample of 27 filtered 100-mm cigarettes is obtained from a normally distributed population, and the tar content of each cigarette is measured. The sample has a standard deviation of 0.20 mg. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the tar content of filtered 100-mm cigarettes has a standard deviation different from 0.30 mg, which is the standard deviation for unfiltered king-size cigarettes. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
Answer:
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_0: \sigma = 0.3[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_1: \sigma \neq 0.3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Test if the tar content of filtered 100-mm cigarettes has a standard deviation different from 0.30 mg.
At the null hypothesis, we test if the standard deviation is of 0.3, that is:
[tex]H_0: \sigma = 0.3[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the standard deviation is different of 0.3, that is:
[tex]H_1: \sigma \neq 0.3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
A shop sells a particular of video recorder. Assuming that the weekly demand for the video recorder is a Poisson variable with the mean 3, find the probability that the shop sells. . (a) At least 3 in a week. (b) At most 7 in a week. (c) More than 20 in a month (4 weeks).
Answer:
a) 0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.
b) 0.988 = 98.8% probability that the shop sells at most 7 in a week.
c) 0.0104 = 1.04% probability that the shop sells more than 20 in a month.
Step-by-step explanation:
For questions a and b, the Poisson distribution is used, while for question c, the normal approximation is used.
Poisson distribution:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
In which
x is the number of successes
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
The Poisson distribution can be approximated to the normal with [tex]\mu = \lambda, \sigma = \sqrt{\lambda}[/tex], if [tex]\lambda>10[/tex].
Poisson variable with the mean 3
This means that [tex]\lambda= 3[/tex].
(a) At least 3 in a week.
This is [tex]P(X \geq 3)[/tex]. So
[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)[/tex]
In which:
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 = 0.4232[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 1 - 0.4232 = 0.5768[/tex]
0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.
(b) At most 7 in a week.
This is:
[tex]P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.2240[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.1680[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.1008[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 6) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{6}}{(6)!} = 0.0504[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 7) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{7}}{(7)!} = 0.0216[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 + 0.1680 + 0.1008 + 0.0504 + 0.0216 = 0.988[/tex]
0.988 = 98.8% probability that the shop sells at most 7 in a week.
(c) More than 20 in a month (4 weeks).
4 weeks, so:
[tex]\mu = \lambda = 4(3) = 12[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\lambda} = \sqrt{12}[/tex]
The probability, using continuity correction, is P(X > 20 + 0.5) = P(X > 20.5), which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 20.5.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{20 - 12}{\sqrt{12}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.31[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.31[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9896.
1 - 0.9896 = 0.0104
0.0104 = 1.04% probability that the shop sells more than 20 in a month.
The probability of the selling the video recorders for considered cases are:
P(At least 3 in a week) = 0.5768 approximately.P(At most 7 in a week) = 0.9881 approximately.P( more than 20 in a month) = 0.0839 approximately.What are some of the properties of Poisson distribution?Let X ~ Pois(λ)
Then we have:
E(X) = λ = Var(X)
Since standard deviation is square root (positive) of variance,
Thus,
Standard deviation of X = [tex]\sqrt{\lambda}[/tex]
Its probability function is given by
f(k; λ) = Pr(X = k) = [tex]\dfrac{\lambda^{k}e^{-\lambda}}{k!}[/tex]
For this case, let we have:
X = the number of weekly demand of video recorder for the considered shop.
Then, by the given data, we have:
X ~ Pois(λ=3)
Evaluating each event's probability:
Case 1: At least 3 in a week.
[tex]P(X > 3) = 1- P(X \leq 2) = \sum_{i=0}^{2}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{2} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X > 3) = 1 - e^{-3} \times \left( 1 + 3 + 9/2\right) \approx 1 - 0.4232 = 0.5768[/tex]
Case 2: At most 7 in a week.
[tex]P(X \leq 7) = \sum_{i=0}^{7}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{7} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X \leq 7) = e^{-3} \times \left( 1 + 3 + 9/2 + 27/6 + 81/24 + 243/120 + 729/720 + 2187/5040\right)\\\\P(X \leq 7) \approx 0.9881[/tex]
Case 3: More than 20 in a month(4 weeks)
That means more than 5 in a week on average.
[tex]P(X > 5) = 1- P(X \leq 5) =\sum_{i=0}^{5}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{5} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X > 5) = 1- e^{-3}( 1 + 3 + 9/2 + 27/6 + 81/24 + 243/120)\\\\P(X > 5) \approx 1 - 0.9161 \\ P(X > 5) \approx 0.0839[/tex]
Thus, the probability of the selling the video recorders for considered cases are:

Answer:
Kei got the best deal.
Explanation:
The ratio of cost to number of books purchased for all of four friends will be.....
Jo ⇒ [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex], Kei ⇒ [tex]\frac{12}{8}[/tex] , Kate ⇒ [tex]\frac{30}{16}[/tex], Bryn ⇒ [tex]\frac{8}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9}{4} =\frac{9*4}{4*4} =\frac{36}{16}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{12}{8} =\frac{12*2}{8*2} =\frac{24}{16}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{30}{16} =\frac{30*1}{16*1} =\frac{30}{16}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{8}{4} =\frac{8*4}{4*4} =\frac{32}{16}[/tex]
As you could tell the lowest is [tex]\frac{24}{16}[/tex] so the lowest is Kei.

Answer:
-52
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(x + 10) - 6 = -3(x - 2)
Distribute the left side to get:
(-4x + -40) - 6
Now distribute the right side to get:
-3x + 6
Arrange the equation as the following:
-4x - 40 - 6 = -3x + 6
Add the like terms on each side:
-4x - 46 = -3x + 6
Do the inverse operation of each term:
-x = 52
Now we need to get x to become a positive, so we just divide -x by -1 to get x.
And 52/-1 to get our final answer of -52.

You just have to distribute meaning you have to multiply -2x to the equation.
In an annual report to investors, an investment firm claims that the share price of one of their bond funds had very little variability. The report shows the average price as $15.00 with a variance of 0.19. One of the investors wants to investigate this claim. He takes a random sample of the share prices for 22 days throughout the last year and finds that the standard deviation of the share price is 0.2517. Can the investor conclude that the variance of the share price of the bond fund is different than claimed at α = 0.05. Assume the population is normally distributed.
Required:
State the null and alternative hypotheses. Round to four decimal places when necessary
In this question, the variance of the population is tested. From the data given in the exercise, we build the hypothesis, then we find the value of test statistic and it's respective p-value, to conclude the test. From this, it is found that the conclusion is:
The p-value of the test is 0.0038 < 0.05, which means that the investor can conclude that the variance of the share price of the bond fund is different than claimed at α = 0.05.
----------------
Claimed variance of 0.19:
This means that at the null hypothesis, it is tested if the variance is of 0.19, that is:
[tex]H_0: \sigma^2 = 0.19[/tex]
----------------
Test if the variance of the share price of the bond fund is different than claimed at α = 0.05.
At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the variance is different of the claimed value of 0.19, that is:
[tex]H_1: \sigma^2 \neq 0.19[/tex]
The test statistic for the population standard deviation/variance is:[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{n-1}{\sigma_0^2}s^2[/tex]
In which n is the sample size, is the value tested for the variance and s is the sample standard deviation.
----------------
0.19 is tested at the null hypothesis, as the variance:
This means that [tex]\sigma_0^2 = 0.19[/tex]
----------------
He takes a random sample of the share prices for 22 days throughout the last year and finds that the standard deviation of the share price is 0.2517.
This means that [tex]n = 22, s^2 = (0.2517)^2 = 0.0634[/tex]
----------------
Value of the test statistic:
[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{n-1}{\sigma_0^2}s^2[/tex]
[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{21*0.0634}{0.19}[/tex]
[tex]\chi^2 = 7[/tex]
----------------
P-value of the test and decision:
The p-value of the test is found using a chi-square for the variance calculator, considering a test statistic of [tex]\chi^2 = 7[/tex] and 22 - 1 = 21 degrees of freedom, and a two-tailed test(test if the mean is different of a value).
Using the calculator, the p-value of the test is 0.0038.
The p-value of the test is 0.0038 < 0.05, which means that the investor can conclude that the variance of the share price of the bond fund is different than claimed at α = 0.05.
