A contractor is required by a county planning department to submit 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 forms (depending on the nature of the project) when applying for a building permit. Let y denote the number of forms required for an application, and suppose the mass function is given by p(y) 5 cy for y 5 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Determine the value of c, as well as the long-run proportion of applications that require at most three forms and the long-run proportion that require between two and four forms, inclusive.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex](a)\ c = \frac{1}{15}[/tex]

[tex](b)\ 40\%[/tex]

[tex](c)\ 60\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters can be represented as:

[tex]P_Y(y) \ge 0, y =1,2,3,4,5[/tex]

[tex]P_y(y) = cy, y=1,2,3,4,5[/tex]

Solving (a): The value of c

To do this, we make use of the following rule;

[tex]\sum\limit^5_{y=1}P_Y(y_i) = 1[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]P_y(y) = cy, y=1,2,3,4,5[/tex]

This is translated to:

[tex]c*1 + c * 2 + c * 3 + c * 4 + c * 5 = 1[/tex]

[tex]c + 2c + 3c + 4c + 5c = 1[/tex]

[tex]15c = 1[/tex]

Solve for c

[tex]c = \frac{1}{15}[/tex]

(b) The proportions of applications that requires at most 3 forms

This implies that: y = 1,2,3

So, we make use of:

[tex]P(Y \le 3) = P(Y=1) + P(y=2) + P(Y=3)[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]P_y(y) = cy, y=1,2,3,4,5[/tex]

Substitute [tex]c = \frac{1}{15}[/tex]

[tex]P_y(y) =\frac{1}{15}y[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(Y \le 3) = P(Y=1) + P(y=2) + P(Y=3)[/tex]

[tex]P(Y\le 3) = \frac{1}{15} * 1 +\frac{1}{15} * 2 +\frac{1}{15} * 3[/tex]

[tex]P(Y\le 3) = \frac{1}{15} +\frac{2}{15} +\frac{3}{15}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]P(Y\le 3) = \frac{1+2+3}{15}[/tex]

[tex]P(Y\le 3) = \frac{6}{15}[/tex]

[tex]P(Y\le 3) = 0.4[/tex]

Express as percentage

[tex]P(Y\le 3) = 0.4*100\%[/tex]

[tex]P(Y\le 3) = 40\%[/tex]

(c) The proportions of applications that requires between 2 and 4 forms (inclusive)

This implies that: y = 2,3,4

So, we make use of:

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = P(Y=2) + P(Y=3) + P(Y=4)[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = 2 * \frac{1}{15} + 3 * \frac{1}{15} + 4 * \frac{1}{15}[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = \frac{2}{15} + \frac{3}{15} + \frac{4}{15}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = \frac{2+3+4}{15}[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = \frac{9}{15}[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = 0.6[/tex]

Express as percentage

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = 0.6 * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = 60\%[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Her total harvest over the

first 5 years that she owns the farm is 11277 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Maggie is starting a small farm. In her first year, she harvests 90.000 kilograms of kale.

As she gets better at planting, fertilizing and pest control,

each year her harvest increases by 3%.

So,

In First year

She owns 90,000 kg

In Second year

She owns 90,000 kg and her harvest is increases by 3%.

i.e.,

90000 × 3 ÷ 100 = 2700

So, The increase in 90,000 kg kale is 2,700

Now,

90,000 + 2,700 = 92,700 kg

In Third year

She owns 92,700 kg and her harvest is increases by 3%.

i.e.,

92700 × 3 ÷ 100 = 2781

So, The increase in 92,700 kg kale is 2781

Now,

92,700 + 2,781 = 95,481 kg

In Fourth year

She owns 95,481 kg and her harvest is increases by 3%.

i.e.,

95481 × 3 ÷ 100 = 2846

So, The increase in 95,481 kg kale is 2846

Now,

95,481 + 2,846 = 98,345 kg

In Fifth year

She owns 98,354 kg and her harvest is increases by 3%.

i.e.,

98354 × 3 ÷ 100 = 2950

So, The increase in 98354 kg kale is 2950

Now,

98354 + 2950 = 101,295 kg

Now,

In First five years She owns

2700 + 2781 + 2846 + 2950 = 11277 kg

Thus, her total harvest over the first 5 years that she owns the farm is 11277 kg

A news article estimated that only 5% of those age 65 and older who prefer to watch the news, rather than to read or listen, watch the news online. This estimate was based on a survey of a large sample of adult Americans. Consider the population consisting of all adult Americans age 65 and older who prefer to watch the news, and suppose that for this population the actual proportion who prefer to watch online is 0.05. A random sample of n = 100 people will be selected from this population and p, the proportion of people who prefer to watch online, will be calculated.
(a) What are the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p? (Round your standard deviation to four decimal places.)
(b) Is the sampling distribution of p approximately normal for random samples of size n 100? Explain.
i. The sampling distribution of p is approximately normal because np is less than 10.
ii. The sampling distribution of p is approximately normal because np is at least 10.
iii. The sampling distribution of p is not approximately normal because np is less than 10
iv. The sampling distribution of p is not approximately normal because np is at least 10
v. The sampling distribution of p is not approximately normal because n(1 - p) is less than 10.

Answers

Answer:

a) The mean is 0.05 and the standard deviation is 0.0218.

b)  v. The sampling distribution of p is not approximately normal because n(1 - p) is less than 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex].

If [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample proportion p will be approximately normal.

Consider the population consisting of all adult Americans age 65 and older who prefer to watch the news, and suppose that for this population the actual proportion who prefer to watch online is 0.05.

This means that [tex]p = 0.05[/tex]

A random sample of n = 100 people

So [tex]n = 100[/tex]

(a) What are the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p?

Mean [tex]\mu = p = 0.05[/tex]

Standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.05*0.95}{100}} = 0.0218[/tex]

The mean is 0.05 and the standard deviation is 0.0218.

(b) Is the sampling distribution of p approximately normal for random samples of size n 100? Explain.

[tex]np = 100*0.95 = 95 > 10[/tex]

[tex]n(1-p) = 100*0.05 = 5 < 10[/tex]

As n(1-p) < 10, it is not approximately normal, option v.

Find the midpoint of the line segment with end coordinates of:
(-2,-4) and (-1,-5)
Give coordinates as decimals where appropriate.

Answers

Answer:

The midpoint of this line segment is (-1.5, -4.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

In finding the midpoint of a line segment we are actually averaging the x- and y-coordinates of the endpoints:

                                             -2 -1

x-coordinate of midpoint = --------- = -3/2 = -1.5

                                                 2

                                              -4 -5

y-coordinate of midpoint = ---------- = -4.5

                                                   2

The midpoint of this line segment is (-1.5, -4.5).

wind resistance varies jointly as an objects surface area and velocity. if an object traveling at 55 miles per hour with a surface area of 20 square feet experiences a wind resistance of 220 newtons how fast must a car with 55 square feet of surface area travel in order to experience a wind resistance of 275 newtons?​

Answers

Answer:

25 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]W = Wind\ resistance[/tex]

[tex]A = Surface\ Area[/tex]

[tex]V = Velocity[/tex]

The joint variation can be represented as:

[tex]W\ \alpha\ A*V[/tex]

Where:

[tex]V = 55; A = 20; W = 220[/tex]

Required

Find V,  when: [tex]A = 55; W = 275[/tex]

We have:

[tex]W\ \alpha\ A*V[/tex]

Express as an equation

[tex]W= k *A*V[/tex]

Where k is the constant of variation

Make k the subject

[tex]k = \frac{W}{A*V}[/tex]

When: [tex]V = 55; A = 20; W = 220[/tex]

We have:

[tex]k = \frac{220}{20 *55 }[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{220}{1100}[/tex]

[tex]k = 0.2[/tex]

When: [tex]A = 55; W = 275[/tex]

We have:

[tex]k = \frac{W}{A*V}[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]A = 55; W = 275[/tex] and [tex]k = 0.2[/tex]

[tex]0.2 = \frac{275}{55 * V}[/tex]

Make V the subject

[tex]V= \frac{275}{55 * 0.2}[/tex]

[tex]V= \frac{275}{11}[/tex]

[tex]V= 25[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The late but fast train traveled for 2 hours while the slow but early train traveled for 6 hours.

              SPEED       TIME     DISTANCE

SLOW EARLY       r           6          d

FAST LATE      r+124         2          d

Catchup means each train traveled equal distance

Distance = speed x time
If we call the slower speed S we can make this equation...
6 x S = 2 x F = 2 x (S + 124)
6S = 2S + 248
4S = 248
S = 62
So the slow train is travelling at 62mph and the fast train at 186mph
