Answers

Answer 1

In probability, A is 8 out of 16 and C is 3 out of 15.

What is probability explain?

The likelihood or chance that a specific event will occur is represented by a probability. Both proportions between 0 and 1 and percentages between 0% and 100% can be used to describe probabilities.

Out of the 17 counters in the bag 3 are yellow , 6 are red and the rest i.e., 17–3–6 or 8 nos.are green.

When selected randomly once one counter the probability of selecting one is

A. green is 8 out of 17 or 8/17 ,

B. getting a red one is 6 out of 17 or 6/17.

C. getting a yellow is 3 out of 17.

This is when the counter is put back in the bag for selecting.

If the selected one is not put back remaing counters are less by one each time it's drawn and then the probability figure is one out of 16 in the second case and one out of 15 for the third draw ime., then A is 8 out of 16 and C is 3 out of 15.

The equation of the line passing through the points: (3,-10.5) and (1,-7.5) is [tex]3x+2y+12=0.[/tex]      

How to find equation of a line by two-point form?

Every point on a line fulfills the equation of that line, which means that every point on the line represents every other point on the line.

The equation of a line passing through two-points [tex](x_{1} ,y_{1} )[/tex] and [tex](y_{1} ,y_{2} )[/tex] is given by the formula,

                  [tex]y-y_1= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

So, the equation of the line passing through the points (3,-10.5) and (1,-7.5) will be-

⇒[tex]y-(-10.5)=\frac{-7.5-(-10.5)}{1-3} *(x-3)[/tex]

⇒[tex]y+10.5=\frac{-7.5+10.5}{-2} *(x-3)[/tex]

The rejection region, or area of the rejection zone, is the significance level. The test's tail determines the direction of the rejection region. When the significance threshold is unknown, it is typically considered to be 5%.

What is rejection region ?

A collection of values for the test statistic for which the null hypothesis is rejected constitutes a critical zone, sometimes referred to as the rejection region. For example, if the observed test statistic is in the critical range, the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Consider the crucial value as a cut-off point at a particular importance level. If a test statistic falls on one side of the crucial value and leads to the null hypothesis being accepted, a test statistic falling on the other side will lead to the null hypothesis being rejected.

A set of values for the test statistic for which the null hypothesis is accepted is referred to as a confidence interval and is also referred to as the acceptance area. For example, if the observed test statistic is within the confidence interval, the null hypothesis is accepted and the alternative hypothesis is rejected.

Answers

Description of the function over each part of its domain is:

Slope = 0 and the domain is constant at (0,12000).Domain (12000, 38000) is declining with a negative slope.

What is a function?A function is a type of rule that produces one output for a single input. This is illustrated by the equation y=x2. Any input for x results in a single output for y. Considering that x is the input value, we would say that y is a function of x.

So, we examine the displayed graph.

The y values are constant from x = 0 to x = 12,000.

There is no increase or decrease in y's value; it is constant.Consequently, the graph's cost is constant from x=0 to x=12000.

So slope = 0.

Then,

Slope = 0 and the domain is constant at (0,12000).

The y values are decreasing from x = 12,000 to x = 38,000.The slope is negative for y values that are decreasing.The slope is therefore negative.

Domain (12000, 38000) is declining with a negative slope.

Answer:

Explanation:

To complete the missing values, we have to evaluate the function at the x-values given.

For example, to find the number below x = -1, we will put in x = -1 into y = (1/6)^x.

Putting in x = - 1 in y = (1/6)^x gives

[tex]y=(\frac{1}{6})^{-1}[/tex]

which simplifies to give

[tex]y=\frac{1}{1/6}[/tex][tex]\rightarrow y=6[/tex]

Similarly, for the missing value below x = -2, we put in x = - 2 into y = (1/6)^x to get

[tex]y=(\frac{1}{6})^{-2}[/tex]

which simplifies to give

[tex]y=\frac{1}{(1/6)^2}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \rightarrow y=6^2 \\ \rightarrow y=36 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Similarly, for the missing value below x = 2, we put in x = 2 in y = (1/6)^x to get

[tex]y=(\frac{1}{6})^2[/tex]

which simplifies to give

Technology required. Ramps in a parking garage need to beboth steep and safe. The maximum safe incline for a ramp is8.5 degrees. Is this ramp safe? If not, provide dimensions thatwould make the ramp safe.

Answers

Ok, so:

Let me draw the situation here below:

Ok, let's find the angle first:

For this, we shall make use of the trigonometric functions:

In this case, the most useful function which could help us to solve this problem is tan(x). This function relations the opposite side of the angle and its adjacent side, like this:

tan(x) = opposite side / adjacent side

So, if we replace the values:

tan(x) = 15/95

tan(x) = 0,15789474

To find x, we could use the inverse function of tan(x). This one is called arctan(x).

So, arctan(tan(x)) = arctan(0,15789474)

And this is:

x = 8.97 degrees

Now, we can affirm that the angle is 8.97 degrees, which is bigger than 8.5 degrees.

Now, what should be the length of the bottom for the ramp to be safe?

Let me draw the situation:

We know that the ramp is safe if the maximum safe incline is 8.5°. So, what should be the value of x for this occurs?

We use the trigonometric function tan(x) again.

tan(8.5°) = 15/x

Remember that tan(8.5°) is a number

Then, x = 15/tan(8.5°), and this is 100.36

So, we conclude that the lenght of the bottom should be at least, 100.36

Answers

A nail's length in x weeks of m=0.7 slope with a growth rate of mm per week b starting length follows.

The slope-intercept form of a straight-line equation is indicated by y = mx + b. X and y denote the line's distance from the x- and y-axes, respectively. When x = 0, the value of b equals y, and m indicates how steep the line is.

Given, r(0) = 12

According to the question, fingernail increases by 0.7 millimeters every week. So, m = 0.7 which is the slope of the equation of a straight line.

r(0) = 12 is the b of the y = mx + b.

Now, the final equation is:

r(x) = 0.7x + 12

14. If the surface area of the cone below is 628.32 m2, find its volume.

Answers

You have a cone with surface area of 628.32 m². In order to find the volume of the cone you use the following formula:

V= 1/3 π r² h

r: radius of the base of the cone = 15m/2 = 7.5m

h: heigth of the cone

Then, you have to calculate first the height of the cone. To do that, you use the information about the surface area. You use the following formula:

S = πr² + πrl

l: diagonal of the cone

Then, you have to find l, and then you can calculate hYou solve for l from the surface area formula:

l = (S - πr²)/πr = (628.32 - π(7.5)²)/(π(7.5))

l = 19.16

To calculate the heigth of the cone you use the Pythagoras theorem, just as follow:

h = √(l²-r²) = √((19.16)²-(7.5)²) = 17.63m

Next, you can replace the values of h and r into the formula for the Volume:

V= 1/3 π r² h = (1/3)π (7.5m)²(17.63m) = 1038.5m³

Hence, the volume of the given cone is 1038.49 m3

6 = 1/2 * 3 * height

12 = 3 * height

Height = 12/3

The height of triangle BAC is 4inches

Next is to get the height of EDF. Since they are both similar hence;

2/3 = h/4

3h = 2 * 4

3h = 8

h = 8/3

h = 8/3in

Hence the height of triangle EDF is 8/3in

Get the area of triangle EDF

Area of triangle EDF = 1/2 * 2 * 8/3

Area of triangle EDF = 8/3 square inches

Hence the area of triangle EDF is 8/3square inches

Find the value of x and y in which each quadrilateral mist be a parallelogram.

Answers

Recall the property of parallelograms that tell us that the diagonals intercept producing equal segments in each of them. Then, as the diagonals intercept in the midpoint of each diagonal, then we can create the following equations and solve them one at a time (making the measure of one segment equal the value on the other half of the diagonal):

5 y - 4 = 36 then we solve here for y

add 4 to both sides

5 y = 36 + 4

5 y = 40

divide both sides by 5

y = 40 / 5

y = 8

Now the second equation:

4 x - 10 = 18

add 10 on both sides

4 x = 28

divide both sides by 4 to isolate x

x = 28 / 4

x = 7

8. For every 1,000 feet above sea level, the air temperature decreases by 4°F.The highest natural point in Texas is Guadalupe Peak at 8,751 feet. If thetemperature at sea level is 76°F, what is the temperature near the summit at8,000 feet? (Example 4)

Answers

Answer

The temperature at an altitude of 8,000 feet is 44° F

SOLUTION

Problem Statement

The question tells us that air temperature drops by 4 degrees Fahrenheit for every 1,000 feet above sea level. We are asked to calculate the temperature at 8,000 feet, close to the summit of Guadalupe Peak.

Solution

To solve this question, we simply compute the temperature changes for each 1,000 increase in height and then generalize. With the generalization, we can find the temperature at any height.

The temperature at 0 feet is 76°F (At sea level)

The temperature at 1,000 feet is 76°F - 4°F = 72° F

The temperature at 2,000 feet (2 x 1,000 feet) is 76°F - 4°F - 4°F (76°F - 2 x 4°F)

The temperature at 3,000 feet (3 x 1,000 feet) is 76°F - 4° F - 4° F - 4° F (76° F - 3 x 4° F)

And so on.

We can see a pattern developing and with this pattern, we can make a generalization about the temperature decrease for every increase in altitude.

[tex]\begin{gathered} The\text{ temperature at }n\times1,000\text{ feet is (}76^o-n\times4^o)F \\ \text{where,} \\ n=A\text{ whole number starting from zero} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, we can solve the question by substituting n = 8 for an altitude of 8,000 feet. This is done below:

8 x 1000 feet = 8,000 feet is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 76^oF-8\times4^{o\text{ }}F \\ 76^oF-32^oF \\ =44^oF \end{gathered}[/tex]

Final Answer

The temperature at an altitude of 8,000 feet is 44° F
