The probability P (4)  and of getting more than 2 questions correct are 0.017 and 0.113 respectively.

The number of ways the student can answer each question is 4 (since there are 4 choices), so the probability of getting any one question correct by guessing is 1/4, and the probability of getting any one question wrong by guessing is 3/4.

We can use the binomial probability formula to find the probability of getting a specific number of questions correct out of the 10:

[tex]P(X = k) = ( ^kC _n) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k)[/tex]

a) P(4) represents the probability of getting exactly 4 questions correct out of 10.

[tex]P(X = 4) = (^{10}C_4) * (1/4)^4 * (3/4)^{(10-4)} \approx 0.017[/tex]

So the probability of getting exactly 4 questions correct is approximately 0.017.

b) P(more than 2) represents the probability of getting 3, 4, 5, ..., or 10 questions correct out of 10. We can use the complement rule to find this probability:

P(more than 2) = 1 - P(X ≤ 2)

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)\\= (^{10} C_0) * (1/4)^0 * (3/4)^{10}+ (^{10} C_1) * (1/4)^1 * (3/4)^9+ (^{10} C_2) * (1/4)^2 * (3/4)^8\\\approx 0.887[/tex]

So,

P(more than 2) = 1 - P(X ≤ 2) ≈ 1 - 0.887 ≈ 0.113

Therefore, the probability of getting more than 2 questions correct is approximately 0.113.

Manuel bought a car for 65% (percentage) of the original price of $7,000, he must have paid $4,550 for the car.

The percentage is a number or ratio that represents a fraction of a whole number or the sum of ratios.

The percentage is computed by dividing one number by another and multiplying the result by 100.

The original price of the car = $7,000

The discount factor = 65% (1 - 35%) or 0.65

The discounted price = $4,550 ($7,000 x 0.65)

The value of a in the equation 60°a = [? ]° is dependent on the value of [? ].

To solve for a in the equation 60°a = [? ]°, we need to isolate a on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 60°:

60°a / 60° = [? ]° / 60°

This simplifies to:

a = [? ]° / 60°

Since we don't have the value of [? ]°, we cannot determine the exact value of a. However, we can simplify the expression by canceling out the ° units:

a = [? ] / 60

Therefore, the value of a is dependent on the value of [? ].

a) The percent of the scores are between 72 and 87 is 77.45%

b) The probability that a score is greater than 77 is 84.13%

c) The probability that a score is less than 82 or greater than 92 is 52.28%

d) About 5 students scored outside two standard deviations of the mean.

a) To find the percent of scores between 72 and 87, we first need to standardize these scores. We can do this by subtracting the mean (82) and dividing by the standard deviation (5). This gives us:

z = (72 - 82) / 5 = -2

z = (87 - 82) / 5 = 1

We can then use a table of standard normal probabilities (also called a z-table) to find the probability of a score being between -2 and 1. This probability is 0.7745, or 77.45%

b) To find the probability that a score is greater than 77, we again need to standardize the score:

z = (77 - 82) / 5 = -1

Using the z-table, we can find the probability of a score being greater than -1 (which is the same as the probability of a score being less than or equal to 77). This probability is 0.1587, or 15.87% (rounded to two decimal places). To find the probability of a score being greater than 77, we subtract this probability from 1:

P(score > 77) = 1 - P(score <= 77) = 1 - 0.1587 = 0.8413, or 84.13%

c) To find the probability that a score is less than 82 or greater than 92, we can break this into two separate probabilities:

P(score < 82) + P(score > 92)

We can standardize these scores as follows:

z = (82 - 82) / 5 = 0

z = (92 - 82) / 5 = 2

Using the z-table, we can find the probabilities associated with these z-scores:

P(score < 82) = P(z < 0) = 0.5 (from the symmetry of the standard normal distribution)

P(score > 92) = P(z > 2) = 0.0228

Adding these probabilities together gives us:

P(score < 82 or score > 92) = 0.5 + 0.0228 = 0.5228, or 52.28%

d) Two standard deviations from the mean in either direction would be:

82 - (2 x 5) = 72

82 + (2 x 5) = 92

So any score below 72 or above 92 would be considered outside two standard deviations. To find how many students scored outside this range, we need to find the total proportion of scores that fall outside this range and multiply by the total number of scores.

To find the proportion of scores outside the range, we can use the same approach as in part c):

P(score < 72 or score > 92) = P(z < -2 or z > 2) = P(z < -2) + P(z > 2)

Using the z-table, we find:

P(z < -2) = 0.0228

P(z > 2) = 0.0228

Adding these probabilities together gives us:

P(score < 72 or score > 92) = 0.0228 + 0.0228 = 0.0456

So 4.56% of scores fall outside the range of 72 to 92. To find the number of students who scored outside this range, we can multiply this proportion by the total number of scores:

0.0456 x 120 = 5.472 ≈ 5

When it comes to interest, most Certificates of Deposit (CDs) will allow periodic interest payouts. So, correct option is B.

A CD is a type of savings account that allows you to earn a fixed interest rate on your deposit for a specific period of time, called the term. Typically, the longer the term of the CD, the higher the interest rate offered.

However, during the term of the CD, the funds are locked in, meaning that you cannot withdraw the principal without incurring a penalty.

While some CDs may allow for unlimited withdrawals of interest, this is not common, and may still come with restrictions or penalties. Loans against principal are also not typically allowed with CDs, as the funds are meant to be held for a set term.

Therefore, the most common option available for CD holders is to receive periodic interest payouts, which can be monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on the terms of the CD. This allows the CD holder to earn interest on their deposit while still receiving some income during the term of the CD.

So, correct option is B.

The missing lengths of the following two triangles:

Case 1: x = 50 km

Case 2: x = 40 km

Case 3: Obtuse

Case 4: Acute

Case 5: Right

Case 6: m = 16, n = 8√3

Case 7: x = 3√2, y = 3

In this problem we must determine all missing lenghts in a triangle, this can be done by law of cosine:

x² = a² + b² - 2 · a · b · cos X

Where X is the angle opposite to side x.

Now we proceed to determine the missing lengths of the following two triangles:

Case 1

x = √[(14 km)² + (48 km)² - 2 · (14 km) · (48 km) · cos 90°]

x = 50 km

Case 2

x = √[(24 km)² + (32 km)² - 2 · (24 km) · (32 km) · cos 90°]

x = 40 km

In addition, we can determine if any triangle is acute, obtuse and right also by law of cosine:

cos X = - (x² - a² - b²) / (2 · a · b)

Case 3

cos X = - [(18 in)² - (12 in)² - (9 in)²] / [2 · (12 in) · (9 in)]

cos X = - 0.458 (Obtuse)

Case 4

cos X = - [(15 ft)² - (12 in)² - (14 in)²] / [2 · (12 in) · (14 in)]

cos X = 0.342 (Acute)

Case 5

cos X = - [(5 ft)² - (3 in)² - (4 in)²] / [2 · (3 in) · (4 in)]

cos X = 0 (Right)

Finaly, we determine the missing lengths of two right triangles by trigonometric functions:

sin θ = y / r

cos θ = x / r

tan θ = y / x

Now we find the missing lengths:

Case 6

m = 8 / cos 60°

m = 16

n = 8 · tan 60°

n = 8√3

Case 7

x = 3 / sin 45°

x = 3√2

To test whether the mean time for Dr. McCoy is different from the mean time for Dr. Turk, we can use a two-sample t-test with unequal variances. The test statistic for this test is given by:

t = (X₁ - X₂) / √(s₁²/n₁ + s₂²/n₂)

where X₁ and X₂ are the sample means, s₁ and s₂ are the sample standard deviations, and n₁ and n₂ are the sample sizes.

Plugging in the given values, we get:

t = (78 - 78.7) / √(2.3²/38 + 4.1²/33)

= -2.168

Therefore, the value of the test statistic used in this test is t = -2.168.

b) To find the P-value of this test, we need to use a t-distribution with degrees of freedom given by:

df = (s₁²/n₁+ s₂²/n₂)² / [ (s₁²/n₁)²/(n₁-1) + (s₂²/n₂)²/(n₂-1) ]

Plugging in the given values, we get:

df = (2.3²/38 + 4.1²/33)² / [ (2.3²/38)²/37 + (4.1²/33)²/32 ] ≈ 65.385

Using a t-distribution table or a calculator with t-distribution function, we find that the P-value for a two-tailed test with t = -2.168 and df = 65.385 is approximately 0.034.

Therefore, the P-value of this test is P-value = 0.034

A) A probability of approximately 0.128 or 12.8% that exactly 17 students had type A blood.

B) There is a 93.0% chance that at least 17 students had type A blood in the blood drive held at University High.

Part A: To find the probability that exactly 17 of the 50 students had type A blood, we first need to calculate the probability of a single student having type A blood. Since about 31% of the U.S. population has type A blood, the probability of a student at University High having type A blood is also 31%.

We can use the binomial distribution formula to calculate the probability of exactly 17 students having type A blood in a sample of 50 students. The formula is:

P(X = x) = (n choose k) x pˣ x (1-p)ⁿ⁻ˣ

where P(X = x) is the probability of exactly x successes, n is the sample size (in this case, 50), p is the probability of success (31% or 0.31), (n choose k) is the binomial coefficient or the number of ways to choose k successes from n trials.

Plugging in the values, we get:

P(X = 17) = (50 choose 17) x 0.31¹⁷ x (1-0.31)⁵⁰⁻¹⁷ = 0.128 or 12.8%

Part B: To find the probability that at least 17 of the 50 students had type A blood, we need to calculate the probability of 17, 18, 19,...50 students having type A blood and then add those probabilities together. This is because "at least 17" means 17 or more students, so we need to consider all possibilities from 17 to 50.

Therefore, the probability of at least 17 students having type A blood is:

P(X >= 17) = 1 - P(X < 17)

where P(X < 17) is the probability of less than 17 students having type A blood. We can use the binomial distribution formula to calculate this probability as well:

P(X < 17) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + ... + P(X = 16)

Again, this can be a tedious task to calculate manually. Instead, we can use a binomial calculator or a software program to find this probability.

Using a binomial, we find that the probability of less than 17 students having type A blood is approximately 0.070 or 7.0%. Therefore, the probability of at least 17 students having type A blood is:

P(X >= 17) = 1 - P(X < 17) = 1 - 0.070 = 0.930 or 93.0%

Answer:Find the rational roots of x^4+5x^3+7x^2-3x-10=0

To find the rational roots of a polynomial, we use the Rational Root Theorem, which states that if a polynomial has rational roots, then they must be of the form p/q, where p is a factor of the constant term and q is a factor of the leading coefficient. In this case, the constant term is -10, and the leading coefficient is 1. The factors of 10 are ±1, ±2, ±5, and ±10, and the factors of 1 are ±1. Therefore, the possible rational roots are:

±1, ±2, ±5, ±10

We can test each of these roots by synthetic division or long division to see if they are actually roots of the polynomial. After trying these roots, we find that only -2 and 1 are roots. Therefore, the answer is A. -2,1.

Find all the zeros of the equation 3x^2-4=-x^4

We can rewrite the equation as x^4+3x^2-4=0. To find the zeros of this equation, we can use the Rational Root Theorem as in the previous question, except that now the factors of the constant term -4 are ±1, ±2, and ±4. The factors of the leading coefficient 1 are ±1. Therefore, the possible rational roots are:

±1, ±2, ±4

Testing these roots, we find that the only roots are x=1, x=-1, x=2i, and x=-2i. Therefore, the answer is D. 1,-1,2i,-2i.

What is a polynomial function in standard form with zeros 1,2,-2, and -3?

If a polynomial has roots a, b, c, and d, then it can be written as (x-a)(x-b)(x-c)(x-d). To put it in standard form, we need to expand this expression:

(x-a)(x-b)(x-c)(x-d) = x^4 - (a+b+c+d)x^3 + (ab+ac+ad+bc+bd+cd)x^2 - (abc+abd+acd+bcd)x + abcd

Substituting the given values of a, b, c, and d, we get:

(x-1)(x-2)(x+2)(x+3) = x^4 + 2x^3 - 7x^2 - 8x + 12

Therefore, the answer is B. x^4+2x^3-7x^2-8x+12.

Which correctly describes the roots of the following cubic equation.

x^3-3x^2+4x-12=0

We can use the Rational Root Theorem again to find the possible rational roots of the polynomial. The factors of the constant term -12 are ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, and ±12, and the factors of the leading coefficient 1 are ±1. Therefore, the possible rational roots are:

±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±12

Testing these roots, we find that none of them are roots of the polynomial. Therefore, the answer is B. one real root and two complex roots.

4. x³ -3x² +4x- 12=0

(x-3)(x²+4) =0

x= 3, -2i, 3i

5.  x= 1,2,4,6,8,10,11

y= 0,-1,0,4,8,9,8

So, equation of line

k = 30/2

k = 15

So, the relationship is y= 15x.

7. cn = constant(k)

n= 44

then, c= 30/44 = 0.68

and, k = 44 x 0.68

k = 30

So, c = 1.5 dollars per person.

Answer:

[tex] {( \frac{1}{5}) }^{3} (312) = \frac{312}{125} = 2.496[/tex]

The volume of this rectangular prism is 2.496 cubic centimeters.

The volume of the rectangular prism is 2.496 cubic centimeters.

If the rectangular prism has 312 cubes with an edge length of 1/5 cm, we may calculate the total volume by multiplying the number of cubes by the volume of each cube.

V = x3 gives the volume of a cube with edge length x. Because the edge length, in this case, is 1/5 cm, the volume of each cube is (1/5)3 = 1/125 cm3.

We multiply the number of cubes by the volume of each cube to determine the volume of the rectangular prism:

312 cubes (1/125 cm3/cube) = 2.496cm3 volume

The walkway around the swimming pool should be 8 feet wide.

From the question, we are given:

Length of the pool (l) = 15 feet

Width of the pool (w) = 7 feet

width of walkway (X) = X feet

Total Area =  Area of pool and walkway = 713 square feet

Let's derive equation for the pool and walkaway combined:

length of the pool and walkway = 15 + 2X [walkway is on both sides]

width of the pool and walkway = 7 + 2X

Total Area = (length x width) of the pool and walkway

713 = (15 + 2X) x (7 + 2X)

713 = 15(7 + 2X) + 2X(7 + 2X)

713 = 105 + 30X + 14X + 4X²

713 = 105 + 44X + 4X²

Rearrange the equation

4X² + 44X + 105 = 713

Collect like terms and express in a proper quadratic equation

4X² + 44X - 608 = 0

Dividing both sides by 4, we get

X² + 11X - 152 = 0

Solve this equation quadratically

X =  [tex]\frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

where

a = 1

b = 11

c = -152

Plug in the value into the equation

X = [tex]\frac{-11 \± \sqrt{11^{2} - 4(1)(-152)}}{2(1)}[/tex]

X = [tex]\frac{-11 \± \sqrt{121 + 608}}{2(1)}[/tex]

X = [tex]\frac{-11 \± \sqrt{729}}{2}[/tex]

X = [tex]\frac{-11 \± 27}{2}[/tex]

X = [tex]\frac{-11 + 27}{2}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{-11 - 27}{2}[/tex]

X = [tex]\frac{16}{2}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{-38}{2}[/tex]

X = 8 or -19

But since the width of the walkway cannot be negative, the only valid solution is therefore:

X = 8
