We have 9 pens, of which 5 are green ink, 3 are red ink, and 1 is black. If we put the pens in a line, how many arrangements are possible
Answer:
504 arrangements are possible
Step-by-step explanation:
Arrangements of n elements:
The number of arrangements of n elements is given by:
[tex]A_{n} = n![/tex]
Arrangements of n elements, divided into groups:
The number of arrangements of n elements, divided into groups of [tex]n_1, n_2,...,n_n[/tex] elements is given by:
[tex]A_{n}^{n_1,n_2,...,n_n} = \frac{n!}{n_1!n_2!...n_n!}[/tex]
In this case:
9 pens, into groups of 5, 3 and 1. So
[tex]A_{9}^{5,3,1} = \frac{9!}{5!3!1!} = 504[/tex]
504 arrangements are possible
1. Willow Brook National Bank operates a drive-up teller window that allows customers to complete bank transactions without getting out of their cars. On weekday mornings, arrivals to the drive-up teller window occur at random, with an arrival rate of 24 customers per hour or 0.4 customers per minute.
a. What is the mean or expected number of customers that will arrive in a five-minute period?
b. Assume that the Poisson probability distribution can be used to describe the arrival process. Use the arrival rate in part (a) and compute the probabilities that exactly 0, 1, 2, and 3 customers will arrive during a five-minute period.
c. Delays are expected if more than three customers arrive during any five-minute period. What is the probability that delays will occur?
2. In the Willow Brook National Bank waiting line system (see Problem 1), assume that the service times for the drive-up teller follow an exponential probability distribution with a service rate of 36 customers per hour, or 0.6 customers per minute. Use the exponential probability distribution to answer the following questions:
a. What is the probability that the service time is one minute or less?
b. What is the probability that the service time is two minutes or less?
c. What is the probability that the service time is more than two minutes?
Answer:
1.
a. 2
b. 0.1353 probability that exactly 0 customers will arrive during a five-minute period, 0.2707 that exactly 1 customer will arrive, 0.2707 that exactly 2 customers will arrive and 0.1805 that exactly 3 customers will arrive.
c. 0.1428 = 14.28% probability that delays will occur.
2.
a. 0.4512 = 45.12% probability that the service time is one minute or less.
b. 0.6988 = 69.88% probability that the service time is two minutes or less.
c. 0.3012 = 30.12% probability that the service time is more than two minutes.
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^{-\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.
Exponential distribution:
The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:
[tex]f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}[/tex]
In which [tex]\mu = \frac{1}{m}[/tex] is the decay parameter.
The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:
[tex]P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx[/tex]
Which has the following solution:
[tex]P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}[/tex]
The probability of finding a value higher than x is:
[tex]P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}[/tex]
Question 1:
a. What is the mean or expected number of customers that will arrive in a five-minute period?
0.4 customers per minute, so for 5 minutes:
[tex]\mu = 0.4*5 = 2[/tex]
So 2 is the answer.
Question b:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.1353[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.2707[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2707[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.1805[/tex]
0.1353 probability that exactly 0 customers will arrive during a five-minute period, 0.2707 that exactly 1 customer will arrive, 0.2707 that exactly 2 customers will arrive and 0.1805 that exactly 3 customers will arrive.
Question c:
This is:
[tex]P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 3)[/tex]
In which:
[tex]P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]
The values we have in item b, so:
[tex]P(X \leq 3) = 0.1353 + 0.2707 + 0.2707 + 0.1805 = 0.8572[/tex]
[tex]P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 3) = 1 - 0.8572 = 0.1428[/tex]
0.1428 = 14.28% probability that delays will occur.
Question 2:
[tex]\mu = 0.6[/tex]
a. What is the probability that the service time is one minute or less?
[tex]P(X \leq 1) = 1 - e^{-0.6} = 0.4512[/tex]
0.4512 = 45.12% probability that the service time is one minute or less.
b. What is the probability that the service time is two minutes or less?
[tex]P(X \leq 2) = 1 - e^{-0.6(2)} = 1 - e^{-1.2} = 0.6988[/tex]
0.6988 = 69.88% probability that the service time is two minutes or less.
c. What is the probability that the service time is more than two minutes?
[tex]P(X > 2) = e^{-1.2} = 0.3012[/tex]
0.3012 = 30.12% probability that the service time is more than two minutes.

The shaded region R in diagram below is enclosed by y-axis, y = x^2 - 1 and y = 3.
Determine the volume of the solid generated when the shaded region R is revolved
about x = -1 by using Disk method.
Cross sections of the volume are washers or annuli with outer radii x(y) + 1, where
y = x(y) ² - 1 ==> x(y) = √(y + 1)
and inner radii 1. The distance between the outermost edge of each shell to the axis of revolution is then 1 + √(y + 1), and the distance between the innermost edge of R on the y-axis to the axis of revolution is 1.
For each value of y in the interval [-1, 3], the corresponding cross section has an area of
π (1 + √(y + 1))² - π (1)² = π (2√(y + 1) + y + 1)
Then the volume of the solid is the integral of this area over [-1, 3]:
[tex]\displaystyle\int_{-1}^3\pi y\,\mathrm dy = \frac{\pi y^2}2\bigg|_{-1}^3 = \boxed{4\pi}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\int_{-1}^3 \pi\left(2\sqrt{y+1}+y+1\right)\,\mathrm dy = \pi\left(\frac43(y+1)^{3/2}+\frac{y^2}2+y\right)\bigg|_{-1}^3 = \boxed{\frac{56\pi}3}[/tex]

A researcher wishes to conduct a study of the color preferences of new car buyers. Suppose that 50% of this population prefers the color green. If 14 buyers are randomly selected, what is the probability that exactly 12 buyers would prefer green
Answer:
The probability that exactly 12 buyers would prefer green
=0.00555
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
p=50%=50/100=0.50
n=14
We have to find the probability that exactly 12 buyers would prefer green.
q=1-p
q=1-0.50=0.50
Using binomial distribution formula
[tex]P(X=x)=nC_r p^r q^{n-r}[/tex]
[tex]P(x=12)=14C_{12}(0.50)^{12}(0.50)^{14-12}[/tex]
[tex]P(x=12)=14C_{12}(0.50)^{12}(0.50)^2[/tex]
[tex]P(x=12)=14C_{12}(0.50)^{14}[/tex]
[tex]P(x=12)=\frac{14!}{12!2!}(0.50)^{14}[/tex]
[tex]P(x=12)=\frac{14\times 13\times 12!}{12!2\times 1}(0.50)^{14}[/tex]
[tex]P(x=12)=91\cdot (0.50)^{14}[/tex]
[tex]P(x=12)=0.00555[/tex]
Hence, the probability that exactly 12 buyers would prefer green
=0.00555

In verse of B.g(x)=[tex]\frac{x+5}{4}[/tex] is:
4x-5
Answer:
Solution given:
B.g(x)=[tex]\frac{x+5}{4}[/tex]
let
g(x)=y
y=[tex]\frac{x+5}{4}[/tex]
Interchanging role of x and y
we get:
x=[tex]\frac{y+5}{4}[/tex]
doing crisscrossed multiplication
4x=y+5
y=4x-5
So
g-¹(x)=4x-5
Given that,
→ g(x) = x+5/4
Then g(x)=y,
→ y = x+5/4
Now we can interchange role of x and y,
→ x = y+5/4
Then use the cross multiplication,
→ 4x = y+5
→ y = 4x-5
Hence, g-¹(x) = 4x-5 is the solution.

what is the inverse of the function shown
Step-by-step explanation:
the down function clearly is
y = x - 5, -2 <= x <= 8
the reasons :
1. it is linear. so, we have only a form of ax+b
2. x=0 => y=-5
x=5 => y=0
so, with these 2 points alone we can see
y = ax + b
-5 = a×0 +b = b
0 = a×5 - 5
5 = a×5
1 = a
the inverse function is based on
y = x - 5
=>
x = y + 5
now renaming the variables so that y is the result and x the input variable delivers
y = x + 5
and because the original function only delivered y- values between -7 and +3, this is also the defined domain for the inverse function.
so,
y = x + 5, -7 <= x <= +3
so, we have the points
x=-7 => y=-2
x=+3 => y=8
you need to draw the line between these 2 points with filled dots at the end points (as they are included in the function).
a student takes two subjects A and B. Know that the probability of passing subjects A and B is 0.8 and 0.7 respectively. If you have passed subject A, the probability of passing subject B is 0.8. Find the probability that the student passes both subjects? Find the probability that the student passes at least one of the two subjects
Answer:
0.64 = 64% probability that the student passes both subjects.
0.86 = 86% probability that the student passes at least one of the two subjects
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: Passing subject A
Event B: Passing subject B
The probability of passing subject A is 0.8.
This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.8[/tex]
If you have passed subject A, the probability of passing subject B is 0.8.
This means that [tex]P(B|A) = 0.8[/tex]
Find the probability that the student passes both subjects?
This is [tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex]. So
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(B|A)P(A) = 0.8*0.8 = 0.64[/tex]
0.64 = 64% probability that the student passes both subjects.
Find the probability that the student passes at least one of the two subjects
This is:
[tex]p = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)[/tex]
Considering [tex]P(B) = 0.7[/tex], we have that:
[tex]p = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) = 0.8 + 0.7 - 0.64 = 0.86[/tex]
0.86 = 86% probability that the student passes at least one of the two subjects
if i need 90 square feet of tile and each piece of tile covers 0.34 square feet, how much do i need in pieces
Answer:
265
Step-by-step explanation:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
265
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t represent the number of tiles needed. Then the area covered by those t tiles will be ...
area = t·0.34 ft²
We want that area to be 90 ft², so we can solve this equation for t:
90 ft² = t·(0.34 ft²)
90 ft²/(0.34 ft²) = t ≈ 264.71
About 265 tiles are needed to cover 90 ft².

You plan to conduct a survey to find what proportion of the workforce has two or more jobs. You decide on the 95% confidence level and a margin of error of 2%. A pilot survey reveals that 5 of the 50 sampled hold two or more jobs.
How many in the workforce should be interviewed to meet your requirements? (Round up your answer to the next whole number.)
Answer:
865 in the workforce should be interviewed to meet your requirements
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
The margin of error is given by:
[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
A pilot survey reveals that 5 of the 50 sampled hold two or more jobs.
This means that [tex]\pi = \frac{5}{50} = 0.1[/tex]
95% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].
How many in the workforce should be interviewed to meet your requirements?
Margin of error of 2%, so n for which M = 0.02.
[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.02 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1*0.9}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.02\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.1*0.9}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.1*0.9}}{0.02}[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.1*0.9}}{0.02})^2[/tex]
[tex]n = 864.4[/tex]
Rounding up:
865 in the workforce should be interviewed to meet your requirements

Write a polynomial f(x) that satisfies the given conditions. Polynomial of lowest degree with zeros of -2 (multiplicity 3), 3 (multiplicity 1), and with f(0) = 120.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Polynomial f(x) has the following conditions: zeros of -2 (multiplicity 3), 3 (multiplicity 1), and with f(0) = 120.
The first part zeros of -2 means (x+2) and multiplicity 3 means (x+2)^3.
The second part zeros of 3 means (x-3) and multiplicity 1 means (x-3).
The third part f(0) = 120 means substituting x=0 into (x+2)^3*(x-3)*k =120
(0+2)^3*(0-3)*k = 120
-24k = 120
k = -5
Combining all three conditions, f(x)
= -5(x+2)^3*(x-3)
= -5(x^3 + 3*2*x^2 + 3*2*2*x + 2^3)(x-3)
= -5(x^4 + 6x^3 + 12x^2 + 8x - 3x^3 - 18x^2 - 36x - 24)
= -5(x^4 + 3x^3 - 6x^2 - 28x -24)
= -5x^4 - 15x^3 + 30x^2 + 140x + 120

Which figure can be formed from the net?
pls answer fast for brainiest !
Answer:
It should be the top right one
(with 6ft as the height)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
It must be the lower to the left choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can see, the net we have is composed of only triangles.
So we should be choosing a figure with a triangular base.
Our answers are narrowed down into the top right and lower left choices because both figures have triangular bases.
The other person down there chose the top right choice and was incorrect, so the answer should be the lower to the left figure.
Also, its the lower left figure because look at the triangular base, it is an isosceles meaning that two sides have the same length.
If the net says that the long side measures 9 ft, then the other two sides should be the same length and shorter than 9 ft. So the answer is the lower left figure.

⇒ AB = [tex]\sqrt{1872}[/tex]
⇒ AB = [tex]12\sqrt{13}[/tex] ft
From the values of the sides, it can be noted that the side AB is the hypotenuse of the triangle since that is the longest side with a value of [tex]12\sqrt{13}[/tex] ft (43.27ft).
ii. Calculate the sine of ∠A (i.e sin A)
The sine of an angle (Ф) in a triangle is given by the ratio of the opposite side to that angle to the hypotenuse side of the triangle. i.e
sin Ф = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] -------------(i)
In this case,
Ф = A
opposite = 24ft (This is the opposite side to angle A)
hypotenuse = [tex]12\sqrt{13}[/tex] ft (This is the longest side of the triangle)
Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;
sin A = [tex]\frac{24}{12\sqrt{13} }[/tex]
sin A = [tex]\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}[/tex]
Rationalize the result by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by [tex]\sqrt{13}[/tex]
sin A = [tex]\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}} * \frac{\sqrt{13} }{\sqrt{13} }[/tex]
sin A = [tex]\frac{2\sqrt{13} }{13}[/tex]
iii. Calculate the cosine of ∠A (i.e cos A)
The cosine of an angle (Ф) in a triangle is given by the ratio of the adjacent side to that angle to the hypotenuse side of the triangle. i.e
cos Ф = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] -------------(ii)
In this case,
Ф = A
adjacent = 36ft (This is the adjecent side to angle A)
hypotenuse = [tex]12\sqrt{13}[/tex] ft (This is the longest side of the triangle)
Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;
cos A = [tex]\frac{36}{12\sqrt{13} }[/tex]
cos A = [tex]\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}[/tex]
Rationalize the result by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by [tex]\sqrt{13}[/tex]
cos A = [tex]\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}} * \frac{\sqrt{13} }{\sqrt{13} }[/tex]
cos A = [tex]\frac{3\sqrt{13} }{13}[/tex]
iii. Calculate the tangent of ∠A (i.e tan A)
The cosine of an angle (Ф) in a triangle is given by the ratio of the opposite side to that angle to the adjacent side of the triangle. i.e
tan Ф = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] -------------(iii)
In this case,
Ф = A
opposite = 24 ft (This is the opposite side to angle A)
adjacent = 36 ft (This is the adjacent side to angle A)
Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;
tan A = [tex]\frac{24}{36}[/tex]
tan A = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
