Proportion problems

An example is:

y is directly proportional to x such that: y=4 when x = 2;

Derive the equation

For direct proportions, we have:

[tex]y\ \alpha\ x[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]y = kx[/tex]

Make k the subject

[tex]k = y/x[/tex]

So:

[tex]k = 4/2 =2[/tex]

So, the equation is:

[tex]y = kx[/tex]

[tex]y = 2x[/tex]

Assume the above question is for inverse proportion

The variation will be:

[tex]y\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{x}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]y\ = \frac{k}{x}[/tex]

Make k the subject

[tex]k =x*y[/tex]

[tex]k =2* 4 = 8[/tex]

So, the equation is:

[tex]y\ = \frac{k}{x}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{8}{x}[/tex]

g ) If it is raining, a home security system detects an intruder with probability 0.70. If it is NOT raining, the probability becomes 0.92. The probability of rain on any 2 given day is 0.25. To test the system on a randomly chosen day, the system technician pretends to be an intruder. Given that the technician will NOT be detected, what is the probability that it is NOT raining

Answers

Answer:

0.4444 = 44.44% probability that it is NOT raining

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Technician not detected.

Event B: Not raining.

Probability the technician is not detected:

0.3 of 0.25(raining).

0.08 of 0.75(not raining). So

[tex]P(A) = 0.3*0.25 + 0.08*0.75 = 0.135[/tex]

Probability the technician is not detected and it is not raining:

0.08 of 0.75. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.08*0.75 = 0.06[/tex]

Given that the technician will NOT be detected, what is the probability that it is NOT raining?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.06}{0.135} = 0.4444[/tex]

0.4444 = 44.44% probability that it is NOT raining

The holding tanks are congruent in size, and both are in the shape of a cylinder that has been cut in half vertically. The bottom of the tank is a curved surface. What is the volume of both tanks if the radius of tank #1 is 15 feet and the height of tank #2 is 120 feet? You must explain your answer using words, and you must show all work and calculations.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  42,412 ft³ each tank

  84,823 ft³ both tanks added together

Step-by-step explanation:

"Congruent in size" means both tanks have the same dimensions. Each has a radius of 15 ft and a length of 120 ft. Each has half the volume of a cylinder with those dimensions.

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is ...

  V = πr²h

where r is the cylinder radius, and h is the length of its axis.

We want the volume of half a cylinder with r=15 and h=120 (dimensions in ft). We can compute that using ...

  V = 1/2π(15 ft)²(120 ft) = π(225 ft²)(60 ft)= 13500π ft³

If we want the volume to the nearest cubic foot, we need a value of pi that is at least 7 significant digits (3.14 isn't appropriate). Then the volume is about ...

  (13,500)(3.141593) ft³ ≈ 42,411.5 ft³ ≈ 42,412 ft³

Both tanks have a volume of 42,412 ft³ each.

_____

The question, "What is the volume of both tanks?" is ambiguous. We're not sure if the combined volume is intended, or if the volume of each of the two tanks is intended. Both numbers are provided, so you can sort it out as you see fit.

Allie rode her bike up a hill at an average speed of 12 feet/second. She then rode back down the hill at an average speed of 60 feet/second. The entire trip took her 2 minutes. What is the total distance she traveled. [Hint: use t = time traveling down the hill]

Answers

Answer:

The total distance Allie traveled was 0.81 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Allie rode her bike up a hill at an average speed of 12 feet / second, and she then rode back down the hill at an average speed of 60 feet / second, and the entire trip took her 2 minutes, to determine what is the total distance she traveled, the following calculation must be performed:

12 + 60 = 72

72 x 60 = 4320

1000 feet = 0.189394 miles

4320 feet = 0.8181818 miles

Therefore, the total distance Allie traveled was 0.81 miles.

The following measurements (in picocuries per liter) were recorded by a set of argon gas detectors installed in a research facility:

381.3,394.8,396.1,380
Using these measurements, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean level of argon gas present in the facility. Assume the population is approximately normal.

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the mean level of argon gas present in the facility is (374.4, 401.7).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we have to find the sample mean and the sample standard deviation.

Sample mean:

[tex]\overline{x} = \frac{381.3+394.8+396.1+380}{4} = 388.05[/tex]

Sample standard deviation:

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{(381.3-388.05)^2+(394.8-388.05)^2+(396.1-388.05)^2+(380-388.05)^2}{3}} = 8.58[/tex]

Confidence interval:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 4 - 1 = 3

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 3 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 3.1824

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 3.1824\frac{8.58}{\sqrt{4}} = 13.65[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 388.05 - 13.65 = 374.4

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 388.05 + 13.65 = 401.7

The 95% confidence interval for the mean level of argon gas present in the facility is (374.4, 401.7).

An exterior angle of a regular convex polygon is 40°. What is the number of sides of the polygon?

A. 8

B. 9

C. 10

D.11

Answers

Answer:

option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of interior angles of a polygon with n sides:

                                                                          [tex]= (n - 2 )\times 180[/tex]

[tex]Therefore, Each \ interior \ angle = (\frac{n - 2}{n} )\times 180[/tex]

[tex]Sum \ of \ one \ of \ the \ interior \ angle \ with \ its \ exterior \ angle \ is \ 180^\circ[/tex]

                      [tex][ \ because \ straight \ line \ angle = 180^\circ \ ][/tex]

That is ,

[tex]Exterior \ angle + Interior \ angle = 180^\circ\\\\40^ \circ + (\frac{n-2}{n}) \times 180 = 180^\circ\\\\40 n + 180n - 360 = 180n\\\\40n = 180n - 180n + 360 \\\\40n = 360 \\\\n = 9[/tex]

OR

Sum of exterior angles of a regular polygon = 360

Given 1 exterior angle of the regular polygon is  40

(b) 0.0530.
(c) 0.1607.
(d) 1.2143.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a jar contains 4 pieces of gum, 7 pieces of candy, and 3 pieces of mint, and each time you draw out an item, you record the outcome and put the item back in the jar before making another draw, to determine what is the probability that you get exactly the sequence candy-mint-candy, in that order, the following calculation should be performed:

4 + 7 + 3 = 14

7/14 x 3/14 x 7/14 = X

0.5 x 0.2142 x 0.5 = X

0.053 = X

Therefore, the probability that the chosen sequence will be obtained is 0.0530, or 5.3%.

Answer:

306 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the shape into 2 rectangles.

Lets do the one that is sticking to the top first.

The area is 6 * 15, which is 90.

Lets do the second rectangle. The area is:

27 * 8, which is 216.

Add them all up (90 + 216), which is 306.

Answer:

306m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the shape into two rectangles with the accureate lengths

The top-most of the two rectangles with length 6m and width 15m:

6 x 15 = 90 m² (area of rectangle A)

The bottom rectangle:

27(full length) x 8m(full width) = 216m²

Add the two areas together for the full shape

216 + 90 = 306m²
