Based on a​ poll, among adults who regret getting​ tattoos, ​16% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos. Assume that eight adults who regret getting tattoos are randomly​ selected, and find the indicated probability.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The problem is incomplete, but it is solved using a binomial distribution with [tex]n = 8[/tex] and [tex]p = 0.16[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult who regret getting tattoos, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they say that they were too young, or they do not say this. The answer of an adult is independent of other adults, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

​16% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos.

This means that [tex]p = 0.16[/tex]

Eight adults who regret getting tattoos are randomly​ selected

This means that [tex]n = 8[/tex]

Find the indicated probability.

The binomial distribution is used, with [tex]p = 0.16, n = 8[/tex], that is:

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

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{8,x}.(0.16)^{x}.(0.84)^{8-x}[/tex]

The population standard deviation for the temperature of beers found in Scooter's Tavern is 0.26 degrees. If we want to be 90% confident that the sample mean beer temperature is within 0.1 degrees of the true mean temperature, how many beers must we sample

Answers

Answer:

19 beers must be sampled.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.05 = 0.95[/tex], so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The population standard deviation for the temperature of beers found in Scooter's Tavern is 0.26 degrees.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 0.26[/tex]

If we want to be 90% confident that the sample mean beer temperature is within 0.1 degrees of the true mean temperature, how many beers must we sample?

This is n for which M = 0.1. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.1 = 1.645\frac{0.26}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.1\sqrt{n} = 1.645*0.26[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645*0.26}{0.1}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645*0.26}{0.1})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 18.3[/tex]

Rounding up:

19 beers must be sampled.

show that 43\2^4×5^3 will terminate after how many places of the decimal​

Answers

Answer:

4 places after the decimal.

the result is 0.0215

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume the expression is really

43 / (2⁴ × 5³)

this is the same as

(((((((43 / 2) / 2) / 2) / 2) / 5) / 5) / 5)

since the starting value is an odd number, the first division by 2 creates a first position after the decimal point, and it must be a 5, as the result is xx.5

the second division by 2 splits again the uneven end .5 in half, creating a second position after the decimal point again ending in 5, as the result is now xx.x5

the third division by 2 does the same thing with that last 5 and creates a third position after the decimal point ending again in 5, as the result is now xx.xx5

the fourth division by 2 does again the same thing, a fourth position after the decimal point is created ending in 5. now xx.xxx5

in essence, every division of the 0.5 part by 2 is the same as a multiplication by 0.5, which squares 0.5 leading to 0.5². the next division did the same thing leading to 0.5³.

and finally the fourth division to 0.5⁴.

0.5⁴ = (5/10)⁴ = 5⁴/10⁴

so, now we start to divide this result by 5. since the positions after the decimal point are divisible by 5 without remainder, as we have 5⁴ to work with.

every divisible by 5 takes one of these powers away.

so, we go from 5⁴/10⁴ to 5³/10⁴ to 5²/10⁴ to 5/10⁴.

all the time we maintain the 10⁴ in the denominator of the fraction. and that determines the positions after the decimal point.

so, after all the individual divisions we come to and end and are still limited to the 4 positions after the decimal point.

- 2x + 38 = 2(3 + 3x)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x +38 = 2(3 + 3x)

-2x + 38 = 2*3 + 2*3x

-2x + 38 = 6 + 6x

Add 2x to both sides

38 = 6 + 6x + 2x  

Combine like terms

38 = 6 + 8x

Subtract 8  from both sides

38 - 6 = 8x

8x = 32

Divide both sides by 8

x = 32/8

x = 4

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 38 = 2(3 + 3x)

Use distributive property to multiply 2 by 3 and 3x

-2x + 38 = 2 ×3 + 2 × 3x -2x + 38 = 6 + 6x

subtract 6x from both side

-2x + 38 - 6x = 6 + 6x - 6x

combine -2x and -6x to get -8x

-8x + 38 = 6

subtract 38 from both side

-8x + 38 - 38 = 6 - 38

subtract 38 from 6 to get -32

-8x = -32

divide both side by -8

[tex] \small \sf \frac{-8x}{ -8} = \frac{-32}{-8} \\ \\ \small \sf x = \frac{- 32}{-8}[/tex]

divide -32 by -8 to get 4

Marco can paddle his canoe at a rate of 6 miles per hour on unmoving water. However, today Marco is canoeing down (with the current), and then back up (against the current), a river that's moving at a rate of 1 mile per hour, so the current affects his rate of speed. If it takes Marco 6 total hours to go x miles downstream and then return to his starting point, how far downstream does he travel?
A) 1.25 miles
B) 2.5 miles
C) 5 miles
D) 17.5 miles

Answers

Answer:

S = v1 t1 = 7 t1    traveling downstream

S = v2 t2 = 5 t2    traveling upstream

7 t1 = 5 t2

7 (6 - t2) = 5 t2     since t1 + t2 = 6

42 - 7 t2 = 5 t2

t2 = 42 / 12 = 3.5 hrs so t1 = 2.5 hrs

S = 7 t1 = 7 * 2.5 = 17.5 mi

Also, S = 5 t2 = 5 * 3.5 = 17.5 mi

Let f(x) = (x − 1)2, g(x) = e−2x, and h(x) = 1 + ln(1 − 2x). (a) Find the linearizations of f, g, and h at a = 0. What do you notice? How do you explain what happened?

Answers

Answer:

Lf(x) = Lg(x) = Lh(x) =  1 - 2x

value of the functions and their derivative are the same at x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

f(x) = (x − 1)^2,  

g(x) = e^−2x ,  

h(x) = 1 + ln(1 − 2x).

a) Determine Linearization of  f, g and h  at a = 0

L(x) = f (a) + f'(a) (x-a)  ( linearization of f at a )

for f(x) = (x − 1)^2  

f'(x ) = 2( x - 1 )

at x = 0

f' = -2  

hence the Linearization at a = 0

Lf (x) = f(0) + f'(0) ( x - 0 )

Lf (x) = 1 -2 ( x - 0 ) = 1 - 2x

For g(x) = e^−2x

g'(x) = -2e^-2x

at x = 0

g(0) = 1

g'(0) = -2e^0 = -2

hence linearization at a = 0

Lg(x) = g ( 0 ) + g' (0) (x - 0 )

Lg(x) = 1 - 2x

For h(x) = 1 + ln(1 − 2x).

h'(x) =  -2 / ( 1 - 2x )

at x = 0

h(0) = 1

h'(0) = -2

hence linearization at a = 0

Lh(x) = h(0) + h'(0) (x-0)

        = 1 - 2x

Observation and reason

The Linearization is the same in every function i.e. Lf(x) = Lg(x) = Lh(x) this is because the value of the functions and their derivative are the same at x = 0

Number of random sample = 9 children

Find:

Probability[Number of 6 random sample do not have cavities]

Computation:

n = 9

p = 60% = 0.6

P(At least 6)  

Probability[Number of 6 random sample do not have cavities] = 1 - P(Less than 6)

y=2x + 3

pls give an explanation if you don’t have one still pls give an answer

Answers

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

y/x has to be the same number no matter what except at point (0 0) which it must also include for it to be a direct variation.

*y=2x+3 is not a direct variation because you can not write it as y/x=k where k is some constant number. If we were y=2x, then yes since y/x=2.

*You could also take two points and see if they are proportional. That is, you can see if y2/x2 gives the same value as y1/x1 where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are points on the line y=2x+3. This must work for every pair of points on the linear relation except at x=0 (where you would or should have y=0 if it is directly proportional).

Let's try it out. If x=1, then y=2(1)+3=5.

5/1=5

If x=2, then y=2(2)+3=7

7/2=3.5

As you can see 5 doesn't equal 3.5.

*For it to be a direct variation, it also must contain the point (0,0) and be a diagonal line when graphed. It can also be written in form y=kx where k is a constant number. This fails two of the the things I mentioned. It doesn't contain point (0,0) because y=2(0)+3=3 not 0. It cannot be written in form y=kx because of the plus 3.

If it were y=2x, then the answer would be yes.

In preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Fresh Toy Company (FTC) designed a new doll called The Dougie that teaches children how to dance. The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $34 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $42 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday selling season is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of 60,000 dolls with a standard deviation of 15,000. The normal probability distribution is assumed to be a good description of the demand. FTC has tentatively decided to produce 60,000 units (the same as average demand), but it wants to conduct an analysis regarding this production quantity before finalizing the decision.
(a) Create a what-if spreadsheet model using formulas that relate the values of production quantity, demand, sales, revenue from sales, amount of surplus, revenue from sales of surplus, total cost, and net profit. What is the profit corresponding to average demand (60,000 units)? $
(b) Modeling demand as a normal random variable with a mean of 60,000 and a standard deviation of 15,000, simulate the sales of The Dougie doll using a production quantity of 60,000 units. What is the estimate of the average profit associated with the production quantity of 60,000 dolls? $ How does this compare to the profit corresponding to the average demand (as computed in part a)? The input in the box below will not be graded, but may be reviewed and considered by your instructor
(c) Before making a final decision on the production quantity, management wants an analysis of a more aggressive 70,000-unit production quantity and a more conservative 50,000-unit production quantity. Run your simulation with these two production quantities. What is the mean profit associated with each? When ordering 50,000 units, the average profit is approximately $. When ordering 70,000 units, the average profit is approximately $.
(d) Besides mean profit, what other factors should FTC consider in determining a production quantity? Compare the four production quantities (40,000; 50,000; 60,000; and 70,000) using all these factors. What trade-offs occur? If required, round Probability of a Loss to three decimal places and Probability of a Shortage to two decimal places. What is your recommendation? The input in the box below will not be graded, but may be reviewed and considered by your instructor.

The standard deviation

First, calculate the expected value E(x)

[tex]E(x) = \sum x * P(x)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]E(x) = 0 * 0.2 + 1 * 0.1 + 2 * 0.1 + 3 * 0.2 + 4 * 0.2 + 5 * 0.2[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 2.7[/tex]

Next, calculate E(x^2)

[tex]E(x^2) = \sum x^2 * P(x)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]E(x^2) = 0^2 * 0.2 + 1^2 * 0.1 + 2^2 * 0.1 + 3^2 * 0.2 + 4^2 * 0.2 + 5^2 * 0.2[/tex]

[tex]E(x^2) = 10.5[/tex]

The standard deviation is:

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

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{10.5 - 2.7^2}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{10.5 - 7.29}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{3.21}[/tex]
