Answer:
j=13, g=20.8, h=24
Step-by-step explanation:
The overall shape given and the shape within, are both right triangles. With right triangles, you are allowed to use the pythagorean theorem formula ([tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]) in order to solve for some sides. In this case, that would be j and h. The five in the smaller triangle is represented by b and the 12 is the hypotenuse so it is represented by c. When you plug in those numbers in the pythagorean theorem formula, you will find the value of j to be 13. When looking at this, we see that 12 is the second greatest value in the right triangle values that we just found, so we know the the opposing angle for that one will be 60 degrees. The 5's opposing side is therefore 30 degrees. When subtracting 90 and 30, we get 60, so therefore you can use the 30 60 90 formula to find the sides of the bigger triangle. The 60 degrees represents g. This formula will be [tex]a\sqrt{3}[/tex]. The a is 12 since it is the smallest value. So therefore, g is [tex]12\sqrt{3}[/tex], which is 20.8. Now that we have this side, we can just use the pythagorean theorem formula to find the remaining side. Therefore, h is going to be 24

If f(x)=4arctan(7x), find f'(x). Find f'(4).
f'(x) = (4 arctan(7x))'
f'(x) = 4 (arctan(7x))'
By the chain rule,
f'(x) = 4/(1 + (7x)^2) * (7x)'
f'(x) = 28/(1 + 49x^2)
and hence
f'(4) = 28/(1 + 49*16) = 28/785
In case you're not sure about the derivative of arctan: If y = arctan(x), then x = tan(y). Differentiating both sides with respect to x gives
1 = sec^2y y' = (1 + tan^2y) y' = (1 + x^2) y'
==> y' = 1/(1 + x^2)

The images to solve this problem is in the attachment.
Answer: [tex]F_{fs}[/tex] = 671.0 N; [tex]F_{N}[/tex] = 300 N
Step-by-step explanation: From the image in the attachment and knowing that the box is in equilibrium, i.e., the "sum" of all the forces is 0, it is possible to conclude that:
[tex]F_{fs}[/tex] = [tex]F_{gx}[/tex] and [tex]F_{N}[/tex] = [tex]F_{gy}[/tex]
Using trigonometry, shown in the second attachment, the values for each force are:
Force of Static Frictionsin 20° = [tex]\frac{F_{gx} }{F_{g} }[/tex]
[tex]F_{gx}[/tex] = [tex]F_{g}[/tex]. sin(20)
[tex]F_{gx}[/tex] = 735.0.913
[tex]F_{gx}[/tex] = 671.0
Normal Forcecos 20° = [tex]\frac{F_{gy} }{F_{g} }[/tex]
[tex]F_{gy}[/tex] = [tex]F_{g}[/tex]. cos (20)
[tex]F_{gy}[/tex] = 735.0.408
[tex]F_{gy}[/tex] = 300
The force of static friction is 671N and normal force is 300N
Answer:
Static force is 251 and the Normal force is 691.

A survey taken in a large statistics class contained the question: "What's the fastest you have driven a car (in miles per hour)?" The five-number summary for the 87 males surveyed is: min = 55, Q1 = 95, Median = 110, Q3 = 120, Max = 155 Should the largest observation in this data set be classified as an outlier? No Yes
Answer:
NO
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out which observation to classify as an outlier, whether the largest or not, a very good approach or way to do this is to apply the 1.5(IQR) rule.
According to the rule, for finding the largest observation in the data that can be classified as an outlier, we would use the formula = Q3 + 1.5(IQR).
Q3 = 120
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 120 - 95 = 25
Lets's plug these values into Q3 + 1.5(IQR)
We have,
120 + 1.5(25)
= 157.5
Since our max in the observation is given as 155, the largest observation in the data set cannot be set as an outlier because 157.5 which we got from our calculation is higher than the max value we have in the data set.
Our answer is NO.
However, the smallest observation should be set as outlier because:
Q1 - 1.5(IQR) = 95 - (1.5*25) = 57.5, which gives us an outlier that falls within our data range.

Assume that the probability of a driver getting into an accident is 7.1%, the
average cost of an accident is $14,886.05, and the overhead cost for an
insurance company per insured driver is $110. What should the driver's
insurance premium be?
O A. $1276.27
O B. $1242.93
O C. $1165.49
O D. $1156.43
Answer:
C - $1165.49
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the probability of a driver getting into an accident = 7.1% i.e. 0.071.
Now, the average cost of an accident = $14,886.05
Then, the expected cost of an accident = $14,886.05 × 0.071 = $1056.91
As, the overhead cost for insurance = $110
Therefore, the driver's insurance premium = $1056.91 + $110 = $1166.91
Since, the closest option to $1166.91 is option C.
Hence, the driver's insurance premium will be $1165.49.
the driver's insurance premium will then be,
⇒ $1166.91
What is mean by Percentage?
A number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100 or a relative value indicating hundredth part of any quantity is called percentage.
To Calculate the percent of a number , divide the number by whole number and multiply by 100.
Now, The following can be deduced from the question:
Average cost of an accident = $14,886.05
Probability of a driver getting into an accident = 7.1%
= 7.1/100
= 0.071.
Overhead cost for insurance = $110
Therefore, the expected cost of an accident will be calculated as:
= Average cost of an accident × Probability of a driver getting into an accident
= $14,886.05 × 0.071
= $1056.91
Therefore, the driver's insurance premium will then be:
= $1056.91 + $110
= $1166.91

Liam needs a guitar case. It must be 1.18 m long. Select the case that is suitable? 11.8mm,118cm,1.8m ,11.18mm
Answer:
118 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
1 m = 100 cm
1 m = 1000 mm
1.18 m = 118 cm = 1180 mm
11.8 mm ----> too small
118 cm ----> just right
1.8 m ----> too big
11.18 mm ----> too small
Where the above dimensions are given, the suitable guitar case for Liam would be the one that is 1.8 m long.
How is this so?Since Liam's guitar case needs to be 1.18 m long, we need to select the option that is closest in length without exceeding it.
Among the given options, 11.8 mm and 11.18 mm are too small, and 118 cm is equal to 1.18 m, which exceeds the required length.
Hence , the only suitable option is 1.8 m, which matches Liam's requirement of a guitar case with a length of 1.18 m.

Based on aâ poll, among adults who regret gettingâ tattoos, 18â% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos. Assume that eight adults who regret getting tattoos are randomlyâ selected, and find the indicated probability. Complete partsâ (a) throughâ (d) below.
a. Find the probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.
b. Find the probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.
c. Find the probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.
d. It we randomly select 9 adults. Is 1 a significantly low number who day that they were too young to get tattoos?
Answer:
a) 20.44% probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.
b) 35.90% probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.
c) 56.34% probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.
d) No
Step-by-step explanation:
For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they say they were too young when they got their tattoos, or they don't say that. Each adult is independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
18% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos.
This means that [tex]p = 0.18[/tex]
Eight adults who regret getting tattoos are randomly selected
This means that [tex]n = 8[/tex]
a. Find the probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.
This is P(X = 0).
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{8,0}.(0.18)^{0}.(0.82)^{8} = 0.2044[/tex]
20.44% probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.
b. Find the probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.
This is P(X = 1).
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{8,1}.(0.18)^{1}.(0.82)^{7} = 0.3590[/tex]
35.90% probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.
c. Find the probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.
Either a. or b.
20.44 + 35.90 = 56.34
56.34% probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.
d. It we randomly select 9 adults. Is 1 a significantly low number who day that they were too young to get tattoos?
Now [tex]n = 9[/tex]
It is significantly low if it is more than 2.5 standard deviations below the mean.
The mean is [tex]E(X) = np = 9*0.18 = 1.62[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{n*p*(1-p)} = \sqrt{9*0.18*0.82} = 1.15[/tex]
1 > (1.62 - 2.5*1.15)
So the answer is no.
The mean percent of childhood asthma prevalence in 43 cities is 2.32%. A random sample of 32 of these cities is selected. What is the probability that the mean childhood asthma prevalence for the sample is greater than 2.8%? Interpret this probability. Assume that sigmaequals1.24%. The probability is nothing.
Answer:
[tex] P(\bar X>2.8)[/tex]
We can use the z score formula given by:
[tex] z=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] z=\frac{2.8 -2.32}{\frac{1.24}{\sqrt{32}}}=2.190 [/tex]
And using the normal standard distribution and the complement rule we got:
[tex] P(z>2.190 )= 1-P(z<2.190) = 1-0.986=0.014[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case w eknow the following parameters:
[tex] \mu = 2.32[/tex] represent the mean
[tex]\sigma =1.24[/tex] represent the deviation
n= 32 represent the sample sze selected
We want to find the following probability:
[tex] P(\bar X>2.8)[/tex]
We can use the z score formula given by:
[tex] z=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] z=\frac{2.8 -2.32}{\frac{1.24}{\sqrt{32}}}=2.190 [/tex]
And using the normal standard distribution and the complement rule we got:
[tex] P(z>2.190 )= 1-P(z<2.190) = 1-0.986=0.014[/tex]
Answer:
0.55% probability that the mean childhood asthma prevalence for the sample is greater than 2.8%. This means that a sample having an asthma prevalence of greater than 2.8% is unusual event, that is, unlikely.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal probability distribution
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
If X is more than two standard deviations from the mean, it is considered an unusual outcome.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 2.32, \sigma = 1.24, n = 43, s = \frac{1.24}{\sqrt{43}} = 0.189[/tex]
What is the probability that the mean childhood asthma prevalence for the sample is greater than 2.8%?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2.8. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{2.8 - 2.32}{0.189}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.54[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.54[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9945
1 - 0.9945 = 0.0055
0.55% probability that the mean childhood asthma prevalence for the sample is greater than 2.8%. This means that a sample having an asthma prevalence of greater than 2.8% is unusual event, that is, unlikely.

Step-by-step explanation:
Because -3x-3=9 and 9+8= 17. 17 is greater than 14
In a random sample of six cell phones, the mean full retail price was $538.00 and the standard deviation was $184.00. Assume the population is normally distributed and use the t-distribution to find the margin of error and construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean mu. Interpret the results. Identify the margin of error. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. Interpret the results. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
Answer:
The margin of error is 370.8.
The 90% confidence interval for the population mean is between $167.2 and $908.8
The correct interpretation is that we are 90% sure that the true mean price for all cellphones in within the interval end-points, so option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 6 - 1 = 5
90% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 5 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex]. So we have T = 2.0150
The margin of error is:
M = T*s = 2.0150*184 = 370.8.
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 538 - 370.8 = $167.2
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 538 + 370.8 = $908.8
The 90% confidence interval for the population mean is between $167.2 and $908.8
The correct interpretation is that we are 90% sure that the true mean price for all cellphones in within the interval end-points, so option B.
