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

Find the probability of each event. A six-sided die is rolled seven times. What is the probability that the die will show an even number at most five times?
Answer:
[tex]\dfrac{15}{16}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
When a six sided die is rolled, the possible outcomes can be:
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Even numbers are {2, 4, 6}
Odd Numbers are {1, 3, 5}
Probability of even numbers:
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Favorable cases}}{\text{Total cases }} = \dfrac{3}{6} = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
This is binomial distribution.
where probability of even numbers, [tex]p =\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Probability of not getting even numbers (Getting odd numbers) [tex]q =\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Probability of getting r successes out of n trials:
[tex]P(r) = _nC_r\times p^r q^{n-r}[/tex]
Probability of getting even numbers at most 5 times out of 7 is given as:
P(0) + P(1) +P(2) + P(3) +P(4) + P(5)
[tex]\Rightarrow _7C_0\times \frac{1}{2}^0 \frac{1}{2}^{7}+_7C_1\times \frac{1}{2}^1 \frac{1}{2}^{6}+_7C_2\times \frac{1}{2}^2 \frac{1}{2}^{5}+_7C_3\times \frac{1}{2}^3 \frac{1}{2}^{4}+_7C_4\times \frac{1}{2}^4 \frac{1}{2}^{3}+_7C_5\times \frac{1}{2}^5 \frac{1}{2}^{2}[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow (\dfrac{1}{2})^7 (_7C_0+_7C_1+_7C_2+_7C_3+_7C_4+_7C_5)\\[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow (\dfrac{1}{2})^7 (1+7+\dfrac{7 \times 6}{2}+\dfrac{7 \times 6 \times 5}{3\times 2}+\dfrac{7 \times 6 \times 5}{3\times 2}+\dfrac{7 \times 6}{2})\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{120}{128} \\\Rightarrow \dfrac{15}{16}[/tex]
Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, -8) and (4,6).
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!
The amount of time to complete a physical activity in a PE class is approximately normally normally distributed with a mean of 32.9 seconds and a standard deviation of 6.4 seconds.
A) What is the probability that a randomly chosen student completes the activity in less than 33.2 seconds?
B) What is the probability that a randomly chosen student completes the activity in more than 46.6 seconds?
C) What proportion of students take between 35.5 and 42.8 seconds to complete the activity?
D) 75% of all students finish the activity in less than____seconds.
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that mean (μ) of 32.9 seconds and a standard deviation (σ) of 6.4 seconds.
The z score is used to measure by how many standard deviation the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\[/tex]
a) For x < 33.2 seconds
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{33.2-32.9}{6.4} =0.05[/tex]
From the normal distribution table, the probability that a randomly chosen student completes the activity in less than 33.2 seconds = P(x < 33.2) = P(z < 0.05) = 0.5199 = 51.99%
b) For x > 46.6 seconds
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{46.6-32.9}{6.4} =2.14[/tex]
From the normal distribution table, the probability that a randomly chosen student completes the activity in more than 46.6 seconds = P(x > 46.6) = P(z > 2.14) = 1 - P(z < 2.14) = 1 - 0.9927 = 0.0073 = 0.73%
c) For x = 35.5 seconds
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{35.5-32.9}{6.4} =0.41[/tex]
For x = 42.8 seconds
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{42.8-32.9}{6.4} =1.55[/tex]
From the normal distribution table, the proportion of students take between 35.5 and 42.8 seconds to complete the activity = P(35.5 < x < 42.8) = P(0.41< z< 1.55) = P(z < 1.55) - P(z < 0.41) = 0.9332 - 0.6591 = 0.2741 = 27.41%
d) A probability of 75% = 0.75 corresponds to a z score of 0.68
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\0.68=\frac{x-32.9}{6.4} \\\\x-32.9=4.4\\x=4.4+32.9\\x=37.3[/tex]
75% of all students finish the activity in less than 37.3 seconds

Answer:
5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of marbles in the bag
6red+ 4blue + 14 yellow = 24 marbles
Not yellow marbles = 10 marbles
P ( not yellow ) = number of not yellow marbles / total marbles
=10/24
= 5/12
Answer:
5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
6 red marbles
4 blue marbles
14 yellow marbles
total marbles = 6 + 4 + 14 = 24 marbles
24 - 14 = 10 marbles
10 marbles are not yellow.
P(not yellow) = 10/24 = 5/12
Could someone answer the question with the photo linked below? Then explain how to solve it?
Answer:
b = sqrt(57)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
8^2 + b^2 = 11^2
64+ b^2 = 121
Subtract 64
b^2 = 121-64
b^2 =57
Take the square root of each side
b = sqrt(57)
How many real roots and how many complex roots exist for the polynomial
F(x) - X4+ x2 - 5x2 + x -- 6?
O A. 2 real roots and 2 complex roots
B. O real roots and 4 complex roots
O c. 3 real roots and 1 complex root
D. 4 real roots and 0 complex roots
Answer:
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.

Hi I need this question please asap.
which of the following descriptions represent the transformation shown in the image? Part 1d
Answer:
(C) Translation of 2 units right, 1 up, and a reflection over the y-axis.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ideally, we are looking for a reflection of the red image over the y-axis, and to do that, we can see how we need to move the black image.
In order for points Q and Q' to be a reflection of each other, they need to have the same y value, and be the exact same distance from the y axis, so the point that Q has to be at is (-1,-3).
Q is right now at (-3,-4) so we can translate this.
To get from -3 to -1 in the x-axis, we go right by 2 units.
To get from -4 to -3 in the y-axis, we go up one unit.
Now, if we reflect it, the triangles will be the same.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you study the images, it is clear that the black triangle has to be reflected over the y-axis to face the same direction as the red triangle. So, choice A is eliminated.
Once you reflect the black triangle across the y-axis, you have points at (-1, -1), (3, -4), and (3, -2). Meanwhile, the red triangle's coordinates are at (-3, 0), (1, -3), and (1, -1). From these points, you can tell that the x-values differ by 2 units and the y-values differ by 1 unit.
All of these conditions match the ones put forth in option C, so that is your answer.
Hope this helps!

The selling price of a car is $15,000. Each year, it loses 12% of its value.
Which function gives the value of the cart years after its purchase?
Select the correct answer below:
f(t) = 15,000(0.12)
f(t) = 15,000(1.12)
f(t) = 15,000(1.88)
f(t) = 15,000(0.88)
f(t) = 15,000 – (0.12)
Answer:
f(t) = 15,000(0.88)Step-by-step explanation:
Applying the formula for the car deprecation we have
[tex]f(t)=P(1-\frac{r}{100} )^n[/tex]
Where,
A is the value of the car after n years,
P is the purchase amount,
R is the percentage rate of depreciation per annum,
n is the number of years after the purchase.
1. The depreciated value of the car after 1 yr is
n=1
[tex]f(t)= 15000(1-\frac{12}{100} )^1\\\f(t)= 15000(1-0.12 )\\\f(t)= 15000(0.88)[/tex]
Determine the t critical value for a lower or an upper confidence bound in each of the following situations. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
a. Confidence level = 95%, df = 10
b. Confidence level = 95%, df = 15
c. Confidence level = 99%, df = 15
d. Confidence level = 99%, n = 5
e. Confidence level = 98%, df = 23
f. Confidence level = 99%, n = 32
Answer:
A. 1.812
B. 1.753
C. 2.602
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

Answer
4Step-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
[tex] \frac{5s}{2} = \frac{20}{5} [/tex]
Calculate
[tex]s = 4[/tex]
The value of s is 4.

Which linear inequality is represented by the graph?
Answer:
A. y ≤ 1/2x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Well look at the graph,
It is a solid line with it shaded down,
meaning it is y ≤,
So we can cross out B. and D.
So the y intercept is 2, we know this because the y intercept is the point on the line that touches the y axis.
now the slope can be found by seeing how far away each points are from each other,
Hence, the answer is A. y ≤ 1/2x + 2
which values will only have one zero??
If it has a single zero that means it has to be just touching the x-axis with its tip.
We know that if it has only one zero, the discriminant equals 0.
So,

What is Quadratic Equation?
A quadratic equation is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable x , ax²+ bx + c = 0. with a ≠ 0. Because it is a second-order polynomial equation, the fundamental theorem of algebra guarantees that it has at least one solution. The solution may be real or complex.
Given data ,
The polynomial function is of second degree with zeros of -7 and 6
So , x = -7 and x = 6
Let the function be f ( x ) where f ( x ) = ( x + 7 ) ( x - 6 )
Now , as x tends to infinity , the negative makes no such difference on the zeros of the function f ( x ) ,
And , f ( x ) = - ( x + 7 ) ( x - 6 )
Therefore , to find the polynomial function , f ( x ) = - ( x + 7 ) ( x - 6 )
f ( x ) = - [ x² - 6 x + 7 x - 42 ]
= - [ x² + x - 42 ]
= - x ² - x + 42
Hence , the polynomial function f ( x ) = - x ² - x + 42

For each of the following, state the equation of a perpendicular line that passes through (0, 0). Then using the slope of the new equation, find x if the point P(x, 4) lies on the new line. y=3x-1 y=1/4 x+2
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
a) y=3x-1
The standard equation of a line is given by:
y = mx + c
Where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis.
Given that y=3x-1, comparing with the standard equation of a line, the slope (m) = 3, Two lines with slope a and b are perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1 i.e. ab = -1. Let the line perpendicular to y=3x-1 be d, to get the slope of the perpendicular line, we use:
3 × d = -1
d = -1/3
To find the equation of the perpendicular line passing through (0,0), we use:
[tex]y-y_1=d(x-x_1)\\d\ is\ the \ slope:\\y-0=-\frac{1}{3} (x-0)\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x[/tex]
To find x if the point P(x, 4) lies on the new line, insert y = 4 and find x:
[tex]y=-\frac{1}{3}x\\ 4=-\frac{1}{3}x\\-x=12\\x=-12[/tex]
b) y=1/4 x+2
Given that y=1/4 x+2, comparing with the standard equation of a line, the slope (m) = 1/4. Let the line perpendicular to y=1/4 x+2 be f, to get the slope of the perpendicular line, we use:
1/4 × f = -1
f = -4
To find the equation of the perpendicular line passing through (0,0), we use:
[tex]y-y_1=f(x-x_1)\\f\ is\ the \ slope:\\y-0=-4 (x-0)\\y=-4x[/tex]
To find x if the point P(x, 4) lies on the new line, insert y = 4 and find x:
[tex]y=-4}x\\ 4=-4x\\x=-1[/tex]
