Given a+b=7 and a–b=3, find: 3a÷3b

Answers

Answer 1

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two equations...

a + b = 7

a - b = 3

We are asked to find 3a ÷ 3b. In order to find the value of a and b, we have to rearrange one of the equations so it will be easier to find the values of the variables. Let's rearrange the second equation.

a - b = 3 → a = 3 + b

Now that we have an equation that shows the value of a, we can use this equation and plug it into the first equation.

a + b = 7

a = 3 + b

(3 + b) + b = 7

3 + 2b = 7

2b = 4

b = 2

We have the value of b. Now, we have to find the value of a by plugging b into the second equation.

a - b = 3

b = 2

a - 2 = 3

a = 5

Now that we have the values of both variables, we can plug them into (3a÷3b)

3a ÷ 3b

3(5) ÷ 3(2)

15 ÷ 6

5/2 or 2.5

So, 3a ÷ 3b equals 5/2 or 2.5

The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.21 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.90. Find the probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 5 minutes to select a shoe purchase. Is this outcome unusual?

Answers

Answer:

4.55% probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 5 minutes to select a shoe purchase.

Since Z > -2 and Z < 2, this outcome is not considered unusual.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

If [tex]Z \leq 2[/tex] or [tex]Z \geq 2[/tex], the outcome X is considered to be unusual.

In this question:

[tex]\mu = 8.21, \sigma = 1.9[/tex]

Find the probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 5 minutes to select a shoe purchase.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{5 - 8.21}{1.9}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.69[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.69[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0455.

4.55% probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 5 minutes to select a shoe purchase.

Since Z > -2 and Z < 2, this outcome is not considered unusual.

We will apply Sine rule in the given triangle to find the unknown sides.

By Sine rule,

[tex]\frac{Sin35}{450}=\frac{Sin85}{AC}=\frac{Sin60}{AB}[/tex]      [Since m∠A = 180° - (85 + 60)° = 35°]

[tex]\frac{Sin35}{450}=\frac{Sin85}{AC}[/tex]

AC = [tex]\frac{450\times \text{Sin85}}{\text{Sin35}}[/tex]

     = 781.57 meters

[tex]\frac{Sin35}{450}=\frac{Sin60}{AB}[/tex]

AB = [tex]\frac{450\times \text{Sin60}}{\text{Sin35}}[/tex]

     = 679.44 meters

Perimeter of the triangle = AB + BC + AC

                                         = 679.44 + 450 + 781.57

                                         = 1911.01

                                         ≈ 1911 meters

Therefore, the race covers 1911 meters.

Eighty percent of all California drivers wear seat belts. If three drivers are pulled over,

what is the probability that all would be wearing their seat belts? Write as a percent to the nearest tenth. Thanks!

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the three drivers would wear seat belts is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Percentage of drivers using seat belt = 80%

Number of drivers pulled over = 3

Required

Probability that all three drivers wore seat belt

First, the probability that a driver would wear seat belt has to be calculated.

Let's represent that with P(D)

P(D) is equivalent to the percentage of drivers using seat belt

[tex]P(D) = 80%[/tex]%

[tex]P(D) = \frac{80}{100}[/tex]

[tex]P(D) = 0.8[/tex]

Let the probability that the three drivers would wear seat belts be represented as P(All).

P(All) is calculated as thus;

(Probability that the first driver would wear seat belt) and (Probability that the second driver would wear seat belt) and (Probability that the first driver would wear seat belt).

Mathematically, this means

[tex]P(All) = P(D) * P(D) * P(D)[/tex]

Substitute [tex]P(D) = 0.8[/tex]

[tex]P(All) = 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8[/tex]

[tex]P(All) = 0.512[/tex]

[tex]P(All) = 0.5[/tex] --- Approximated

Hence, the probability that the three drivers would wear seat belts is 0.5

a) $80.88
b) $74.23
c) $84.62
d) $134.77

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(z<\frac{a-\mu}{\sigma})=0.10[/tex]

and we can set up the following equation

tex]z=-1.282<\frac{a-104.5}{23.62}[/tex]

And if we solve for a we got

[tex]a=104.5 -1.282*23.62=74.22[/tex]

And the best answer for this case would be:

b) $74.23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the stocks price of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

[tex]X \sim N(104.5,23.62)[/tex]  

Where [tex]\mu=104.5[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=23.62[/tex]

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

[tex]P(X>a)=0.90[/tex]   (a)

[tex]P(X<a)=0.10[/tex]   (b)

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.10 of the area on the left and 0.90 of the area on the right it's z=-1.282. On this case P(Z<-1.282)=0.10 and P(z>-1.282)=0.90

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

[tex]P(X<a)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{a-\mu}{\sigma})=0.10[/tex]  

[tex]P(z<\frac{a-\mu}{\sigma})=0.10[/tex]

and we can set up the following equation

tex]z=-1.282<\frac{a-104.5}{23.62}[/tex]

And if we solve for a we got

[tex]a=104.5 -1.282*23.62=74.22[/tex]

And the best answer for this case would be:

b) $74.23

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

Given a isosceles right triangle with two equal legs measuring [tex]3\sqrt{2}[/tex] units

By Pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)² = (Leg 1)² + (Leg 2)²

Since, hypotenuse = h

Leg 1 = Leg 2 = 3√2

Now we substitute the values,

h² = (3√2)² + (3√2)²

h² = 18 + 18

h = √36

h = 6 units

Therefore, length of the hypotenuse is 6 units.

Option (E) will be the answer.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, the length of the hypotenuse is: E. 6.

The Pythagorean Theorem

Given that the hypotenuse length of a right triangle is c, and the other legs are a and b, the Pythagorean Theorem states that: c = √(a² + b²).

Thus:

h = √((3√2)² + (3√2)²)

h = √(18 + 18)

h = √36

h = 6

Therefore, using the Pythagorean Theorem, the length of the hypotenuse is: E. 6.

Carpet: 10.5 x 7 = 73.5

Tile: 5.75 x 3.5 = 20.125

The you subtract the area of the tiled floor from the carpet

Using either the critical value rule or the p-value rule, if a one-sided null hypothesis for a single mean cannot be rejected at a given significance level, then the corresponding two-sided null hypothesis (i.e., the same sample size, the same standard deviation, and the same mean) will ______________ be rejected at the same significance level.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using either the critical value rule or the p-value rule, a conclusion can be drawn at a level of significance (alpha)

The null hypothesis: u = hypothesized mean

Alternative hypothesis: u > u0 or u < u0 for a one tailed test

Alternative hypothesis for a two tailed test: u =/ u0

To draw a conclusion by failing to reject the null hypothesis as stated then: using critical value

Observed z score > critical z score for both the one and two tailed test.

Or using p value:

P-value > alpha for a one tailed test

P-value > alpha/2 for a two tailed test

Thus, if a one-sided null hypothesis for a single mean cannot be rejected at a given significance level, then the corresponding two-sided null hypothesis will also not be rejected at the same significance level.

A rectangular playground is to be fenced off and divided in two by another fence parallel to one side of the playground. Six hundredSix hundred and sixtyand sixty feet of fencing is used. Find the dimensions of the playground that maximize the total enclosed area. What is the maximum​ area?

Answers

Answer:

Dimensions: 165 feet by 110 feet.

Maximum Area =18,150 Square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dimension of the playground be x and y.

The rectangular playground is to be fenced off and divided in two by another fence parallel to one side of the playground.

Let the side parallel to one side of the playground =x

Therefore, the total length of fencing =2x+x+2y

P=3x+2y

Six hundred and sixty feet of fencing is used.

We have: 3x+2y=660

3x=660-2y

[tex]x=\dfrac{660-2y}{3}[/tex]

Area of the Playground A=xy

We write the area in terms of y by substitution of x derived above.

[tex]A(y)=y\left(\dfrac{660-2y}{3}\right )\\A(y)=\dfrac{660y-2y^2}{3}[/tex]

We want to maximize the total enclosed area.

To do this, we first find the derivative of A(y).

[tex]A'(y)=\dfrac{660-4y}{3}[/tex]

Next, we solve A'(y) for its critical point.

[tex]A'(y)=\dfrac{660-4y}{3}=0\\660-4y=0\\660=4y\\y=660 \div 4\\y=165$ feet\\[/tex]

Recall that: [tex]x=\dfrac{660-2y}{3}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]x=\dfrac{660-2(165)}{3}=\dfrac{660-330}{3}=\dfrac{330}{3}\\x=110$ feet[/tex]

Therefore, the dimensions of the playground that maximize the total enclosed area is 165 feet by 110 feet.

Maximum Area =165 X 110

=18,150 Square feet

Answer:

Dimensions: 165 feet by 110 feet.

Maximum Area =18,150 Square feet

Maximum Area =165 X 110

Answer:

The correct option is B

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The sample size  is  [tex]n = 49[/tex]

       The mean is  [tex]\mu = 17ppb[/tex]

       The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 14 ppb[/tex]

Generally the standard error of this measurement is mathematically represented as

       [tex]\sigma_z = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]      

substituting values

      [tex]\sigma_{\= x} = \frac{14}{\sqrt{49} }[/tex]  

     [tex]\sigma_{\= x} = 2[/tex]ppb

Now the probability that the mean lead level from the sample of 49 measurements T is less than 15 ppb represented as P(X < 15 )

Next is to find the z value

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

     [tex]z = \frac{15-17}{2}[/tex]

      [tex]z = -1[/tex]

Now checking the z-table for the z-score of  -1 we have  

      [tex]P(X<15) = P(Z < -1 )= 0.16[/tex]

                       

       

     

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is a 0.16 = 16% probability that the mean lead level from the sample of 49 measurements T is less than 15 ppb, hence option B is correct.

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X. By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex], considering a sample size of at least 30 for a skewed variable.

In this problem:

Mean of 17 ppb, hence [tex]\mu = 17[/tex].Standard deviation of 14 ppb, hence [tex]\sigma = 14[/tex].Sample of 49, hence [tex]n = 49, s = \frac{14}{\sqrt{49}} = 2[/tex]

The probability that the mean lead level from the sample of 49 measurements T is less than 15 ppb is the p-value of Z when X = 15, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{15 - 17}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.16

0.16 = 16% probability that the mean lead level from the sample of 49 measurements T is less than 15 ppb, hence option B is correct.

The toxin binds to the extracellular side of the voltage-gated Na+ channel and prevents channel opening. This leads to paralysis of muscles, including the diaphragm. Death from respiratory failure can occur after ingestion of as little as 1 mg of the toxin. How does this toxin cause paralysis? Choose one: A. The axon membranes continue to depolarize since sodium cannot leave the cell. This causes the cell to become overloaded and dysfunction. A signal is not sent to the muscle, so the muscle cannot contract. B. Sodium cannot enter and cause the membrane to depolarize. The action potential cannot be sent along the axon, so the neuron does not send a signal to the muscles. Thus the muscles are paralyzed. C. Since sodium cannot enter through its normal channel, the sodium ions flood through the potassium channels, causing an imbalance in ions. This imbalance causes too many signals to be sent to the muscle, leading to paralysis.
