Answer:

Question 6 answer is 35

Step-by-step explanation:

using pythagoras theorem, hypotenuse²= opposite²+ adjacent²

since it is said that we're looking for the hypotenuse then the values given are for opposite and adjacent.

therefore, hyp²= 21²+28²

hyp²= 1225 take square root of both sides to eliminate square and find hypotenuse

hyp= 35

Naval intelligence reports that 4 enemy vessels in a fleet of 17 are carrying nuclear weapons. If 9 vessels are randomly targete

icang [17]

Answer:

0.7588 = 75.88% probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed

Step-by-step explanation:

The vessels are destroyed without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this question:

Fleet of 17 means that $N = 17$

4 are carrying nucleas weapons, which means that $k = 4$

9 are destroyed, which means that $n = 9$

What is the probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed?

This is:

$P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1)$

In which

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 0) = h(0,17,9,4) = \frac{C_{4,0}*C_{13,9}}{C_{17,9}} = 0.0294$

$P(X = 1) = h(1,17,9,4) = \frac{C_{4,1}*C_{13,8}}{C_{17,9}} = 0.2118$

Then

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0294 + 0.2118 = 0.2412$

$P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1) = 1 - 0.2412 = 0.7588$

0.7588 = 75.88% probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed

Can someone please help me with # 2 #13 thanks show work how it's done, please

Problem 13

10p+10q factors to 10(p+q). If we apply the distributive property, we can distribute the 10 to each term inside (p and q) to get

10(p+q) = (10 times p)+(10 times q) = 10*p + 10*q = 10p+10q

so we get the original expression again. Here 10 is the GCF of the two terms.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Plug p = 1 and q = 2 into the factored form

10*(p+q) = 10*(1+2) = 10*(3) = 30

As a check, let's plug those p,q values into the original expression

10*p+10*q = 10*1+10*2 = 10+20 = 30

We get the same output of 30

A sphere with a radius of 5 cm fits inside a box. Every face of the box is tangent to the sphere. What is the ratio of the volum

BARSIC [14]

Volume of box with side length of 5 = 5^3 = 125

Volume of sphere = (4/3)*pi*5^3 = (4/3)pi * 125

Ratio = 125/(4pi/3)*125 = 1/(4pi/3) = 3/(4pi)

A true/false test has 40 questions. Suppose a passing grade is 30 or more correct answers. Test the claim that a student knows m

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

z≈3.16

p≈0.001

we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the student knows more than half of the answers and is not just guessing in 0.05 significance level.

Step-by-step explanation:

As a result of step 2, we can assume normal distribution for the null hypothesis

z statistic is computed as follows:

z= $\frac{X-M}{\frac{\sqrt{p*(1-p)} }{\sqrt{N} } }$ where

X is the proportion of correct answers in the test ( $\frac{30}{40}$ )
M is the expected proportion of correct answers according to the null hypothesis (0.5)

p is the probability of correct answer (0.5)
N is the total number of questions in the test (40)

z= $\frac{0.75-0.50}{\frac{\sqrt{0.5*(0.5)} }{\sqrt{40} } }$ ≈ 3.16

And corresponding p value for the z-statistic is p≈0.001.

Since p<0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the student knows more than half of the answers and is not just guessing in 0.05 significance level.
