Sally bought five books.Their mean price was 3.25. The total cost for four books was 11.75.what was the cost of the fifth book​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the mean formula: mean = sum of elements / number of elements

Let x represent the cost of the fifth book, and solve for x:

mean = sum of elements / number of elements

3.25 = (11.75 + x) / 5

16.25 = 11.75 + x

4.5 = x

So, the cost of the fifth book was $4.50

SCALCET8 3.9.015. A street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole. A man 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 4 ft/s along a straight path. How fast is the tip of his shadow moving when he is 35 ft from the pole

Answers

Answer:

[tex]X=6.67ft/s[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height of pole [tex]H_p=15[/tex]

Height  of man [tex]h_m=6ft[/tex]

Speed of Man [tex]\triangle a =4ft/s[/tex]

Distance from pole [tex]d=35ft[/tex]

Let

Distance from pole to man=a

Distance from man to shadow =b

Therefore

 [tex]\frac{a+b}{15}=\frac{b}{6}[/tex]

 [tex]6a+6b=15y[/tex]

 [tex]2a=3b[/tex]

Generally the equation for change in velocity is mathematically given by

 [tex]2(\triangle a)=3(\triangle b )[/tex]

 [tex]2*4=3(\triangle b)[/tex]

 [tex]\triangle a=\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

Since

The speed of the shadow is given as

 [tex]X=\triangle b+\triangle a[/tex]

 [tex]X=4+8/3[/tex]

 [tex]X=6.67ft/s[/tex]

Consider a relation on the set of all states in the United States given by: two states are related if they have a border in common. Is it an equivalence relation

Answers

Answer:

Yes it is an equivalence relation

Explanation:

An equivalence relation is a binary relation between two values that are symmetric, transitive and reflexive. In other words, when we say a value x is equal(using "=") to a value y, there is an equivalence relation between them.

Example, given set {x, y, z} where ~ means equivalence:

x ~ y if y ~ z means symmetric

since x ~ y and y ~ z, then x ~ z means transitive

x ~ x means reflexive

Equivalence relations share a common attribute or attributes(example, a satisfying condition)

The above condition that two states are related from the set of all US states if they have a border in common satisfies the condition of equivalence listed hence it is an equivalence relation.

9 friends are lining up. Joe, Susan, John, and Meredith must be beside each other. How many ways can they line up?

Answers

Answer:  17,280

This is one single number slightly over 17 thousand.

You may need to erase the comma when typing the answer in.

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

Explanation:

Let's say that another person steps in for Joe, Susan, John, and Meredith. I'll refer to this person as the teacher (perhaps these 9 friends are students on a field trip).

The 9 friends drops to 9-4 = 5 people when those four named people leave the group temporarily. Then it bumps up to 5+1 = 6 people when the teacher steps in. Wherever the teacher is located, the four friends that left will replace the teacher. This guarantees that those four friends stick together.

There are 6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720 ways to arrange those 6 people. The exclamation mark is a factorial symbol.

Within any of those 720 permutations, we have 4! = 4*3*2*1 = 24 ways to arrange those group of named people when they come back to replace the teacher.

So overall the answer is 4!*6! = 24*720 = 17,280

You may need to erase the comma when typing the answer in.

-------------

Side note: There are 9! = 362,880 ways to arrange all nine friends regardless if those four mentioned people stick together or not. We see that they stick together roughly (17,280)/(362,880) = 0.0476 = 4.76% of the time.

When studying radioactive material, a nuclear engineer found that over 365 days,
1,000,000 radioactive atoms decayed to 970,258 radioactive atoms, so 29,742 atoms
decayed during 365 days.
a. Find the mean number of radioactive atoms that decayed in a day.
b. Find the probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.
a. The mean number of radioactive atoms that decay per day is
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Answers

Answer:

a) The mean number of radioactive atoms that decay per day is 81.485.

b) 0% probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.

Step-by-step explanation:

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^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

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

a. Find the mean number of radioactive atoms that decayed in a day.

29,742 atoms decayed during 365 days, which means that:

[tex]\lambda = \frac{29742}{365} = 81.485[/tex]

The mean number of radioactive atoms that decay per day is 81.485.

b. Find the probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.

This is P(X = 50). So

[tex]P(X = 50) = \frac{e^{-81.485}*(81.485)^{50}}{(50)!} = 0[/tex]

0% probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.

what is the cost to drive from san francisco to los angeles (405 mi) if the cost of gasoline is $2.34/gal and the automobile gets 8.5 mi/L

Answers

Answer:

The cost is $ 29.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = 405 miles

Cost = $ 2.34 /gal

Average = 8.5 miles per litre

So, the amount of gasoline to travel for 405miles

= 405/8.5 = 47.65 liter

1 gal = 3.785 liters

So,

47.65 liter = 47.65 / 3.785 = 12.6 gal

So, the cots is

= $ 2.34 x 12.6 = $29.5

The club will use the majority criterion method to determine the final winner. However, while finalizing the votes, a member of the club discovers that Mason did not meet the original criteria to be considered for the vacation package, because he is a county deputy, not a city police person, so Mason is eliminated from the votes. Who actually will win the tickets? Is the irrelevant alternative criterion supported in this case?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The irrelevant alternative criterion states that if two candidates A and B contest for an election and candidate B is preferred to candidate A then any other candidate X should not cause candidate A to win the election.

In this case if Mason was candidate A, then candidate B should still win by the majority criterion method and the irrelevant alternative criterion would still be supported. However if he is candidate B then the irrelevant alternative criterion is not supported.

Marty's barber shop has one barber. Customers arrive at a rate of 2.2 per hour and haircuts are given at a rate of 5 customers per hour. Assume a Poisson arrival rate and an Exponential service time distribution.

Required:
a. What is the probability that one customer is receiving a haircut and one customer is waiting?
b. What is the probability that one customer is receiving a haircut and two customers are waiting?
c. What is the probability that more than two customers are waiting?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Arrival rate = ∧ = 2.2 customers per hour  

Service rate = u = 5 customers per hour  

1. Probability that one customer is receiving a haircut and one customer is waiting  

P(2 customers)=(∧/u)^2 * (1-∧/u)=(2.2/5)^2 * (1-2.2/5)=0.1936*0.56= 0.108416

 

2. Probability that one customer is receiving a haircut and two customers are waiting  

P(3 customers)= (∧/u)^3 * (1-∧/u)=(2.2/5)^3 * (1-2.2/5)= 0.085184  

* 0.56= 0.04770304

 

3. Probability that more than two customers are waiting  

P(more than 3 customers)=1- P(less than 3 customers) =  

1- [P(0)+P(1)+P(2)+P(3)]=  

= 1- [(1-2.2/5) +2.2/5*(1- 2.2/5) + 0.108416+0.04770304]=1-0.9625=0.0375
