Step-by-step explanation:
A candy company claims that 20% of the candies in its bags are colored green. Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects one candy from each, and counts the number of green candies. If there are 5, 6, or 7 green candies, Steve will conclude that the company’s claim is correct. What is the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim? Use a TI-83, TI-83 plus, or TI-84 calculator to find the probability.
Answer:
The probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X denote the number of green candies.
The probability of green candies is, p = 0.20.
Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects one candy from each, and counts the number of green candies.
So, n = 30 candies are randomly selected.
All the candies are independent of each other.
The random variable X follows a binomial distribution with parameter n = 30 and p = 0.20.
It is provided that if there are 5, 6, or 7 green candies, Steve will conclude that the company’s claim is correct.
Compute the probability of 5, 6 and 7 green candies as follows:
[tex]P(X=5)={30\choose 5}(0.20)^{5}(1-0.20)^{30-5}=0.17228\\\\P(X=6)={30\choose 6}(0.20)^{6}(1-0.20)^{30-6}=0.17946\\\\P(X=7)={30\choose 7}(0.20)^{7}(1-0.20)^{30-7}=0.15328[/tex]
Then the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is:
P (Accepting the claim) = P (X = 5) + P (X = 6) + P (X = 7)
= 0.17228 + 0.17946 + 0.15328
= 0.50502
Thus, the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.

The entry fee is $11, and the entrants make the recipes at home and vote for their favorite, which cannot be their own recipe. The top 2 finishers win money. First place wins $58, and second place wins $48. You give yourself an X chance of finishing in the top 2, and if you finish top 2, then you have an equal chance of finishing first or second.
Required:
What is x such that entering this tournament is a fair gamble for you as an expected value maximizer?
Answer:
The value is [tex]X = 0.1719 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The entry fee is [tex]a = \$ 11[/tex]
The outcome for first place is [tex]b = \$ 58[/tex]
The outcome for second place is [tex]c = \$ 48[/tex]
The outcome for losing is [tex] d = - \$ 11[/tex]
The chance of finishing in the top two is X
Given that there are equal chance of finishing first or second, then the chance of finishing first is [tex]\frac{X}{2}[/tex]
and the chance of finishing second is [tex]\frac{X}{2}[/tex]
Then the chance of losing(i.e not finishing in the first two) is [tex]1 - X[/tex]
given that the game is a fair gamble for the player as an expected maximizer then it mean is that the expected value of entering the tournament E(X) = 0
So
[tex]E(X) = b * \frac{X}{2} + c * \frac{X}{2} * d * ( 1 - X)[/tex]
=> [tex]0 = 58 * \frac{X}{2} + 48 * \frac{X}{2} * -11 * ( 1 - X)[/tex]
=> [tex]0 = \frac{58X}{2} + \frac{48X}{2} * -11 + 11X)[/tex]
=> [tex]X = \frac{64}{11}[/tex]
=> [tex]X = 0.1719 [/tex]

which function has the same domain as y=2_/x?
Answer:
A. y = square root of 2x
We are given the function
y = 2 √x
We are asked for the function that has the same domain as the given function
First, the domain for the given function is this
{ x | x ≥ 0 }
So, any function that has a domain of x that is equal to or greater than 0. Some examples:
f(x) = √x - 2
f(x) = 5 √x

Two student clubs plan to share a bus on a trip to the capital.Transportation and lunch for one day is 12 bucks per student.One club has 25 members and the other club has 18 members.What is the total cost of the trip
Answer:
516
Step-by-step explanation:
add 25 and 18 and you get 43 students if you have to pay 12 for every student you'd have to multiply 43 × 12 = 516 so the trip would be 516 in total

Sending text messages from Katrina's cell phone costs $0.18 per text message . From last monthshe has a credit on her bil for $9.00How much more money will she need to pay for text messages this month if she has sent 204 messages?
A. $ 29.22
B. $25.72
C.$36.72
D. $27.72
Answer:
D. $27.72
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculation for How much more money will she need to pay for text messages
First step is to the Total cost of sending 204 messages
Total cost=204 messages* $0.18 per text message
Total cost =$36.72
Last step is to compute for How much more money will she need to pay for text messages
Amount to be paid =$36.72-$9.00
Amount to be paid=$27.72
Therefore How much more money will she need to pay for text messages will be $27.72

Aloma, a university graduate who started a successful business, wants to start an endowment in her name that will provide scholarships to ChE students. She wants the scholarship to provide $13,000 per year and expects the first one to be awarded on the day she fulfills the endowment obligation. If Aloma plans to donate $240,000, what rate of return must the university realize in order to award the annual scholarship forever?
The rate of return that the university must realize in order to award the annual scholarship forever is _____%.
Answer:
5.73%
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculation for the rate of return that the university must realize
Using this formula
Rate of return = Initial payment/(Plan to donate- Initial payment)
Let plug in the formula
Rate of return=$13,000/($240,000-$13,000)
Rate of return=$13,000/$227,000
Rate of return=0.0573*100
Rate of return =5.73%
Therefore The rate of return that the university must realize in order to award the annual scholarship forever is 5.73 %.

Complete Question:
Determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, provide an explanation or give an example.
If f is decreasing on [a,b] then the minimum value of f(x) on [a,b] is f(a)?
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[a,b]
Where f(x) is decreasing
Required
Is the minimum f(a)?
This statement is false and it is proved using the following illustration
Take f(x) to be
[tex]f(x) = -2x[/tex]
The above represents a decreasing function because:
f(x) decreases as x increases
Having said that:
Assume [a,b] is:
[tex][a,b] = [2,5][/tex]
Substitute the value of a i.e. 2 for x in f(x)
[tex]f(2) = -2 * 2[/tex]
[tex]f(2) = -4[/tex]
Substitute the value of b i.e. 5 for x in f(x)
[tex]f(5) = -2 * 5[/tex]
[tex]f(5) = -10[/tex]
Notice that f(b) < f(a) i.e. -10 is less than -4
Hence:
f(x) is minimum at f(b)
Conclusively, the statement is false
.The annual yield per orange tree is fairly constant at 270 pounds per tree when the number of trees per acre is 30 or fewer. For each additional tree over 30, the annual yield per tree for all trees on the acre decreases by 3 pounds due to overcrowding. Find the number of orange trees per acre, x, that maximizes the total yield for an acre, T, in pounds. What is the total maximum yield in pounds of oranges
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the yield per hectare be Y and the number of orange trees per acre, x. For fewer than or 30 trees there is a yield of 270 pounds per tree, therefore:
Y(x) = 270 for x ≤ 30
If it is more than 30 trees the yield decreases by 3 pounds, hence:
Y(x) = 270 - 3(x - 30) = 360 - 3x for x > 30
The total yield T is given as T(x) = x × Y
T(x) = x × 270 = 270x for x ≤ 30
T(x) = x(360 - 3x) = 360x - 3x² for x > 30
The maximum yield is at T'(x) = 0
T'(x) = 360 - 6x
360 - 6x = 0
6x = 360
x = 360/6
x = 60
T(6) = 360(60) - 3(60²) = 10800 pounds
In the diagram below, the radii of the two concentric circles are 3 centimeters and 7 centimeters, respectively.
What is the area of the shaded region?
Answer:
125.6 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the shaded region = area of larger circle - area of the smaller circle
Area of the smaller circle = πr²
π = 3.14, r = 3 cm
Area of smaller circle = 3.14*3² = 3.14*9 = 28.26 cm²
Area of larger circle = πr²
π = 3.14, r = 7
Area of larger circle = 3.14*7² = 3.14*49 = 153.86 cm²
Area of the shaded region = 153.86 - 28.26 = 125.6 cm²
