the temperature was -20 degrees in the morning when Rae woke up. At dinner time, the temperature shows 35 degrees. What was the change in temperature from the time Rae woke up un dinner time? Draw a picture and write an equation to solve.​

Answers

Answer 1

The change in temperature is 15°

How to find Change in temperature ?

If temperature rise then Change in temperature ,

        t₂ = t₁ + final temperature

If temperature dropped then Change in temperature ,t₂ = t₁ - final temperature

We have given,

In morning, when Rae woke up the temperature is (t₁) = -20°

At dinner time, the temperature is = 35°

t₂ = t₁ + 35

t₂ = (-20) + 35

t₂ = 15°

Hence, the change in temperature is 15°

A) 390 pretzels
B) 350 pretzels
C) 700 pretzels
D) 1.4 pretzels

Answers

Answer:

B) 350 pretzels

=====================

Given

Function P(x) = - 0.004x² + 2.8x - 100

To find

The value of x, which makes the P(x) maximum

Solution

This is a quadratic function and it can get maximum at vertex.

The x-coordinate of the vertex is determined by x = - b/(2a).

We have:

a = - 0.004 and b = 2.8

Find the value of x:

x = - 2.8 / (2* (-0.004)) = 350

Correct choice is B.

assume that each of 2000 frogss living near a nuclear power plant is exposed to particles of a certain kind of radiation at an average rate of one per week. suppose that each hit by a particle is harmless with probability 1 - 10-5 , and produces a tumor with probability 10-5 . find the approximate distribution of

Answers

distribution of the total number of tumors produced in the whole population over a one-year period by this kind of radiation is 0, 1, 2, ..................104000.

let, x denote the total number of hits,

y denotes the number of hits by a particle in a year or an individual,

one per week ⇒ 52 per year

therefore, rate = 52 per year

since it is very rare to hit all individuals, we can use Poisson distribution.

therefore by using the formula p (x = x) = (e^(-rate) × rateˣ) ÷ x! ; x = 0, 1, 2, ............( 2000 × 52)

p (x = 2) = (e⁻⁵² × 52ˣ) ÷ x! ; x = 0, 1, 2, ............104000

now each hit has a harm of probability 10⁻⁵.

so p(total no. of tumors produced over a one year period)

= {e⁻⁵² × 52ˣ} ÷ x! × 10⁻⁵ ; x = 0, 1, 2, ............104000

therefore total no. of tumors = 2000 × (e⁻⁵² × [tex]52^{x.10^{-5} }[/tex] ) ÷ x!  × xⁿ ; x = 0, 1, 2, ............104000

By using the concept of Probability, the result obtained is -

What is Probability?

Probability gives us the information about how likely an event is going to occur

Probability is calculated by Number of favourable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.

Probality of any event is greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to 1.

Probability of sure event is 1 and probability of unsure event is 0.

There are 10 numbers from 1 to 10

Number of favourable outcomes = 10 [tex]\times[/tex] 9 [tex]\times[/tex] 8

Answers

The simplest form of the expression has 4 in the numerator and (x-2) in the denominator.

What are numerator and denominator?

The numerator indicates the total number of selected equal parts. Whereas, the denominator indicates the total number of equal parts.

       We have the expression

     3/(x-2) + (x-2) / (x²-4x+4)

Simplifying   x²- 4x +4  gives (x-2)².

Therefore, we can write the expression as

  3/(x-2) + (x-2)/(x-2)² = 3/(x-2) + 1/(x-2)  

          = 4/(x-2).

Therefore, the simplest form of the expression has 4 in the numerator and (x-2) in the denominator.

Find an expression for d so the line that passes through (a, b) and (c, d) has a slope of 1/2

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the book, they gave you the values of 'a', 'b', and 'c', and you're supposed to find the value of 'd'.

If you have two points on the line, then the slope of the line is

                      (the change in 'y') divided by (the change in 'x') .

If the two points are (a, b) and (c, d), then the slope of the line is

                      (d - b) divided by (c - a),

and you have to find the value of 'd' that makes that whole expression

equal to 1/2.

                                     (d - b) / (c - a) = 1/2

Multiply each side by  (c - a):     (d - b) = 1/2(c - a)

Add 'b' to each side:                    d        =  1/2(c - a)  +  b

If you know the values of 'a', 'b', and 'c', you can find the value of 'd'.

The equation of a line is y = mx +b

m = slope - which is equal to 1

x = x coordinate

b = y intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

y = y coordinate.

The point (2, 0) shows that when x = 2, y = 0. So we can plug that into the equation:

0 = 1(2) + b

0 = 2 + b

0 - 2 = 2 -2 +b

-2 = b

So the equation of the line is y = x - 2

Jerry's seed palace claims that 80% of its lima bean seeds will germinate. Suppose the company's claim is true. Callie buys a packet with 20 lima bean seeds from jerry's seed palace and plants them in her garden. What is the probability that exactly 14 seeds will germinate?.

Answers

The probability that exactly 14 seeds will germinate is 0.109

According to the company, 80% of lima bean seeds germinate.

Callie purchases 20 lima beans.

To determine: the likelihood that exactly 14 seeds will germinate.

We use the binomial distribution to obtain the required probability when we need to track the success and failure of multiple objects (multiple Bernoulli trials)

Let X be the random variable that tracks the number of seeds that germinate out of a total of 20 seeds. The success rate is 80%, or 0.8.

Thus X ~ B(20,0.8)

The probability of X = x is given by:

P(X=x) = 20[tex]C_{x}[/tex][tex](0.8)^{x}[/tex][tex](1-0.8)^{20-x}[/tex]

Thus

P(X=14) = 20[tex]C_{14}[/tex][tex](0.8)^{14}[/tex][tex](1-0.8)^{20-14}[/tex]

P(X=14) = 38760 × 0.04398 × 0.000064 = 0.109

In the triangle ABC, the side lengths, in order from the greatest to the least, are : AC > AB > BC.

We are given a triangle. The vertices of the triangle are A, B, and C. The measures of the angles ∠A, ∠B, and ∠C are 36°, 84°, and 60°, respectively. We need to arrange the side lengths in order from the greatest to the least.

The side lengths are proportional to their opposing angles in a triangle. It means that the side opposite the largest angle is the largest side, and vice versa. The angles arranged in descending order are : 84° > 60° > 36°. The angles arranged in descending order according to the vertices are : B > C > A. The order of the lengths of the opposite sides must be the same.

Cora is playing a game that involves flipping three coins at once. Let the random variable hhh be the number of coins that land showing "heads". Here is the probability distribution for hhh:.

Answers

Cora is flipping three coins at once. The probability that the number of landed coins showing "heads" is less than 3 is 0.875

Probability is a measure how likely an event occurs. Probability of an event A is calculated as:

P(A) = number of ways A can occur / total possible outcomes

Let A and B be independent events, then the followings hold:

P (A and B) = P (A∩B) = P(A) + P(B)

P (A or B) = P (A∪B) = P(A) · P(B)

P (not A) = P(Ā) = 1 - P(A)

In the given problem, H is an event where the number of landed coins showing heads.

The probability distribution for H is:

P(H = 0) = 0.125

P(H = 1) = 0.375

P(H = 2) = 0.375

P(H = 3) = 0.125

The probability of three coins show heads less than 3 is:

P(H < 3) = 1 - P(H=3)

             = 1 - 0.125 = 0.875

It can also be obtained using:

P(H<3) = P(H=0) + P(H=1) + P(H=2)

           = 0.125 + 0.375 + 0.375

           = 0.875

Hence, the probability of three coins show heads less than 3 is 0.875.
