4. A small high school holds its graduation ceremony in the gym. Because of seating constraints, students are limited to a maximum of four tickets to graduation for family and friends. The vice principal knows that historically 30% of students want four tickets, 25% want three, 25% want two, 15% want one, and 5% want none. (a) Let X ¼ the number of tickets requested by a randomly selected graduating student, and assume the historical distribution applies to this rv. Find the mean and standard deviation of X. (b) Let T ¼ the total number of tickets requested by the 150 students graduating this year. Assuming all 150 students’ requests are independent, determine the mean and standard deviation of T. (c) The gym can seat a maximum of 500 guests. Calculate the (approximate) probability that all students’ requests can be accommodated. [Hint: Express this probability in terms of T. What distribution does T have?]

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) The mean and standard deviation of X is 2.6 and 1.2 respectively.

(b) The mean and standard deviation of T are 390 and 180 respectively.

(c) The distribution of T is N (390, 180²). The probability that all students’ requests can be accommodated is 0.7291.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The random variable X is defined as the number of tickets requested by a randomly selected graduating student.

The probability distribution of the number of tickets wanted by the students for the graduation ceremony is as follows:

X      P (X)

0      0.05

1       0.15

2      0.25

3      0.25

4      0.30

The formula to compute the mean is:

[tex]\mu=\sum x\cdot P(X)[/tex]

Compute the mean number of tickets requested by a student as follows:

[tex]\mu=\sum x\cdot P(X)\\=(0\times 0.05)+(1\times 0.15)+(2\times 0.25)+(3\times 0.25)+(4\times 0.30)\\=2.6[/tex]

The formula of standard deviation of the number of tickets requested by a student as follows:

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{E(X^{2})-\mu^{2}}[/tex]

Compute the standard deviation as follows:

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{E(X^{2})-\mu^{2}}\\=\sqrt{[(0^{2}\times 0.05)+(1^{2}\times 0.15)+(2^{2}\times 0.25)+(3^{2}\times 0.25)+(4^{2}\times 0.30)]-(2.6)^{2}}\\=\sqrt{1.44}\\=1.2[/tex]

Thus, the mean and standard deviation of X is 2.6 and 1.2 respectively.

(b)

The random variable T is defined as the total number of tickets requested by the 150 students graduating this year.

That is, T = 150 X

Compute the mean of T as follows:

[tex]\mu=E(T)\\=E(150\cdot X)\\=150\times E(X)\\=150\times 2.6\\=390[/tex]

Compute the standard deviation of T as follows:

[tex]\sigma=SD(T)\\=SD(150\cdot X)\\=\sqrt{V(150\cdot X)}\\=\sqrt{150^{2}}\times SD(X)\\=150\times 1.2\\=180[/tex]

Thus, the mean and standard deviation of T are 390 and 180 respectively.

(c)

The maximum number of seats at the gym is, 500.

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and we take appropriately huge random samples (n ≥ 30) from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sum of values of X, i.e ∑X, will be approximately normally distributed.  

Here T = total number of seats requested.

Then, the mean of the distribution of the sum of values of X is given by,  

[tex]\mu_{T}=n\times \mu_{X}=390[/tex]  

And the standard deviation of the distribution of the sum of values of X is given by,  

[tex]\sigma_{T}=n\times \sigma_{X}=180[/tex]

So, the distribution of T is N (390, 180²).

Compute the probability that all students’ requests can be accommodated, i.e. less than 500 seats were requested as follows:

[tex]P(T<500)=P(\frac{T-\mu_{T}}{\sigma_{T}}<\frac{500-390}{180})\\=P(Z<0.61)\\=0.72907\\\approx 0.7291[/tex]

Thus, the probability that all students’ requests can be accommodated is 0.7291.

what is the solution for x^2 +14x +15​

Answers

...................................

Step-by-step explanation:

the solution are

x = 1 or x = -15

x^2 + 14x - 15 =0

x^2 + 14x = 15

to write the left hand side as a perfect square we add 49 to both sides :

x^2 + 14x + 49 = 15 + 49

x^2 + 2.x.7 + 7^2 = 64

using the identity (a^2 + b^2) = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

(x + 7)^2 = 64

x + 7 = √64 or x + 7 = -√64

x = 8 - 7 or x = - 8 - 7

= 1 = - 15

A bag of fertilizer covers 3000 square feet of lawn. Find how many bags of fertilizer should be purchased to cover a rectangular lawn 230 feet by 180 feet

Answers

Answer:

14 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of lawn : 230 feet by 180 feet

area of rectangle is given by length * width

Since lawn is rectangular area of lawn = 230 feet * 180 feet = 41,400 sq. feet

Given that one bag of fertilizer covers 3000 square feet of lawn.

Thus , to find no. of bags required to cover whole lawn will be

total area of lawn/area which one bag of  fertilizer covers

no. of bags required to cover whole lawn = 41,400 sq. feet/3000 sq. feet

    = 13.8 bags.

As no. of bags cannot be fractional , hence rounding bag to nearest unit place is 14 bags.

An easy way to find the surface area of a prism is to find the area of each side and add them all together.

Area of rectangle:

14mx10m=140m^2

Area of rectangle:

25mx10=250m^2

Since there are 2 of the long rectangles, you multiply by 2:

250m^2x2=500m^2

Area of triangle:

(24mx14m)/2=168m^2

Since there are 2 triangles, you multiply by 2:

168m^2x2=336m^2

Surface Area:

140+500+336=976m^2

Many random number generators allow users to specify the range of the random numbers to be produced. Suppose that you specify that the random number Y can take any value between 0 and 2. Then the density curve of the outcomes has constant height between 0 and 2, and height 0 elsewhere.
(a) Is the random variable Y discrete or continuous? Why?
This is a discrete random variable because the set of possible values is an interval.
This is a continuous random variable because the set of possible values is an interval.
This is a discrete random variable because it has a finite sample space.
This is a continuous random variable because it has a finite sample space.
(b) What is the height of the density curve between 0 and 2? Draw a graph of the density curve.
(c) Use your graph from (b) and the fact that probability is area under the curve to find P(Y ≤ 1).

Answers

Answer:

a) This is a continuous random variable because the set of possible values is an interval.

b) Height = 0.5

Graph attached.

c) P(Y≤1) = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If the density curve of the outcomes has a constant height, we have a uniform distribution for values between 0 and 2 (outside this range, the density function has a value of 0).

This function is continous and has a value for each real number. The set of possible values has a is an interval between 0 and 2, all with equal probability (the ones that are otuside this interval have 0 probability, so they are not possible values).

b) The height is calculated so that the total area under the density curve has to be equal to 1.

Then, we have to calculate the integral between 0 and 2 of the density function:

[tex]\int\limits^2_0 {U(x)} \, dx =\int\limits^2_0 {H} \, dx =H\int\limits^2_0 dx=H(x_2-x_1)=H(2-0)=1\\\\2H=1\\\\H=0.5[/tex]

The height is H=0.5

(Graph attached)

c) The probability can be calculated by integrating the density function (which is equal to the area under the curve) between 0 and 1, or using the graph.

With the graph, we see that the area is equal to the height (0.5) by the width of the interval (1), so the total area is 0.5 x 1 = 0.5.

The probability P(Y≤1) is equal to 0.5.

Using the uniform distribution, it is found that:

a)

This is a continuous random variable because the set of possible values is an interval.

b)

The height is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], and the sketch is given at the end of this answer.

c)

P(Y ≤ 1) = 0.5

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.  

The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

[tex]P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}[/tex]

In this problem, uniformly distributed between 0 and 2, thus [tex]a = 0, b = 2[/tex].

Item a:

Values in an interval, thus continuous. Discrete are for sample spaces, which is not the case here.

Item b:

The height is:

[tex]h = \frac{1}{b - a} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The graph is sketched at the end of this answer.

Item c:

[tex]P(Y \leq 1) = \frac{1 - 0}{2 - 0} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5[/tex]

Thus, P(Y ≤ 1) = 0.5.

At the Boxer carnival, you can exchange 40 tickets for various assortments of
prizes. Some of those assortments are below. How many tickets does it take
to get a single tacky mirror?
1 goldfish, 2 tacky mirrors, 1 stuffed tiger
5 goldfish, 1 stuffed tiger
2 goldfish, 3 tacky mirrors

Answers

Answer:

g = number of tickets for goldfish

t = number of tickets for tacky mirrors

s = number of tickets for stuffed tiger

1g + 2t + 1s = 40

5g +     + 1s = 40

2g + 3t         = 40

using the second equatin we can find a value for s

1s = 40 -5g

now substitute in the first equation to get rid of s

1g + 2t + (40-5g) = 40

-4g + 2t         = 0

now use this new equation with equation 3 and solve for one of the values

-4g + 2t = 0

2g + 3t  = 40

multipy the second equation by 2 and then combine

-4g + 2t = 0

 4g + 6t = 80

8t = 80

t = 10  (so it takes 10 tickets to get a takcy mirror)

2g + 3(10) = 40

2g = 10

g = 5  (five tickets to get a goldfish)

s = 40 -5(5)

s = 15  (fifteen tickets for a stuffed tiger)

1(5) + 2(10) + 1(15) (substitute back in the first equation)

5 + 20 + 15

Mr. Vectadore is buying two new cowboy hats. All
together the hats cost $75.12. The second hat costs
twice as much as the first hat. What is the price of the
more expensive hat?
Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer:

$50.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use x to represent the lesser expensive hat and 2x to represent the more expensive hat since the more expensive hat is twice the price.

So, our equation would be 2x + x = 75.12

We can combine them together to make 3x.

Then, we make the 3x equal to 75.12

3x = 75.12

Now, we solve it.

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x.

75.12/3 = 25.04

x = 25.04

Lastly, plug it in for 2x to get the price of the more expensive hat.

2(25.04) = ?

2(25.04) = 50.08

Therefore, the price of the more expensive hat is $50.08

the slope is the thing you see before x so in this case y-3=-4x+20 so the slope or m is -4.

The slope of the equation y - 3 = -4 ( x - 5 ) is -4.

Given,

y - 3 = -4 ( x - 5 )

We need to find the slope of this equation.

What is the equation of a line with a slope?

The equation is given by:

y - b = m ( x - a)

Where (a, b) is a point that the line passes through and m = slope.

We have,

y - 3 = -4 ( x - 5 )

Here we see that the equation is in the form of y - b = m ( x - a).

Where,

(a, b) = (5, 3)

m = -4

We have,

Slope = m

m = -4

Thus the slope of the equation y - 3 = -4 ( x - 5 ) is -4.
