Answer:

Joe: 6

Jim: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe: x

Jim: 2x - 3

x + 2x - 3 = 15

3x - 3 = 15

3x = 18

x = 6

Mr. Wong cuts a coil of wire into two pieces in the ratio of 3:4. The length of the longer piece is 32 centimeters. What is the
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

56 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the lengths of the pieces is 3:4.

The longer piece is 32 cm.

We set up a proportion to find the length of the smaller piece.

Let the length of the smaller piece be x.

3 is to 4 as x is to 32

3/4 = x/32

4x = 3 * 32

4x = 96

x = 24

The smaller piece is 24 cm.

24 cm + 32 cm = 56 cm

3. From the table below, find Prof. Xin expected value of lateness. (5 points) Lateness P(Lateness) On Time 4/5 1 Hour Late 1/10
wariber [46]

Answer:

The expected value of lateness \frac{7}{20} hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution of lateness is as follows:

  Lateness             P (Lateness)

  On Time                     4/5

1 Hour Late                  1/10

2 Hours Late                1/20

3 Hours Late                1/20​

The formula of expected value of a random variable is:

E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)

Compute the expected value of lateness as follows:

E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)

         =(0\times \frac{4}{5})+(1\times \frac{1}{10})+(2\times \frac{1}{20})+(3\times \frac{1}{20})\\\\=0+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{3}{20}\\\\=\frac{2+2+3}{20}\\\\=\frac{7}{20}

Thus, the expected value of lateness \frac{7}{20} hours.

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to estimate the definite integral:

\displaystyle \int_1^47\sqrt{\ln(x)}\, dx

Using the Trapezoidal Rule, Midpoint Rule, and Simpson's Rule with six equal subdivisions.

1)

The trapezoidal rule is given by:

\displaystyle \int_{a}^bf(x)\, dx\approx\frac{\Delta x}{2}\Big(f(x_0)+2f(x_1)+...+2f(x_{n-1})+f(x_n)\Big)

Our limits of integration are from x = 1 to x = 4. With six equal subdivisions, each subdivision will measure:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\frac{4-1}{6}=\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, the trapezoidal approximation is:

\displaystyle =\frac{1/2}{2}\Big(f(1)+2f(1.5)+2f(2)+2f(2.5)+2f(3)+2f(3.5)+2f(4)\Big)

Evaluate:

\displaystyle =\frac{1}{4}(7)(\sqrt{\ln(1)}+2\sqrt{\ln(1.5)}+...+2\sqrt{\ln(3.5)}+\sqrt{\ln(4)})\\\\\approx18.139337

2)

The midpoint rule is given by:

\displaystyle \int_a^bf(x)\, dx\approx\sum_{i=1}^nf\Big(\frac{x_{i-1}+x_i}{2}\Big)\Delta x

Thus:

\displaystyle =\frac{1}{2}\Big(f\Big(\frac{1+1.5}{2}\Big)+f\Big(\frac{1.5+2}{2}\Big)+...+f\Big(\frac{3+3.5}{2}\Big)+f\Big(\frac{3.5+4}{2}\Big)\Big)

Simplify:

\displaystyle =\frac{1}{2}(7)\Big(f(1.25)+f(1.75)+...+f(3.25)+f(3.75)\Big)\\\\ =\frac{1}{2}(7) (\sqrt{\ln(1.25)}+\sqrt{\ln(1.75)}+...+\sqrt{\ln(3.25)}+\sqrt{\ln(3.75)})\\\\\approx 18.767319

3)

Simpson's Rule is given by:

\displaystyle \int_a^b f(x)\, dx\approx\frac{\Delta x}{3}\Big(f(x_0)+4f(x_1)+2f(x_2)+4f(x_3)+...+4f(x_{n-1})+f(x_n)\Big)

So:

\displaystyle =\frac{1/2}{3}\Big((f(1)+4f(1.5)+2f(2)+4f(2.5)+...+4f(3.5)+f(4)\Big)

Simplify:

\displaystyle =\frac{1}{6}(7)(\sqrt{\ln(1)}+4\sqrt{\ln(1.5)}+2\sqrt{\ln(2)}+4\sqrt{\ln(2.5)}+...+4\sqrt{\ln(3.5)}+\sqrt{\ln(4)})\\\\\approx 18.423834
