In a lumberjack competition, a contestant is blindfolded and then spun around 9 times. The contestant then immediately tries to hit a single point (the target) in the middle of a horizontal log with an axe (while still blindfolded). The contestant receives

15 points if their swing is within 3cm of the target.
10 points if their swing is between 3cm and 10cm of the target.
5 points if their swing is between 10cm and 20cm of the target
zero points if their swing is further away from the target (and someone may lose a finger!).

Let Y record the position of the hit, so that Y = y > 0 corresponds to missing the target point to the right by y cm and Y = - y < 0 corresponds to missing the target to the left by y cm. Assume that Y is normally distributed with mean mu = 0 and variance 100 cm^2. Find the expected number of points that the contestant wins.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

9.364 is the expected number of points.

we can approximate this to 10 points if we want a whole number

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these variables:

[0,5,10,15]

P(x= 0) = p(y>20)+p(y<-20) = 2p(y>20)

P(x=5) = p(-20<=y<=10)+p(10<=y<=20) = 2p(10<=y<=20)

P(x=10) = p(-10<=y<=-3)+p(3<=y<=10) = 2p(3<=y<=10)

P(x=15) = p(-3<=y<=3) = 2p(0<=y<=3)

Z = y/10

Therefore

P(x= 0) = 2(y>20)

= 2p(z>2) = 2(1-p<=2)

= 2(1-0.9772)

= 0.0456

P(x= 5)

= 2p(10<=y<=20)

= 2p(1<=z<=2)

= 2(0.9772-0.8413)

= 0.2718

P(x= 10)

= 2p(3<=y<=10)

= 2p(0.3<=z<=1)

= 2(0.8413-0.6179)

= 0.4468

P(x = 15)

= P(0.6179-0.3821)

= 0.2358

To get expected value of Y

0(0.0456)+5(0.2718)+10(0.4468)+15(0.2358)

= 1.359 + 4.468 + 3.537

= 9.364

E[Y] = 9.364

Find the value of k that makes the function continuous

Answers

Answer:

13/3

OR

4.33333

Step-by-step explanation:

For this function to be continuous, the second function must have the value of the limit as x approaches 3 of the first function.

To find [tex]\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{2x^2-3-15}{x-3}[/tex] we have to factor the top of the fraction

2x^2 - 3 -15

2x^2 - 18

2* (x^2 - 9)

2 * (x + 3) (x - 3)

this is perfect because this cancels out the x - 3 on the bottom

so the function become f(x) = 2 * (x + 3)

When 3 is plugged in it becomes 2 * (3 + 3) = 2 * 6 = 12

Now if you plug in 3 to the second function and make it equal to 12, you can find the value of k.

k*(3) - 1 = 12

k*3 = 13

k = 13/3

k = 4.33

Isandro and Yvette each have a calculator. Yvette starts at 100 and subtracts 7 each time. Isandro starts at 0 and adds 3 each time. If they press the keys at the same time, will their displays ever show the same number? If so, what is the number?

Answers

Answer: 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Yvette- 100-7

Isandro- 0+3

1.) I'm going to speed up the process and multiply by 5.

Yvette: 100-7

7  × 5 = 35

100-35= 65

65-35= 30

Isandro: 0+3

3 × 5 = 15

0+15= 15

15+15= 30

2.) If they keep going on this pattern they will have the same number on the 10 round.

Find the derivative of the function using the definition of derivative.

f(x) = 1/10x-1/3

Answers

Answer:

(i) The derivative of the function is [tex]f' = \frac{1}{10}[/tex].

(ii) The domain of all first order polynomials (linear functions) is the set of all real numbers. That is:

[tex]Dom\{f(x)\} = \mathbb{R}[/tex]

The domain of all zero order polynomials (constant functions) is the set of all real numbers. That is:

[tex]Dom\{f'\} = \mathbb{R}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Find the derivative of the function using the definition of derivative:

The derivative is defined by the following limit:

[tex]f' = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}[/tex] (1)

If we know that [tex]f(x) = \frac{1}{10}\cdot x - \frac{1}{3}[/tex], then the definition of derivative is expanded:

[tex]f' = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\frac{1}{10}\cdot (x+h) - \frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{10}\cdot x +\frac{1}{3}}{h}[/tex]

[tex]f' = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\frac{1}{10}\cdot h }{h}[/tex]

[tex]f' = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{1}{10}[/tex]

[tex]f' = \frac{1}{10}[/tex]

The derivative of the function is [tex]f' = \frac{1}{10}[/tex].

(ii) State the domain of the function and the domain of its derivative:

The domain of all first order polynomials (linear functions) is the set of all real numbers. That is:

[tex]Dom\{f(x)\} = \mathbb{R}[/tex]

The domain of all zero order polynomials (constant functions) is the set of all real numbers. That is:

price of a visit to the dentist is $50 if the dentist fills any cavities and additional charge of $100 for cavity gets added to the bill if it doesn't find any cavities what was the cause of the visit me​

Answers

Answer:

The visit will cost you $50

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

Variable x = number of cavities

Variable y = cost of visit

y = 50 + 100x

If you had no cavities then x will equal 0

y = 50 + 100(0)

Anything multiplied by 0 is 0

y = 50 + 0

y = 50

Answer:

[tex]S_{25}=555[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

In an AP, the 6th term is 39 i.e.

[tex]a_6=a+5d\\\\39=a+5d\ ....(1)[/tex]

In the same AP, the 19th term is 7.8 i.e.

[tex]a_{19}=a+18d\\\\7.8=a+18d\ ......(2)[/tex]

Subtract equation (1) from (2).

7.8 - 39 = a+18d - (a+5d)

-31.2 = a +18d-a-5d

-31.2 = 13d

d = -2.4

Put the value of d in equation (!).

39 = a+5(-2.4)

39 = a- 12

a = 39+12

a = 51

The sum of n terms of an AP is given by :

[tex]S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d][/tex]

Put n = 25 and respected values,

[tex]S_{25}=\dfrac{25}{2}[2(51)+24(-2.4)]\\\\=555[/tex]

Hence, the sum of first 25 terms of the AP is equal to 555.

Find the annual percentage rate of change for the population of Oregon. In 2000, there were 4.8
million people, and in 2010, there were 8.7 million people.

Answers

Answer:

The annual percentage rate of change for the population of Oregon is of 8.125%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total percentage change:

Change multiplied by 100 and divided by the initial value.

Change: 8.7 - 4.8 = 3.9 million

Initial value: 4.8

Percentage change: 3.9*100/4.8 = 81.25%

Annual percentage rate of change

81.25% during 10 years(from 2000 to 2010).

So, per year

81.25%/10 = 8.125%

The annual percentage rate of change for the population of Oregon is of 8.125%.
