Alison Bender works for an accounting firm. To make sure her work does not contain errors, her manager randomly checks on her work. Alison recently filled out 12 income tax returns for the company's clients. Unknown to anyone, two of these 12 returns have minor errors. Alison's manager randomly selects three returns from these 12 returns. Find the probability that (a) Fewer than 2 of them contains errors

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Alison Bender and Income Tax Returns

The probability that fewer than 2 of the returns contains errors is:

8.333%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of income tax returns filed by Alison = 12

Number of returns with minor errors = 2

Percentage of returns with minor errors = 2/12 = 16.67%

Random sampling of returns by Alison's manager = 3/12 = 25%

Fewer than 2 = 1

The probability of 1 error in 12 returns = 1/12 = 0.08333

= 8.333%

b) Since Alison's manager randomly selects three returns from the 12 to check for errors, the probability of discovering the errors is 25% (3/12).  However, the probability that less than 2 contains errors = 8.333% (1/12).

What is an Equation of a line?

The equation of a line is expressed as y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

And y - y₁ = m ( x - x₁ )

y = y-coordinate of second point

y₁ = y-coordinate of point one

m = slope

x = x-coordinate of second point

x₁ = x-coordinate of point one

The slope m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

Given data ,

Let the equation of line be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

Let y represent the distance of the robot

Let x represent the time taken

Let the first point be P ( 1 , 10 )

Let the second point be Q ( 2 , 20 )

Now , the slope of the line is m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

The slope of the line will give the speed of the robot

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

Slope m = ( 20 - 10 ) / ( 2 - 1 )

m = 10 feet per minute

Hence , the speed is 10 feet/min

A plane set off to Portland at a speed of 232 mph. On the
return flight of 12 hours, the plane cruised at 204 mph.
How many hours long was the flight to Portland?

Answers

Answer:

The flight to Portland takes 10.6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the time of flight to Portland we need to calculate the distance traveled by using the equation:

[tex] x = v*t [/tex]

Where:

v: is the speed = 204 mph (return flight)

t: is the time = 12 h (return flight)

[tex] x = v*t = 204 mi/h*12 h = 2448 mi [/tex]

Now, we can find the time of flight to Portland using v = 232 mph:

[tex]t = \frac{x}{v} = \frac{2448 mi}{232 mi/h} = 10.6 h[/tex]

Therefore, the flight to Portland takes 10.6 hours.

What are the possible numbers of positive, negative, and complex zeros of f(x) = −x6 − x5 − x4 − 4x3 − 12x2 + 12

Answers

Answer:

Positive roots = 1 or 0

Negative roots = 0, 2, or 4

Complex roots = 0, 2, 4, or 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the polynomial:

f(x) = -x⁶ - x⁵ - x⁴ - 4x³ − 12x² + 12

Now, by inspection, the highest degree is 6 and as such the polynomial is therefore a polynomial with more than 2 as a degree.

Applying Descartes Rule of Signs to the polynomial :

f(x) = -x⁶ - x⁵ - x⁴ - 4x³ − 12x² + 12

Signs are: - - - - - +

There is only 1 sign change and thus, it means there is 1 or 0 positive roots

To find number of negative roots, we will use f(-x);

f(−x) = -(−x)⁶ - (−x)⁵ - (−x)⁴ - 4(−x)³ − 12(−x)² + 12(−x)

f(-x) = -x⁶ + x⁵ - x⁴ + 4x³ − 12x² - 12

Signs are: - + - + - -

There are 4 sign changes and thus, it means there are 4, 2 or 0 negative roots

Thus; Complex roots = 0, 2, 4, or 6

Answers

Answer:

g = 21

h = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

3g + 5 + 6g - 14 = 180 (since they are adjacent angles and will equal 180)

Simplify to get g = 21.

Substitute 21 for g in 3g + 5 and set that equal to 9h - 4 and solve for h to get 8 (since they are opposite angles and will equal each other)

Answer:g=21 h = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

That's a rhombus supposedly so the opposite angles are congruent.

This means 9h-4=3g+5 Also the opposite sides of a rhombus add up to 180 degrees, so 3g+5+6g-14=180

9g=,189 g = 21

now plug this into the first equation

9h-4=3(21)+5

9h-4=63+5

9h=72

h=8

Answers

Answer:

Based on the number of cookies each girl made and if Kristina and Liz made the same number of cookies, then Heather made 4.2 dozen cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the number of cookies that Heather made, you need to set up two equations that represent the number of cookies that Kristina and Liz each made.  Since Kristina made 2.4 dozen less than 6 times as many dozen as Heather, we can represent that with the equation  6c - 2.4.  Since Liz made 1.8 dozen more than 5 times as many dozen as Heather, we can represent that with the equation 5c + 1.8.  We can set both equations equal to each other since Liz and Kristina made the same number, so 6c - 2.4 = 5c + 1.8.  Solving for 'c', which represents how many dozen cookies Heather made, we get 4.2  

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (6,3) and is parallel to
the line x + 3y = 24?

Answers

Answer:

x + 3 y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

line is paralle that means that coefficient next to x mand y must be the same

so the equation of the line will be

x + 3y = a

we have to find a, we know that line passes throgh (6,3) so

6 + 3 * 3 = a

a = 15

the line has an equation

x + 3 y = 15
