Suppose there are 6 runners in the finals of a 100 m sprint, Abbie, Becca, Clarice, Danna, Emma, and Francine. Answer each of th

e following questions.
1. An analyst, Grace, gives Abbie a 12% chance to place first and Becca an 8% chance to place second. Assume these percentages are accurate. Can we determine the probability that Abbie will place first and Becca will place second? Why or why not?

Answer:

No, the events are dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of two events occurring is:

P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B given A)

If the events are independent (event A does not affect the probability of event B), then P(B given A) = P(B).

However, these events aren't independent.  If Abbie places first, it affects the probability of whether Becca places second.

P(B given A) ≠ P(B)

P(B given A) ≠ 0.08

Triangle XYZ with vertices X(0, 0), Y(0, –2), and Z(–2, –2) is rotated to create the image triangle X'(0, 0),
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The answer is R0, 90° and (x , y) → (-y , x) ⇒1st and 4th

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the rotation rules

- If point (x , y) rotated about the origin by angle 90° anti-clock wise

 (+90° or -270°)

∴ Its image is (-y , x)

- If point (x , y) rotated about the origin by angle 90° clock wise

 (-90° or +270°)

∴ Its image is (y , -x)

- If point (x , y) rotated about the origin by angle 180°

 (+180° or -180°)

∴ Its image is (-x , -y)

* There is no difference between rotating 180° clockwise or  

  anti-clockwise around the origin

* Lets solve the problem

∵ Δ XYZ has vertices⇒ X (0 , 0) , Y (0 , -2) , Z (-2 , -2)

∵ Δ X'Y'Z' has vertices X' (0 , 0) , Y' (2 , 0) , Z' (2 , -2)

* From them

# Y = (0 , -2) and Y' = (2 , 0), that means the image is (-y , x)

# Z = (-2 , -2) and Z' = (2 , -2), that means the image is (-y , x)

∴ The rotation is around the origin with angle 90° anti-clockwise

<em>V.I.N: </em>Anti-clock wise means positive angle , clockwise means

negative angle (90° means anti-clockwise , -90° means clockwise)

∴ The answer is: R0, 90° and (x , y) → (-y , x)

Find the value of x please
Alja [10]

Answer:

x=22

Step-by-step explanation:

angle RTS = 5x-40 (isosceles triangle)

angle RTS + angle STU = 180 (straight line)

so 5x-40+5x = 180

10x = 220

x=22

Suppose you do an analysis of the starting salaries of 100 recent Lehman graduates. You find that the average starting salary is
madreJ [45]

Answer:

a) (59180,60820)

b) (59020,60980)        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = $60,000

Standard Deviation, σ = $5,000

Sample size, n = 100

a) 90% critical values

\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Putting the values, we get,

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.10} = 1.64

60000 \pm 1.64(\frac{5000}{\sqrt{100}} ) = 60000 \pm 820 = (59180,60820)

b) 95% critical values

\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Putting the values, we get,

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96

60000 \pm 1.96(\frac{5000}{\sqrt{100}} ) = 60000 \pm 980= (59020,60980)
