The final margin of an NFL football game is approximately normally distributed, with a mean equal to the gambling point spread and a standard deviation of 14 points. Recall the great 2008 Super Bowl in which the Giants upset the Patriots. The Patriots had been favored by 12 points. What does that fact imply about the Giants' initial (i.e., pre-game) chances of winning

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Giants had 0.1949 = 19.49% probability of winning initially.

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.

Mean equal to the gambling point spread and a standard deviation of 14 points. The Patriots had been favored by 12 points.

This means that [tex]\mu = 12, \sigma = 14[/tex]

What does that fact imply about the Giants' initial (i.e., pre-game) chances of winning

P(X > 0): Probability of Patriots winning.

P(X < 0): Probability of Giants winning.

So we want to find P(X < 0), which is the pvalue of Z when X = 0. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0 - 12}{14}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.86[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.86[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1949

The Giants had 0.1949 = 19.49% probability of winning initially.

Si un rectángulo con perímetro de 74 pulgadas tiene un largo de 5 pies más que el ancho,
¿cuáles son las dimensiones?

Answers

Perímetro del rectángulo = 74 pulgadas

Deje que el ancho del rectángulo sea 'x'.

Entonces, la longitud de este rectángulo = x + 5

We know that :

[tex]\color{hotpink}\tt \: Perímetro \: del \: rectángulo =\color{plum} 2 × (l + b) [/tex]

Lo que significa :

[tex] =\tt 2(x + x + 5) = 74[/tex]

[tex] =\tt 2(2x + 5) = 74[/tex]

[tex] =\tt 4x +10 = 74 [/tex]

[tex] =\tt 4x = 74 - 10[/tex]

[tex] =\tt 4x = 64[/tex]

[tex] =\tt x = \frac{64}{4} [/tex]

[tex]\color{plum} =\tt x = 16[/tex]

Por lo tanto, el ancho de este rectángulo = 16 pulgadas

Entonces, la longitud de este rectángulo :

[tex] =\tt x + 5[/tex]

[tex] = \tt16 + 5[/tex]

[tex]\color{plum} =\tt 21 \: pulgadas[/tex]

La longitud de este rectángulo = 21 pulgadas

Por lo tanto :

● Longitud del rectángulo = 21 pulgadas

● Ancho del rectángulo = 16 pulgadas

Answers

Answer:

3[tex]\sqrt{13}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 'c' first by using the Altitutude Rule:

4/c = c/9

cross-multiply to get:

c = [tex]\sqrt{36}[/tex] or 6

Now you can find 'a' by using the Pythagorean Theorem:

4² + 6² = a²

a = [tex]\sqrt{52}[/tex]

Now you can find 'b' by using the Pythagorean Theorem:

([tex]\sqrt{52}[/tex])² + b² = (9+4)²

52 + b² = 169

b² = [tex]\sqrt{117}[/tex]

b = [tex]\sqrt{117}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex][tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex][tex]\sqrt{13}[/tex]

b = 3[tex]\sqrt{13}[/tex]

Answer:

  (-1, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the coordinates of the image and the coordinates of the original is the same for both points.

  X - (0, 2) = (5, 2) -(6, 6)

  X = (5, 2) -(6, 6) +(0, 2) = (5-6+0, 2-6+2)

  X = (-1, -2)

The image of the point after translation is (-1, -2).

If he passes science, then the probability that he will also pass the math test is 4 5 ; otherwise, the probability is only 1 3 that he will pass the math test. What is the probability he passes exactly one test

Answers

Answer:

0.2333 = 23.33% probability he passes exactly one test

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

3/4 probability that he passes the first test.

If he passes the first test, 4/5 probability that he passes the math test.

If he does not pass the first test, 1/3 probability that he passes the math test.

What is the probability he passes exactly one test

Two scenarios:

Pass first(3/4 probability) and fails second(1/5 probability).

Fails first(1/4 probability) and passes second(1/3 probability). So

[tex]p = \frac{3}{4}*\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{4}*\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{20} + \frac{1}{12} = \frac{9 + 5}{60} = \frac{14}{60} = 0.2333[/tex]

0.2333 = 23.33% probability he passes exactly one test

118.4 divided by 6.4 = ?
EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER

Answers

Answer:

18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

to do this question you need to move the decimals. When your denominator has a decimal in it, you need to get rid of it. in order to do that, you have to move the decimal on both numbers so the numbers being divided would be 1184/64. Just divide from there

The division of the given numbers results as 19.

What is a Decimal number?

A decimal number is the representation of a number in whole and a part. The whole is represented by an integer while the part is equivalent to a number divided by the order of 10.

The given expression is 118.4 ÷ 6.4.

The division can be done step by step as follows,

Step 1:

Both the decimal numbers have only one digit after the decimal.

Thus, both can be multiplied by 10 to remove the decimal as follows,

118.4/6.4 = (118.4 × 10)/(6.4 × 10)

              = 1184/64

Now, the equivalent expression becomes as 1184 ÷ 64.

Step 2:

Divide 1184 and 64 with their largest common factor as follows,

(1184 ÷ 16)/(64 ÷ 16) = 76/4

Step 3:

Again divide 76 and 4 to get 19 as follows,

76/4 = 19

Hence, the given expression can be simplified to give 19 as the result.
