We are throwing darts on a disk-shaped board of radius 5. We assume that the proposition of the dart is a uniformly chosen point in the disk. The board has a disk-shaped bullseye with radius 1. Suppose that we throw a dart 2000 times at the board. Estimate the probability that we hit the bullseye at least 100 times.

Answers

Answer:

the probability that we hit the bullseye at least 100 times is 0.0113

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Binomial distribution

We find the probability of hitting the dart on the disk

⇒ Area of small disk / Area of bigger disk

⇒ πR₁² / πR₂²

given that; disk-shaped board of radius R² = 5, disk-shaped bullseye with radius R₁ = 1

so we substitute

⇒ π(1)² / π(5)² = π/π25 = 1/25 = 0.04

Since we have to hit the disk 2000 times, we represent the number of times the smaller disk ( BULLSEYE ) will be hit by X.

so

X ~ Bin( 2000, 0.04 )

n = 2000

p = 0.04

np = 2000 × 0.04 = 80

Using central limit theorem;

X ~ N( np, np( 1 - p ) )

we substitute

X ~ N( 80, 80( 1 - 0.04 ) )

X ~ N( 80, 80( 0.96 ) )

X ~ N( 80, 76.8 )

So, the probability that we hit the bullseye at least 100 times, P( X ≥ 100 ) will be;

we covert to standard normal variable

⇒ P( X ≥  [tex]\frac{100-80}{\sqrt{76.8} }[/tex] )

⇒ P( X ≥ 2.28217 )

From standard normal distribution table

P( X ≥ 2.28217 ) = 0.0113

Therefore, the probability that we hit the bullseye at least 100 times is 0.0113

find all missing angles in the following diagram

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the item angle on the left line is also 130 degrees, as these 2 equally long lines create a triangle with 2 equal sides.

the two internal angles are the complement from 130 to 180 degrees, as every straight line stands for 180 degrees.

so, 180-130 = 50 degrees.

=> both internal angles are 50 degrees.

that makes the angle at the bottom tip of the triangle the complement of both 50 degree angle to 180, because the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

so, 180 - 50 - 50 = 80 degrees.

and the outside angles of that triangle tip angle are each half of the complement of these 80 degrees to 180 (resistive to the bottom horizontal line).

180 - 80 = 100

100/2 = 50

so, both outside bottom angles are again 50 degrees.

Plz help. I’m finding surface area. I need the answer in units. Thank you.

Answers

Answer:

C. 17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of rectangular prism is given as:

A = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

A = 930 square units

l = 12 units

h = 9 units

w = ? (We're to find the width)

Plug in the value into the formula

930 = 2*12*w + 2*12*9 + 2*w*9

930 = 24w + 216 + 18w

Add like terms

930 - 216 = 42w

714 = 42w

Divide both sides by 42

714/42 = 42w/42

17 = w

w = 17 units

Consider this function. f(x)-3x+3. Which graph represents the inverse of function f?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  graph Y

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse function can be found by solving ...

  x = f(y)

  x = -3y +3

  x -3 = -3y . . . . . subtract 3; next, divide by -3

  y = -1/3x +1 . . . . . matches graph Y

_____

Additional comment

Writing the original equation in standard form can help you see its intercepts.

  3x +y = 3

  3x = 3   ⇒   x = 1 . . . . x-intercept (at y=0)

  y = 3   . . . . y-intercept (at x=0)

The inverse function has the x- and y-intercepts swapped, so you're looking for a line through (0, 1) and (3, 0). The lower left graph (Y) is that graph.

angle P and angle Q are complementary. The measure of angle Q is 33.5°. What is the measure of angle P?​

Answers

Answer:

56.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Because complementary angles are when their sum is 90, you get the equation:

P + Q = 90

Since Q is 33.5,

P + 33.5 = 90

Subtracting 33.5 from both sides,

P = 56.5

If the smallest angle of a triangle is 20° and it is included between sides of 4 and 7, then (to the nearest tenth) the smallest side of the triangle is _____.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]3.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The smallest side of a triangle is formed by the smallest angle in the triangle.

To find the side opposite (formed by) the 20 degree angle, we can use the Law of Cosines. The Law of Cosines states that for any triangle, [tex]c^2=a^2+b^2-ab\cos \gamma[/tex], where [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], and [tex]c[/tex] are the three sides of the triangle and [tex]\gamma[/tex] is the angle opposite to [tex]c[/tex].

Let [tex]c[/tex] be the side opposite to the 20 degree angle.

Assign variables:

[tex]a\implies 4[/tex] [tex]b\implies 7[/tex] [tex]\gamma \implies 20^{\circ}[/tex]

Substituting these variables, we get:

[tex]c^2=4^2+7^2-2(4)(7)\cos 20^{\circ},\\c^2=16+49-56\cos 20^{\circ},\\c^2=12.377213236,\\c=\sqrt{12.377213236}=3.51812638147\approx \boxed{3.5}[/tex]

Therefore, the shortest side of this triangle is 3.5.

On weekend nights, a large urban hospital has an average of 4.8 emergency arrivals per hour. Let X be the number of arrivals per hour on a weekend night at this hospital. Assume that successive arrivals are random and independent. What is the probability P(X < 3)?

Answers

Answer:

P(X < 3) = 0.14254

Step-by-step explanation:

We have only the mean, which means that the Poisson distribution is used to solve this question.

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

On weekend nights, a large urban hospital has an average of 4.8 emergency arrivals per hour.

This means that [tex]\mu = 4.8[/tex]

What is the probability P(X < 3)?

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-4.8}*4.8^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.00823[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-4.8}*4.8^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.03950[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-4.8}*4.8^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.09481[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.00823 + 0.03950 + 0.09481 = 0.14254[/tex]

P(X < 3) = 0.14254

for the function f(x)=5 evaluate and simplify the expression: f (a+h)-f(a)/h

Answers

Answer:

0 is the answer assuming the whole thing is a fraction where the numerator is f(a+h)-f(a) and the denominator is h.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the expression for f is really a constant, then the difference quotient will lead to an answer of 0.

If the extra for f is linear (including constant expressions), the difference quotient will be the slope of the expression.

However, let's go about it long way for fun.

If f(x)=5, then f(a)=5.

If f(x)=5, then f(a+h)=5.

If f(a)=5 and f(a+h)=5, then f(a+h)-f(a)=0.

If f(a+h)-f(a)=0, then [f(a+h)-f(a)]/h=0/h=0.
