A trapezoid has an area given by A =1-2(b1+b2)h,where b1,is the length of one base, b2 is the length of the other
base, and h is the height. If the trapezoid has an area of 14 square units, solve for b in terms of the other variables.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  b1 = (28/h) -b2

Step-by-step explanation:

Filling in the given value for A, you have ...

  14 = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

Multiply by 2/h:

  28/h = b1 +b2

Subtract b2:

  b1 = (28/h) -b2

The time, T (seconds) it takes for a pot of water to boil is inversely proportional to the cooker setting, H , applied to the pot. When H = 7 , T = 150 . What must the cooker setting be if it takes 7 minutes to boil the water?

Answers

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following parameters;

Time, T = 150mins

Cooker setting, H = 7

Since the time for a pot of water to boil is inversely proportional to the cooker setting;

[tex]T * 1/H[/tex]

[tex]T = K/H[/tex] ........equation 1

Where, K is the constant of proportionality.

Substituting the parameters into the equation 1, we have;

150 = K/7

K = 150*7

K = 1050

To find the cooker setting at 7mins;

[tex]T = K/H[/tex]

H = K/T

H = 1050 ÷ 7

H = 150.

Hence, the cooker setting must be at 150.

Vertex of a quadratic function:

Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:

[tex]f(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c[/tex]

It's vertex is the point [tex](x_{v}, f(x_{v})[/tex]

In which

[tex]x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at [tex]x_{v}[/tex], and it's value is [tex]f(x_{v})[/tex]

In this question:

[tex]h(t) = -32t^{2} + 8t + 3[/tex]

When is the ball at a maximum height

[tex]t_{v} = -\frac{8}{2*(-32)} = 0.125[/tex]

The ball is at a maximum height when t = 0.125s.

In a data distribution, the first quartile, the median and the means are 30.8, 48.5 and 42.0 respectively. If the coefficient skewness is - 0.38
What is the appropriate value of the third quartile

Answers

Answer:

56.45  

Step-by-step explanation:

Coefficient skewness=(Third quartile+ first quartile)-n*Median/Third quartile-first quartile

Third quartile is the unknown?

First quartile is 30.8

n is the number of steps taken from first quartile to reach third quartile which is 2 steps.

coefficient skewness is -0.38

let p represent third quartile

-0.38=(p+30.8)-2(48.5)/p-30.8

by cross multiplication

-0.38(p-30.8)=(p+30.8)-97

-0.38p+ 11.704  =p+30.8-97

-0.38p-p=30.8-97-11.704

-1.38p=-77.904

p=-77.904 /-1.38= 56.45

In October 2012, Apple introduced a much smaller variant of the Apple iPad, known as the iPad Mini. Weighing less than 11 ounces, it was about 50% lighter than the standard iPad. Battery tests for the iPad Mini showed a mean life of 10.25 hours (The Wall Street Journal, October 31, 2012). Assume that battery life of the iPad Mini is uniformly distributed between 8.5 and 12 hours.
a. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less (to 4 decimals)?b. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours (to 4 decimals)?c. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours (to 4 decimals)?d. In a shipment of 100 iPad Minis, how many should have a battery life of at least 9 hours (to nearest whole value)?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.4286 = 42.86% probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less

b) 0.2857 = 28.57% probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours

c) 0.5714 = 57.14% probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours

d) 86 should have a battery life of at least 9 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X lower than x is given by the following formula.

[tex]P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}[/tex]

The probability of being higher than x is:

[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b-a}[/tex]

The probability of being between c and d is:

[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d-c}{b-a}[/tex]

Assume that battery life of the iPad Mini is uniformly distributed between 8.5 and 12 hours.

This means that [tex]a = 8.5, b = 12[/tex]

a. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less (to 4 decimals)?

[tex]P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 10) = \frac{10 - 8.5}{12 - 8.5} = 0.4286[/tex]

0.4286 = 42.86% probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less.

b. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours (to 4 decimals)?

[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b-a}[/tex]

[tex]P(X > 11) = \frac{12 - 11}{12 - 8.5} = 0.2857[/tex]

0.2857 = 28.57% probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours

c. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours (to 4 decimals)?

[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d-c}{b-a}[/tex]

[tex]P(9.5 \leq X \leq 11.5) = \frac{11.5 - 9.5}{12 - 8.5} = 0.5714[/tex]

0.5714 = 57.14% probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours.

d. In a shipment of 100 iPad Minis, how many should have a battery life of at least 9 hours (to nearest whole value)?

Proportion of iPad Minis with a battery life of at least 9 hours.

[tex]P(X > 11) = \frac{12 - 9}{12 - 8.5} = 0.8571[/tex]

Out of 100:

0.8571*100 = 85.71

Solve the following quadratic equation using the quadratic formula. Separate multiple answers with a comma if necessary.

[tex]−yx^{2} +4y−6=0[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

[tex] y =\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Where [tex] a = 1, b= -4 ,c =6[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] y = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{4^2 -4(1)(6)}}{2*1}[/tex]

And solving we got:

[tex] y = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{-8}}{2} =2 \pm 2\sqrt{2} i[/tex]

Where [tex] i =\sqrt{-1}[/tex]

And the possible solutions are:

[tex] y_1=2 + 2\sqrt{2} i , y_2 = 2 - 2\sqrt{2} i [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we use the equation given by the image and we have:

[tex] -y^2 +4y -6=0[/tex]

We can rewrite the last expression like this if we multiply both sides of the equation by -1.

[tex] y^2 -4y +6=0[/tex]

Now we can use the quadratic formula given by:

[tex] y =\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Where [tex] a = 1, b= -4 ,c =6[/tex]

And replacing we got:

A can of pumpkin pie mix contains a mean of 30 ounces and a standard deviation of 2 ounces. The contents of the cans are normally distributed.. Supposed four can of pumpkin pie mix are randomly selected What is the probalility that the average content of cans in sample is between 28.0 ounces and 31.5

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(28<X<31.5)=P(\frac{28-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{31.5-\mu}{\sigma})=P(\frac{28-30}{2}<Z<\frac{31.5-30}{2})=P(-1<z<0.75)[/tex]

We can find this probability with this difference

[tex]P(-1<z<0.75)=P(z<0.75)-P(z<-1)[/tex]

If we use the normal standard distribution or excel we got:

[tex]P(-1<z<0.75)=P(z<0.75)-P(z<-1)=0.773-0.159=0.614[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the weights for a can of pumpkin pie, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(30,2)[/tex]  

Where [tex]\mu=30[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=2[/tex]

We are interested on this probability

[tex]P(28<X<31.5)[/tex]

We can use the z score formula given by:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Using this formula we got:

[tex]P(28<X<31.5)=P(\frac{28-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{31.5-\mu}{\sigma})=P(\frac{28-30}{2}<Z<\frac{31.5-30}{2})=P(-1<z<0.75)[/tex]

We can find this probability with this difference

[tex]P(-1<z<0.75)=P(z<0.75)-P(z<-1)[/tex]

If we use the normal standard distribution or excel we got:

[tex]P(-1<z<0.75)=P(z<0.75)-P(z<-1)=0.773-0.159=0.614[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

C.  ​No, the distribution is not symmetric and the frequencies do not start off low.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have the data of daily rainfall for one month (inches)

To arrange a data set in a frequency table you have to determine the number of class intervals you want to make, then you calculate their widths as: "total observations"/"desired number of intervals". Once you have the class width, you can determine the limits of the intervals. For the first interval, you select the minimum value of the sample and add the width to obtain the upper limit. Then you have to use that limit as the lower limit of the next interval and add the width to obtain the next limit. And so on until the last one.

In this example you have a given class width of 0.20 and the lower limit for the first interval is 0.00.

Once you have all intervals determined, you have to arrange the data set from least to greatest and count how many observations correspond to each interval.

The symbol [;) in the intervals indicates that the interval is "closed" on the lower limit and "open" on the upper limit. Meaning, if you have for example the observation "0.20" and the intervals [0.00; 0.20) and [0.20; 0.40), the first interval has a limit equal to 0.20 but is open, meaning that the observation does not belong to it, it belongs to the next interval.

(See table in attachment)

Does the frequency distribution appear to be roughly a normal​ distribution?

A.  ​No, although the distribution is approximately​ symmetric, the frequencies do not start​ low, increase to some maximum​ frequency, then decrease.

B.  ​No, although the frequencies start​ low, increase to some ​maximum, then​ decrease, the distribution is not symmetric.

C.  ​No, the distribution is not symmetric and the frequencies do not start off low.

D.  ​Yes, all the requirements are met.

As you can see not all defined intervals have at least one observed frequency, most of the observations belong to the first and second one. And there is value, 1.28 inches, that shifts the distribution to the right making it strongly skewed. This distribution is far away from being normally distributed.

A ball thrown into the air from a roof 15 feet above the ground with an initial vertical velocity of 30 ft/sec can be modeled by the equation: . How long will the ball be in the air? What is it’s maximum height?

Answers

Answer:

Total time of flight= 6.3 s

Total Max height= 60.87ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Height above ground = 15ft

Velocity=30ft/sec

Angle = 90°

Max height traveled= U²Sin²tita/2g

Max height traveled= ( 30²*1²)/(2*9.81)

Max height traveled= 900/19.62

Max height traveled= 45.87 ft

Total Max height= 15+45.87= 60.87ft

Time travel to Max height

=( usin90)/g

Time travel to initial position

= (30*sin90)/9.81

= 3.1 s

Time to travel to the ground from Max height

H = 1/2gt²

60.87= 1/2 * 9.81*t²

(60.87*2)/9.81= t²

3.5 = t

Total time of flight = 3.5+3.1

Total time of flight= 6.3 s

K none of these

Answers

The Answer is F.

20min - 30min is -10 so you can take it out of 8h which will leave you with 7h and 50 minutes then
7h and 50 min minus 10 h is -3 h and 50 minutes take it out of the 7 day’s which leaves you with 6days and 24 h minus 3 h that it 6days and 21 h and 50 minutes in total and minus the ram aiming 4 days which will be

2days 21 hours 50 minutes and that gives you the answer F

What is function?

A relation between a collection of inputs and outputs is known as a function. A function is, to put it simply, a relationship between inputs in which each input is connected to precisely one output.

For the given function,

y = -x-5

Wen we put x = -1

we get y = -4

Also,

The range of this function is (-∞, ∞)

The length of time for one individual to be served at a cafeteria is an exponential random variable with mean of 6 minutes. Assume a person has waited for at least 4 minutes to be served. What is the probability that the person will need to wait at least 9 minutes total

Answers

Answer:

43.46% probability that the person will need to wait at least 9 minutes total

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand conditional probability and the exponential distribution.

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.

Expontial 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]

In this question:

Event A: Waited at least 4 minutes.

Event B: Waiting at least 9 minutes.

The length of time for one individual to be served at a cafeteria is an exponential random variable with mean of 6 minutes.

This means that [tex]m = 6, \mu = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Probability of waiting at least 4 minutes.

[tex]P(A) = P(X \geq 4) = P(X > 4)[/tex]

[tex]P(A) = P(X > 4) = e^{-\frac{4}{6}} = 0.5134[/tex]

Intersection:

The intersection between a waiting time of at least 4 minutes and a waiting time of at list 9 minutes is a waiting time of 9 minutes. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(X > 9) = e^{-\frac{9}{6}} = 0.2231[/tex]

What is the probability that the person will need to wait at least 9 minutes total

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{0.2231}{0.5134} = 0.4346[/tex]

43.46% probability that the person will need to wait at least 9 minutes total
