Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 3.55

(b) 3.45 and 1.86

(c) 0.25

(d) 0.016

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X denotes the number of people in a group (party) at a restaurant.

(a)

The formula to compute the mean is:

[tex]\mu=\sum {x\cdot P(X=x)}[/tex]

Consider the Excel sheet attached.

The mean is, 3.55.

(b)

The formula to compute the variance is:

[tex]\sigma^{2}=[\sum {x^{2}\cdot P(X=x)}]-(\mu)^{2}[/tex]

Consider the Excel sheet attached.

Compute the variance as follows:

[tex]\sigma^{2}=[\sum {x^{2}\cdot P(X=x)}]-(\mu)^{2}\\\\=16.05-(3.55)^{2}\\\\=3.4475\\\\\approx 3.45[/tex]

The variance is, 3.45.

Compute the standard deviation as follows:

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{\sigma^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{3.45}\\\\=1.85742\\\\\approx 1.86[/tex]

The standard deviation is, 1.86.

(c)

Compute the probability that the next party will be over 4 people as follows:

[tex]P(X>4)=P(X=5)+P(X=6)+P(X=7)+P(X=8)\\\\=0.10+0.05+0.05+0.05\\\\=0.25[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the next party will be over 4 people is 0.25.

(d)

Compute the probability that the next three parties will each be over 4 people as follows:

It is provided that the three parties are independent.

P (Next 3 parties will be each over 4) = [P (X > 4)]³

                                                           [tex]=(0.25)^{3}\\=0.015625\\\approx 0.016[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the next three parties will each be over 4 people is 0.016.

Write an equation, in slope-intercept form,
for a line that passes through points (-4, 1)

Answers

Answer:

y = (3/2)x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

(−4, 1) and (−2, 4)

 

slope m = rise/run = (4-1)/(-2-(-4)) = 3/2

 

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b

where m=slope, b = y-inercept

 

y = (3/2)x + b

 

Use one of the given points for (x,y) to find b

 

1 = (3/2)(-4) + b

a. Suppose a BMW dealer in Fullerton, CA is trying to calculate the probability of his car sale for next week. The dealer knows that the sale of car is normally distributed with mean 50 and variance 9. The variance 9 was calculated from the weekly car sale data of 20 weeks, as the population variance is not known to the dealer. What is the probability that the dealer will sell 51 or more cars next week? (Hint: use t distribution) (15)

Answers

Answer:

0.45576

Step-by-step explanation:

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

Standard Deviation = √variance

Mean = 50

= √9

= 3

z = 51 - 50/3

= 0.11111

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<51) = 0.54424

P(x>51) = 1 - P(x<51)

= 1 - 0.54424

= 0.45576

The probability that the dealer will sell 51 or more cars is 0.45576

There are 100 students at a school and three dormitories A, B, and C with capacities of 25, 35, and 40, respectively.

Required:
a. How many ways are there to fill up the dormitories?
b. Suppose that, of the 100 students, 50 are men and 50 arewomen and that A is an all-men's dorm, B is an all-women's dorm andC is co-ed. How many ways are there to fill thedormitories?

Answers

Answer:

a

[tex]N = 7.0 *10^{44} \ Ways [/tex]

b

[tex]U  = 2.85 *10^{26}\  ways [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The number of students are  n =  100

    The number of dormitories  is  k =  3

    The capacity of the first dormitory is  A =  25

     The capacity of the second dormitory is  B =  35

      The capacity of the third dormitory is  c =  40

Generally the number of way to fill the dormitory up is mathematically represented as

      [tex]N  =  \frac{n!}{A! B!C!}[/tex]

=>   [tex]N  =  \frac{100!}{25! 35! 40!}[/tex]

Here ! stands for factorial, so we will be making use of the factorial functionality in our calculators to  evaluated the above equation

=>   [tex]N  =  \frac{100!}{25! 35! 40!}[/tex]

[tex]N = \frac{9.332622* 10^{157}}{[1.551121* 10^{25}]* [1.0333148* 10^{40}] * [8.1591528*10^{47}]}[/tex]

[tex]N = 7.0 *10^{44} \ Ways [/tex]

From the question we are told that there are 50 men and  50  women and

     A is  all-men's dorm and  B is all-women's dorm while C is co-ed

So

When A is filled , the number of men that will be remaining to fill dorm C is  50-25 = 25

While when B is filled the number of women that will be remaining to fill dorm C is   50-35 = 15

Generally the number of ways there to fill the dormitories is equivalent to the number of ways of selecting the 25 men and 35 women to fill dormitory A and B plus one more way which is filling dorm C with the remaining students this is  mathematically represented as  

       [tex]U  =  ^{50}C_{35} * ^{50}C_{25}  +  1[/tex]

Here C stands for combination hence we will be making use of the combination functionality in our calculators

     [tex]U  = 2.250829575* ^{12}  * 1.264106064 * 10^{14} +  1[/tex]

=>    [tex]U  = 2.85 *10^{26}\  ways [/tex]

In a certain​ chemical, the ratio of zinc to copper is 4 to 17 . A jar of the chemical contains 663 of copper. How many grams of zinc does it​ contain?

Answers

Answer:

The jar contains 156 grams of zinc

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios

Let's call

Z=gr of zinc

C=gr of copper

We know the ratio between them in a certain chemical is:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{Z}{C}=\frac{4}{17}[/tex]

The jar of the chemical contains C=663 gr of copper. Calculate the grams of zinc by solving the above relation for Z:

Multiplying by C:

[tex]\displaystyle Z=\frac{4}{17}\cdot C[/tex]

Substituting the value of C:

[tex]\displaystyle Z=\frac{4}{17}\cdot 663[/tex]

Z=156 gr

The jar contains 156 grams of zinc

Suppose that a tea company estimates that its monthly cost is C(c) = 500x² + 100x and its monthly revenue is R(2) = -0.6x3 + 700x2 – 400x + 300, where x is in thousands of boxes of tea sold. The profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost. What is the profit function, p(X)?
O A. P(x) = 0.6x3- 200x2 + 500x+ - 300

OB. P(x) = -0.6x3 + 1200x2 – 300x + 300

O C. P(x) = -0.6x3 + 200x2 – 500x + 300

D. P(xl = 0.6x3 + 200x2 – 500x + 300​

Answers

Answer:

p(x) = 0.6x³ - 200x² + 500x- 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the cost function and revenue function as:

C(x) = 500x² + 100x

R(x) = -0.6x³ + 700x² – 400x + 300

To get the profit function:

p(x) = C(x) - R(x)

p(x) = 500x² + 100x -(-0.6x³ + 700x² – 400x + 300)

open the parenthesis

p(x) = 500x² + 100x + 0.6x³ - 700x² + 400x - 300

p(x) = + 0.6x³+500x² - 700x² + 100x+ 400x- 300

p(x) = 0.6x³ - 200x² + 500x- 300

Hence the profit function is expressed as p(x) = 0.6x³ - 200x² + 500x- 300

The given situation represent the problem of a ratio and it is predicted to do the simplify the ratio by determining the smallest possible values

Here it can be presented 60:36 as a fraction i.e. [tex]\frac{60}{36}[/tex]

Now the fraction should be fall by dividing both the numerator and denominator by a common factor i.e. 6

Now after dividing it, the fraction would be [tex]\frac{10}{6}[/tex]

Now it can be further reduced by a common factor i.e. 2

So now the fraction is [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Thus, the ratio is 5:2

What is the leading coefficient of a third degree polynomial function that has an output of 1,272 when x=2, and has zeros of −6, 7i, and −7i?

Answers

Answer:

The leading coefficient is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Polynomials

Given the roots of a polynomial x1,x2,x3, it can be expressed as:

[tex]p(x)=a(x-x1)(x-x2)(x-x3)[/tex]

Where a is the leading coefficient.

We are given the roots x1=-6, x2=7i, x3=-7i, thus:

[tex]p(x)=a(x+6)(x-7i)(x+7i)[/tex]

Operating the product of the conjugated imaginary roots:

[tex]p(x)=a(x+6)(x^2+49)[/tex]

Knowing p(2)=1,272 we can find the value of a

[tex]p(2)=a(2+6)(4+49)=1,272[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]a(8)(53)=1,272[/tex]

[tex]424a=1,272[/tex]

Solving:

[tex]a=1,272/424[/tex]

a=3
