Alex : Hey Bob, I think this coin is biased; I flipped it a few times and it always lends Tail. I think p, the probability of landing Head, must be less than 5%. Can you take a look?
Bob: Seriously? I bet it's fair, that is I think p = 1/2. Let me flip it three times and count the number of Heads. If the number of Heads is smaller than some threshold t, then I will buy you dinner. Otherwise, you will buy me dinner.
Alex: Wow Bob, okay! I will go ahead and reserve a fancy restaurant.
Bob: One last thing, though, just to make things fair: pick any t you want, but let's keep the proba- bility that I buy you dinner even if I'm right (that is, even if the truth is p= 1/2) below 10% please.
Alex: Go away, Bob! Stop wasting my time!
Question: why did Alex get mad?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex finally understands how Bob was trying to trick him into winning the bet because of how he puts in the condition for probability being less than 10%. Whichever way the outcome of the coin toss turns out to be, it will be in Bob's favor and Alex will lose the bet. If the coin is flipped 3 times, the probability of having heads exactly twice is [tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the trigonometric equation by isolating the function and then taking the inverse. Use the period to find the full set of all solutions.

[tex]\theta = 135+180n[/tex]

[tex]n[/tex] is any integer value.

The value of [tex]n[/tex] cannot exceed 1 or be less than 0, because the value of [tex]\theta[/tex] must be between 0 and 360 degrees.

The pressure applied to a leverage bar varies inversely as the distance from the object. If 150 pounds is required for a distance of 10 inches from the object how much pressure is needed for a distance of 3 inches

Answers

Answer:

500 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the pressure applied to the leverage bar be represented by p

Let the distance from the object be represented by d.

The pressure applied to a leverage bar varies inversely as the distance from the object.

Written mathematically, we have:

[tex]p \propto \dfrac{1}{d}[/tex]

Introducing the constant of proportionality

[tex]p = \dfrac{k}{d}[/tex]

If 150 pounds is required for a distance of 10 inches from the object

p=150 poundsd=10 inches

[tex]150 = \dfrac{k}{10}\\\\k=1500[/tex]

Therefore, the relationship between p and d is:

[tex]p = \dfrac{1500}{d}[/tex]

When d=3 Inches

[tex]p = \dfrac{1500}{3}\\\implies p=500$ pounds[/tex]

The pressure applied when the distance is 3 inches is 500 pounds.

The grade point average collected from a random sample of 150 students. Assume that the population standard deviation is 0.78. Find the margin of error if cequals0.98.

Answers

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the margin of error, we can adopt this formula

Margin of error = critical value* (standard deviation/sqrt of sample size)

Where critical value is 2.33, sd is 0.78 and sample size is150.

Thus, we have:

Margin of error = 2.33*(0.78/√150)

Margin of error = 2.33*(0.78/12.2474)

Margin of error =2.33*0.06369

Margin of error = 0.1484 which is a 15% margin of error

Part of the proceeds from a garage sale was ​$440 worth of ​$10 and ​$20 bills. If there were 2 more ​$10 bills than ​$20 ​bills, find the number of each denomination.

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's set this up a system of equations where x represents the number of 10 dollar bills and y represents the number of 20 dollar bills.

10x+20y=440

x=y+2

We see that x has a value of y+2, so we can replace the x in the first equation with y+2 so we can solve for y.

10(y+2)+20y=440

We use distributive property to undo the parentheses.

10y+20+20y=440

We combine like terms.

30y+20=440

We subtract 20 from both sides.

30y=420

y=14

Since there are 2 more $10 bills, there would be 16 of those.

Therefore, there are 16 $10 bills and 14 $20 bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

r = 10

Let's create an equation,

[tex]3r = 10 + 5s[/tex]

plugging the value of r

[tex]3 \times 10 = 10 + 5s[/tex]

Multiply the numbers

[tex]30 = 10 + 5s[/tex]

Move 5s to L.H.S and change its sign

Similarly, Move 30 to R.H.S and change its sign.

[tex] - 5s = 10 - 30[/tex]

Calculate

[tex] - 5s = - 20[/tex]

The difference sign ( - ) should be cancelled on both sides

[tex]5s = 20[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

Answer:

A. 4 (on edgenuity)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the centroid of the quarter of the unit circle lying in the fourth quadrant.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

In the fourth quadrant, the equation of the unit circle is:

y = -√(1 − x²), 0 ≤ x ≤ 1

The x and y coordinates of the centroid are:

cₓ = (∫ x dA) / A = (∫ xy dx) / A

cᵧ = (∫ y dA) / A = (∫ ½ y² dx) / A

For a quarter circle in the fourth quadrant, A = -π/4.

Solving each integral:

∫₀¹ xy dx

= ∫₀¹ -x √(1 − x²) dx

= ½ ∫₀¹ -2x √(1 − x²) dx

If u = 1 − x², then du = -2x dx.

When x = 0, u = 1.  When x = 1, u = 0.

= ½ ∫₁⁰ √u du

= ½ ∫₁⁰ u^½ du

= ½ (⅔ u^³/₂) |₁⁰

= (⅓ u√u) |₁⁰

= 0 − ⅓

= -⅓

∫₀¹ ½ y² dx

= ½ ∫₀¹ (1 − x²) dx

= ½ (x − ⅓ x³) |₀¹

= ½ [(1 − ⅓) − (0 − 0)]

= ⅓

Therefore, the x and y coordinates of the centroid are:

cₓ = (-⅓) / (-π/4) = 4/(3π)

cᵧ = (⅓) / (-π/4) = -4/(3π)

At time, t=0, Billy puts 625 into an account paying 6% simple interest. At the end of year 2, George puts 400 into an account paying interest at a force of interest, δt=16+t for t≥2. If both accounts continue to earn interest indefinitely at the levels given above, the amounts in both accounts will be equal at the end of year n. Calculate n.

Answers

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

At time, t=0, Billy puts 625 into an account paying 6% simple interest

At the end of year 2, George puts 400 into an account paying interest at a force of interest, 1/(6+t), for all t ≥ 2.

If both accounts continue to earn interest indefinitely at the levels given above, the amounts in both accounts will be equal at the end of year n. Calculate n.

In order to calculate n;

Let K constant to be the value of time for both accounts

At  time, t=0, the value of time K when Billy puts 625 into an account paying 6% simple interest is:

[tex]K = 625 \times (1+ 0.06 K)[/tex]

[tex]K = 625 +37.5 K[/tex]

At year end 2; George  amount of 400 will grow at a force interest, then the value of  [tex]K = 400 \times e^{\int\limits^2_k {\dfrac{1}{6+t}} \, dx }[/tex]

[tex]K =400 \times \dfrac{6+K}{6+2}[/tex]

[tex]K =400 \times \dfrac{6+K}{8}[/tex]

[tex]K =50 \times ({6+K})[/tex]

[tex]K =300+50K[/tex]

Therefore:

If K = K

Then:

625 + 37.5 = 300 +50 K

625-300 = 50 K - 37.5 K

325 = 12.5K

K = 325/12.5

K = 26

the amounts in both accounts  at the end of year n = K = 26

A board 65 inches long is sawed into two pieces, so that one piece is 7 inches shorter than twice the length of the other piece ? Find the length of the two pieces .

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Total length of a board is 65 inches

It is sawed into two pieces such that one piece is 7 inches shorter than twice the length of the other piece.

Let x is the length of other piece and y is the length of first piece such that,

y = 2x-7 ....(1)

Also,

x+y = 65 .....(2)

Put the value of y from equation (1) to equation (2) such that,

x+2x-7 = 65

3x=65+7

3x=72

x = 24 inches

Put the value of x in equation (1)

y = 2(24)-7

y = 41 inches

So, the length of first piece is 41 inches while the length of other piece is 24 inches.

Katie wants to create a rectangular frame for a picture. She has 60 inches of material. If she wants the length to be 3 more than 2 times the width what is the largest possible length

Answers

Answer:

Largest possible length is 21 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total material available = 60 inches

Length to be 3 more than twice of width.

To find:

Largest possible length = ?

Solution:

As it is rectangular shaped frame.

Let length = [tex]l[/tex] inches and

Width = [tex]w[/tex] inches

As per given condition:

[tex]l = 2w+3[/tex] ..... (1)

Total frame available = 60 inches.

i.e. it will be the perimeter of the rectangle.

Formula for perimeter of rectangle is given as:

[tex]P = 2 \times (Width + Length)[/tex]

Putting the given values and conditions as per equation (1):

[tex]60 = 2 \times (w+ l)\\\Rightarrow 60 = 2 \times (w+ 2w+3)\\\Rightarrow 60 = 2 \times (3w+3)\\\Rightarrow 30 = 3w+3\\\Rightarrow 3w = 27\\\Rightarrow w = 9 \ inch[/tex]

Putting in equation (1):

[tex]l = 2\times 9+3\\\Rightarrow l = 21\ inch[/tex]

So, the answer is:

Largest possible length is 21 inches.

n rectangle ABCD, point E lies half way between sides AB and CD and halfway between sides AD and BC. If AB=11 and BC=2, what is the area of the shaded region? Write your answer as a decimal, if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

For the rectangle ABCD

AB= DC= 11

BC= AD= 2

Point E lies halfway between AB and CD

The shaded are forms two triangles, I'll refer to the upper triangle as "Triangle one" and the lower triangle will be "triangle 2"

The area of a triangle is calculated as

[tex]a= \frac{bh}{2}[/tex]

b= base

h= height

Triangle 1

b₁= AB= 11

[tex]h_1= \frac{BC}{2}= \frac{2}{2}= 1[/tex]

[tex]a_1= \frac{b_1h_1}{2}= \frac{11*1}{2}= 5.5[/tex]

Triangle 2

b₂= DC= 11

[tex]h_2= \frac{BC}{2}= \frac{2}{2} = 1[/tex]

[tex]a_2= \frac{b_2h_2}{2}= \frac{11*1}{2}= 5.5[/tex]

Now you add the areas of both triangles to get the area of the shaded region:

a₁ + a₂= 5.5 + 5.5= 11

Since point E is halfway to all sides of the rectangle, even tough it doesn't see so, the shaded area is equal to half the area of the rectangle:

area= bh= DC*AD= 11*2= 22

area/2= 22/12= 11

The mean number of words per minute (WPM) typed by a speed typist is 149149 with a standard deviation of 1414 WPM. What is the probability that the sample mean would be greater than 147.8147.8 WPM if 8888 speed typists are randomly selected

Answers

Answer:

The probability is  [tex]P(\= X > x ) = 0.78814[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are given that

     The population  mean is  [tex]\mu = 149[/tex]

     The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 14[/tex]

     The random number    [tex]x = 147.81[/tex]

      The sample  size is  [tex]n = 88[/tex]

The probability that  the sample mean would be greater than [tex]P(\= X > x ) = P( \frac{ \= x - \mu }{\sigma_{\= x} } > \frac{ x - \mu }{\sigma_{\= x} } )[/tex]

Generally the z- score of this normal distribution is mathematically represented as

       [tex]Z = \frac{ \= x - \mu }{\sigma_{\= x} }[/tex]

Now

        [tex]\sigma_{\= x } = \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

         [tex]\sigma_{\= x } = \frac{14 }{\sqrt{88} }[/tex]

         [tex]\sigma_{\= x } = 1.492[/tex]

Which implies that

         [tex]P(\= X > x ) = P( Z > \frac{ 147.81 - 149 }{ 1.492} )[/tex]

        [tex]P(\= X > x ) = P( Z > -0.80 )[/tex]

Now from the z-table  the  probability is  found to be

        [tex]P(\= X > x ) = 0.78814[/tex]
