The Washington, DC, region has one of the fastest-growing foreclosure rates in the nation, as 15,613 homes went into foreclosure

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

a) 0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.

b) 0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.

c) The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each home, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it goes into foreclosure, or it does not. The probability of a home going into foreclosure is independent of other homes. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

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

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

a. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure?

The foreclosure rate is 1.31% for the Washington, DC area, which means that $p = 0.0131$

We wanto to find, with $n = 100$ :

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0131)^{0}.(0.9869)^{100} = 0.2675$

$P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0131)^{1}.(0.9869)^{99} = 0.3551$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2675 + 0.3551 = 0.6226$

0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.

b. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure?

Foreclosure rate of 0.87% for the nation, which means that $p = 0.0087$ . So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0087)^{0}.(0.9913)^{100} = 0.4174$

$P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0087)^{1}.(0.9913)^{99} = 0.3663$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.4174 + 0.3663 = 0.7837$

0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.

c. Comment on the above findings.

The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.

I need to find the greatest common factor of <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=40s%5E3t%5E5" id="TexFormula1" title="40s^3t^5" a

solong [7]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{GCF(40s^3t^5,\ 2s^4t^4,\ 14s^6t^6)=2s^3t^4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$40s^3t^5=\boxed2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot5\cdot \boxed{s\cdot s\cdot s}\cdot \boxed{t\cdot t\cdot t\cdot t}\cdot t\\\\2s^4t^4=\boxed2\cdot \boxed{s\cdot s\cdot s}\cdot s\cdot \boxed{t\cdot t\cdot t\cdot t}\\\\14s^6t^6=\boxed2\cdot7\cdot \boxed{s\cdot s\cdot s}\cdot s\cdot s\cdot s\cdot \boxed{t\cdot t\cdot t\cdot t}\cdot t\cdot t\\\\GCF(40s^3t^5,\ 2s^4t^4,\ 14s^6t^6)=\boxed2\cdot \boxed{s\cdot s\cdot s}\cdot\boxed{t\cdot t\cdot t\cdot t}=2s^3t^4$

The diagram shows rays of light from a point source, P, that reach a detector, D, along two paths. One path is a straight line,

tatiyna

This can solved using the cosine law which is:
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos θ
Using the values given from the problem
6² = b² + b² - 2bb cos 112.62
And solving for b
36 = 2b² - 2b² cos 112.62
b = 3.6

The answer is the 3rd option.
