Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a

[tex]G  =   0.007523 [/tex]

b

 The  number of cars the  highway patrol officer would watch before a  car that is seen is [tex]E(X) = 1.6027 [/tex]

The standard deviation is   [tex]s  =  0.9829 [/tex]

gg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mean is [tex]\mu = 71.5 \ miles/hour[/tex]

The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 4.75 \ miles/hour[/tex]

The speed limit is [tex] x = 70 \ miles /hour[/tex]

Generally the probability of getting a car that is moving with speed greater than the speed limit is mathematically represented as

[tex]p =P(X > x ) = P(X > 70) = P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } > \frac{70 - 71.5 }{4.75})[/tex]

=> [tex] p= P(X > 70) = P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } > \frac{70 - 71.5 }{4.75})[/tex]

=> [tex] p= P(X > 70) = P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } > -0.31579 )[/tex]

Here

[tex]\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z(The \ standardized \ value \ of X )[/tex]

So

=> [tex] p= P(X > 70) = P(Z > -0.31579 )[/tex]

From the z-table

[tex]p = P(Z > -0.31579 ) = 0.62392[/tex]

So

[tex] p = P(X > 70) = 0.62392 [/tex]

Generally the probability of getting a car that is not moving with speed greater than the speed limit is mathematically represented as

[tex]q = 1 - p[/tex]

=> [tex]q = 1 - 0.62392 [/tex]

=> [tex]q = 0.37608 [/tex]

Generally the probability of getting 5 cars that are not speeding is mathematically represented as

[tex]G = q^5[/tex]

=> [tex]G = (0.37608)^5[/tex]

=> [tex]G = 0.007523 [/tex]

Generally the number of cars that the highway patrol officer is expected to watch until the first car that is speeding is gotten is mathematically represented as

[tex]E(X) = \frac{1}{p}[/tex]

=> [tex]E(X) = \frac{1}{0.62392}[/tex]

=> [tex]E(X) = 1.6027 [/tex]

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{1 - p }{ p^2} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]s  =  \sqrt{\frac{1 -0.62392 }{ (0.62392)^2} }[/tex]

=> [tex]s = 0.9829 [/tex]

Answer 2

The probability that 5 cars pass and none are speeding is 0.007523 and the number of cars the highway patrol officer would watch before a car that is seen is E(X) = 1.6027

What is normal a distribution?

It is also called the Gaussian Distribution. It is the most important continuous probability distribution. The curve looks like a bell, so it is also called a bell curve.

The z-score is a numerical measurement used in statistics of the value's relationship to the mean of a group of values, measured in terms of standards from the mean.

The distribution of passenger vehicle speeds traveling on a certain freeway in California is nearly normal with a mean of 71.5 miles/hour and a standard deviation of 4.75 miles/hour.

The speed limit on this stretch of the freeway is 70 miles/hour.

Generally, the probability of getting a car that is moving with speed greater than the speed limit is mathematically represented as;

[tex]p = P(X > x) = P(X > 70) = P(z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma } > \dfrac{70 - 71.5}{4.75})\\\\p = P(X > 70 ) = P(\dfrac{X -\mu}{\sigma} > -0.31579)[/tex]

From the z-table

[tex]p = P(X > 70)= P(z > -0.31579) \\\\p = 0.62392[/tex]

Generally, the probability of getting a car that is not moving with speed greater than the speed limit will be

q = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.62392

q = 0.37608

Generally, the probability of getting cars that are not speeding will be

G = q⁵

G = 0.37608⁵

G = 0.007523

The number of cars that the highway patrol officer is expected to watch until the first car that is speeding is gotten will be

[tex]\rm E(X) = \dfrac{1}{p}\\\\E(X) = \dfrac{1}{0.62392}\\\\E(X) = 1.6027[/tex]

The standard deviation will be

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{1-p}{p}}\\\\\\\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{1-0.63292}{0.62392}}\\\\\\\sigma = 0.9829[/tex]

In a game you have 1/20 probability of winning $76 and a 19/20 probability of losing $9. What is your expected value?

Answers

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value for the given case is $-4.75.

What is probability?

Probability is the branch of Mathematics that deals with the measurement of the chance of occurrence of a random event.

The probability of any event always lies in the close interval of 0 and 1 [0,1].

Given that,

The probability of winning $76 is 1/20.

And, the probability of losing $9 is 19/20.

The expected value for the given probability can be given by taking the product of the probability and the wining or losing amount and then substracting them as,

Expected value = 1/20 × 76 - 19/20 × 9

                          = 3.8 - 8.55

                          = -4.75

Hence, the expected value of amount for losing and winning the game is $-4.75.

What is a function?

A function can be defined as the outputs for a given set of inputs.

The inputs of a function are known as the independent variable and the outputs of a function are known as the dependent variable.

Given, Barbara signed up for dance lessons at Dance Unlimited. She was charged $55 per month for lessons and a one-time recital fee of $165.

Let m be the no of months and f(m) is the total cost.

f(m) = 55m + 165.

The equation represents the $495 total cost,

∴ 495 =  55m + 165.

55m = 330.

m = 330/55.

m = 6.

The length of a rectangular garden is 5 feet less than 4 times its width. Its area is 359 square feet. Find the length and width of the garden. Round answers to the nearest tenth of a foot. Show all work.

Answers

Given parameters:

Area of the rectangular garden  = 359ft²

Unknown:

length and width of the garden  = ?

To find the length and breadth of the garden, we need to define and know that the area of a rectangle is.

 Area of a rectangle  = Length x Breadth

From the problem statement;

 Let w = width of the rectangular garden

        L = length of the garden;

 Now,

          length of a rectangular garden is 5 feet less than 4 times its width

           L = 4w - 5

Now let us substitute this into the equation;

       Area  = L x w

    359 = (4w - 5)w

           4w² - 5w - 359

Using:

          w = -b ± √b² -  4ac  /  2a

 where b  = -5 , a  = 4  and c = -359

  w  =   -(-5)  ± √-5² - 4(4)(-359)  /  2(4)

 w = 5 ± √25 + 5744 / 8

 w =  5 ± 75.9 / 8

 w  = [tex]\frac{5 + 75.9}{8} or \frac{5 - 75.9}{8}[/tex]

  w  = 10.1ft

 The other solution is not possible it will be a negative value. Width value cannot be negative.

So L = 4w - 5  = 4(10.1) - 5 = 35.5ft

The length and breadth of the rectangular are 35.5ft and 10.1ft respectively.

How can you solve linear equations by combining like terms?

Answers

Answer: In algebra, like terms are terms that have the same variables and powers. The coefficients do not need to match. Unlike terms are two or more terms that are not like terms, i.e. they do not have the same variables or powers. The order of the variables does not matter unless there is a power. For example, 8xyz² and −5xyz² are like terms because they have the same variables and power while 3abc and 3ghi are unlike terms because they have different variables. Since the coefficient doesn't affect likeness, all constant terms are like terms.

You need 660 mL of a 80% alcohol solution. On hand, you have a 40% alcohol mixture. How much of the 40%
alcohol mixture and pure alcohol will you need to obtain the desired solution?
You will need
mL of the 40% solution
and
mL of pure alcohol.
Submit Question

Answers

Let a be the amount of 40% solution and b be the amount of pure alcohol that you will use.

You want to end up with a volume of 660 mL, so

a + b = 660

For each mL of solution used, the 40% solution would contribute 0.4 mL of alcohol, and the pure alcohol will contribute 1 mL of alcohol. In the desired solution, you want a concentration of 80% alcohol, so that it contains 0.8 • 660 mL = 528 mL of alcohol, and

0.4a + b = 528

Solve the system of equations above. Subtracting the second from the first eliminates b and lets us solve for a :

(a + b) - (0.4a + b) = 660 - 528

0.6a = 132

a = 220

Then

220 + b = 660

b = 440

So you will need 220 mL of the 40% solution and 440 mL of pure alcohol.

3x square - 6x + 3=0

Answers

Answer: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to multiply 3 x 3 (9), because that's all 3 squared means.

Now the equation should be 9x-6x+3=0

Next we need to combine like terms. Do 9x - 6x which should give you 3x

Now your equations should be 3x+3=0

Now for the somewhat harder part...

Under the three (the one without the x) write -3 and under the zero write the same thing.  the +3-3 cancels out so just put a line or something across it.

0-3= -3

so now you should have...

3x=-3    ignore the 3x, at this point it's useless in getting the answer because it would cancel out.

-3 divided by -3  is 1 because a negative (-)  divided by a negative (-) equals a positive (+).

The answer should be  x = 1
