Answer:
x = 8.9 units
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use the theorem of intersecting tangent and secant segments.
"If secant and tangent are drawn to a circle from an external point, the product of lengths of the secant and its external segment will equal the square of the length of tangent."
8(8 + 2) = x²
x² = 80
x = √80
x = 8.944
x ≈ 8.9 units
Therefore, length of the tangent = 8.9 units

Answers
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{x = 9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
m = -1/3
b = 7
And y = 4 (Given)
Putting all of the givens in [tex]y = mx+b[/tex] to solve for x
=> 4 = (-1/3) x + 7
Subtracting 7 to both sides
=> 4-7 = (-1/3) x
=> -3 = (-1/3) x
Multiplying both sides by -3
=> -3 * -3 = x
=> 9 = x
OR
=> x = 9
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
m = -1/3
b = 7
Using slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
m is slope, b is y-intercept.
y = -1/3x + 7
Solve for x:
Plug y as 4
4 = 1/3x + 7
Subtract 7 on both sides.
-3 = -1/3x
Multiply both sides by -3.
9 = x

Step-by-step explanation:
Historically, the proportion of students entering a university who finished in 4 years or less was 63%. To test whether this proportion has decreased, 114 students were examined and 51% had finished in 4 years or less. To determine whether the proportion of students who finish in 4 year or less has statistically significantly decreased (at the 5% level of signficance), what is the critical value
Answers
Answer:
z(c) = - 1,64
We reject the null hypothesis
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve a proportion test ( one tail-test ) left test
Normal distribution
p₀ = 63 %
proportion size p = 51 %
sample size n = 114
At 5% level of significance α = 0,05, and with this value we find in z- table z score of z(c) = 1,64 ( critical value )
Test of proportion:
H₀ Null Hypothesis p = p₀
Hₐ Alternate Hypothesis p < p₀
We now compute z(s) as:
z(s) = ( p - p₀ ) / √ p₀q₀/n
z(s) =( 0,51 - 0,63) / √0,63*0,37/114
z(s) = - 0,12 / 0,045
z(s) = - 2,66
We compare z(s) and z(c)
z(s) < z(c) - 2,66 < -1,64
Therefore as z(s) < z(c) z(s) is in the rejection zone we reject the null hypothesis
Luke is organising a camping trip for the youth club. He is looking at the temperature and rainfall charts for Brighton and Newquay. What is the probability of it raining in July in Brighton? Give your answer as a fraction.
Answers
Answer:
The answer is 15.6/31 or 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The data in the question is sufficient to find an answer for it.
1. I look at the temperature and rainfall chart for Brighton, United Kingdom.
2. Check for rainy season and dry season.
3. The rainy season lasts approximately 5 months while the dry season (which still has some rainfall) lasts approximately 7 months. All together, 12 months of the calendar year.
4. July happens to fall within the dry season. The temperature and rainfall statistics are observed.
The number of rainfall days is 15.6 and we know there are 31 days in July.
If the approximate number of days it rains in Brighton, in July, is 15.6 then the probability of rainfall in the month is 15.6/31 which is = 0.503 or 0.5
Therefore, there's a 50% chance of having rainfall in Brighton, on any day in the month of July.
In fraction, 0.5 = 1/2

You are selling your product at a three-day event. Each day, there is a 60% chance that you will make money. What is the probability that you will make money on the first two days and lose money on the third day
Answers
Answer:
The required probability = 0.144
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the probability of making money is 60%, then the probability of losing money will be 100-60% = 40%
Now the probability we want to calculate is the probability of making money in the first two days and losing money on the third day.
That would be;
P(making money) * P(making money) * P(losing money)
Kindly recollect;
P(making money) = 60% = 60/100 = 0.6
P(losing money) = 40% = 40/100 = 0.4
The probability we want to calculate is thus;
0.6 * 0.6 * 0.4 = 0.144

Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The equation:
[tex]y= -4x + \dfrac{2}3[/tex]
To find:
The standard form of given equation and find A, B and C.
Solution:
First of all, let us write the standard form of an equation.
Standard form of an equation is represented as:
[tex]Ax+By+C=0[/tex]
A is the coefficient of x and can be positive or negative.
B is the coefficient of y and can be positive or negative.
C can also be positive or negative.
Now, let us consider the given equation:
[tex]y= -4x + \dfrac{2}3[/tex]
Multiplying the whole equation with 3 first:
[tex]3 \times y= 3 \times -4x + 3 \times \dfrac{2}3\\\Rightarrow 3y=-12x+2[/tex]
Now, let us take all the terms on one side:
[tex]\Rightarrow 3y+12x-2=0\\\Rightarrow 12x+3y-2=0[/tex]
Now, let us compare with [tex]Ax+By+C=0[/tex].
So, A = 12, B = 3 and C = -2

3
3 1/2
Answers
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
let's call X the length of the bedroom, Y the wide of the bedroom, A the length of the living room and B the wide of the living room
A living room is two times as long as the bedroom, so:
A = 2X
A living room is one and one-half times as wide as a bedroom, so:
B = 1.5Y
The amount of carpet needed for the living room is A*B and the amount of carpet needed by the bedroom is X*Y
So, AB in terms of XY is:
A*B = (2X)*(1.5Y) = 3(X*Y)
It means that the amount of c arpet needed for the living room is 3 times greater than the amount of carpet needed for the bedroom.

D. 4 real roots and 0 complex roots
Step-by-step explanation:
If I assume that the function you are saying is
[tex]F(x)=x^4+x^3-5x^2+x-6[/tex]
There should be up to "4 roots," there can't be more or less than 4 total solutions. First, we need to check how many sign changes are there in this function. There are 3 positive real roots. Now lets check for negative roots.
[tex]F(-x)=x^4-x^3-5x^2-x-6[/tex]
There are is only 1 negative real root. Since we basically have 4 real roots, and the max is 4. There should be 4 real roots and 0 complex roots.

D. 3.747
E. 2.069
F. 2.453
Step-by-step explanation:
A. 95% confidence level, the level of significance = 5% or 0.05
Using t-table, the critical value for a lower or an upper confidence bound at 0.05 significance level with 10 degrees of freedom = 1.182
B. 95% confidence interval = 0.05 level of significance
Using t-table, the critical value for a lower or an upper confidence bound at 0.05 significance level with 15 degrees of freedom = 1.753
C. 99% confidence interval = 0.01 level of significance
Using t-table, the critical value for a lower or an upper confidence bound at 0.01 significance level with 15 degrees of freedom = 2.602
D. 99% confidence interval = 0.01 level of significance; DF (n - 1) = 5- 1 = 4
Using t-table, the critical value for a lower or an upper confidence bound at 0.01 significance level with 4 degrees of freedom = 3.747
E. 98% confidence interval = 0.02 level of significance
Using t-table, the critical value for a lower or an upper confidence bound at 0.02 significance level with 23 degrees of freedom = 2.069
F. 99% confidence interval = 0.01 level of significance; df (n - 1) = 32 - 1 = 31
Using t-table, the critical value for a lower or an upper confidence bound at 0.01 significance level with 31 degrees of freedom = 2.453

the mean monthly income of trainees at a local mill is 1100 with a standard deviation of 150. find rthe probability that a trainee earns less than 900 a month g
Answers
Answer:
The probability is [tex]P(X < 900 ) = 0.0918[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = 1100[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 150[/tex]
The random number value is x =900
The probability that a trainee earn less than 900 a month is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X < x) = P(\frac{X -\= x}{\sigma} < \frac{x -\= x}{\sigma} )[/tex]
Generally the z-value for the normal distribution is mathematically represented as
[tex]z = \frac{x -\mu }{\sigma }[/tex]
So From above we have
[tex]P(X < 900 ) = P(Z < \frac{900 -1100}{150} )[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 900 ) = P( Z <-1.33)[/tex]
Now from the z-table
[tex]P(X < 900 ) = 0.0918[/tex]

Mia agreed to borrow a 3 year loan with 4 percent interest to buy a motorcycle if Mia will pay a total of $444 in interest how much money did she borrow how much interest would Mia pay if the simple interest rate was 5 percent
Answers
Answer:
a) $3700
b) $555
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the loan is 3 years.
The interest after 3 years is $444.
The rate of the Simple Interest is 4%.
Simple Interest is given as:
I = (P * R * T) / 100
where P = principal (amount borrowed)
R = rate
T = length of years
Therefore:
[tex]444 = (P * 3 * 4) / 100\\\\444 = 12P / 100\\\\12P = 444 * 100\\\\12P = 44400\\\\P = 44400 / 12\\[/tex]
P = $3700
She borrowed $3700
b) If the simple interest was 5%, then:
I = (3700 * 5 * 3) / 100 = $555
The interest would be $555.
Find the area of the surface given by z = f(x, y) that lies above the region R. f(x, y) = 64 + x2 − y2 R = {(x, y): x2 + y2 ≤ 64}
Answers
The area of the surface above the region R is 4096π square units.
Given that:
The function: [tex]f(x, y) = 64 + x^2 - y^2[/tex]
The region R is the disk with a radius of 8 units [tex]x^2 + y^2 \le 64[/tex].
To find the area of the surface given by z = f(x, y) that lies above the region R, to calculate the double integral over the region R of the function f(x, y) with respect to dA.
The integral for the area is given by:
[tex]Area = \int\int_R f(x, y) dA[/tex]
To evaluate this integral, we need to set up the limits of integration for x and y over the region R, which is the disk cantered at the origin with a radius of 8 units.
Using polar coordinates, we can parameterize the region R as follows:
x = rcos(θ)
y = rsin(θ)
where r goes from 0 to 8, and θ goes from 0 to 2π.
Now, rewrite the integral in polar coordinates:
[tex]Area =\int\int_R f(x, y) dA\\Area = \int_0 ^{2\pi} \int_0^8(64 + r^2cos^2(\theta) - r^2sin^2(\theta)) \times r dr d \theta[/tex]
Now, we can integrate with respect to r first and then with respect to θ:
[tex]Area = \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^8] (64r + r^3cos^2(\theta) - r^3sin^2(\theta)) dr d \theta[/tex]
Integrate with respect to r:
[tex]Area = \int_0^{2\pi}[(32r^2 + (1/4)r^4cos^2(\theta) - (1/4)r^4sin^2(\theta))]_0^8 d \theta\\Area = \int_0^{2\pi} (2048 + 256cos^2(\theta) - 256sin^2(\theta)) d \theta[/tex]
Now, we can integrate with respect to θ:
[tex]Area = [2048\theta + 128(sin(2\theta) + \theta)]_0 ^{2\pi}[/tex]
Area = 2048(2π) + 128(sin(4π) + 2π) - (2048(0) + 128(sin(0) + 0))
Area = 4096π + 128(0) - 0
Area = 4096π square units
So, the area of the surface above the region R is 4096π square units.

Scores made on a certain aptitude test by nursing students are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a variance of 10,000. If a person is about to take the test what is the probability that he or she will make a score of 650 or more?
Answers
Answer:
0.0668 or 6.68%
Step-by-step explanation:
Variance (V) = 10,000
Standard deviation (σ) = √V= 100
Mean score (μ) = 500
The z-score for any test score X is:
[tex]z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
For X = 650:
[tex]z=\frac{650-500}{100}\\z=1.5[/tex]
A z-score of 1.5 is equivalent to the 93.32nd percentile of a normal distribution. Therefore, the probability that he or she will make a score of 650 or more is:
[tex]P(X\geq 650)=1-P(X\leq 650)\\P(X\geq 650)=1-0.9332\\P(X\geq 650)=0.0668=6.68\%[/tex]
The probability is 0.0668 or 6.68%
The probability that he or she will make a score of 650 or more is 0.0668.
Let X = Scores made on a certain aptitude test by nursing students
X follows normal distribution with mean = 500 and variance of 10,000.
So, standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{10000}=100[/tex].
z score of 650 is = [tex]\frac{\left(650-500\right)}{100}=1.5[/tex].
The probability that he or she will make a score of 650 or more is:
[tex]P(X\geq 650)\\=P(z\geq 1.5)\\=1-P(z<1.5)\\=1-0.9332\\=0.0668[/tex]

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, -8) and (4,6).
Answers
Answer:
slope = 2Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of a slope:
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
We have
[tex](-3;\ -8)\to x_1=-3;\ y_1=-8\\(4;\ 6)\to x_2=4;\ y_2=6[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]m=\dfrac{6-(-8)}{4-(-3)}=\dfrac{6+8}{4+3}=\dfrac{14}{7}=2[/tex]
The formula for the slope m of the line that passes through two points [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2, y_2)[/tex] is the following:
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}[/tex]
We have points (4,6) and (-3,-8). Let's plug these values into the formula for slope:
[tex]m=\dfrac{6-(-8)}{4-(-3)}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{14}{7}=2[/tex]
The slope of the line passing through the two points is 2. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
