Answer:

a) 0.1091

b) 0.9994

c) 0.5886

Step-by-step explanation:

X = the number of fish out of 20 that die after 24 hours

x = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 20

X~ Binomial (n= 20, p =0.20)

P(14 survive) = P(X = 6)

= nC_r p^r q^{n-r}= 20C_6 0.2^6\times0.8^{14}=0.1091

Similarly we can find out

P(at least 10 survive) = P( X <= 10 ) = (Using technology) = 0.9994

P(at most 16 will survive) = P(X <= 16) = (Using technology) = 0.5886

Outside temperature over a day can be modeled as a sinusoidal function. Suppose you know the temperature is 45 degrees at midnig
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

D = 9sin(2π(t + a)/24) + 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the average temperature;

(54 + 36)/2 = 45°

Amplitude = 54 - 45 = 9

From the wave equation, we can write the temperature as;

D = 9sin(2π(t + a)/24) + 45

Where;

D is the temperature

t is the time in hours after midnight

a is a "phase" that is used to set the time at which temperature(D) occurs

A high school held an election for class president. Exactly 1,000 votes were cast and they were all for either Gillian or Clive.
lisov135 [29]

Answer: 60%

1000÷2=500

Clive: 500-100= 400

Gillian: 500+100= 600 (Because Gillian has 100 more votes than Clive)

\frac{600}{1000} \times 100\%  = 60\%

A heavy bank-vault door is opened by the application of a force of 3.0 x 102 N directed perpendicular to the plane of the door a
gogolik [260]
For this question, we need  the formula τ = F x d<span>, and just plug the numbers in.

</span>

Given the formula <span>τ = F x d</span>
Where τ = torque,
F = force applied, &
d = distance from the axis / hinge,

<span>τ = 300 c 0.8 = 240Nm</span>

Disregard the weight of the door or if there's any friction at the hinge. None of this will change the torque applied.
