2. Suppose that you are looking for a student at your college who lives within five miles of you. You know that 55% of the 25,000 students do live within five miles of you. You randomly contact students from the college until one says he or she lives within five miles of you.

(a) What is the probability that you need to contact four people?

(b) How many students from the college you expect to contact until you find one lives within five miles of you?

(C) What is the standard deviation of the number of students to be contacted until one says who lives within five miles of you?

(d) Suppose you randomly ask 5 students at your college, what is the probability that 3 of them live within five miles of you?

(e) Suppose you randomly ask 5 students at your college, what is the expected number of students who live within five miles of you?​

Answers

Answer 1

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that:

a) There is a 0.0501 = 5.01% probability that you need to contact four people.

b) You expect to contact 1.82 students until you find one who lives within five miles of you.

c) The standard deviation is of 1.22 students.

d) 0.3369 = 33.69% probability that 3 of them live within five miles of you.

e) It is expected that 2.75 students live within five miles of you.

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they live within 5 miles of you, or they do not. The probability of a student living within 5 miles of you is independent of any other student, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes. n is the number of trials. p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

55% live within five miles, hence [tex]p = 0.55[/tex].

Item a:

This probability is P(X = 0) when n = 3(none of the first three) multiplied by 0.55(the fourth does live within five miles), hence:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.55)^{0}.(0.45)^{3} = 0.091125[/tex]

[tex]p = 0.091125(0.55) = 0.0501[/tex]

0.0501 = 5.01% probability that you need to contact four people.

Item b:

The expected number of trials in the binomial distribution until q successes is given by:

[tex]E = \frac{q}{p}[/tex]

In this problem, [tex]p = 0.55[/tex], and 1 trial, thus [tex]q = 1[/tex], hence:

[tex]E = \frac{1}{0.55} = 1.82[/tex]

You expect to contact 1.82 students until you find one who lives within five miles of you.

Item c:

The standard deviation of the number of trials until q successes are found is given by:

[tex]S = \frac{\sqrt{q(1 - p)}}{p}[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]S = \frac{\sqrt{0.45}}{0.55} = 1.22[/tex]

The standard deviation is of 1.22 students.

Item d:

This probability is P(X = 3) when n = 5, hence:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.55)^{3}.(0.45)^{2} = 0.3369[/tex]

0.3369 = 33.69% probability that 3 of them live within five miles of you.

Item e:

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]E(X) = 5(0.55) = 2,75[/tex]

It is expected that 2.75 students live within five miles of you.

Find the equation of the line shown below
Y=mx+c

Answers

Answer:

y = -1/4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First you find m. Because the line is slanting downwards, you know it is negative. Then you can find the number by looking at the rise over run (rise/run). We can go up 1 (rise) and then to the side 4 (run). We go to the right side 4 because that is where the line intersects with up 1. So because the rise goes over the run, the number would be 1/4. But remember that it is negative so m = -1/4

2. Now we have to find c. For this you just have to go up or down the y-axis until you find the point where it intersects with the line. On this graph it intersects on positive 2. So c = + 2

2 dived by 49 with a remainder

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 24 with remainder of 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve the problem by seeing what number gives you 4 when multiplied by 2. That would be 2 (2x2=4)

you subtract 4 by 4 to get zero and bring down the nine

Then you see which number would get you close to nine without overlapping when multiplied by two. That would be 4 (2x4=8)

your answer would be 24 then you subtract 9 by 8 to get a remainder of 1

3. the smallest number by which 168 must be multipled to get the perfect square number. ICA) 3 1(B)2 (c) 4 (o)5​

Answers

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

168 factors into

2•2•2•3•7

two of the 2's make a perfect square

(2•2)•2•3•7

   2²•2•3•7

as none of the product of the remaining factors makes a perfect square

2•3 = 6,  2•7 = 14,  3•7 = 21

we need to multiply the remaining factors together to find another perfect square

   2²•(2•3•7)²

2•3•7 = 42

42(168) = 7056 = 84²

We want to evaluate the limit of [tex]\frac{8n}{3n^{2}+5}[/tex] as n tends toward infinity (+∞)

The limit of this expression is the same as the limit of [tex]\frac{8n}{3n^{2}}[/tex]

But this last expression can be simplified, we can remove one n up and down which gives us : [tex]\frac{8}{3n}[/tex]

We know the limit of this one, it is simply Zero 0, by definition of the class lesson.

A machine cuts a strip of carpet into two pleces. The length of the smaller plece is 5 meters greater than 4 the length of the larger piece. If
the length of the smaller piece is 12 meters, the length of the bigger plece is meters and the total length of the carpet is
meters.

Answers

Length of larger piece be x

Smaller piece=4x+5

x=12m

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 4x+5=4(12)+5=60+5=65m[/tex]

Total length=65+12=77m

The length of the bigger piece is 1.75 meters and the total length of the carpet is 13.75 meters.

Given that length of the smaller piece is 12 meters.

The length of the smaller piece is 5 meters greater than 4 times the length of the larger piece.

Let's represent the length of the larger piece as "x."

Length of the smaller piece = 4 times the length of the larger piece + 5

12 = 4x + 5

Subtracting 5 from both sides:

12 - 5 = 4x

7 = 4x

Dividing both sides by 4:

7/4 = x

1.75 = x

So, the length of the bigger piece is 1.75 meters.

To calculate the total length of the carpet, we add the length of the smaller piece and the length of the bigger piece:

Total length of the carpet = Length of the smaller piece + Length of the bigger piece

Total length of the carpet = 12 + 1.75

Total length of the carpet is approximately 13.75 meters.

Therefore, the length of the bigger piece is 1.75 meters and the total length of the carpet is 13.75 meters.

Answer:

Range: {-5, 19, 31}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the linear function, f(x) = 2x + 1, and the domain, {-3, 9, 15}.

In order to determine the range of the given linear function, simply substitute each domain value as inputs into the function.

x = -3

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(-3) = 2(-3) + 1

f(-3) = -6 + 1

f(-3) = -5

x = 9

f(9) = 2x + 1

f(9) = 2(9) + 1

f(9) = 18 + 1

f(9) = 19

x = 15

f(15) = 2x + 1

f(15) = 2(15) + 1

f(15) = 30 + 1

f(15) = 31

Therfore, the range of the function is: {-5, 19, 31}.

If two fair dice are rolled, find the probability that the sum of the dice is 9, given that the sum is greater than 5.
The probability is

Answers

Answer:  2/13

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

Explanation:

Refer to the dice chart below. It represents all possible ways to roll two dice and sum up the face values.

According to the table, there are...

A = 1 copy of the sum "2"B = 2 copies of the sum "3"C = 3 copies of the sum "4"D = 4 copies of the sum "5"

There are A+B+C+D = 1+2+3+4 = 10 instances where we get a sum between 2 and 5. The table shows 6*6 = 36 sums total. This means there are 36-10 = 26 sums where they are between 6 and 12, aka "the sum being greater than 5".

Those 26 sums are what we focus on. Out of those 26 items, four of them are sums of "9".

The probability we want is therefore 4/26 = 2/13

The probability that the sum of the dice is 9, given that the sum is greater than 5 is 0.154

See attachment for the sample space of a roll of two dice.

From the attached sample space,

The number of sum greater than 5 is: 26The number of sum greater than 5 that is 9 is: 6

Represent the events that a sum is greater than 5 with A, and a sum is greater than 5 is 9 with B.

So, we have:

[tex]n(A) = 26[/tex]

[tex]n(A\ n\ B) = 4[/tex]

The probability that the sum of the dice is 9, given that the sum is greater than 5 is then calculated using:

[tex]Pr = \frac{n(A\ n\ B)}{n(A)}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]Pr = \frac{4}{26}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.154[/tex]

Hence, the probability is 0.154

Find the equation of the line with slope −7 which goes through the point (−5,5).
Give your answer in slope-intercept form y=mx+b.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf y= -7x -30}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the equation of a line,  given a point and a slope.

We can use the point-slope formula:

[tex]y-y_1= m(x-x_1)[/tex]

In this formula, (x₁, y₁) is the point and m is the slope. This line has a slope of -7 and passes through the point (-5,5). Therefore:

x₁ = -5 y₁= 5 m= -7

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]y-5= -7 (x- -5)[/tex]

[tex]y-5= -7(x+5)[/tex]

We want to give the answer in slope-intercept form, or y=mx+b. We must isolate the variable y.

First, distribute the -7 on the right side of the equation. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by -7.

[tex]y-5= (-7*x) + (-7*5)\\y-5 = (-7x) + (-35) \\y-5= -7x -35[/tex]

5 is being subtracted from y. The inverse operation of subtraction is addition. Add 5 to both sides of the equation.

[tex]y-5+5 =-7x -35 +5 \\y= -7x -35 +5 \\y= -7x +30[/tex]

The equation of the line is y= -7x+30.

Camila is collecting button pins. Camila started her collection with 20 button pins and collects 5 button pins per month. Let y represent the total number of button pins Camila has collected and x represent the number of months Camila collects button pins.

Graph this linear relationship.

Select two points to graph the line.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Camilla started her collection with 20 buttons, meaning that this number is a constant, and that it will not change: (+20)

She then collects 5 buttons per month. Month is represented by the variable, x (given by the question), and there are 5 per month (so you multiply).

Set the equation:

Total pins = Amount of pins per month x amount of months + Amount of pins started.

y = 5x + 20

In this case, plug in the amount of months (x) to obtain your total (y):

When x = 0, y = 20

y = 5(0) + 20

y = 0 + 20

y = 20

When x = 1 , y = 25

y = 5(1) + 20

y = 5 + 20

y = 25

When x = 2, y = 30

y = 5(2) + 20

y = 10 + 20

y = 30

When x = 3, y = 35

y = 5(3) + 20

y = 15 + 20

y = 35

When x = 4, y = 40

y = 5(4) + 20

y = 20 + 20

y = 40
