If a=4b^2 and b=-1/2e^2, what is the value of a to the nearest tenth?

1 answer:

3 0

To answer, it is assumed that e here is the Euler number which is equal to 2.718. Substitute this value to the e of the second equation to get the value of b.
b = 0.5(2.718^2) = 3.6945
Then, we substitute this value to the first equation to get the value of a.
a = 4(3.6945^2) = 54.498
Thus, the answer is approximately equal to 54.5.

Answer:

a) The probability that at least 5 ties are too tight is P=0.0432.

b) The probability that at most 12 ties are too tight is P=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we could represent the proabilities of this events with the Binomial distirbution, with parameter p=0.1 and sample size n=20.

a) We can express the probability that at least 5 ties are too tight as:

$P(x\geq5)=1-\sum\limits^4_{k=0} {\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} p^k(1-p)^{n-k}}\\\\P(x\geq5)=1-(0.1216+0.2702+0.2852+0.1901+0.0898)\\\\P(x\geq5)=1-0.9568=0.0432$

The probability that at least 5 ties are too tight is P=0.0432.

a) We can express the probability that at most 12 ties are too tight as:

$P(x\leq 12)=\sum\limits^{12}_{k=0} {\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} p^k(1-p)^{n-k}}\\\\P(x\leq 12)=0.1216+0.2702+0.2852+0.1901+0.0898+0.0319+0.0089+0.0020+0.0004+0.0001+0.0000+0.0000+0.0000\\\\P(x\leq 12)=1$

The probability that at most 12 ties are too tight is P=1.

Mr. Vella can build a brick wall in 4 days. His apprentice can build the same wall in 6 days. After working alone for 3 days, Mr

Vitek1552 [10]

Mr. Vella can build the wall in 4 days, however only works on it for 3 days. That means that he has completed 75% of the and is leaving 25% for his apprentice.

We need to figure out how long it takes the apprentice to build 25% of a wall. We know he can build 100% of a wall in 6 days, so dividing 6 days by 4 will give us our answer.

6/4 = 3/2 = 1.5 days

It took the apprentice 1.5 days to finish the wall.
