A point is selected at random from a line segment of length l, dividing it into two line segments. What is the probability that the longer line segment is at least three times as long as the shorter segment

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the length of the shorter line segment and b be the length of the longer line segment.

Since the length of the line segment is l, we have that the length of the line segment equals length of shorter line segment + length of longer line segment.

So, l = a + b

Since we require that the longer line segment be at least three times longer than the shorter line segment, we have that b = 3a

So, l = a + b

l = a + 3a

l = 4a

The probability that the shorter line segment will be a(or 3 times shorter than b) is P(a) = length of shorter line segment/length of line segment = a/l

Since l = 4a.

a/l = 1/4

So, P(a) = 1/4

The probability that a will be less than 3 times shorter that b is P(a ≤ 1) = P(0) + P(a) = 0 + 1/4 = 1/4

The probability that b will be 3 times or more greater than a is thus P(b ≥ 3) = 1 - P(a ≤ 1) = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

Answer:  45 degrees

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

Work Shown:

We can apply the law of cosines

a^2 = b^2+c^2-2*b*c*cos(A)

(sqrt(5))^2 = (sqrt(2))^2+(3)^2-2*(sqrt(2))*(3)*cos(A)

5 = 2+9-6*(sqrt(2))*cos(A)

5 = 11-6*(sqrt(2))*cos(A)

11-6*(sqrt(2))*cos(A) = 5

-6*(sqrt(2))*cos(A) = 5-11

-6*(sqrt(2))*cos(A) = -6

(sqrt(2))*cos(A) = -6/(-6)

(sqrt(2))*cos(A) = 1

cos(A) = 1/(sqrt(2))

cos(A) = sqrt(2)/2

A = 45 degrees

CNBC recently reported that the mean annual cost of auto insurance is 1013 dollars. Assume the standard deviation is 284 dollars. You take a simple random sample of 56 auto insurance policies. Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is less than 995 dollars. P(X < 995)

Answers

Answer:

P(X < 995) = 0.4761

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

CNBC recently reported that the mean annual cost of auto insurance is 1013 dollars. Assume the standard deviation is 284 dollars.

This means that [tex]\mu = 1013, \sigma = 284[/tex]

Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is less than 995 dollars.

This is the p-value of Z when X = 995. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{995 - 1013}{284}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.06[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.06[/tex] has a p-value of 0.4761. So

P(X < 995) = 0.4761

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Least = 2403[/tex]

[tex]Highest = 11998[/tex]

[tex]n = 225[/tex]

Required

The number of class

To calculate the number of class, the following must be true

[tex]2^k > n[/tex]

Where k is the number of classes

So, we have:

[tex]2^k > 225[/tex]

Take logarithm of both sides

[tex]\log(2^k) > \log(225)[/tex]

Apply law of logarithm

[tex]k\log(2) > \log(225)[/tex]

Divide both sides by log(2)

[tex]k > \frac{\log(225)}{\log(2)}[/tex]

[tex]k > 7.8[/tex]

Round up to get the least number of classes

[tex]k = 8[/tex]

Answer:

 10x +9y = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the tangent line at a point is ...

  y -f(a) = f'(a)(x -a)

For the given function,

  f(x) = 10/x

The derivative is ...

  f'(x) = -10/x^2

Then the equation of the tangent line is ...

  y -10/3 = -10/9(x -3) . . . . equation of the tangent line (point-slope form)

Clearing fractions, we have ...

  9y -30 = -10(x -3) = -10x +30

The average height of a current NBA player is 79 inches with a standard deviation of 3.4 inches. A random sample of 35 current NBA players is taken. What is the probability that the mean height of the 35 NBA players will be more than 80 inches?

Answers

Answer:

0.0409 = 4.09% probability that the mean height of the 35 NBA players will be more than 80 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The average height of a current NBA player is 79 inches with a standard deviation of 3.4 inches.

This means that [tex]\mu = 79, \sigma = 3.4[/tex]

A random sample of 35 current NBA players is taken.

This means that [tex]n = 35, s = \frac{3.4}{\sqrt{35}}[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean height of the 35 NBA players will be more than 80 inches?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 80. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{80 - 79}{\frac{3.4}{\sqrt{35}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.74[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.74[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9591

1 - 0.9591 = 0.0409

0.0409 = 4.09% probability that the mean height of the 35 NBA players will be more than 80 inches.

If you plot this angle in the coordinate plane, you will find yourself in the fourth quadrant with a referencew angle of 30. Constructing the triangle from that reference angle and using the Pythagorean triple for a 30-60-90 triangle, you get that the side adjacent to the reference angle is √3, the side opposite the reference angle is a -1, and the hypotenuse (which is NEVER negative!) is 2. The x and y coordinates of the terminal point result from the cos (related to the x coordinate) and the sin (related to the y coordinate). The cos of 30:

[tex]cos(30)=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex] and the sin of 30:

[tex]sin(30)=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex] so the coordinates of the terminal point on that angle are

[tex](\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2},-\frac{1}{2})[/tex]

You could also just go to your unit circle, find the angle 330 and look at the coordiantes they give you there for (cos, sin). But I'm a high school math teacher so I wanted you to know how to find this outside of the unti circle. Cuz what if you lost it!?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]c = \frac{1}{12}[/tex]

The mean of the distribution is 0.25.

The variance of the distribution is of 0.6875.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability density function:

For it to be a probability function, the sum of the probabilities must be 1. The probabilities are 3c, 3c and 6c, so:

[tex]3c + 3c + 6c = 1[/tex]

[tex]12c = 1[/tex]

[tex]c = \frac{1}{12}[/tex]

So the probability distribution is:

[tex]P(X = -1) = 3c = 3\frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = 3c = 3\frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = 6c = 6\frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5[/tex]

Mean:

Sum of each outcome multiplied by its probability. So

[tex]E(X) = -1(0.25) + 0(0.25) + 1(0.5) = -0.25 + 0.5 = 0.25[/tex]

The mean of the distribution is 0.25.

Variance:

Sum of the difference squared between each value and the mean, multiplied by its probability. So

[tex]V^2(X) = 0.25(-1-0.25)^2 + 0.25(0 - 0.25)^2 + 0.5(1 - 0.25)^2 = 0.6875[/tex]

The variance of the distribution is of 0.6875.

Comparison of numbers can be done a couple of different ways. One way is to subtract one from the other. If the difference is positive, the minuend (first number) is the larger of the two.

Another way is to divide one number by the other. If the ratio is more than 1, then the numerator is the larger number.

For numbers in scientific notation, the division is perhaps the easiest. Here, that gives you ...

  [tex]\displaystyle\frac{\text{water mass}}{\text{oxygen mass}}=\frac{2.99\times10^{-26}\text{ kg}}{2.66\times10^{-26}\text{ kg}}=\frac{2.99}{2.66}\approx 1.12[/tex]

This value is greater than 1, so the mass of a water molecule is greater.
