There are 320 students in a school. 16 come to school by car. 96 walk to school. Estimate the probability that a particular student: a arrives by car b walks to school c does not walk to school d does not walk or come by car.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. The probability that a particular student arrives by car is [tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex] = 0.05, which equals 5%.

b. The probability that a particular student walks to school is [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex] = 0.3, which equals 30%.

c. The probability that a particular student does not walk to school is [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex] = 0.7, which equals 70%.

d. The probability that a particular student does not walk or come by car is [tex]\frac{13}{20}[/tex] = 0.65, which equals 65%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the greater or lesser possibility of a certain event occurring. In other words, probability establishes a relationship between the number of favorable events and the total number of possible events. Then, the probability of any event A is defined as the quotient between the number of favorable cases (number of cases in which event A may or may not occur) and the total number of possible cases. This is called Laplace's Law.

[tex]P(A)=\frac{number of favorable cases}{number of possible cases}[/tex]

In this case, the number of possible cases is always the same, which is equal to the total number of students. So the number of possible cases is 320 students. The number of favorable cases varies as follows:

a. Number of favorable cases= number of students that arrive by car= 16

So: [tex]P(A)=\frac{16}{320}[/tex]

P(A)=[tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex] = 0.05, which equals 5%

The probability that a particular student arrives by car is [tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex] = 0.05, which equals 5%.

b. Number of favorable cases= number of students that walk to school= 96

So: [tex]P(A)=\frac{96}{320}[/tex]

P(A)=[tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex] = 0.3, which equals 30%

The probability that a particular student walks to school is [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex] = 0.3, which equals 30%.

c. Number of favorable cases= number of students that do not walk to school = 320 students - number of students that walk to school= 320 students - 96 students= 224 students

So: [tex]P(A)=\frac{224}{320}[/tex]

P(A)=[tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex] = 0.7, which equals 70%

The probability that a particular student does not walk to school is [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex] = 0.7, which equals 70%.

d. Number of favorable cases= number of students that do not walk or come by car= 320 students - number of students that walk to school - number of students that arrive by car= 320 students - 96 students - 16 students= 208 students

So: [tex]P(A)=\frac{208}{320}[/tex]

P(A)=[tex]\frac{13}{20}[/tex] = 0.65, which equals 65%

The probability that a particular student does not walk or come by car is [tex]\frac{13}{20}[/tex] = 0.65, which equals 65%.

Neil is going to a bookstore 45 miles away. The bridge was closed on the way back, so
he had to take an alternate route and had to drive 15 mph slower, which make the trip
back take 7 minutes longer. How fast was he going on the way to the bookstore?

Answers

Answer:

35 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

As you might have learned in your physics class, the average speed of a car in mph is 50. You should write this down on some paper.

After writing it down, we need to look at what the problem is asking us, so we don't get confused. " How fast was he going on the way to the bookstore?"

This means that we need to calculate his mph speed on the way to the bookstore by subtracting something.

50 mph=Average

Alternate Route= -15

After you have written THAT down in your notes, you need to ask yourself,

"What is 50-15?"

Calculating 50-15 will make the "15 mph slower" show up and calculating that with the average will get you your answer.

50-15 is 35

Answers

Answer: 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 large rooms which will add up to 18

9 small rooms which will also add up to 18 totaling the 36 guests.

The no. of small and large rooms in the hotel are 9 and 6 respectively.

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is an algebraic equation of degree one. In general, the variable or the variables(in the case of a linear equation in two variables) the variables are x and y.

Given, Emily is blocking off several rooms in a hotel for guests coming to her wedding.

Let us assume that small rooms be x and large rooms to be y.

Emily booked a total of 15 rooms which is x + y = 15...(i).

which can accommodate 36 guests altogether which is 2x + 3y = 36...(ii)

Now if we multiply eqn(i) by 2 it'll be 2x + 2y = 30...(iii)

Now subtracting eqn(iii) from eqn(ii) we get y = 6.

substituting the value of y in eqn(iii) we get x = 9.

So, the number of small rooms is 9 and no. of large rooms is 6.

Thomas is going to deposit $840 in an account that earns 7.5% interest compounded annually. His wife Sheril will deposit $1,250 in an account that earns 6.9% simple interest each year. They deposit the money on the same dayand make no additional deposits or withdrawals for the accounts. What statement is true concerning Thomas' and Sheril's account balance after 5 years?

a
Thomas' account will have about $475.32 less than Sheril's account.
b
Sheril's account will have about $475.32 less than Thomas' account.
c
Thomas' account will have about $431.25 less than Sheril's account.
d
Sheril's account will have about $431.25 less than Thomas' account.

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

I am to determine the future value of Thomas' deposit with annual compounding

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years  

840 x (1.075)^5 = 1205.93

I am to determine the future value of Sherill's deposit in 5 years using simple interest

The amount that would be in the account = amount deposited + interest earned on deposit

interest earned on deposit can be determined by determining the simple interest

Simple interest = amount deposited x time x interest rate

1250 x 0.069 x 5 = 431.25

Amount that would be in her account after 5 years = 1250 +  431.25 =  1681.25

Sheril's money is higher by - 1681.25 -  1205.93 = 475.32

Chloe has enough sand to fill a sandbox with an extra area of 36 square units she wants the outer edge of the sandbox to use as little as Material possible

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Length = Width = 6\ units[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Area=36[/tex]

Required

The least possible material

Sandboxes usually, are rectangles or squares.

Using the above assumption, the area is calculated as:

[tex]Area= Length * Width[/tex]

[tex]Area= L* W[/tex]

[tex]L * W = 36[/tex]

Make L the subject

[tex]L = \frac{36}{W}[/tex]

The material of the outer edge is calculated by the perimeter.

[tex]Perimeter = 2 * (L +W)[/tex]

[tex]P = 2 * (L + W)[/tex]

Substitute [tex]L = \frac{36}{W}[/tex]

[tex]P = 2 * (\frac{36}{W} + W)[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]P = \frac{72}{W} + 2W[/tex]

[tex]P = 72W^{-1} +2W[/tex]

To get the minimum material needed, we differentiate P

[tex]P' = -72W^{-2} + 2[/tex]

Set: [tex]P' = 0[/tex]

[tex]-72W^{-2} + 2 = 0[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]72W^{-2} = 2[/tex]

Divide both sides by 72

[tex]W^{-2} = \frac{2}{72}[/tex]

[tex]W^{-2} = \frac{1}{36}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\frac{1}{W^2} = \frac{1}{36}[/tex]

Take positive square roots of both sides

[tex]\frac{1}{W} = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]W = 6[/tex]

Recall that: [tex]L = \frac{36}{W}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]L =\frac{36}{6}[/tex]

[tex]L = 6[/tex]

Hence, the dimension with the littlest material as possible is:

[tex]Length = Width = 6\ units[/tex]

Which exponential equation is equivalent to this logarithmic equation?
log x = 4

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the definition of a logarithm,  log b ( x ) = y  ⟹  b y = x , to convert from the logarithmic form to the exponential form. 10^ 4 = x

The exponential equation out of the specified options that is equivalent to this logarithmic equation log x = 4 is given by: Option B: 10^4 = x

What is logarithm ?

When you raise a number with an exponent, there comes a result.

Lets say you get [tex]a^b = c[/tex]

Then, you can write 'b' in terms of 'a' and 'c' using logarithm as follows

[tex]b = \log_a(c)[/tex]

'a' is called base of this log function. We say that 'b' is the logarithm of 'c' to base 'a'

Log with base e = 2.71828... is written as [tex]\ln(x)[/tex] simply.

Log with base 10 is written as [tex]\log(x)[/tex] simply.

The given logarithmic equation is;

[tex]\log x = 4[/tex]

Since, log with base 10 is written as [tex]\log(x)[/tex] simply, therefore, we have:

[tex]\log_{10} x = 4[/tex]

Using the definition of logarithm, we get;

[tex]x = 10^4[/tex]

Equivalently, [tex]10^4 = x[/tex] (option B).

Thus, the exponential equation out of the specified options that is equivalent to this logarithmic equation log x = 4 is given by: Option B: 10^4 = x

Every non-atomic expression is written as a Scheme list, so we can write procedures that manipulate other programs just as we write procedures that manipulate lists.Rewriting programs can be useful: we can write an interpreter that only handles a small core of the language, and then write a procedure that converts other special forms into the core language before a program is passed to the interpreter.For example, the let special form is equivalent to a call expression that begins with a lambda expression. Both create a new frame extending the current environment and evaluate a body within that new environment. Feel free to revisit Problem 15 as a refresher on how the let form works.(let ((a 1) (b 2)) (+ a b));; Is equivalent to:((lambda (a b) (+ a b)) 1 2)These expressions can be represented by the following diagrams:Let Lambdalet lambdaUse this rule to implement a procedure called let-to-lambda that rewrites all let special forms into lambda expressions. If we quote a let expression and pass it into this procedure, an equivalent lambda expression should be returned: pass it into this procedure:scm> (let-to-lambda '(let ((a 1) (b 2)) (+ a b)))((lambda (a b) (+ a b)) 1 2)scm> (let-to-lambda '(let ((a 1)) (let ((b a)) b)))((lambda (a) ((lambda (b) b) a)) 1)In order to handle all programs, let-to-lambda must be aware of Scheme syntax. Since Scheme expressions are recursively nested, let-to-lambda must also be recursive. In fact, the structure of let-to-lambda is somewhat similar to that of scheme_eval--but in Scheme! As a reminder, atoms include numbers, booleans, nil, and symbols. You do not need to consider code that contains quasiquotation for this problem.(define (let-to-lambda expr)(cond ((atom? expr) )((quoted? expr) )((lambda? expr) )((define? expr) )((let? expr) )(else )))CODE:; Returns a function that checks if an expression is the special form FORM(define (check-special form)(lambda (expr) (equal? form (car expr))))(define lambda?
