Answer:
The probability that Pat will pass the exam is 0.02775.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that exam consists of 100 true-false questions. Pat plans to guess the answer to each question without reading it.
If a grade on the exam is 60% or more, Pat will pass the exam.
Let X = grade on the exam by Pat
The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution such that X ~ Binom(n = 100, p = 0.50).
Here the probability of success is 50% because there is a true-false question and there is a 50-50 chance of both being the correct answer.
Now, here to calculate the probability we will use normal approximation because the sample size if very large(i.e. greater than 30).
So, the new mean of X, [tex]\mu[/tex] = [tex]n \times p[/tex] = [tex]100 \times 0.50[/tex] = 50
and the new standard deviation of X, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{n \times p \times (1-p)}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{100 \times 0.50 \times (1-0.50)}[/tex]
= 5
So, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu=50, \sigma^{2} = 5^{2}[/tex])
Now, the probability that Pat will pass the exam is given by = P(X [tex]\geq[/tex] 60)
P(X [tex]\geq[/tex] 60) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [tex]\geq[/tex] [tex]\frac{60-50}{5}[/tex] ) = P(Z [tex]\geq[/tex] 2) = 1 - P(Z < 2)
= 1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275
Hence, the probability that Pat will pass the exam is 0.02775.

In general, if we have [tex]x^a=x^b,[/tex] then [tex]a=b.[/tex] Thus, the first answer choice is correct.
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\red{2x - 1 = 5x - 14}}[/tex]
First answer is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that,
[tex] {x}^{a} = {x}^{b} [/tex]
[tex]a = b[/tex]
So, according to that,
[tex] {5}^{(2x - 1)} = {5}^{(5x - 14)} [/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]2x - 1 = 5x - 14[/tex]
The value of y varies inversely as the square of x, and y = 16, when I = 3.
Find the value of x when y = 1.
Answer:
x = 12Step-by-step explanation:
The statement
The value of y varies inversely as the square of x is written as
[tex]y = \frac{k}{ {x}^{2} } [/tex]
where k is the constant of proportionality
To find the value of x when y = 1 first find the formula for the variation
y = 16 x = 3
k = yx²
k = 16(3)²
k = 16 × 9
k = 144
The formula for the variation is
[tex]y = \frac{144}{ {x}^{2} } [/tex]
when y = 1
We have
[tex]1 = \frac{144}{ {x}^{2} } [/tex]
Cross multiply
x² = 144
Find the square root of both sides
We have the final answer as
x = 12Hope this helps you

Six human skulls from around 4000 b.c. were measured, and the lengths have a mean of 94.2 mm and a standard deviation of 4.9
mm. If you want to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean length of all such skulls, assume that the requirements
are satisfied. Find the critical values that would be used to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of o
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
You have to estimate the mean length of 4000 b.c. human skulls trough a 95% confidence interval.
You know that
n= 6 human skulls
[tex]\frac{}{X}[/tex]= 94.2mm
S= 4.9
Assuming that the variable X: length of a 4000b.c. human skull (mm) has a normal distribution, to construct the interval you have to use the t statistic:
[[tex]\frac{}{X}[/tex] ± [tex]t_{n_1;1-\alpha /2} * \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]]
[tex]t_{n-1;1-\alpha /2}= t_{5; 0.975}= 2.571[/tex]
[94.2 ± 2.571 * [tex]\frac{4.9}{\sqrt{6} }[/tex]]
[89.06; 99.34]mm
With a 95% confidence level you'd expect the interval [89.06; 99.34]mm to contain the value for the average skull length for humans 4000 b.c.

Find the total surface area of the cone in the figure. ( use rr=3.14.)
Answer:
Answer D
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula is [tex]A = pi r(r+\sqrt{h^2+r^2})[/tex]. We have our r (radius) and h (height), so plugging it all in would give us A = (3.14)(5 + sqrt(12^2)+(5^2). After computing this, you would get answer D, 282.6.

As the Type II error, β,of a statistical test increases, the power of the test _____________.
Answer:
decreases.
Step-by-step explanation:
Type II error is one in which we fail to reject the null hypothesis that is actually false. Null hypothesis is a statement that is to be tested against the alternative hypothesis and then decision is taken whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis. The power of Type II error is 1 - [tex]\beta[/tex]. As the power increases the probability of Type II error decreases.

What is the equation for the plane illustrated below?
Answer:
Hence, none of the options presented are valid. The plane is represented by [tex]3 \cdot x + 3\cdot y + 2\cdot z = 6[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation in rectangular form for a 3-dimension plane is represented by:
[tex]a\cdot x + b\cdot y + c\cdot z = d[/tex]
Where:
[tex]x[/tex], [tex]y[/tex], [tex]z[/tex] - Orthogonal inputs.
[tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], [tex]c[/tex], [tex]d[/tex] - Plane constants.
The plane presented in the figure contains the following three points: (2, 0, 0), (0, 2, 0), (0, 0, 3)
For the determination of the resultant equation, three equations of line in three distinct planes orthogonal to each other. That is, expressions for the xy, yz and xz-planes with the resource of the general equation of the line:
xy-plane (2, 0, 0) and (0, 2, 0)
[tex]y = m\cdot x + b[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]m[/tex] - Slope, dimensionless.
[tex]x_{1}[/tex], [tex]x_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final values for the independent variable, dimensionless.
[tex]y_{1}[/tex], [tex]y_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final values for the dependent variable, dimensionless.
[tex]b[/tex] - x-Intercept, dimensionless.
If [tex]x_{1} = 2[/tex], [tex]y_{1} = 0[/tex], [tex]x_{2} = 0[/tex] and [tex]y_{2} = 2[/tex], then:
Slope
[tex]m = \frac{2-0}{0-2}[/tex]
[tex]m = -1[/tex]
x-Intercept
[tex]b = y_{1} - m\cdot x_{1}[/tex]
[tex]b = 0 -(-1)\cdot (2)[/tex]
[tex]b = 2[/tex]
The equation of the line in the xy-plane is [tex]y = -x+2[/tex] or [tex]x + y = 2[/tex], which is equivalent to [tex]3\cdot x + 3\cdot y = 6[/tex].
yz-plane (0, 2, 0) and (0, 0, 3)
[tex]z = m\cdot y + b[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{z_{2}-z_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]m[/tex] - Slope, dimensionless.
[tex]y_{1}[/tex], [tex]y_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final values for the independent variable, dimensionless.
[tex]z_{1}[/tex], [tex]z_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final values for the dependent variable, dimensionless.
[tex]b[/tex] - y-Intercept, dimensionless.
If [tex]y_{1} = 2[/tex], [tex]z_{1} = 0[/tex], [tex]y_{2} = 0[/tex] and [tex]z_{2} = 3[/tex], then:
Slope
[tex]m = \frac{3-0}{0-2}[/tex]
[tex]m = -\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
y-Intercept
[tex]b = z_{1} - m\cdot y_{1}[/tex]
[tex]b = 0 -\left(-\frac{3}{2} \right)\cdot (2)[/tex]
[tex]b = 3[/tex]
The equation of the line in the yz-plane is [tex]z = -\frac{3}{2}\cdot y+3[/tex] or [tex]3\cdot y + 2\cdot z = 6[/tex].
xz-plane (2, 0, 0) and (0, 0, 3)
[tex]z = m\cdot x + b[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{z_{2}-z_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]m[/tex] - Slope, dimensionless.
[tex]x_{1}[/tex], [tex]x_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final values for the independent variable, dimensionless.
[tex]z_{1}[/tex], [tex]z_{2}[/tex] - Initial and final values for the dependent variable, dimensionless.
[tex]b[/tex] - z-Intercept, dimensionless.
If [tex]x_{1} = 2[/tex], [tex]z_{1} = 0[/tex], [tex]x_{2} = 0[/tex] and [tex]z_{2} = 3[/tex], then:
Slope
[tex]m = \frac{3-0}{0-2}[/tex]
[tex]m = -\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
x-Intercept
[tex]b = z_{1} - m\cdot x_{1}[/tex]
[tex]b = 0 -\left(-\frac{3}{2} \right)\cdot (2)[/tex]
[tex]b = 3[/tex]
The equation of the line in the xz-plane is [tex]z = -\frac{3}{2}\cdot x+3[/tex] or [tex]3\cdot x + 2\cdot z = 6[/tex]
After comparing each equation of the line to the definition of the equation of the plane, the following coefficients are obtained:
[tex]a = 3[/tex], [tex]b = 3[/tex], [tex]c = 2[/tex], [tex]d = 6[/tex]
Hence, none of the options presented are valid. The plane is represented by [tex]3 \cdot x + 3\cdot y + 2\cdot z = 6[/tex].

The board of directors of Midwest Foods has declared a dividend of $3,500,000. The company has 300,000 shares of preferred stock that pay $2.85 per share and 2,500,000 shares of common stock. After finding the amount of dividends due the preferred shareholders, calculate the dividend per share of common stock.
Answer:
$855,000Dividend per share of common stock = $1.06Step-by-step explanation:
1. Preferred Share dividends.
There are 300,000 preference shares and each of them got $2.85. Total dividends are;
= 300,000 * 2.85
= $855,000
2. Total dividends = $3,500,000
Dividends left for Common Shareholders (preference gets paid first)
= 3,500,000 - 855,000
= $2,645,000
Common shares number 2,500,000
Dividend per share of common stock = [tex]\frac{2,645,000}{2,500,000}[/tex]
= $1.06
The radius of a nitrogen atom is 5.6 × 10-11 meters, and the radius of a beryllium atom is 1.12 × 10-10 meters. Which atom has a larger radius, and by how many times is it larger than the other?
Answer:
The beryllium atom; 1.99 times larger.
Step-by-step explanation:
The beryllium atom is 0.000000000112 meters, while the nitrogen atom is 0.000000000056 meters. So, the beryllium atom is larger than the other.
(1.12 * 10^-10) / (5.6 * 10^-11)
= (1.112 / 5.6) * (10^-10 + 11)
= 0.1985714286 * 10
= 1.985714286 * 10^0
So, the beryllium atom is about 1.99 times larger than the other.

You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population proportion. Based on previous evidence, you believe the population proportion is approximately 60%. You would like to be 98% confident that your estimate is within 2.5% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required?
Answer:
A sample size of 2080 is needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
98% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.327[/tex].
Based on previous evidence, you believe the population proportion is approximately 60%.
This means that [tex]\pi = 0.6[/tex]
How large of a sample size is required?
We need a sample of n.
n is found when [tex]M = 0.025[/tex]. So
[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.025 = 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.6*0.4}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.025\sqrt{n} = 2.327\sqrt{0.6*0.4}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327\sqrt{0.6*0.4}}{0.025}[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.327\sqrt{0.6*0.4}}{0.025})^{2}[/tex]
[tex]n = 2079.3[/tex]
Rounding up
A sample size of 2080 is needed.
What is the solution for x in the given equation? (root)9x+7+ (root)2x=7 A. x = 18 and x = 2 B. x = 18 C. x = 2 D. x = 18 and x = -2
Answer:
C. x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \sqrt{9x + 7} + \sqrt{2x} = 7 [/tex]
Since you have square roots, you need to separate the square roots and square both sides.
[tex] \sqrt{9x + 7} = 7 - \sqrt{2x} [/tex]
Now that one square root is on each side of the equal sign, we square both sides.
[tex] (\sqrt{9x + 7})^2 = (7 - \sqrt{2x})^2 [/tex]
[tex] 9x + 7 = 49 - 14\sqrt{2x} + 2x [/tex]
Now we isolate the square root and square both sides again.
[tex] 7x - 42 = -14\sqrt{2x} [/tex]
Every coefficient is a multiple of 7, so to work with smaller numbers, we divide both sides by 7.
[tex] x - 6 = -2\sqrt{2x} [/tex]
Square both sides.
[tex] (x - 6)^2 = (-2\sqrt{2x})^2 [/tex]
[tex] x^2 - 12x + 36 = 4(2x) [/tex]
[tex] x^2 - 20x + 36 = 0 [/tex]
We need to try to factor the left side.
-2 * (-18) = 36 & -2 + (-18) = -20, so we use -2 and -18.
[tex] (x - 2)(x - 18) = 0 [/tex]
[tex] x = 2 [/tex] or [tex] x = 18 [/tex]
Since solving this equation involved the method of squaring both sides, we much check for extraneous solutions by testing our two solutions in the original equation.
Test x = 2:
[tex] \sqrt{9x + 7} + \sqrt{2x} = 7 [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{9(2) + 7} + \sqrt{2(2)} = 7 [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{25} + \sqrt{4} = 7 [/tex]
[tex] 5 + 2 = 7 [/tex]
[tex] 5 = 5 [/tex]
We have a true equation, so x = 2 is a true solution of the original equation.
Now we test x = 18.
[tex] \sqrt{9x + 7} + \sqrt{2x} = 7 [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{9(18) + 7} + \sqrt{2(18)} = 7 [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{162 + 7} + \sqrt{36} = 7 [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{169} + 6 = 7 [/tex]
[tex] 13 + 6 = 7 [/tex]
[tex] 19 = 7 [/tex]
Since 19 = 7 is a false equation, x = 18 is not a true solution of the original equation and is discarded as an extraneous solution.
Answer: C. x = 2

[tex]4.6 x -4x = 0.3+1.3[/tex]
[tex]0.6x = 1.6[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 0.6
x = 1.6 / 0.6

AB = 20 tan55°
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle
tan55° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AB}{BC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AB}{20}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 20 )
20 tan55° = AB
I made a square frame for my favorite bird picture from four wooden pieces. Each piece is a rectangle with a perimeter of 24 inches. What is the area and perimeter of the picture and frame, together?
Answer:
Perimeter of the picture and frame = 38.4inches
Area of the picture and frame = 92.16inches²
Step-by-step explanation:
A square frame is made up of 4 different pieces. The shape of each piece = Rectangle
The perimeter of the rectangle = 24
Perimeter of the rectangle = 24 inches
The perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W
The Width of a Rectangle is always on her than the length hence.
24 = 2L + 2W
24 = 2( L + W)
24/2 = L + W
12 = L + W
Because the width is always longer than the length
W > L
Width of wooden frame = 4 × Length
Therefore;
4 × L = W
Which gives
L + W = 12 inches
4 × L + L = 12 inches
L×(4 + 1)
= 5L = 12 inches
L = 12/5 = 2.4 inches
W = 4 × L = 4 × 12/5
W = 48/5 = 9.6 inches
Side length of wooden frame, L =9.6
The perimeter of the picture frame = 4 × L= 4 × 9.6= 38.4 inches
The area of the picture frame = L²
= L × L
= 9.6 × 9.6 = 92.16inches².
The length of a rectangle is four times its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 50 yd, find its area
Answer:
100yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
length=4x
width=x
perimeter=2(l+w)
50=2(4x+x)
50=2(5x)=10x
50=10x
x=5yd
width=5yd
length=20yd
area=length×width
=20×5
=100yd²
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\red{100 \: \: {yd} ^{2}}} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
width = x
length = 4x
so,
perimeter of a rectangle
[tex] p= 2(l + w) \\ 50yd = 2(4x + x) \\ 50yd= 2(5x) \\ 50yd= 10x \\ \frac{50yd}{10} = \frac{10x}{10} \\ x = 5 \: \: yd[/tex]
So, in this rectangle,
width = 5 yd
length = 4x
= 4*5
= 20yd
Now, let's find the area of this rectangle
[tex]area = l \times w \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 20 \times 5 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 100 {yd}^{2} [/tex]

Algebra 2, I need help!!! Solve x^2 + 6x + 7 = 0. If you are going to comment in here please know the answer, this is so serious for me. Thank you.
Answer:
Third option
Step-by-step explanation:
We can't factor this so we need to use the quadratic formula which states that when ax² + bx + c = 0, x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a. However, we notice that b (which is 6) is even, so we can use the special quadratic formula which states that when ax² + bx + c = 0 and b is even, x = (-b' ± √(b'² - ac)) / a where b' = b / 2. In this case, a = 1, b' = 3 and c = 7 so:
x = (-3 ± √(3² - 1 * 7)) / 1 = -3 ± √2

Let the second consecutive integer be x+1.
The product of the two consecutive integers is 72.
x(x + 1) = 72
x² + x = 72
Subtracting 72 from both sides.
x² + x - 72 = 0
Factor left side of the equation.
(x - 8)(x + 9) = 0
Set factors equal to 0.
x - 8 = 0
x = 8
x + 9 = 0
x = -9
8 and -9 are not consecutive integers.
Try 8 and 9 to check.
x = 8
x + 1 = 9
x(x+1) = 72
8(9) = 72
72 = 72
True!
The two consecutive integers are 8 and 9.

A line passes through the points (6, 10) and (4, -2). What is the equation of the line
Answer:
y = 6x - 26
Step-by-step explanation:
1. find slope: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
(-2 - 10) / (4 - 6) = -12 / -2 = 6
basic equation: y = 6x + b
2. plug in (x,y) value using one set of coordinates.
10 = 6(6) + b
10 = 36 + b
b = 10 - 36
b = -26
3. plug b in to find full equation.
y = 6x -26
Answer:
y = -1/6 x + 11
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to write an equation of a line you need slope (m) and y-intercept (b) or where the graph grosses the y- axis. since you are given two points (6, 10) and (4, -2). Slope when given two points is (y - y) / (x - x)
so (-2 - 10) / (6 - 4) = 6 / - 1 =- 6
use the equation y = mx + b and substitute either point (6, 10) or (4, -2) as a replacement for x and y respectively. (I chose (6, 10) because they are positive numbers. Substituting x = 6 and y = 10 and m = -6 into y = mx + b
10 = -6(6) + b
10 = -36 + b
b = 46 (add -36 to both sides)
so our equation: y = -6x + 46 :-)
An investigation of a number of automobile accidents revealed the following information:
18 accidents involved alcohol and excessive speed.
26 involved alcohol.
12 accidents involved excessive speed but not alcohol.
21 accidents involved neither alcohol nor excessive speed.
How many accidents were investigated?
Answer:
59 accidents were investigated.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question above is a probability question that involves 2 elements: causes of accidents.
Let
A = Alcohol
E = Excessive speed
In the question, we are given the following information:
18 accidents involved Alcohol and Excessive speed =P(A ∩ E)
26 involved Alcohol = P(A)
12 accidents involved excessive speed but not alcohol = P( E ) Only
21 accidents involved neither alcohol nor excessive speed = neither A U B
We were given P(A) in the question. P(A Only) = P(A) - P(A ∩ E)
P(A Only) = 26 - 18
= 8
So, only 8 accident involved Alcohol but not excessive speed.
The Total number of Accidents investigated = P(A Only) + P( E only) + P(A ∩ E) + P( neither A U B)
= 8 + 12 + 18 + 21
= 59
Therefore, 59 accidents were investigated.

Betty and Karen have been hired to paint the houses in a new development. Working together, the women can paint a house in two-thirds the time that it takes Karen working alone. Betty takes 14 h to paint a house alone. Betty takes 6 h to paint a house alone.
Required:
How long does it take Karen to paint a house working alone?
Answer: 3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the correct question:
Betty and karen have been hired to paint the houses in a new development. Working together the women can paint a house in two thirds the time that it takes karen working alone. Betty takes 6 hours to paint a house alone. How long does it take karen to paint a house working alone?
Since Betty takes 6 hours to paint a house alone, that means she can paint 1/6 of the house in 1 hour.
Karen can also paint 1/x in 1 hour
Both of them will paint the house in 3/2 hours.
We then add them together which gives:
1/6 + 1/x = 3/2x
The lowest common multiple is 6x
1x/6x + 6/6x = 9/6x
We then leave out the denominators
1x + 6 = 9
x = 9 - 6
x = 3
Karen working alone will paint a house in 3 hours.
