Answer:

3)0.003505

Step-by-step explanation:

Total No. of question n= 10

There are four choices in each question

So, Probability of success [tex]p = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Probability of failure q  = [tex]1- \frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

We will use binomial over here

[tex]P(X=x)=^nC_r p^r q^{n-r}[/tex]

1)

[tex]P(X = 3)=^{10}C_3 (\frac{1}{4})^3 (\frac{3}{4})^7\\P(X = 3)=\frac{10!}{3!7!} (\frac{1}{4})^3 (\frac{3}{4})^7\\P(X = 3)=0.2502[/tex]

2)  [tex]P(X > 2)=1-P(X\leq 2)[/tex]

P(X>2)=1-(P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2))

[tex]P(X>2)=1-(^{10}C_0 (\frac{1}{4})^0 (\frac{3}{4})^{10}+(^{10}C_1 (\frac{1}{4})^1 (\frac{3}{4})^9+^{10}C_2 (\frac{1}{4})^2 (\frac{3}{4})^8)[/tex]

[tex]P(X>2)=1-((\frac{1}{4})^0 (\frac{3}{4})^{10}+(\frac{10!}{1!9!} (\frac{1}{4})^1 (\frac{3}{4})^9+\frac{10!}{2!8!} (\frac{1}{4})^2 (\frac{3}{4})^8)[/tex]

P(X>2)=0.475

3)

[tex]P(X\geq 7)=P(X=7)+P(X=8)+P(X=9)+P(X=10)\\\\P(X\geq 7)=^{10}C_7 (\frac{1}{4})^7 (\frac{3}{4})^{3}+(^{10}C_8 (\frac{1}{4})^8 (\frac{3}{4})^2+^{10}C_9 (\frac{1}{4})^9 (\frac{3}{4})^1+^{10}C_{10} (\frac{1}{4})^{10} (\frac{3}{4})^0\\\\P(X\geq 7)=\frac{10!}{7!3!} (\frac{1}{4})^7 (\frac{3}{4})^{3}+\frac{10!}{8!2!} (\frac{1}{4})^8 (\frac{3}{4})^2+\frac{10!}{9!1!} (\frac{1}{4})^9 (\frac{3}{4})^1+\frac{10!}{10!0!}(\frac{1}{4})^{10} (\frac{3}{4})^0\\\\P(X\geq 7)=0.003505[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

8.845 units

Step-by-step explanation:

First start by plotting the points on a graph. Doing so will give you two points that you can connect and then turn into a triangle. Find the length and height of the triangle by counting how many units long each is. The length should be 6 units, while the height should also be 6 units. You can then use the pythagorean theorum to find the length of b to c:

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

6^2  + 6^2 = C^2

36 + 36 = C^2

72 = C^2

C = 8.845 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A food-protection agency counts the number of insect heads found per 100-gram batch of wheat flour. The researchers have 500 batches, and they want to know whether the frequency of insect heads in batches follows a distribution called a Poisson distribution. To generate the expected frequencies of batches with different numbers of insect heads under a Poisson distribution, they had to estimate the mean number of insect heads per batch from the data. The 500 batches included at least 5 batches having 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 insect heads. No batches had more than four heads. Given this information, there are_____classes (k).

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is k = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chi-square goodness of fit test would be used to determine whether the frequency of insect heads in batches follows a distribution called a Poisson distribution.

The hypothesis for the test can be defined as follows:

H₀: The frequency of insect heads in batches does not follows a Poisson distribution.

Hₐ: The frequency of insect heads in batches follows a Poisson distribution.

Assume that the significance level of the test is, α = 0.05.

The Chi-square test statistic is given by:

[tex]\chi^{2}=\sum\limits^{k}_{i=1}\frac{(O_{i}-E_{i})^{2}}{E_{i}}[/tex]

It is provided that the 500 batches included at least 5 batches having 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 insect heads. No batches had more than four heads.

So, the number of classes or categories are, k = 5.

Thus, the correct answer is k = 5.

in exercises 15-20 find the vector component of u along a and the vecomponent of u orthogonal to a u=(2,1,1,2) a=(4,-4,2,-2)

Answers

Answer:

The component of [tex]\vec u[/tex] orthogonal to [tex]\vec a[/tex] is [tex]\vec u_{\perp\,\vec a} = \left(\frac{9}{5},\frac{6}{5},\frac{9}{10},\frac{21}{10}\right)[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]\vec u[/tex] and [tex]\vec a[/tex], from Linear Algebra we get that component of [tex]\vec u[/tex] parallel to [tex]\vec a[/tex] by using this formula:

[tex]\vec u_{\parallel \,\vec a} = \frac{\vec u \bullet\vec a}{\|\vec a\|^{2}} \cdot \vec a[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Where [tex]\|\vec a\|[/tex] is the norm of [tex]\vec a[/tex], which is equal to [tex]\|\vec a\| = \sqrt{\vec a\bullet \vec a}[/tex]. (Eq. 2)

If we know that [tex]\vec u =(2,1,1,2)[/tex] and [tex]\vec a=(4,-4,2,-2)[/tex], then we get that vector component of [tex]\vec u[/tex] parallel to [tex]\vec a[/tex] is:

[tex]\vec u_{\parallel\,\vec a} = \left[\frac{(2)\cdot (4)+(1)\cdot (-4)+(1)\cdot (2)+(2)\cdot (-2)}{4^{2}+(-4)^{2}+2^{2}+(-2)^{2}} \right]\cdot (4,-4,2,-2)[/tex]

[tex]\vec u_{\parallel\,\vec a} =\frac{1}{20}\cdot (4,-4,2,-2)[/tex]

[tex]\vec u_{\parallel\,\vec a} =\left(\frac{1}{5},-\frac{1}{5},\frac{1}{10},-\frac{1}{10} \right)[/tex]

Lastly, we find the vector component of [tex]\vec u[/tex] orthogonal to [tex]\vec a[/tex] by applying this vector sum identity:

[tex]\vec u_{\perp\,\vec a} = \vec u - \vec u_{\parallel\,\vec a}[/tex] (Eq. 3)

If we get that [tex]\vec u =(2,1,1,2)[/tex] and [tex]\vec u_{\parallel\,\vec a} =\left(\frac{1}{5},-\frac{1}{5},\frac{1}{10},-\frac{1}{10} \right)[/tex], the vector component of [tex]\vec u[/tex] is:

[tex]\vec u_{\perp\,\vec a} = (2,1,1,2)-\left(\frac{1}{5},-\frac{1}{5},\frac{1}{10},-\frac{1}{10} \right)[/tex]

[tex]\vec u_{\perp\,\vec a} = \left(\frac{9}{5},\frac{6}{5},\frac{9}{10},\frac{21}{10}\right)[/tex]

The component of [tex]\vec u[/tex] orthogonal to [tex]\vec a[/tex] is [tex]\vec u_{\perp\,\vec a} = \left(\frac{9}{5},\frac{6}{5},\frac{9}{10},\frac{21}{10}\right)[/tex].

Harold balance in his savings account was $10,000. The savings account earns annual simple interest. At the end of 3 yeah, the balance of the account was $11,875. If Harold did not make additional deposits or withdrawals, what was the approximate annual interest rate on the savings account?​

Answers

Answer:

In the simplest of words, $1,000 at 1% interest per year would yield $1,010 at the end of the year. But that is simple interest, paid only on the principal. Money in savings accounts will earn compound interest, where the interest is calculated based on the principal and all accumulated interest.

Answers

Answer:

Diverges

Step-by-step explanation:

an = 7 / n^(1 + 1/n)

As n approaches infinity, an approaches 7 / n.

bn = 7 / n

Apply Limit Comparison Test.

lim(n→∞) an / bn

= lim(n→∞) [7 / n^(1 + 1/n)] / (7 / n)

= lim(n→∞) n / n^(1 + 1/n)

= lim(n→∞) 1 / n^(1/n)

= lim(n→∞) 1 / n⁰

= 1

The limit is greater than 0, and bn diverges, so an also diverges.

The answer is 150.
I need to show my work.

THANKSSSS

Answers

Answer:

x = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

We know a circle is 360°, so the angles must add up to 60°.

Step 1: Set up equation

x - 120 + x - 120 = 60

Step 2: Solve for x

Combine like terms: 2x - 240 = 60Add 240 on both sides: 2x = 300Divide both sides by 2: x = 150

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it is correct.

150 - 120 = 30°

150 - 120 = 30°

30° + 30° = 60°

60° + 300° = 360°

C. An arithmetic sequence is an exponential function whose domain is restricted to the set of non-negative integers.
D. A geometric sequence is an exponential function whose domain is restricted to the set of non-negative integers.

Answers

Answer:

A and D.  

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is a set of the objects or numbers in a specific order. It is a function whose domain is a set of natural numbers or non-negative integers i.e. {1, 2, 3,..}

(A)

"An arithmetic sequence is a linear function whose domain is restricted to the set of non-negative integers."  

The general form an arithmetic sequence is:

[tex]a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d[/tex]

The function is linear. The sequence consists of either numbers that are increasing or decreasing based on the value of d, the common difference.

So, the statement provided is True.

(D)

"A geometric sequence is an exponential function whose domain is restricted to the set of non-negative integers."

The general form an geometric sequence is:

[tex]a_{n}=a_{1}\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

The function is exponential. The sequence consists of either numbers that are exponentially increasing or decreasing by the factor r, the common ratio.

So, the statement provided is True.

А At a concessan stand l hot dog and one hamburger cost $4.One hotdog and
5
Hamburgers cost $13
Find the cost of one hot dog and the cost of one hamburger ?

Answers

Answer:

2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be cost of a hotdog

let y be cost of hamburger

 

so,

 

5x + 4y = 17.75                    eq. 1

4x + 5y = 18.25                    eq. 2

 

manipulate eq. 1 so solve for x:

 

5x = 17.75 - 4y

 

x = 17.75/5 - (4/5)y

 

x = 3.55 - (4/5)y                  eq. 3

 

substitute eq. 3 to eq. 2:

 

4(3.55 - (4/5)y) + 5y = 18.25

 

14.2 - (16/5)y + 5y = 18.25

 

14.2 + (9/5)y = 18.25

 

(9/5)y = 18.25 - 14.2

 

4.05= (9/5)y

 

y = 2.25

 

x = 3.55 - (4/5)(2.25)

 

x = 1.75

 

hotdog costs $1.75

hamburger costs $2.25
