Twelve people apply for a teaching position in mathematics at a local college. Six have a PhD and six have a master’s degree. If the department chairperson selects three applicants at random for an interview, find the probability that all three have a PhD

Answers

Answer 1

Using the hypergeometic distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0175 = 1.75% probability that all three have a PhD.

The applicants are chosen without replacement, hence the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

What is the hypergeometric distribution formula?

The formula is:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.N is the size of the population.n is the size of the sample.k is the total number of desired outcomes.

In this problem, the values of the parameters are as follows: N = 20, k = 6, n = 3.

The probability that all three have a PhD is P(X = 3), hence:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = h(3,20,3,6) = \frac{C_{6,3}C_{14,0}}{C_{20,3}} = 0.0175[/tex]

0.0175 = 1.75% probability that all three have a PhD.

Let x, y, and z represent three rational numbers, such that y is 512 times x and z is 50.25 more than x. If y=15.5, what is the value of z?
Enter your answer in the grid.
WHAT IS Z?

Answers

Answer:

z = 50.2802734375

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 15.5

y is 512 times x

z is 50.25 more than x

15.5/512 = 0.0302734375

x = 0.0302734375

0.0302734375 + 50.25 = 50.2802734375

Answers

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 48 fluid-ounce in a cup, we can do 6 x 48

6 x 48 = 288

Now we know how much fluid ounces are in the 6 cups we can divide by the honey bear ( 2 fluid ounce ).

288/2 = 144

  30 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded area is the difference between the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangle.

The area of the rectangle is ...

  A = LW = (12 cm)(4 cm) = 48 cm²

The area of the triangle is ...

  A = 1/2bh = 1/2(9 cm)(4 cm) = 18 cm²

__

The shaded area is the difference ...

  rectangle area - triangle area = 48 cm² -18 cm² = 30 cm²

The area of the shaded region is 30 square centimeters.

Answer:

ANSWER30cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A(rectangle) - A(triangle)

L×W - ½×B×H

12×4 - ½×(9)×(4)

48 - 2×(9)

6 * n is 6n

Both total are 60 + 6n

Hey there!


6(10 + n)

Jameela spins the following spinner 36 times.

A spinner with 4 equal sections labeled 1 through 4.

How many times should she expect it to land on 3?

Enter your answer as a number, like this: 42

PLEASE HELP ME IM NOT GOOD AT MATH

Answers

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that she should expect it to land on 3 9 times.

What is the binomial probability distribution?

It is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability of a success on each trial.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

In this problem:

The spinner is equally as likely to land on any of the four sections, hence p = 1/4 = 0.25.There will be 36 trials, hence n = 36.

Then, the expected value is given by:

E(X) = np = 36 x 0.25 = 9.

2 times some number plus 5 equals 9

Answers

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x)+5 =9
2(2)+5=9

Answer: The number is 2

Creating an Equation:

     The underlined portion of the sentence becomes a part of our mathematical equation in the next line.

           2 times some number plus 5 equals 9

           2 times n plus 5 equals 9

           2n plus 5 equals 9

           2n + 5 equals 9

           2n + 5 = 9

Solving our Equation:

     I will take the equation we created, and isolate variable n to solve.

           2n + 5 = 9

           2n + 5 - 5 = 9 - 5

           2n = 4

           (2n ) / 2 = (4) / 2

           n = 2

Ayan has $48 andis saving $10 per week and Gemma has $300 and is spending $8 per week. When will they both have the same amount of money? ​

Answers

Answer:

14 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write as an equation with x the number of weeks Ayan and Gemma's money:

-> Ayan's money: 48+10x because every week he wins 10 more dollars

-> Gemma's money 300-8x

Finally just solve the equation for x where ayan's money = gemma's money so :

48+10x=300-8x

add 8x on both side: 48+18x=300

substract 48 on both side to isolate x : 18x =252

devide by 18 on both side : x=14

Which function has the given properties below? the domain is the set of all real numbers. one x-intercept is (startfraction pi over 2 endfraction, 0 endfraction). the maximum value is 3. the y-intercept is (0, –3). y = –3sin(x) y = –3cos(x) y = 3sin(x) y = 3cos(x)

Answers

The required function with maximum value 3 and x and y-intercepts π/2 and 3 respectively is y=-3cos(x)

What is a function?

A function is a rule that relates two variables.

Let us check the x-intercept, y-intercept, and maximum value for each function.

1)y =-3Sin(x)

for x-intercept put y=0

0 = -3Sin(x)

Sin(x) =0

x=0

for y-intercept put x=0

y=-3Sin0

y=0

The maximum value of the given function =the lower limit of the range of -3Sin(x) i.e. 3

Similarly, for y = -3cos(x)

x-intercept =π/2

y-intercept = 3

Maximum value of function = lower limit  of the range of  3cos(x) i.e. 3

Therefore, the required function with maximum value 3 and x and y-intercepts π/2 and 3 respectively is y=-3cos(x)

What is Trigonometry?

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between side lengths and angles of triangles.

The triangle JKL is right angled triangle.

In the triangle KL is the opposite side of angle J.

SinL = Opposite/Hypotenuse

CosK = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Used here, this means ...

sin(L) = KL/JL = 36/60 =6/10=3/5

cos(K) = KJ/KL = 36/60 = 6/10=3/5

sin(L) and cos(K) are equal

Hence, the trigonometric ratios sin(L) is 3/5, cosK is 3/5 and sinL and cosk are equal .

For every 9 children, there are 4 adults. Those numbers added together equal 13. Now, if we divide the total number of adults and children by 13, we will get the number of how many groups there are of 9 kids and 4 adults.

39 / 13 = 3

There are 3 groups of 9 kids and 4 adults, which means to find the total number of children, we have to multiply 3 by 9.

3 * 9 = 27

Therefore, there are 27 children total. I know this was probably really confusing, but I hope it helped in some way! Have a lovely day!! :)
