Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 3/4

b) 1/4

c) 1/2

d) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A tosses one coin while B tosses two coins

a) P( B wins given A gets 0 heads )

In this scenerio for B to win, he needs to get at least 1 head i.e.  P( B gets at least one heads)

  =  1 - P(B get no head)

  =  1 -  (1/2)^2  = 3/4

b) P( B wins given A gets 1 head )

For B to win when A gets 1  head means that B will have to get 2 heads

i.e. P( B gets 2 heads ) = P( one head )^2 = ( 1/2 )^2 = 1/4

c) P( B wins )

P ( B wins ) = P(A get 0 head and B gets at least one head) + P(A get 1 head and B get 2 head)

= ( 1/2 * 3/4 ) + ( 1/2 * 1/4 ) = 1/2

d) P ( B wins the new game )

Given that: A tosses two(2) coin while B tosses three(3) coins

P( B ) = P(A gets 0 head and B gets one head) +  P(A get 1 head and B get 2 or 3 heads )  +    P(A get 2 head and B gets 3 heads )

=[ (1/4 *(1 -1/8) ] +  (1/2 * 1/2)  +   ( 1/4 * 1/8 )= 1/2

Find the area of a regular
polygon with 6 sides that has a
perimeter of 42 inches and an
apothem of 5 inches,

Answers

Answer:

The area of a regular polygon is A = (1/2)ap, where a is the apothem and p is the perimeter of the polygon.  

The apothem is 8 inches and the perimeter is 6(7) = 42 since there are 7 sides of 6 inches.  

Then the area is

A = (1/2)(8)(42) = 336/2 = 168 in2

Line segment CD is the altitude drawn to hypotenuse EF in right triangle ECF. If EC = 10 and EF = 24, then, to the nearest tenth, find ED.

Answers

Answer:

4.2 = ED

Step-by-step explanation:

C is the Right Angle.You will do yourself a great favor by drawing your own diagram. The easiest way to do this is to find CF first. Use the Pythagorean Theorem.The next step is to find the area of the triangles using EC * CF which you just found. Equate that to the hypotenuse * altitude(CD) to find CDThen use Pythagoras again to ED.

Step One

Find FC. That is the only side of the right triangle that you don't know the value of.

EC^2 + FC^2 = EF^2EC = 20FC = ?EF= 24   This the Hypotenuse.

10^2 + FC^2 = 24^2100 + FC^2 = 576                 Subtract 100 from both sides.FC^2 = 576 - 100                  Combine the right FC^2 = 476sqrt(FC^2) = sqrt(476)FC = 21.817

Step Two

Find CD. Do this by finding the area two ways. (Key Step)Area = hypotenuse * altitude / 2Area = EC * CF / 2EC = 10CF = 21.817hypotenuse = 24altitude = y24*y / 2 = 10 * 21.817 /212 y = 218.17/212y = 109.085y = 109.085/12y = 9.0904

Step Three

Find EDED^2 = 10^2 - y^2ED^2 = 100 - 9.0904^2ED^2 = 100 - 82.6357ED^2 = 17.36sqrt(ED^2) = sqrt(17.36)ED = 4.1671ED = 4.2

In a sample of 230 teenagers, 202 would like to have smaller class sizes at their school. Find the sample
proportion, the margin of error, and the interval likely to contain the true population proportion. If
necessary, round your answers to the nearest percent.

Answers

Answer:

The sample proportion is 0.88.

The margin of error is of 0.04.

The interval likely to contain the true population proportion is (0.84,0.92).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

Margin of error:

The margin of error is of:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

Sample of 230 teenagers, 202 would like to have smaller class sizes at their school.

This means that [tex]n = 230[/tex], and that the sample proportion is:

[tex]\pi = \frac{202}{230} = 0.88[/tex]

The sample proportion is 0.88.

Standard 95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

Margin of error:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]M = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.88*0.12}{230}}[/tex]

[tex]M = 0.04[/tex]

The margin of error is of 0.04.

Confidence interval:

Sample proportion plus/minus margin of error. So

0.88 - 0.04 = 0.84

0.88 + 0.04 = 0.92

The interval likely to contain the true population proportion is (0.84,0.92).

A factory manufactures motorcycles. One of its employees, working in the quality control department, checks the first 10 and the last 10 motorcycles manufactured in a day. This is what type of sampling?

Answers

Answer:

Convenience sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

When sampling is done based in degree of ease or samples picked from observations that are easily accessible rather than prioritizing randomness or selection which will most be representative of the population, then such sampling is called convenience sampling. In some texts, it is also referred to as grab sampling as researchers choose from close, easy to reach samples. In the scenario above, the quality control takes the easy procedure of checking the first and last 10 motorcycles as this is easier than having to take samples at random tune intervals which will be a better representation of the entire motorcycles.

A farmer wants to fence in a rectangular plot of land adjacent to the north wall of his barn. No fencing is needed along the barn, and the fencing along the west side of the plot is shared with a neighbor who will split the cost of that portion of the fence. If the fencing costs $20 per linear foot to install and the farmer is not willing to spend more than $7000, find the dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area. (Enter the dimensions as a comma separated list.)

Answers

Answer:

The dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area are as follows:

Width  = 116.67 ft

Length = 175 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Kindly refer to the attached diagram where:

x = Length of the rectangular area

y = Width of the rectangular area.

The fencing along the west side of the plot is shared with a neighbor who will split the cost of that portion of the fence. This implies that it is $10 per foot. Otherwise, it will be $20 per foot. Since no fencing is needed along the barn, it implies that there is no fence along the northern length.

Since the farmer is not willing to spend more than $7000, we have:

10y + 20x + 20y = 7000

20x + 30y = 7000

Divide through by 20, we have:

x + 1.5y = 350

x = 350 - 1.5y …………………………. (1)

The fenced area is

A = x * y ………………………………….. (2)

Substituting equation (1) into (2), we have:

A = (350 - 1.5y)y

A = 350y - 1.5y^2 ……………. (3)

To maximize A, equation (3) is differentiated with respect to y and equated it to 0 as follows:

That is,

A'(y) = 350 - 3y = 0

Solving for y, we have:

y = 350/3

y = 116.67 ft

Substituting y = 116.67 for y in equation (1), we have:

x = 350 - (1.5 * 116.67)

x = 175ft

Therefore, the dimensions for the plot that would enclose the most area are as follows:

Width  = 116.67 ft

Length = 175 ft.

CLASS A :

Minimum - 55

Lower quartile - 72

Median - 75

Upper quartile - 89

Maximum - 95

CLASS B :

Minimum - 55

Lower quartile - 70

Median - 75

Upper quartile - 94

Maximum - 100

Evaluating the statements given :

The median score of Class A is greater than the median score of Class B.

Median A = 75 ; Median B = 75 (median are equal), hence, A is not true

The lower quartile of Class A is greater than the lower quartile of Class B.

Lower quartile A = 72 ; Lower quartile B = 70 (A is greater than B) , hence, B is true

The upper quartile of Class A is greater than the upper quartile of Class B.

Upper quartile A = 89 ; Upper quartile B = 94 (A is less than B) , hence, statement is not true

The maximum score of Class A is greater than the maximum score of Class B.

Maximum A = 94 ; maximum B = 100 ; A < B ; Hence, statement is not true

Answer:

y = -⅓x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two points that lie on the line (3, 6) and (-3, 8), we can find the equation without the grid by finding the slope (m) and y-intercept (b).

The equation would be written in the form of y = mx + b (slope-intercept form):

✔️Find m:

Slope (m) = change in y/change in x

Slope using (3, 6) and (-3, 8), would be:

Slope (m) = (8 - 6)/(-3 - 3) = 2/-6

m = -⅓

✔️Find b:

Substitute (x, y) = (3, 6) and m = -⅓ into y = mx + b to find b

6 = -⅓(3) + b

6 = -1 + b

6 + 1 = b

b = 7

✅Write the Equation:

Substitute m = -⅓ and b = 7 into y = mx + b

Thus,

y = -⅓x + 7
