Answer: (D) 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula :-

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^n-x, where n is the sample size , p is population proportion and P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trial.

Given : The proportion of students in College are near-sighted : p= 0.28

Sample size : n= 20

Then, the the probability that in a randomly chosen group of 20 College students, exactly 4 are near-sighted is given by :_

P(x=4)=^{20}C_4(0.28)^4(1-0.28)^{20-4}\\\\=\dfrac{20!}{4!16!}(0.28)^4(0.72)^{16}\\\\=0.155326604912\approx0.16\%

Hence, the probability that in a randomly chosen group of 20 College students, exactly 4 are near-sighted is closest to 16%.

38. Evaluate f (3x +4y)dx + (2x --3y)dy where C, a circle of radius two with center at the origin of the xy
lina2011 [118]

It looks like the integral is

\displaystyle \int_C (3x+4y)\,\mathrm dx + (2x-3y)\,\mathrm dy

where <em>C</em> is the circle of radius 2 centered at the origin.

You can compute the line integral directly by parameterizing <em>C</em>. Let <em>x</em> = 2 cos(<em>t</em> ) and <em>y</em> = 2 sin(<em>t</em> ), with 0 ≤ <em>t</em> ≤ 2<em>π</em>. Then

\displaystyle \int_C (3x+4y)\,\mathrm dx + (2x-3y)\,\mathrm dy = \int_0^{2\pi} \left((3x(t)+4y(t))\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt} + (2x(t)-3y(t))\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right)\,\mathrm dt \\\\ = \int_0^{2\pi} \big((6\cos(t)+8\sin(t))(-2\sin(t)) + (4\cos(t)-6\sin(t))(2\cos(t))\big)\,\mathrm dt \\\\ = \int_0^{2\pi} (12\cos^2(t)-12\sin^2(t)-24\cos(t)\sin(t)-4)\,\mathrm dt \\\\ = 4 \int_0^{2\pi} (3\cos(2t)-3\sin(2t)-1)\,\mathrm dt = \boxed{-8\pi}

Another way to do this is by applying Green's theorem. The integrand doesn't have any singularities on <em>C</em> nor in the region bounded by <em>C</em>, so

\displaystyle \int_C (3x+4y)\,\mathrm dx + (2x-3y)\,\mathrm dy = \iint_D\frac{\partial(2x-3y)}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial(3x+4y)}{\partial y}\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy = -2\iint_D\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy

where <em>D</em> is the interior of <em>C</em>, i.e. the disk with radius 2 centered at the origin. But this integral is simply -2 times the area of the disk, so we get the same result: -2\times \pi\times2^2 = -8\pi.

Please help, I’ve been stuck on this question for about a hour now.
Hoochie [10]
6x + 5x + (x + 16) + (3x - 1) = 360
11x + x + 16 + 3x - 1
15x + 15 = 360
15x = 345
x = 23


6(23) = 138
((23) + 16) = 39
(3(23) - 1) =68
5(23) = 115

138 + 39 + 68 + 115 = 360
