Answer:

(a) The probability that two randomly selected 5-year-old male horned beetles will live to be 6 years old is 0.06566.

(b) The probability that six randomly selected 5-year-old male horned beetles will live to be 6 years old is 0.000283.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the probability that a randomly selected 5-year-old male horned beetle will live to be 6 years old is 0.25624.

(a)

We need to find the probability that two randomly selected 5-year-old male horned beetles will live to be 6 years old.

$P=0.25624\times 0.25624=(0.25624)^2=0.0656589376\approx 0.06566$

Therefore the probability that two randomly selected 5-year-old male horned beetles will live to be 6 years old is 0.06566.

(b)

We need to find the probability that six randomly selected 5-year-old male horned beetles will live to be 6 years old.

$P=0.25624\times 0.25624\times 0.25624\times 0.25624\times 0.25624\times 0.25624=(0.25624)^6=0.000283061988948\approx 0.000283$

Therefore the probability that six randomly selected 5-year-old male horned beetles will live to be 6 years old is 0.000283.

Answer: (a) 0.0656

(b) 0.00028

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that a randomly selected 5-year old male horned beetle will live to be 6 years old = 0.25624

If there are

Number of male horned beetles = 2

So, probability that two randomly selected 5-year-old male horned beetles will live to be 6 years old is given by

$(0.25624)^2\\\\=0.0656$

If number of male horned beetles = 6

So, probability that six randomly selected 5-year-old male horned beetles will live to be 6 years old is given by

$(0.25624)^6\\\\=0.00028\\$

Hence, (a) 0.0656

(b) 0.00028

The solution set for the equation x - 6x + 10 = 0 is

Oxana [17]

Answer:

{3-i, 3+ i}

Step-by-step explanation:

hello : the equation is : x²-6x+10 =0

because : (3+i)²-6(3+i)+10 = 9+6i+i²-18-6i+10 =9+6i-1-18-6i+10 =0...right

same method for 3-i... (all quadratic equation have two conjugate solution)

Peter has 3200 yards of fencing to enclose a rectangular area. Find the dimensions of the rectangle that maximize the enclosed a

salantis [7]

Answer:

$A = 640000\,yd^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for the rectangular area and perimeter are, respectively:

$A (x,y) = x\cdot y$

$3200\,yd = 2\cdot (x+y)$

After some algebraic manipulation, area expression can be reduce to an one-variable form:

$y = 1600 -x$

$A (x) = x\cdot (1600-x)$

The first derivative of the previous equation is:

$\frac{dA}{dx}= 1600-2\cdot x$

Let the expression be equalized to zero:

$1600-2\cdot x=0$

$x = 800$

The second derivative is:

$\frac{d^{2}A}{dx^{2}} = -2$

According to the Second Derivative Test, the critical value found in previous steps is a maximum. Then:

$y = 800$

The maximum area is:

$A = (800\,yd)\cdot (800\,yd)$

$A = 640000\,yd^{2}$

A waterslide is rented at $500 per day plus a charge per hour of use. The bounce house was used for 5 hours one day, and the tot

Mazyrski [523]

Answer: $500+5x=800$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The rent of waterslide per day = $500

Let x be the a charge per hour of use.

The number of hours bounce house was used = 5 hours

Since, the total charge was $800.

Therefore, the equation can be used to find the charge x, in dollars, per hour of use is given by :-

Fixed charge+5 times x=Total charge

$\Rightarrow500+5x=800$
