Answer:

The area is equal to $8\ units^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

A(0, 0), B(2, -2), C(0, -4), D(-2, -2)

Plot the figure

The figure is a square (remember that a regular polygon has equal sides and equal internal angles)

see the attached figure

The area of the square is

$A=AB^{2}$

Find the distance AB

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

substitute the values

$AB=\sqrt{(-2-0)^{2}+(2-0)^{2}}$

$AB=\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(2)^{2}}$

$AB=\sqrt{8}$

$AB=2\sqrt{2}\ units$

Find the area of the square

$A=(2\sqrt{2})^{2}$

$A=8\ units^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> The money each friend must pay, including the tip

we know that

$100\%+15\%=115 \%=115/100=1.15$

$x=\$134.50*(1.15)/4$

A geologist has collected 5 specimens of basaltic rock and 7 specimens of granite. The geologist instructs a laboratory assistan

MaRussiya [10]

The rocks are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question. First we get the parameters, and then we answer the questions. From this, we get that:

$E(X) = 5.25, Var(X) = 0.5966$
P(X < 6) = 0.9545
P(all specimens of one of the two types of rock are selected for analysis) = 0.2046.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

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

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

The mean and the variance are:

$\mu = \frac{nk}{N}$

$\sigma^2 = \frac{nk(N-k)(N-n)}{N^2(N-1)}$

We have that:

5 + 7 = 12 rocks, which means that $N = 12$

9 are chosen, which means that $n = 9$

7 are granite, which means that $k = 7$

Question a:

$E(X) = \mu = \frac{9\times7}{12} = 5.25$

$Var(X) = \sigma^2 = \frac{9\times7(12-7)(12-9)}{12^2(12-1)} = 0.5966$

Thus:

$E(X) = 5.25, Var(X) = 0.5966$

Question b:

Since there are only 5 specimens of basaltic rock, at least 9 - 5 = 4 specimens of granite are needed, which means that:

$P(X < 6) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

In which

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 4) = h(4,12,9,7) = \frac{C_{7,4}*C_{5,5}}{C_{12,9}} = 0.1591$

$P(X = 5) = h(5,12,9,7) = \frac{C_{7,5}*C_{5,4}}{C_{12,9}} = 0.4773$

$P(X = 6) = h(6,12,9,7) = \frac{C_{7,6}*C_{5,3}}{C_{12,9}} = 0.3181$

Thus

$P(X < 6) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.1591 + 0.4773 + 0.3181 = 0.9545$

So P(X < 6) = 0.9545.

Question c:

5 of basaltic and 4 of granite: 0.1591 probability.

7 of granite is P(X = 7), in which

$P(X = 7) = h(7,12,9,7) = \frac{C_{7,7}*C_{5,2}}{C_{12,9}} = 0.0455$

0.1591 + 0.0455 = 0.2046, thus:

P(all specimens of one of the two types of rock are selected for analysis) = 0.2046.

Answer:

x=-1,y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=0

x-y+2=0

Therefore 0=x+y

x-y+2=x+y

2y=2
