Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) P(Betty is first in line and mary is last) = P(B₁) + P(Mₙ) - (P(B₁) × P(Mₙ/B₁))

B) The method used is Relative frequency approach.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told a sample of n kids line up for recess.

Now, the order in which they line up is random with each ordering being equally likely. Thus, this means that the probability of each kid to take a position is n(total of kids/positions).

Since we are being asked about 3 kids from the class, let's assign a letter to each kid:

J: John

B: Betty

M: Mary

A) Now, we want to find the probability that Betty is first in line or Mary is last in line.

In this case, the events are not mutually exclusive, since it's possible that "Betty is first but Mary is not last" or "Mary is last but Betty is not first" or "Betty is the first in line and Mary is last". Thus, there is an intersection between them and the probability is symbolized as;

P(B₁ ∪ Mₙ) = P(B₁) + P (Mₙ) - P(B₁ ∩ Mₙ) = P(B₁) + P(Mₙ) - (P(B₁) × P(Mₙ/B₁))

Where;

The suffix 1 refers to the first position while the suffix n refers to the last position.

Also, P(B₁ ∩ Mₙ) = P(B₁) × P(Mₙ/B₁)

This is because the events "Betty" and "Mary" are not independent since every time a kid takes his place the probability of the next one is affected.

B) The method used is Relative frequency approach.

In this method, the probabilities are usually assigned on the basis of experimentation or historical data.

For example, If A is an event we are considering, and we assume that we have performed the same experiment n times so that n is the number of times A could have occurred.

Also, let n_A be the number of times that A did occur.

Now, the relative frequency would be written as (n_A)/n.

Thus, in this method, we will define P(A) as:

P(A) = lim:n→∞[(n_A)/n]

Answer 2

Given this pair of probabilities, the probability that Mary is the first is  n(A) = n-1!, while the probability that Betty is last is  n(A) = n-1!

There are n! ways of making this arrangement

We have probability of A: Betty is the first person in this line

Probability of B: Mary is the last person

A U B = p(A) + p(B) - p(A ∩ B)

n(A) = n-1 that is given that Betty is the first person on the line.

then n(A) = n-1!

As the last person on the line P(B) = n-1!

Probability of (A∩B) =( n-2)!  this has Mary as the first and Betty as the last person.

Remaining students that would have to be on this line are n-2

Prob(A∪B) = n(A ∪ B)/n!

= 2(n-2)/n(n-1)

This is the theory that talks about the chances or the likelihood of an event occuring in a pair of events.

Sally's paycheck this week was $100. She spent $220.45 for a shirt, $12.95 for a CD, $15 for gasoline, and put the balance in the bank.
a. What percent of her total pay was spent on the shirt?
b. What percent of her total pay did she put in the bank?

Answers

Answer:

A) 220.45%

B) 0%

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 220.45 / 100 = 2.2045 * 100 = 220.45%

B) Costs exceeded her paycheck, so 0% of her pay was leftover and put in the bank.

Answer: A) 22.045% , B) 75.16%

I guess its a typo and weekly salary was $1000

So weekly salary = 1000

Spent on shirt = $220.45

Spent on CD = $12.95

Spent on Gasoline = $15

A) 220.45/1000×100

= 22.045%

B) Total spent = 220.45 + 12.95 + 15

= $248.4

Total left with her = 1000 - 248.4

= $751.6

Total percent of pay she put in bank = 751.6/1000×100

= 75.16%

A planet rotates on an axis through its poles and 1 revolution takes 1 day 1 day is 24 hours. The distance from the axis to a location the planet 30 degrees north latitude is about 3387.5 miles.​ Therefore, a location on the planet at 30 degrees north latitude is spinning on a circle of radius 3387.5 miles.

Compute the linear speed on the surface of the planet at 30 degrees north latitude.

Answers

Answer:

The velocity is  [tex]v = 886.96 \ m/s[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The period of each revolution is  [tex]T = 1\ day = 24 \ hours[/tex]

    The angle  is [tex]\theta = 30^o[/tex]

     The radius is  [tex]r = 3387.5 \ miles[/tex]

Generally the linear speed is  mathematically represented as

        [tex]v = w * r[/tex]

Where  [tex]w[/tex] is the angular speed which is mathematically represented as

       [tex]w = \frac{2 \pi }{T}[/tex]

substituting values

       [tex]w = \frac{2 *3.142 }{24}[/tex]

        [tex]w = 0.2618 \ rad/s[/tex]

Thus  

         [tex]v = 0.261833 * 3387.5[/tex]

        [tex]v = 886.96 \ m/s[/tex]

A ladder 10 ft long leans against a vertical wall. If the lower end is being moved away from the wall at the rate of 6 ​ft/sec, how fast is the height of the top changing​ (this will be a negative​ rate) when the lower end is 6 feet from the​ wall?

Answers

Answer:

-4.5ft per sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that vertical wall has a distance of y and the horizontal floor is x (6 ft).

This forms a triangle with the ladder as the hypothenus of length 10ft

We have dy/dt = 6ft per sec

According to Pythagoras law the relationship between x and y is

(x^2) + (y^2) = (hypothenus ^2) = 10^2

When we differentiate both sides of the equation

2x(dx/dt) + 2y(dy/dt) = 0

dy/dt = (x/y) * (dx/dt)

y= √(10^2) - (6^2) = 8ft

So dy/dt = (6/8)* (6/1)= -4.5 ft per sec

It is a negative rate

Given log32≈0.631 and log37≈1.771, what is log314

Answers

Answer:

the log to the base 3 of 14 is 2.402

Step-by-step explanation:

You must find a way to indicate that 3 is the base; you cannot run this '3' together with 2, 7 or 14.

Example:  

log to the base 3 of 2 = 0.631

log to the base 3 of 7 = 1.771

Note that 2 times 7 is 14.  Thus, to obtain the log to the base 3 of 14, we must ADD the two logs shown above:

0.631

+1.771

----------

2.402

Thus, the log to the base 3 of 14 is 2.402.

11y+2 = 9y+3

2y=1

27y+61 = -27y+27

54y = -34

y = -34/54

34.5-5.1=34.5y-5.1

There are only two like terms in this expression "4x" and "2x." Since they are like terms we can combine them by adding the coefficients and keeping the variable attached. Therefore we can combine 4x and 2x into 6x. Since there are no more like terms, this expression can be simplified to 6x - 7y - 4.

How many miles had Train X traveled when it met Train Y?
(A) 37.5
(B) 40.0
(C) 60.0
(D) 62.5
(E) 77.5

Answers

Answer:

(A) 37.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The trains x and y are travelling on tracks starting simultaneously from a from opposite ends of 100 miles roads.

Translate these information into a simple represention to visualize the problem. (Picture below)

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

First let's calculate the velocity of both trains.

The velocity formula is:

● V = d/t

d is the distance travelled and t is the tile needed to do it.

● V(x) = 100/5 = 20 miles per hour

● V(y) = 100/3 = 33.33.. wich is approximatively 33 after rounding to the nearest unit.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

After calculateingboth velocities, Let's find when the trains meet.

First understand what does it mean matematically when both trains meet.

Go back to the representation and notice what happens when the trains meet.

Let t be that moment.

When x and y reches the meeting point at t, the sum of the distances they have travelled is equal to the total distance wich is 100 miles .

We khow that V = d/t so d = V×t

Let's find the expression of the distances both trains travelled when they have met each other.

● d = V(x) × t

● d' = V(y) × t

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

So the equation will be:

● V(x) × t + V(y) × t = 100

Factor using t

● t (V(x) + V(y) ) = 100

Replace V(x) and V(y) by their values

● t (20+33) = 100

● 53 t = 100

Divide both sides by 53

● 53t /53 = 100/53

● t = 1.88

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Replace t in the expression of the distance that train x has travelled when meeting y.

● d = V(x) × t

● d = 20 × 1.88

● d = 37.6 wich is approximatively 37.5 miles
