Answer: 3 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that a truck will be going over the speed limit on I-77 South between Dobson and Elkin is about 75%. Suppose a random sample of five trucks are observed on this stretch of I-77. a. Find the mean of this probability distribution. Show the formula and your work. b. Interpret the mean in the context of the problem. c. Find the standard deviation of this probability distribution. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. d. Find the probability that exactly 3 of the observed trucks are speeding. e. Find the probability that less than 3 of the observed trucks are speeding.
Answer:
Explained below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X = number of trucks that will be going over the speed limit on I-77 South between Dobson and Elkin.
The probability of X is, p = 0.75.
A random sample of n = 5 trucks are observed on this stretch of I-77.
The random variable X follows a binomial distribution with parameters n = 5 and p = 0.75.
(a)
Compute the mean as follows:
[tex]\mu=n\times p=5\times 0.75=3.75[/tex]
The mean of this probability distribution is 3.75.
(b)
The mean of 3.75 implies that on average 3.75 trucks that will be going over the speed limit on I-77 South between Dobson and Elkin.
(c)
Compute the standard deviation as follows:
[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{5\times 0.75\times (1-0.75)}=0.968[/tex]
Thus, the standard deviation of this probability distribution is 0.97.
(d)
Compute the probability that exactly 3 of the observed trucks are speeding as follows:
[tex]P(X=3)={5\choose 3}(0.75)^{3}(1-0.75)^{5-3}\\\\=10\times 0.421875\times 0.0625\\\\=0.263671875\\\\\approx 0.2637[/tex]
Thus, the probability that exactly 3 of the observed trucks are speeding is 0.2637.
(e)
Compute the probability that less than 3 of the observed trucks are speeding as follows:
[tex]P(X<3)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)\\\\=\sum\limits^{2}_{x=0}{{5\choose x}(0.75)^{x}(1-0.75)^{5-x}}\\\\=0.0009765625+0.0146484375+0.087890625\\\\=0.103515625\\\\\approx 0.1035[/tex]
Thus, the probability that less than 3 of the observed trucks are speeding is 0.1035.

An athlete us jumping. However, everytime she jumps she gets a bit more tired, and every jump goes 1/2 as far as her prior jump. Now, for her very first jump, she goes 1/2 of a foot. On her second jump, she goes 1/4 of a foot, and so on and so forth. How many jumps does it take to get to travel 1 foot
Answer:
She can never travel a distance of 1 foot for the given condition.
Step-by-step explanation:
In every jump, she goes 1/2 as far as her prior jump.
In the 1st jump, she covered a distance, d_1= \frac 1 2 foot.
The distance covered in the 2nd jump
[tex]d_2= \frac 12 \times d_1 = = \frac 12 \times \frac 12= \frac 1 4[/tex] (given)
So, the distanve covered in the 3rd jump
[tex]=\frac 12 \times d_2= \left(\frac 1 2\right )^2\times \frac 1 2= \left(\frac 1 2\right)^{3-1}\times \frac 1 2.[/tex]
Similarly, the distance covered in the [tex]r^{th}[/tex] jump
[tex]=\left(\frac 12 \right)^{r-1}\times \frac 1 2.[/tex]
Assuming she requires [tex]n[/tex] jumps to travel 1 foot of distance.
So, the sum of all the distances covered in n jumps = 1 foot
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac 1 2 + \frac 1 4 + \cdots + \left(\frac 12 \right)^{r-1}\times \frac 1 2+\cdots+ \left(\frac 12 \right)^{n-1}\times \frac 1 2=1[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac 1 2 + \left(\frac 12 \right)^2 + \cdots + \left(\frac 12 \right)^{r}+\cdots+ \left(\frac 12 \right)^{n}=1[/tex]
This a geometric progression, G.P., of [tex]n[/tex] terms having common ration, r= 1/2 and the first term [tex]a_1= 1/2[/tex].
As sum of all the n terms of G.P [tex]=\frac {a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}[/tex],
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac {1/2((1/2)^n-1)}{1/2-1}=1[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow - \left(\left(\frac 1 2\right)^n-1\right)=1[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \left(\frac 1 2\right)^n-1=-1[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \left(\frac 1 2\right)^n=-1+1=0[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac {1}{2^n}=0[/tex]
This is only possible, mathematically, when [tex]n\rightarrow \infty[/tex], But in real life situation reaching infinity is not possible.
Hence, she can never travel a distance of 1 foot for the given condition.
Corliss earns an hourly wage, as well as tips, each day he works. His daily earned income, m, after h hours can be represented by the inequality m>11h+35.
He makes at most $11 per hour plus $35 in tips.
He makes more than $11 per hour plus $35 in tips.
He makes at least $11 per hour plus $35 in tips.
He makes less than $11 per hour plus $35 in tips.
Answer:
He makes more than $11 per hour plus $35 in tips
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you should always look at the sign and identify whether it's greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to. In this inequality, the sign being shown is greater than: represented by m>11h+3
Here are inequality key words to help better understand the signs:
> : Greater Than, More Than
≥ : More Than or Equal To, At Least, No Less Than, A Minimum of
< : Less Than, Fewer Than
≤ : Less Than or Equal To, At Most, No More Than, A Maximum of

what would be the graph for y=2x+5
See attachment for math work and answer.
Answer:
See attached picture.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that in slope-intercept form [tex]y=mx+b[/tex], [tex]m[/tex] represents the slope of the line and [tex]b[/tex] represents the y-intercept. To start we would put a point on (0,5) to represent the y-intercept. Next, we know our slope is 2 so we would go up two and right one to get to our next point (2,6). We can then make a straight line between these to get our graph

Carrie needs to determine the number of tiles that will fit in each row along the back of the shower. If the back of the shower measures 6 feet long and each tile is Two-thirds of a foot long, which equation shows how to determine the number of tiles that will fit in each row?
Answer: A6/ 2/3= 9
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that one tile is 2/3 ft long and we want to cover 6 ft (which is the given measure of the back of the shower).
To know the number of tiles needed, we will simply do cross multiplication as follows:
1 tile ...............> 2/3 ft
?? tiles ...........> 6 ft
Number of tiles = (6*1) / (2/3)
Number of tiles = 6 / (2/3)
Number of tiles = 9 tiles
Answer:
A). 6 ÷ 2/3 = 9

Solve 5(x+9) - 4 = 71 for x
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
5 times x is 5x, 5 times 9 is 45; 5x+49-4; 49 minus 4 is 45; 5x+45 = 75; now minus 45 from each side so it would now be 5x = 30; now divide; 30/5 = 6.

which fraction is less 2/10 or 5/8 or neither they are equal
2/10 is less, because with a common denominator they are 8/40 and 25/40. Since 5/8 = 25/40, and 8/40 is smaller than that, 2/10 is smaller.
Answer:
2/10 is less than 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
2/10 =0.20
5/8= 0.625
0.20<0.625

Answer:
y = [tex]\frac{2w}{x^{2}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve an equation for one of its variable do that
Underline the variableSeparate it on one side and the other terms on the other sideMake its coefficient equal 1Let us use these steps to solve our question
∵ w = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x²y
→ Underline y
∴ w = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x²y
→ Multiply both sides by 2 to cancel the denominator 2
∵ 2 × w = 2 × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x²y
∴ 2w = x²y
→ Divide both sides by x² to move it to the left side
∵ [tex]\frac{2w}{x^{2}}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x^{2}y}{x^{2}}[/tex]
∴ [tex]\frac{2w}{x^{2}}[/tex] = y
→ Switch the two sides
∴ y = [tex]\frac{2w}{x^{2}}[/tex]
