Answer:

28 centimeters (cm) is equal to 280 millimeters (mm).

Step-by-step explanation:

This conversion can be done by multiplying the number of centimeters by 10 since there are 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter. So, 28 cm x 10 mm/cm = 280 mm.

The coordinates of the point 'r' that lies along the directed segment from j (10, -5) to k (-2, -3) are equal to the ( 2/3 , -4 ).

We have, coordinates of the point r that lies along the directed line segment from j (10, -5) to k (-2, -3). The ratio of partitions of segment = 2 : 7

Internal section formula, Let consider M(x, y) be the point which divides line segment PQ internally in the ratio m : n. Then, the coordinates of M are calculated by below formula,

M = {[(mx₂ + nx₁ )/(m+n)], [(my₂ + ny₁)/(m+n)]}

j(10, -5) = (x₁,y₁), k(-2,-3) = (x₂,y₂)

Now we can determine the co-ordinate of r by substituting all values, Also, m : n = 2 : 7

r = {[2(10) + 7(-2)/ 2+7 ],[(3(-5) +7(- 3))/2+7 ]}

={[ (20 - 14)/9 ],[(-15 - 21) / 10]}

={6/9 , - 36/9}

= ( 2/3 , -4 )

Hence, required coordinates of r are ( 2/3 , -4 ).

A lot of 1000 components contains 300 that are defective. Two components are drawn at random and tested.

a) P(A) is 0.3

b) P(B|A) is 299/999

c) P(A ∩ B) is 0.089

d) P(A' ∩ B) is 0.211

e) P(B) is 0.3

f) P(A|B) is 0.297

g) A and B are not independent, therefore, it is not reasonable to treat A and B as though they were independent

a) P(A) is the probability that the first component drawn is defective. Since there are 300 defective components out of 1000, the probability that the first component drawn is defective is:

P(A) = 300/1000 = 0.3

b) P(B|A) is the conditional probability that the second component drawn is defective given that the first component drawn is defective. Since there are now 299 defective components left out of 999, the probability that the second component drawn is defective given that the first component drawn is defective is:

P(B|A) = 299/999

c) P(A ∩ B) is the probability that both the first and second components drawn are defective. Since there are 300 defective components out of 1000, the probability that the first component drawn is defective is 0.3. If the first component drawn is defective, then there are now 299 defective components left out of 999.

So the probability that the second component drawn is defective given that the first component drawn is defective is 299/999. Therefore, the probability that both components are defective is:

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) * P(B|A) = 0.3 * 299/999 = 0.089

d) P(A' ∩ B) is the probability that the first component drawn is not defective (i.e., it is good) and the second component drawn is defective. Since there are 700 good components out of 1000, the probability that the first component drawn is good is:

P(A') = 700/1000 = 0.7

If the first component drawn is good, then there are 299 defective components left out of 999. So the probability that the second component drawn is defective given that the first component drawn is good is:

P(B|A') = 299/999

Therefore, the probability that the first component drawn is good and the second component drawn is defective is:

P(A' ∩ B) = P(A') * P(B|A') = 0.7 * 299/999 = 0.211

e) P(B) is the probability that the second component drawn is defective. There are 300 defective components out of 1000, so the probability that the second component drawn is defective is:

P(B) = 300/1000 = 0.3

f) P(A|B) is the conditional probability that the first component drawn is defective given that the second component drawn is defective. Using Bayes' theorem, we have:

P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B) = (0.3 * 299/999) / 0.3 = 0.089 / 0.3 = 0.297

g) A and B are not independent, because the probability of B depends on whether or not A has occurred. In other words, the probability of drawing a defective component for the second draw depends on whether or not the first draw yielded a defective component.

If A has occurred (i.e., the first component drawn is defective), then the probability of B is higher than if A had not occurred. Therefore, it is not reasonable to treat A and B as though they were independent.

c. The interquartile range (IQR) is 1.5

d. There are more data in the interval 10–13

e. The interval has the fewest data in it is 10 - 12.

In statistics, a box plot is a graphical representation of a set of data that shows its distribution, median, and quartiles. It can be used to quickly and easily identify the range, spread, and skewness of a data set. Now let's take a look at the box plot you provided and answer your questions.

a. The quarter with the smallest spread of data is the second quarter, which ranges from approximately 4 to 6. The spread of this quarter can be calculated as the difference between the upper quartile (Q3) and the lower quartile (Q1), which is approximately 0.5.

b. The quarter with the largest spread of data is the fourth quarter, which ranges from approximately 10 to 13. The spread of this quarter can also be calculated as the difference between Q3 and Q1, which is approximately 2.5.

c. The interquartile range (IQR) is a measure of the spread of the middle 50% of the data and is calculated as the difference between Q3 and Q1. In this case, the IQR is approximately 1.5 (6 - 4.5).

d. To determine whether there are more data in the interval 5-10 or 10-13, we can look at the box plot and see that the box and whiskers cover a larger range for the interval 10-13. Therefore, there are likely more data points in this interval.

e. To determine which interval has the fewest data, we can look at the box plot and see which interval has the smallest box and shortest whiskers. In this case, that would be the interval 10-12, which has a relatively small box and short whiskers compared to the other intervals. Therefore, we can conclude that this interval has the fewest data points.

The solution to the system of linear equations can be expressed in vector form as:

x = [x1, x2, x3, x4] = [2-3x3-x4, 3+6x3+x4, x3, x4]

Breaking down the vector components:

A = [-3, 0, 1, 0]

a = [-1, 0, 0, -1]

B = [2, 3, 0, 0]

b = [0, 0, 1, 0]

bb = [0, 0, 0, 1]

C = [0, 0, 1, 0]

cc = [0, 0, 1, 0]

D = [0, 0, 0, 1]

dd = [0, 0, 0, 1]

To obtain this solution in vector form, we first rewrite the equations in standard form:

x1 + 3x3 + x4 = 2

x2 - 6x3 - x4 = 3

Then, we can write the solution as a combination of the homogeneous solution (the particular solution) and the non-homogeneous solution (the vector on the right-hand side). The homogeneous solution is obtained by setting the right-hand side to zero and solving for x3 and x4:

x1 + 3x3 + x4 = 0

x2 - 6x3 - x4 = 0

which gives x3 = -1/3 and x4 = 0. Therefore, the homogeneous solution is [0, 0, -1/3, 0].

The non-homogeneous solution is obtained by setting x3 and x4 to zero and solving for x1 and x2:

x1 = 2

x2 = 3

Therefore, the non-homogeneous solution is [2, 3, 0, 0].

Combining the homogeneous and non-homogeneous solutions, we obtain the final solution in vector form:

x = [0, 0, -1/3, 0] + [2, 3, 0, 0] = [2-3x3-x4, 3+6x3+x4, x3, x4]

The Slope of the lines made from given points will be For A slope=1 and For B slope=∞.

What exactly is a Slope?

A slope of a line is defined as the change in y coordinate divided by the change in x coordinate.

The net change in y-coordinate is denoted by Δy, whereas the net change in x-coordinate is denoted by Δx.

As a result, the change in y-coordinate in relation to the change in x-coordinate is given by,

m = difference in y/difference in x = Δy/Δx=y2-y1/x2-x1

Where "m" shows the slope of a line.

The line's slope may alternatively be represented by

tan θ = Δy/Δx

In general, the slope of a line indicates its steepness and direction. The slope of a straight line between two locations, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), is simply calculated by finding the difference of the coordinate points.

b) Approximately 40, 42, 45, and 49 rabbits on the island after 1, 5, 10, and 15 months.

a) To find the solution to the equation with the initial condition, do we need to solve the differential equation x? = x ? (1/1000)x² with the initial condition x(0) = 40.

Separating variables and integrating, we get:

dx/x = (1/1000) dt

Integrating both sides, we get:

ln|x| = (1/1000) t + C

where C is a constant of integration.

Using the initial condition x(0) = 40, we can solve for C:

ln|40| = C

C = ln|40|

Substituting this value of C, we get:

ln|x| = (1/1000) t + ln|40|

Simplifying, we get:

x = [tex]e^{(ln|40|+(1/1000) t)[/tex] = 40[tex]e^{(t/1000)}[/tex]

Therefore, the solution to the differential equation with the initial condition is x = 40[tex]e^{(t/1000)}[/tex].

b) To find the number of rabbits on the island after 1 month, 5 months, 10 months, and 15 months, we simply substitute the given values of t into the solution and round to the nearest integer.

After 1 month, x = 40[tex]e^{(1/1000)}[/tex] ≈ 40.04, so there are approximately 40 rabbits on the island.

After 5 months, x = 40[tex]e^{(5/1000)}[/tex] ≈ 41.67, so there are approximately 42 rabbits on the island.

After 10 months, x = 40[tex]e^{(10/1000)}[/tex] ≈ 45.26, so there are approximately 45 rabbits on the island.

After 15 months, x = 40[tex]e^{(15/1000)}[/tex] ≈ 49.28, so there are approximately 49 rabbits on the island.

Therefore, there are approximately 40, 42, 45, and 49 rabbits on the island after 1, 5, 10, and 15 months, respectively.

The vectors [8 -2 6] and [12 -3 9] are option (c) linearly independent because neither vector is a multiple of the other.

A vector is an entity that has both magnitude and direction. It is represented by an ordered set of numbers, which correspond to the coordinates of its endpoint in a given coordinate system.

In this problem, we are given two vectors: [8 -2 6] and [12 -3 9]. To determine if they are linearly independent or not, we need to check if one vector can be expressed as a linear combination of the other.

Let us assume that the first vector can be expressed as a linear combination of the second vector. That is, there exist constants a, b, and c such that:

[8 -2 6] = a[12 -3 9] + b

where b is a vector. Simplifying the above equation, we get:

8 = 12a + b1

-2 = -3a + b2

6 = 9a + b3

where b1, b2, and b3 are the respective components of vector b. Now, we can solve for a, b1, b2, and b3 using the system of linear equations. Solving for a, we get a = 2/3. Substituting this value in the remaining equations, we get:

b1 = -4/3, b2 = -2/3, and b3 = 2/3

Therefore, the vector b is [-4/3 -2/3 2/3]. We can verify that the first vector cannot be expressed as a linear combination of the second vector and b. Hence, the given vectors are linearly independent.

Since (-6, -8) is not a solution to both equations in the system, it is not a solution to the system of equations.

The definition of an equation in algebra is a mathematical statement that demonstrates the equality of two mathematical expressions.

Now in the given question ,

We can check if (-6, -8) is a solution to the system of equations by plugging in these values for x and y in each equation and verifying if both equations are true.

For the first equation y = (1/2)x - 3, if we substitute x = -6 and y = -8, we get:

-8 = (1/2)(-6) - 3

-8 = -3 - 3

-8 = -6

This is not true, so (-6, -8) is not a solution to the first equation.

For the second equation y = (5/2)x + 7, if we substitute x = -6 and y = -8, we get:

-8 = (5/2)(-6) + 7

-8 = -15 + 7

-8 = -8

This equation is true, so (-6, -8) is a solution to the second equation.

Since (-6, -8) is not a solution to both equations in the system, it is not a solution to the system of equations.
