What property is used to find (9-7)(5)=2(n)

Make a table showing the probability distribution for the possible sums when tossing two four-sided dice (the sides are numbered

alexira [117]

We would have the following sample space:
(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4)
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4)
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4)

Those give us these sums:
2, 3, 4, 5
3, 4, 5, 6
4, 5, 6, 7
5, 6, 7, 8

P(sum of 2) = 1/16 =0.0625
P(sum of 3) = 2/16 = 0.125
P(sum of 4) = 3/16 = 0.1875
P(sum of 5) = 4/16 = 0.25
P(sum of 6) = 3/16 = 0.1875
P(sum of 7) = 2/16 = 0.125
P(sum of 8) = 1/16 = 0.0625

A large department store is prepared to buy 3,800 of your tie-dye shower curtains per month for $5 each, but only 3,600 shower c

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

q= -40p+c

q= -40p+4,000

Step-by-step explanation:

$5 each for 3800 tye-dye shower curtains

$10 each for 3600 tye-dye shower curtains

Slope of the demand line is

3800-3600/5-10

=200/-5

= -40

Demand function is

q= -40p + c

Where c is a constant

For q=3800 and p=$5

Demand function is

q= -40p + c

3800= -40(5)+c

3800= -200+c

c=3800+200

c=4,000

Linear demand function is

q= -40p+4,000

In a certain neighborhood, there's a sagging power line between two utility poles. The utility poles are 50 feet tall and 120 fe

e-lub [12.9K]

<h3>Answer: 33.75 feet</h3>

In fraction form, this value is equal to 135/4

33.75 ft is equivalent to 33 ft, 9 inches.

===============================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

The key point to start with is point H, which is the vertex of the parabola.

Recall that vertex form is

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

What we'll do is plug in the vertex (h,k) = (60,30) which is the location of point H. We'll also plug in (0,45) which is the y intercept, aka the location of point C.

So,

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

y = a(x-60)^2 + 30 .... plug in vertex

45 = a(0-60)^2 + 30 .... plug in y intercept coordinates

45 = a(-60)^2 + 30

45 = a(3600) + 30

45 = 3600a + 30

45-30 = 3600a

3600a = 15

a = 15/3600

a = 1/240

This then means:

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

y = (1/240)(x-60)^2 + 30

This is the equation of our parabola. Plug in x = 30 to determine the height of point K

y = (1/240)(x-60)^2 + 30

y = (1/240)(30-60)^2 + 30

y = (1/240)(-30)^2 + 30

y = (1/240)(900) + 30

y = 15/4 + 30

y = 15/4 + 120/4

y = 135/4

y = 33.75

Therefore, the height of the power line, when it is 30 feet away from one of the poles, is 33.75 feet. This is the y coordinate of point K.

Side note: 33.75 ft = 33 ft + 0.75 ft = 33 ft + 12*0.75 in = 33 ft + 9 inches

In a horse race with 5 horses, you make a bet by predicting the ranking of all 5 horses. Suppose you place your bet at random. W

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

P( top two horses are predicted incorrectly in incorrect order)

= $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the horse race the outcome can be predicted in 5! = 120 ways.

Now suppose the top two horses were predicted incorrectly in incorrect order. Now, the top horse can be predicted incorrectly in 4 ways.

Suppose the top horse was predicted to be in k-th position where k = 2, 3 ,4,5

so the second horse can be predicted to be in place from 1 to (k - 1)

So, the top two horses can be predicted incorrectly in incorrect order

in $\sum_{k =2}^{5}(k - 1)$ = 10 ways

and for each prediction of the two the remaining horses may be predicted in 3! = 6 ways.

Hence ,

P( top two horses are predicted incorrectly in incorrect order)

= $\frac{6 \times 10}{120}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$

The average yield of the standard variety off soybeans per acre on a farm in a region is 48.8 bushels per acre, with a standard

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

$z=\frac{53.4-48.8}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{36}}}=2.3$

$p_v =P(Z>2.3)=1-P(Z$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly higher than 48.8 at 1% of signficance.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$\bar X=53.4$ represent the sample mean

$\sigma=12$ represent the population standard deviation assumed

$n=36$ sample size

$\mu_o =48.8$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is higher than 48.8, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 48$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 48$

Since we assume that know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

3) Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$z=\frac{53.4-48.8}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{36}}}=2.3$

4)P-value

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(Z>2.3)=1-P(Z$

5) Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly higher than 48.8 at 1% of signficance.
