A machine has two components both of which have a lifespan, in months, that is exponentially distributed with mean 8. The lifespan of the two components are independent. Find the probability both components are functioning in 12 months.
Answer:
0.0498
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question,
x~exponential
we have
mean = 1/λ = 8
from here we cross multiply, when we do
such that
λ = 1/8
probability of x functioning in 8 months
= e^-λx
= e^-1/8x12
= e^-1.5
= 0.2231
i got this value through the use of a scientific calculator
then the probability that these two are greater than 12
= 0.2231²
= 0.04977
= approximately 0.0498
therefore the probability that both components are functioning in 12 months is 0.0498
Last softball season, Pamela had 46 hits, a combination of singles (1 base), doubles (2 bases), and triples (3 bases). These 46 hits totaled 66 bases, and she had 4 times as many singles as doubles. How many doubles did she have?
Answer:
She had 8 doubles.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is solved by a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
x is the number of singles.
y is the number of doubles
z is the number of triples.
46 hits
This means that [tex]x + y + z = 46[/tex]
46 hits totaled 66 bases
This means that:
[tex]x + 2y + 3z = 66[/tex]
4 times as many singles as doubles
This means that [tex]x = 4y[/tex]
So
[tex]x + 2y + 3z = 66[/tex]
[tex]4y + 2y + 3z = 66[/tex]
[tex]6y + 3z = 66[/tex]
And
[tex]x + y + z = 46[/tex]
[tex]4y + y + z = 46[/tex]
[tex]5y + z = 46 \rightarrow z = 46 - 5y[/tex]
Then
[tex]6y + 3z = 66[/tex]
[tex]6y + 3(46 - 5y) = 66[/tex]
[tex]6y + 138 - 15y = 66[/tex]
[tex]9y = 72[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{72}{9}[/tex]
[tex]y = 8[/tex]
She had 8 doubles.
Describe how the graph of y = |x - 2| - 5 is a transformation of the graph of y = |x|. Use terms such as "shifted", "reflected", "stretched", or "compressed".
Answer:
The original graph was shifted 2 units to the left and 5 units down.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = |x|
From this, we go to: y = |x - 2|.
When we want to shift a function f(x) a units to the left, we find f(x - a). So first, the graph was shifted 2 units to the left.
y = |x - 2|.
From this, we go to: y = |x - 2| - 5.
Shifting a function f(x) down b units is the same as finding f(x) - b, so the second transformation was shifting the graph 5 units down.
two angles are complementary. The measure of one angle is 15° more than one-half of the measure of the other. Find the measure of each angle.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to know two definitions. Well, you only have to know one for this problem, but you should probably learn the 2nd just to be thorough.
Definition 1: Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90 degrees.
Definition 2: Supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is 180 degrees.
For this problem, we'll work with the definition that says two complementary angles have a sum of 90 degrees.
Soooo, here are the facts from your problem: if one angle is 15 degree more than 2 times the other.find the measure of two angles.
Let's let the larger angle equal this: 15 + 2(x) (<--See how it is 15 degrees MORE than 2 times the other?)
Let's let the smaller angle equal: x
SO now our total equation is:
15 + 2(x) + x = 90
3x + 15 = 90 (combined like terms)
3x = 75 (subtracted 15 from both sides)
x = 25 (divided both sides by 3)
Now we know that one angle is 25. The other angle must add to 25 to make 90 degrees, so 90 - 25 = 65.
Therefore, your two angles are 25 and 65 degrees.
Does this check out? Let's see...
First: 25 + 65 = 90 Therefore, this checks out.
Second: The angle that is 65 degrees must be 15 degrees more than twice the other. So, let's take twice the other...... 25 * 2 = 50. And, let's add 15....50 + 15 = 65. Therefore YES, the 2nd angle is 15 more than 2 times the angle that was 25 degrees.
I hope this is helpful. :-)

Determine whether the value is a discrete random variable, continuous random variable, or not a random variable. a. The number of people with blood type A in a random sample of 26 people b. The exact time it takes to evaluate 27+72 c. The gender of college students d. The number of hits to a website in a day e. The number of bald eagles in a country f. The distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit a. Is the number of people with blood type A in a random sample of 26 people a discrete random variable, a continuous random variable, or not a random variable?
Answer:
a) it is a discrete random variable
b) It is a continuous random variable
c) It is not a random variable
d) It is a discrete random variable
e) It is a discrete random variable
f) It is a continuous random variable
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation,
Continuous Random Variable
A continuous variable is one that can take on an uncountable set of values.
It may take any values within an interval.
It can take infinite values within an interval.
They are obtained by measuring rather than counting.
Discrete Random Variable
These can only take a discrete value and cannot be expressed in the form of decimals.
They are obtained by counting rather than measuring.
a). it is a discrete random variable ⇒ as a number of people is a discrete count, which takes values such as 0 or 1 or 2.
b). The exact time it takes to evaluate 27+72 ⇒ Since, Time is measured and thus it is a continuous random variable.
c). The gender of college students ⇒ Gender is categorical data. It is neither continuous nor discrete.
d). The number of hits to a website in a day ⇒ Since the number of people cannot be expressed as decimals, thus it is a discrete random variable
e). The number of bald eagles in a country ⇒ Since the number of people cannot be expressed as decimals, thus it is a discrete random variable
f). The distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit ⇒ Distance is measured and thus it is a continuous random variable.

In a randomly selected sample of 100 students at a University, 81 of them had access to a computer at home. Give the value of the standard error for the point estimate.
Answer:
The value of the standard error for the point estimate is of 0.0392.
Step-by-step explanation:
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
In a randomly selected sample of 100 students at a University, 81 of them had access to a computer at home.
This means that [tex]n = 100, p = \frac{81}{100} = 0.81[/tex]
Give the value of the standard error for the point estimate.
This is s. So
[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{0.81*0.19}{100}} = 0.0392[/tex]
The value of the standard error for the point estimate is of 0.0392.

Please help. Solve the triangle. Round ans to the nearest tenth.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
C = 21°a = 13.3c = 5.4Step-by-step explanation:
The third angle can be found from the sum of angles in a triangle.
A + B + C = 180°
C = 180° -62° -97°
C = 21°
__
The remaining side lengths can be found using the Law of Sines.
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B)
a = sin(62°)(15/sin(97°)) ≈ 13.34
Similarly, ...
c/sin(C) = b/sin(B)
c = sin(21°)(15/sin(97°)) ≈ 5.42
The remaining side lengths are approximately ...
a ≈ 13.3
c ≈ 5.4
The strength of one's immune system can be evaluated in several ways. One of the most popular methods involves measuring the concentration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the blood. In women, the mean blood ATP level is 390 ng/mL, and the standard deviation is 115 ng/mL. It has been hypothesized that women with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) have decreased immune function. A recent study found that a random sample of 30 women with MDD had an average blood ATP level of 355 ng/mL. Using a one-sample z test, what is the p-value of this result? (HINT: This involves a one-tailed hypothesis test).
Answer:
Hence the value of p is 0.04746.
Step-by-step explanation:
The test statistic is
[tex]Z=(\bar x-\mu)/(s/vn)\\\\=(355-390)/(115/ \sqrt(30))\\\\=-1.667[/tex]
The p-value= P(Z<-1.67) =0.04746. (from standard distribution table)
Therefore p-value =0.04746.
The equations of two lines are given. Determine if the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
8x - 7y = 6
8x - y = -8
Answer:
8x-7y=6
or, -7y=-8x+6
or, y=8x/7-6/7
so the slope is 8/7
8x-y=-8
or, -y=-8x-8
or, y=8x+8
So the slope is 8
Both has different slope and they don't satisfy the property of being perpendicular to each others, so they're neither parallel nor perpendicular.

Each month your cell phone company charges you $ 40 for your plan plus 2 cents for each text you send. You have $ 120 budgeted for cell phone expenses for the month. Construct an inequality to make a determination about the number of texts you can send each month. Note that you cannot send a fraction of a text. You must send __________ _______________ texts this month in order to stay within your budget.
Answer:
50 text messages would have to be sent or received in order for the plans to cost the same each month.
Step-by-step explanation:
x = number of text messages sent
0.2x+40=50
0.2x = 10
5(0.2x) = 5(10)
x = 50
Therefore, 50 text messages would have to be sent or received in order for the plans to cost the same each month.

1) Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with slope of 6 and y-intercept of -3. Then graph the line. 2) Write an equation in point-slope form of the line with slope -3/5 that contains(-10 ,8). Then graph the line.
Answer:
An equation in the slope-intercept form is:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.
a)
Here we have a slope of 6 and a y-intercept of -3
Then the equation is:
y = 6*x - 3
Now we want to graph this.
To graph it, we first need to find two points (x, y) that belong to this equation, then we can graph the points, and connect them with a line.
To find the points, we evaluate in two different values of x.
x = 0
y = 6*0 - 3 = -3
Then we have the point (0, -3)
x = 1
y = 6*1 - 3 = 3
Then we have the point (1, 3)
The graph of this line can be seen in the image below (the red one)
b) Similar to before, here the slope is -3/5, then the equation is something like:
y = (-3/5)*x + b
Now we also know that the line passes through the point (-10, 8)
This means that when x = -10, we must have y = 8
Replacing these two in the equation we get:
8 = (-3/5)*-10 + b
8 = 6 + b
8 - 6 = 2 = b
Then this equation is:
y = (-3/5)*X + 2
The graph can be found in the same way as before, the graph of this function can also be seen in the image below (the green one)
Rewrite the expression by factoring out (u-8).3u^2(u-8)-2(u-8)
Answer:
The rewritten expression is [tex](u - 8)(3u^2 - 2)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following expression:
[tex]3u^2(u - 8) - 2(u - 8)[/tex]
Factoring out (u-8)
Place (u-8) to the front, and then divide each term by (u-8). So
[tex]3u^2(u - 8) - 2(u - 8) = (u - 8)\left[\frac{3u^2(u - 8)}{u - 8} - \frac{2(u-8)}{u - 8}\right] = (u - 8)(3u^2 - 2)[/tex]
The rewritten expression is [tex](u - 8)(3u^2 - 2)[/tex]
