Find the probability of each event. A gambler places a bet on a horse race. To win, he must pick the top three finishers in any order. Eight horses of equal ability are entered in the race. Assuming the horses finish in a random order, what is the probability that the gambler will win his bet?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{1}{56}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Total horses = 6

Number of ways to choose top 3 finishers in order = 3! = 6

Number ways to select 3 horses out of 8 in order = [tex]^8P_3[/tex]  [By permutations]

[tex]=\dfrac{8!}{(8-3)!}=\dfrac{8!}{5!}=8\times7\times6=336[/tex]

Now, the probability that the gambler will win his bet =

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Number of ways to choose top 3 finishers }}{\text{Number ways to select 3 horses out of 8 in order}}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{6}{336}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{56}[/tex]

Hence, the required probability =  [tex]\dfrac{1}{56}[/tex]

B. -3x

Step-by-step explanation:

A term is defined as either a constant or a variable with a coefficient.

-3 is incorrect because there is no constant -3 in the expression.

-3x is correct because there is a -3x in the expression

(x + 4) is incorrect because that is a linear binomial and has yet to be distributed.

-7 is incorrect because it has to be distributed.

In a four-digit number, the sum of the thousands and hundred digits is 3.
The tens digit is 4 times the hundreds digit.
The ones digit is seven more than the thousands digit.
No two digits are equal.
What is the four-digit number?

Answers

Answer:  2149

Step-by-step explanation:  If the sum of the first two digits is 3, the choices must be 1 and 2 (or 2 and 1)  In order to satisfy the other specifications, "the tens digit is 4 times the hundreds digit." the hundreds digit can't be 2 because that would make the tens dight 8.  and the ones digit would also have to 8 in order to satisfy the "seven more than the thousands digit" which would be a 1. And that violates the condition, "No two digits are equal."

So the only possible combination is 2149

4 is 4 times 1

Find the sum of the following infinite geometric series

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{\ \ \dfrac{63}{5} \ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

"Find the sum of the following infinite geometric series"

infinite

   We will have to find the limit of something when n tends to [tex]+\infty[/tex]

geometric series

   This is a good clue, meaning that each term of the series follows a geometric sequence. Let's check that.

The sum is something like

           [tex]\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{+\infty} a_k[/tex]

First of all, we need to find an expression for [tex]a_k[/tex]

First term is

   [tex]a_0=7[/tex]

Second term is

    [tex]a_1=\dfrac{4}{9}\cdot a_0=7*\boxed{\dfrac{4}{9}}=\dfrac{7*4}{9}=\dfrac{28}{9}[/tex]

Then

   [tex]a_2=\dfrac{4}{9}\cdot a_1=\dfrac{28}{9}*\boxed{\dfrac{4}{9}}=\dfrac{28*4}{9*9}=\dfrac{112}{81}[/tex]

and...

   [tex]a_3=\dfrac{4}{9}\cdot a_2=\dfrac{112}{81}*\boxed{\dfrac{4}{9}}=\dfrac{112*4}{9*81}=\dfrac{448}{729}[/tex]

Ok we are good, we can express any term for k integer

   [tex]a_k=a_0\cdot (\dfrac{4}{9})^k[/tex]

So, for n positive integer

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{n} a_k=\displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{n} 7\cdot (\dfrac{4}{9})^k=7\cdot \dfrac{1-(\dfrac{4}{9})^{n+1}}{1-\dfrac{4}{9}}=\dfrac{7*9*[1-(\dfrac{4}{9})^{n+1}]}{9-4}=\dfrac{63}{5}\cdot [1-(\dfrac{4}{9})^{n+1}}][/tex]

And the limit of that expression when n tends to [tex]+\infty[/tex] is

   [tex]\large \boxed{\ \ \dfrac{63}{5} \ \ }[/tex]

as

   [tex]\dfrac{4}{9}<1[/tex]

Hope this helps.

Hermina cut a 10'' by 15'' piece of cardboard down the diagonal. A rectangle is 10 inches wide and 15 inches long. A diagonal cut is shown with a line labeled c. The cut divides the rectangle in half and creates two right triangles. The hypotenuse of each right triangle is the line labeled c. What is the length c of the cut, in inches?

Answers

Answer:

18.03 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The cardboard is cut as shown below.

The line c cuts the rectangle into 2 right angled triangles.

To find the diagonal (hypotenuse), we have to apply Pythagoras Rule:

[tex]hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2\\\\=> c^2 = 10^2 + 15^2\\\\c^2 = 100 + 225 = 325\\\\[/tex]

=> c = 18.03" = 18.03 inches

The length of c, the diagonal, is 18.03 inches.

What must be true of a polynomial function f(x) if f(x) and f(-x) are the same polynomial b.What must be true of a polynomial function f(x) if f(x) and -f(-x) are the same polynomial

Answers

Answer:

1. a = -31/9

2. -3/4

3. Different degree polynomials

4. Yes, of a degree 2n

5. a. Even-degree variables

b. Odd- degree variables

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Suppose f(x) = x^4-2x^3+ax^2+x+3. If f(3) = 2, then what is a?

Plugging in 3 for x:

f(3)= 3^4 - 2*3^3 + a*3^2 + 3 + 3= 81 - 54 + 6 + 9a = 33 + 9a and f(3)= 2

9a+33= 29a= -31a = -31/9

------------

2. Let f, g, and h be polynomials such that h(x) = f(x) * g(x). If the constant term of f(x) is -4 and the constant term of h(x) is 3, what is g(0)?

f(0)= -4, h(0)= 3, g(0) = ?h(x)= f(x)*g(x)g(x)= h(x)/f(x)g(0) = h(0)/f(0) = 3/-4= -3/4g(0)= -3/4

------------

3. Suppose the polynomials f and g are both monic polynomials. If the sum f(x) + g(x) is also monic, what can we deduce about the degrees of f and g?

A monic polynomial is a single-variable polynomial in which the leading coefficient is equal to 1.

If the sum of monic polynomials f(x) + g(x) is also monic, then f(x) and g(x) are of different degree and their sum only change the one with the lower degree, leaving the higher degree variable unchanged.

------------

4. If f(x) is a polynomial, is f(x^2) also a polynomial?

If f(x) is a polynomial of degree n, then f(x^2) is a polynomial of degree 2n

------------

5. Consider the polynomial function g(x) = x^4-3x^2+9

a. What must be true of a polynomial function f(x) if f(x) and f(-x) are the same polynomial?

If f(x) and f(-x) are same polynomials, then they have even-degree variables.

b.What must be true of a polynomial function f(x) if f(x) and -f(-x) are the same polynomial?

If f(x) and -f(-x) are the same polynomials, then they have odd-degree variables.

A line has a slope of $-\frac{3}{7},$ and its $y$-intercept is $(0,18)$. What is its $x$-intercept?

Answers

Answer:

(42, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the slope and y-intercept we can write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form which is y = mx + b; therefore, the equation is y = -3/7x + 18. To find the x-intercept, we just plug in y = 0 which becomes:

0 = -3/7x + 18

-18 = -3/7x

x = 42

[tex]\text{In order to find your x intercept, plug in 0 to y and solve:}\\\\0=-\frac{3}{7}x+18\\\\\text{Subtract 18 from both sides}\\\\-18=-\frac{3}{7}x\\\\\text{Multiply both sides by 7}\\\\-126=-3x\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 3}\\\\42 = x\\\\\text{This means that the x-intercept is (42,0)}\\\\\boxed{\text{x-intercept: (42,0)}}[/tex]

Answer:

-8 i + 19 j , 105.07°

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

- Define two unit vectors ( i and j ) along x-axis and y-axis respectively.

- To draw vectors ( v and w ). We will move along x and y axes corresponding to the magnitudes of unit vectors ( i and j ) relative to the origin.

  Vector: v = 2i + 5j

Mark a dot or cross at the originMove along x-axis by 2 units to the right ( 2i )Move along y-axis by 5 units up ( 5j )Mark the point.Connect the origin with the marked point determined aboveMake an arrow-head at the determined pointLies in first quadrant

     

Vector: w = 4i - 3j

Mark a dot or cross at the originMove along x-axis by 4 units to the right ( 4i )Move along y-axis by 3 units down ( -3j )Mark the point.Connect the origin with the marked point determined aboveMake an arrow-head at the determined pointLies in 4th quadrant

- The algebraic manipulation of complex numbers is done by performing operations on the like unit vectors.

                      [tex]2*v - 3*w = 2* ( 2i + 5j ) - 3*(4i - 3j )\\\\2*v - 3*w = ( 4i + 10j ) + ( -12i + 9j )\\\\2*v - 3*w = ( 4 - 12 ) i + ( 10 + 9 ) j\\\\2*v - 3*w = ( -8 ) i + ( 19 ) j\\[/tex]

- To determine the angle ( θ ) between two vectors ( v and w ). We will use the " dot product" formulation as follows:

                     v . w = | v | * | w | * cos ( θ )

                     v . w = < 2 , 5 > . < 4 , -3 > = 8 - 15 = -7

                     [tex]| v | = \sqrt{2^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{29} \\\\| w | = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = 5\\\\[/tex]

- Plug the respective values into the dot-product formulation:

                     cos ( θ ) = [tex]\frac{-7}{5\sqrt{29} }[/tex]

                      θ = 105.07°

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 14.56231 cm

b(width) = 9 cm

a+b = 23.56231 cm

A(area) = 343.1215 cm

Sorry if this doesnt help

Answer:

length = [9/2 + (9/2)sqrt(5)] cm

length = 14.56 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In a golden rectangle, the width is a and the length is a + b.

The proportion of the lengths of the sides is:

(a + b)/a = a/b

Here, the width is 9 cm, so we have a = 9 cm.

(9 + b)/9 = 9/b

(9 + b)b = 81

b^2 + 9b - 81 = 0

b = (-9 +/- sqrt(9^2 - 4(1)(-81))/(2*1)

b = (-9 +/- sqrt(81 + 324)/2

b = (-9 +/- sqrt(405)/2

b = -9/2 +/- 9sqrt(5)/2

Length = a + b = 9 - 9/2 +/- 9sqrt(5)/2

Length = a + b = 9/2 +/- 9sqrt(5)/2

Since the length of a side of a rectangle cannot be negative, we discard the negative answer.

length = [9/2 + (9/2)sqrt(5)] cm

length = 14.56 cm

Answers

Answer:

(a) The probability that the sample mean will be more than 61 pounds is 0.0069.

(b) The probability that the sample mean will be more than 57 pounds is 0.4522.

(c) The probability that the sample mean will be between 55 and 58 pounds is 0.6112.

(d) The probability that the sample mean will be less than 55 pounds is 0.14686.

(e) The probability that the sample mean will be less than 48 pounds is 0.00001.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the Aluminum Association reports that the average American uses 56.8 pounds of aluminum in a year.

A random sample of 51 households is monitored for one year to determine aluminum usage. Also, the population standard deviation of annual usage is 12.2 pounds.

Let [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean

The z-score probability distribution for the sample mean is given by;

                             Z  =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = average aluminum used by American = 56.8 pounds

           [tex]\sigma[/tex] = population standard deviation = 12.2 pounds

           n = sample of households = 51

(a) The probability that the sample mean will be more than 61 pounds is given by = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > 61 pounds)

   

   P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > 61 pounds) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] > [tex]\frac{61-56.8}{\frac{12.2}{\sqrt{51} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z > 2.46) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 2.46)

                                                               = 1 - 0.9931 = 0.0069

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.46 in the z table which has an area of 0.9931.

(b) The probability that the sample mean will be more than 57 pounds is given by = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > 57 pounds)

   

   P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > 57 pounds) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] > [tex]\frac{57-56.8}{\frac{12.2}{\sqrt{51} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z > 0.12) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 0.12)

                                                               = 1 - 0.5478 = 0.4522

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.12 in the z table which has an area of 0.5478.

(c) The probability that the sample mean will be between 55 and 58 pounds is given by = P(55 pounds < [tex]\bar X[/tex] < 58 pounds)

P(55 pounds < [tex]\bar X[/tex] < 58 pounds) = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 58 pounds) - P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 55 pounds)    

 

   P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 58 pounds) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\frac{58-56.8}{\frac{12.2}{\sqrt{51} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z < 0.70) = 0.75804

   P([tex]\bar X[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 55 pounds) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\frac{55-56.8}{\frac{12.2}{\sqrt{51} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] -1.05) = 1 - P(Z < 1.05)

                                                               = 1 - 0.85314 = 0.14686

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.70 and x = 1.05 in the z table which has an area of 0.75804 and 0.85314.

Therefore, P(55 pounds < [tex]\bar X[/tex] < 58 pounds) = 0.75804 - 0.14686 = 0.6112.

(d) The probability that the sample mean will be less than 55 pounds is given by = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 55 pounds)

   

   P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 55 pounds) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\frac{55-56.8}{\frac{12.2}{\sqrt{51} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z < -1.05) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.05)

                                                               = 1 - 0.85314 = 0.14686

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.05 in the z table which has an area of 0.85314.

(e) The probability that the sample mean will be less than 48 pounds is given by = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 48 pounds)

   

   P([tex]\bar X[/tex] < 48 pounds) = P( [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\frac{48-56.8}{\frac{12.2}{\sqrt{51} } }[/tex] ) = P(Z < -5.15) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 5.15)

                                                               = 1 - 0.99999 = 0.00001

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 5.15 in the z table which has an area of 0.99999.

Find the 5th term of the sequence defined by the give rule. f(n) = n²+ 5. A step by step explanation with answer would be greatly helpful.

Answers

Answer:

The 5th term is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the formula

f(n) = n² + 5

where n is the number of terms

So from the question we were told to find the 5th term that's

n = 5

In order to find the 5th term substitute the value of n that's 5 into the rule

We have

f(5) = 5² + 5

= 25 + 5

= 30

f(5) = 30

So the 5th term of the sequence in the given rule is 30

A family dines in a popular franchise restaurant. At the end of the meal, they decide to leave their server a monetary tip that is equal to 20% of the total bill amount, $60.50. How much will the family leave their server as a tip?

Answers

Answer:

$12.10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to set up a proportion to find what 20% of $60.50, or 60.5, is. On one side of the proportion you have 20/100 to represent the percent, anytime you have a percent it will always go over 100. On the other side you'll have x/60.5 because you are trying to find a value out of 60.5. This gives you the proportion 20/100=x/60.5. In order to solve this you have to cross multiply using the equation 20(60.5)=100x. First, you multiply to get 1210=100x, then divide both sides by 100 to get 12.1=x. In order for this to represent money, we add a zero on the end. This means that 20% of $60.50 is $12.10, so $12.10 is the tip.

A sample of 13 small bags of the same brand of candies was selected. Assume that the population distribution of bag weights is normal. The weight of each bag was then recorded. The mean weight was 3 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.15 ounces. The population standard deviation is known to be 0.1 ounce.Required:a. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the population mean weight of the candies.b. State the confidence interval. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)c. Draw the Graph

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean (μ) = 3 ounces. standard deviation (σ) = 0.15, sample size (n) = 13 and confidence (C) = 98%

α = 1 - C = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02

α/2 = 0.02/2 = 0.01.

The z score of 0.01 (α/2) corresponds to the z score of 0.49 (0.5 - 0.01) which from the normal distribution table is 2.33.

The margin of error (E) is:

[tex]E=z_{0.01}*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } = 2.33*\frac{0.15}{\sqrt{13} }=0.1\\[/tex]

The confidence interval = μ ± E = 3 ± 0.1 = (2.9, 3.1)

The confidence interval is between 2.9 ounce and 3.1 ounce

Which of the following best describes an unpredictable event?​

Answers

Answer:

B. The weather on a particular day a year from now

Step-by-step explanation:

We can only predict the weather in the near future, not long term or all time. The rest of the answer choices are predictable. We will always know the age of a person 10 years from now, we can predict the rating of the movie if we preview and watch it, and if a student studies enough/not enough we can predict the type of grade they will get on a test.

I believe the answer is B since to find the age of a person ten years from now, just add their age by ten. You can predict the rating of an upcoming movie by watching the trailer and seeing if it is good or bad. You can predict the grade a student gets on a test if you know that person is smart or not. You can’t predict weather from a year in the future because anything could happen in a year. This is why I think the answer is B.

use what you know about zeros of a function and end behavior of a graph that matches the function f(x) = (x+3)(x+2)(x-1)​

Answers

Answer:

The zeros are x=-3,-2,1

end behavior is one up one down

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros are x=-3,-2,1

The end behaviors are one up one down because the function is of degree 3 meaning it is odd function and has opposite end directions.

Using traditional methods, it takes 9.5 hours to receive a basic flying license. A new license training method using Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique with 15 students and observed that they had a mean of 10.0 hours with a standard deviation of 1.6. A level of significance of 0.1 will be used to determine if the technique performs differently than the traditional method. Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis: u = 9.5hrs

Alternative: u =/ 9.5hrs

Using the t test

t = x-u/sd/√n

Where x is 10hrs, u is 9.5, sd is 1.6 and n is 15

t = 10-9.5 / (1.6/√15)

t = 0.5 / (0.4131)

t = 1.21

In order to make a conclusion, we have to find the p value at a significance level lot 0.1. The p value is 0.2263 which is greater than 0.1. This, we will fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is not enough statistical evidence to prove that the technique performs differently than the traditional method.

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Well let’s make a fraction 2/40.

So we have to simplify it to 1/20.

And we do 1 / 20.

So 1 / 20 is .05.

To make this a percent we put the seminal place 2 places to the right.

So the percent is 5%.

A cylinder with a base diameter of x units has a volume

The radius of the cylinder is 2x units.
The area of the cylinder's base is 2-ox? square units.
The area of the cylinder's base is nexsquare units.
The height of the cylinder is 2x units.
The height of the cylinder is 4x units.

Answers

Answer:

(C) The area of the cylinder's base is [tex]\dfrac{1}{4} \pi x^2[/tex] square units.

(E)The height of the cylinder is 4x units.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the Base Diameter = x

Therefore: Base radius = x/2

Area of the Base

[tex]=\pi (x/2)^2\\=\dfrac{ \pi x^2}{4} $ square units[/tex]

Next, we know that:

The volume of a cylinder = Base Area X Height

[tex]\pi x^3=\dfrac{ \pi x^2}{4} \times Height\\Height =\pi x^3 \div \dfrac{ \pi x^2}{4}\\=\pi x^3 \times \dfrac{ 4}{\pi x^2}\\\\Height=4x$ units[/tex]

Therefore, the correct options are: C and E.
