An article claimed the state's typical price of a gallon of gasoline is $2.69. The prices from 5 gas stations surveyed were $2.7

9, $2.99, $2.69, $2.89, and $2.69.
According to this data, what is wrong with the article's statement?

The typical average price of gasoline should be $2.81 and not $2.69 because $2.69  is not the average of the sampled prices.

<h3>What is the mean of the sample?</h3>

We are given the prices of a gallon of gasoline from 5 gas stations surveyed as; $2.79, $2.99, $2.69, $2.89, and $2.69.

Thus, to calculate the mean, we will use the formula;

Mean = ∑x/n

Mean = (2.79 + 2.99 + 2.69 + 2.89 + 2.69)/5

Mean = 14.05/5

Mean = $2.81

Thus, the typical average price of gasoline should be $2.81 and not $2.69

find a model for simple harmonic motion if the position at t = 0 is 6, the amplitude is 6 centimeters, and the period is 4 secon
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

y = 6cos(π/2)t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that,

in a simple harmonic motion in which

at t=0 the amplitude is 6 cm, so the simple harmonic motion will be in cosine form. As in case of sine function, the value of function at t=0 is 0.  

And,

the period is given as 4 sec

We know that model equation of simple harmonic motion is

<h3>y = a. cosb(t + c) + d</h3>

here,

a is amplitude

c is Horizontal shift or phase shift

d is Vertical shift

<h3>Step1</h3><h3>Find b</h3>

Period = 2 π / b

4 = 2π / b

b = 2π/4

b = 1π/2

<h3>Step2</h3><h3>Find shifts</h3>

Horizontal and vertical shifts are 0.

So, c = 0 and d = 0

<h3>Step3</h3><h3>Plug those values in the above in the equation</h3>

y = 6cos π/2 (t + 0) + 0

y = 6cos(π/2)t

0.36(18)+0.04x=0.12(24+x)
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

x = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

0.36(18) + 0.04x = 0.12(24 + x)

6.48 + 0.04x = 2.88 + 0.12x

0.04x - 0.12x = 2.88 - 6.48

-0.08x = -3.6

0.08x = 3.6

x = 3.6/0.08

x = 45

The chance of rain on a randomly selected day in Western Oregon between June 21st and September 21st is 30% each day. What is th
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

0.47 is the probability it rains at least 2 out of any randomly selected 5 days during the given time of year

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat training as a success.

P(Rain) = 30% = 0.30

Then the chances of rain on each day follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 5

We have to evaluate:

P(x \geq 2) =1- P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) \\=1- \binom{5}{0}(0.3)^0(1-0.3)^5 - \binom{5}{1}(0.3)^1(1-0.3)^4\\=1- 0.16807- 0.36015\\= 0.47178 \approx 0.47

0.47 is the probability it rains at least 2 out of any randomly selected 5 days during the given time of year
