kkurt [141]

$\huge\underline{Answer -}$

we know that

$tan\:θ \:= \frac{perpendicular}{base}\\$

thus in the question ,

$\tan(B) = \frac{perpendicular}{base} \\ \\ \tan(B) = \frac{\cancel{24} \sqrt{3} }{\cancel{24}} = \sqrt{3} \\ \\ \tan(60) = \sqrt{3}$

therefore , m∠B = 60°

The distribution of head circumference for full term newborn female infants is approximately normal with a mean of 33.8 cm and a

enyata [817]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 95.65% of full term newborn female infants with a head circumference between 31 cm and 36 cm.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.

Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

$\mu = 33.8, \sigma = 1.2$

The proportion of full term newborn female infants with a head circumference between 31 cm and 36 cm is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 36 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 31</u>, hence:

X = 36:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{36 - 33.8}{1.2}$

Z = 1.83

Z = 1.83 has a p-value of 0.9664.

X = 31:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{31 - 33.8}{1.2}$

Z = -2.33

Z = -2.33 has a p-value of 0.0099.

0.9664 - 0.0099 = 0.9565.

0.9565 = 95.65% of full term newborn female infants with a head circumference between 31 cm and 36 cm.

2) Lucy spent $15, 500 to purchase a new car this year. Lucy can expect her car to depreciate at a rate of 7% per year.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

<u>Equation: V = C * (1 - r)^t</u>

<u>Answer: $ 8,066.37</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that depreciation on a car can be determined by the formula:

V = C * (1 - r)^t , where:

V is the value of the car after t years,

C is the original cost

r is the rate of depreciation

t is the number of years of utilization of the car

Therefore, we have:

V = C * (1-r)^t

V = 15,500 * (1 - 0.07)⁹

V = 8,066.37 (rounding to the next cent)

A bag contains 4 blue marbles and 2 yellow marbles. Two marbles are randomly chosen (the first marble is NOT replaced before dra

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

0.4 = 40% probability that both marbles are blue.

0.0667 = 6.67% probability that both marbles are yellow.

53.33% probability of one blue and then one yellow

If you are told that both selected marbles are the same color, 0.8571 = 85.71% probability that both are blue

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand conditional probability(for the final question) and the hypergeometric distribution(for the first three, because the balls are chosen without being replaced).

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses 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 sucesses.

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.

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

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

What is the probability that both marbles are blue?

4 + 2 = 6 total marbles, which means that $N = 6$

4 blue, which means that $k = 4$

Sample of 2, which means that $n = 2$

This is P(X = 2). So

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

$P(X = 2) = h(2,6,2,4) = \frac{C_{4,2}*C_{2,0}}{C_{6,2}} = 0.4$

0.4 = 40% probability that both marbles are blue

What is the probability that both marbles are yellow?

4 + 2 = 6 total marbles, which means that $N = 6$

2 yellow, which means that $k = 2$

Sample of 2, which means that $n = 2$

This is P(X = 2). So

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

$P(X = 2) = h(2,6,2,2) = \frac{C_{2,2}*C_{4,0}}{C_{6,2}} = 0.0667$

0.0667 = 6.67% probability that both marbles are yellow.

What is the probability of one blue and then one yellow?

Total is 100%.

Can be:

Both blue(40%)

Both yellow(6.67%)

One blue and one yellow(x%). So

40 + 6.67 + x = 100

x = 100 - 46.67

x = 53.33

53.33% probability of one blue and then one yellow.

If you are told that both selected marbles are the same color, what is the probability that both are blue?

Conditional probability.

Event A: Both same color

Event B: Both blue

Probability of both being same color:

Both blue(40%)

Both yellow(6.67%)

This means that $P(A) = 0.4 + 0.0667 = 0.4667$

Probability of both being the same color and blue:

40% probability that both are blue, which means that $P(A \cap B) = 0.4$

Desired probability:

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.4}{0.4667} = 0.8571$

If you are told that both selected marbles are the same color, 0.8571 = 85.71% probability that both are blue

Which of the expressions below can be factored using the difference of squares method?

Dmitry [639]

Answer: A. $9x^2 - 16y^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A difference of squares problem is factored as : $a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)$
For this both terms in the form of squares and a minus sign between them.

From all the options only option A has both terms square and they minus sign between them.

Also, $9x^2 - 16y^2= (3x)^2-(4y)^2=(3x+4y)(3x-4y)$

Here a= 3x and b= 4

Hence, the correct answer is A. $9x^2 - 16y^2$ .
