Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of trucks that will be going over the speed limit on I-77 South between Dobson and Elkin.

The probability of X is, p = 0.75.

A random sample of n = 5 trucks are observed on this stretch of I-77.

The random variable X follows a binomial distribution with parameters n = 5 and p = 0.75.

(a)

Compute the mean as follows:

[tex]\mu=n\times p=5\times 0.75=3.75[/tex]

The mean of this probability distribution is 3.75.

(b)

The mean of 3.75 implies that on average 3.75 trucks that will be going over the speed limit on I-77 South between Dobson and Elkin.

(c)

Compute the standard deviation as follows:

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{5\times 0.75\times (1-0.75)}=0.968[/tex]

Thus, the standard deviation of this probability distribution is 0.97.

(d)

Compute the probability that exactly 3 of the observed trucks are speeding as follows:

[tex]P(X=3)={5\choose 3}(0.75)^{3}(1-0.75)^{5-3}\\\\=10\times 0.421875\times 0.0625\\\\=0.263671875\\\\\approx 0.2637[/tex]

Thus, the probability that exactly 3 of the observed trucks are speeding is 0.2637.

(e)

Compute the probability that less than 3 of the observed trucks are speeding as follows:

[tex]P(X<3)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)\\\\=\sum\limits^{2}_{x=0}{{5\choose x}(0.75)^{x}(1-0.75)^{5-x}}\\\\=0.0009765625+0.0146484375+0.087890625\\\\=0.103515625\\\\\approx 0.1035[/tex]

Thus, the probability that less than 3 of the observed trucks are speeding is 0.1035.

can a triangle have an exterior angle that is obtuse at two vertices? Explain

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

An obtuse triangle will have two obtuse angle at its exterior.

Take for instance, the angles in the triangle are 100, 40 and 40.

The exteriors would be 80, 140, 140 (this is gotten by subtracting each interior angles from 180).

So, using the above analysis, we can conclude that the statement is possible.

Answers

Given:

A basketball team played five games.

In those​ games, the team won by 7​ points, lost by​ 3, won by​ 4, lost by​ 2, and won by 9.

To find:

The mean difference in game scores over the five​ games.

Solution:

Total number of games = 5

Scores in 5 matches are 7, -3, 4, -2, 9.

Positive sign is used for winning and negative sign is used for losing the game.

We know that,

[tex]Mean=\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}[/tex]

[tex]Mean=\dfrac{7-3+4-2+9}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Mean=\dfrac{20-5}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Mean=\dfrac{15}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Mean=3[/tex]

Therefore, the mean difference in game scores over the five games was 3.

The ratio of money in Terry's bank account to Faye's bank account was 3:7.
Terry then put £220 in his account and Faye withdrew £300 from her account.
They now had the same amount in their accounts.
How much did Terry initially have?

Answers

Answer:

£390

Step-by-step explanation:

 The ratio of money in bank:

        Terry  :    Faye

             3      :     7

Terry put £220 in his account

Faye withdrew £300 from her account

 Unknown:

Initial amount Terry had = ?

Solution:

 Let the real amount terry has = 3x

  Faye will have = 7x

Now;

        3x + 220  = 7x -300

 Solving this equation:

         3x + 220  = 7x -300

       3x - 7x = -300 - 220  

           -4x  = - 520

             4x = 520

               x = 130

Originally, Terry has 3x = 3 x 130 = £390

in a geometrical progression,the product of the 2nd and 4th term is double the the 5th terms. and the sum of the first four terms is 80 find the G.p​

Answers

The 15th term of the geometric progression is 9,565,94.

What is the 15th term of the geometric progression?

A geometric progression can be expressed as an = a1rn-1 for some a1 and r. You are told that a2 * a4 = 2a5 and a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 = 80.

From the first equation, a2 = a1 r, a4 = a1 r3, and a5 = a1 r4. This tells us that

a1 r a1 r3 = 2 a1 r4

The r's and one a1 cancel leaving a1 = 2.

Now, plugging similarly into a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 = 80,

2 + 2r + 2r2 + 2r3 = 80

r3 + r2 + r + 1 = 40

In general, the easiest way to solve a cubic is by graphing, but here you know the answer will be a small integer, so just try a few. If we try r=3, we get 27 + 9 + 3 + 1 = 40 so r = 3.

So the geometric sequence here is an = 2 3n-1. The 15th term is then:

a15 = 2*3^14

a15 = 9,565,938.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The fish population at the beginning of 2012 is 100.

Given

A fish population, p, can be represented by the equation;

[tex]\rm P =800 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right)^t[/tex]

Where t is time in years since the beginning of 2015.

How to determine the population at the beginning of 2012?

The expression represents the number of population in the year 2015 so first take the difference between the year 2015 and 2012 which is 3 then substitute the 3 in the given equation and solve.

The difference between year 2015 and 2012 is;

t = 2015 - 2012 = 3

Substitute the value of t in the equation

[tex]\rm P =800 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right)^t\\\\\rm P =800 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right)^3\\\\P = 800 \times \dfrac{1}{8}\\\\P = 100[/tex]

Hence, the fish population at the beginning of 2012 is 100.

Suppose the parallelogram JKLM has vertices:

Write each transformation in function notation and find the new coordinates of each point.

2. K' if the parallelogram is rotated counterclockwise 180° about the origin?

3. L' if the parallelogram is rotated counterclockwise 90° about the origin?

4. M' if the parallelogram is rotated counterclockwise 90° about the origin?


I NEED HELP

Answers

Answer:

1. For a rotation of 270° counterclockwise about the origin the coordinates of J' is (1, -2)

2. For a rotation of 180° counterclockwise about the origin the coordinates of K' is (-7, -1)

3. For a rotation of 90° counterclockwise about the origin the coordinates of L' is (3, 6)

4. For a rotation of 90° counterclockwise about the origin the coordinates of M' is (3, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the vertices of the parallelogram are given as follows;

J(2, 1), K(7, 1), L(6, -3), M(1, -3)

1. We have, for a rotation of 270° counterclockwise about the origin we have

f(x, y) = (y, -x)

Therefore, we have for the vertices;

f(J(2, 1)) = J'(1, -2)

Therefore, we have the coordinates of J' as (1, -2);

2. We have, for a rotation of 180° counterclockwise about the origin we have

f(x, y) = (-x, -y)

Therefore, we have for the vertex point K;

f(K(7, 1)) = K'(-7, -1)

3. We have, for a rotation of 90° counterclockwise about the origin we have

f(x, y) = (-y, x)

Therefore, we have for the vertex point L;

f(L(6, -3)) = L'(3, 6)

4. We have, for a rotation of 90° counterclockwise about the origin we have

f(x, y) = (-y, x)

Therefore, we have for the vertex point M;

f(M(1, -3)) = M'(3, 1)

B one over five (m − 100)

C 5(m − 4)

D 5(m − 100)

HELP ASAP

Answers

Answer:

The equivalent to one over five m − 20 is one over five (m − 100) ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ One over five means [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

∴ One over five m - 20 = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] m - 20

→ By using the distributive property, take one over five as a common factor

  from both terms

∴ [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] m - 20 = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] [tex](\frac{\frac{1}{5}m}{\frac{1}{5}}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{20}{\frac{1}{5}})[/tex]

→ Simplify the bracket

∵  [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] m ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] m × 5 = m

∵ 20 ÷  [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]  = 20 × 5 = 100

∴  [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] [tex](\frac{\frac{1}{5}m}{\frac{1}{5}}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{20}{\frac{1}{5}})[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] (m - 100)

∴ [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] m - 20 = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] (m - 100)

The equivalent to one over five m − 20 is one over five (m − 100)
