Find the number b such that the line y = b divides the region bounded by the curves y = 36x2 and y = 25 into two regions with eq
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

b = 15.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets find the interception points of the curves

36 x² = 25

x² = 25/36 = 0.69444

|x| = √(25/36) = 5/6

thus the interception points are 5/6 and -5/6. By evaluating in 0, we can conclude that the curve y=25 is above the other curve and b should be between 0 and 25 (note that 0 is the smallest value of 36 x²).

The area of the bounded region is given by the integral

\int\limits^{5/6}_{-5/6} {(25-36 \, x^2)} \, dx = (25x - 12 \, x^3)\, |_{x=-5/6}^{x=5/6} = 25*5/6 - 12*(5/6)^3 - (25*(-5/6) - 12*(-5/6)^3) = 250/9

The whole region has an area of 250/9. We need b such as the area of the region below the curve y =b and above y=36x^2 is 125/9. The region would be bounded by the points z and -z, for certain z (this is for the symmetry). Also for the symmetry, this region can be splitted into 2 regions with equal area: between -z and 0, and between 0 and z. The area between 0 and z should be 125/18. Note that 36 z² = b, then z = √b/6.

125/18 = \int\limits^{\sqrt{b}/6}_0 {(b - 36 \, x^2)} \, dx = (bx - 12 \, x^3)\, |_{x = 0}^{x=\sqrt{b}/6} = b^{1.5}/6 - b^{1.5}/18 = b^{1.5}/9

125/18 = b^{1.5}/9

b = (62.5²)^{1/3} = 15.75

slader Suppose that 8% of all bicycle racers use steroids, that a bicyclist who uses steroids tests positive for steroids 96% of
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

P = 0.4812

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to use here two expressions and then do the calculations.

The first one is the conditional probability which is:

P(B|A) = P(A∩B)/P(A)   (1)

The second expression to use has relation with the Bayes's theorem which is the following:

P(D|C) = P(C|D)*P(D) / P(C|D)*P(D) + P(C|d)*P(d)   (2)

Now, the expression (2) is the one that we will use to calculate the probability of a selected random bicyclist who tests positive for steroids.

So, in this case, we will call C for positive and D that is using steroids and d is the opposite of d, which means do not use steroids.

Then, the probabilities are the following:

P(D) = 8% or 0.08

P(C|D) = 96% or 0.96

P(C|d) = 9% or 0.09

P(d) = 1 - 0.08 = 0.92

With these data, let's replace in expression 2

P(D|C) = 0.96 * 0.08 /0.96 * 0.08 + 0.09*0.92

P(D|C) = 0.0768 / 0.1596

P(D|C) = 0.4812 or 48.12%
