A study conducted on 40,000 words in the English language found that about 6,670 words started with the letter T, which is the m

ost common letter to start a word. If we randomly pick 20 unique words, which of these lists of words will come closest to the theoretical probability of getting a word beginning with T?

Answer: Hi so your total samples are 40000 and 6670 start with T, so if we pick a random word of that 40000 we will have a 6670/40000 = 0.167 (or 16.7%) probability of picking one that starts with T.

So if i pick a list with 20 unique words and i want that have  the closest possible probability of getting a word starting with T as the one i had before, then:

if x are the total of words that start with t in our sample of 20 words.

then x/20 = 0.167 so x= 0.167*20 = 3.34

So the list with the closest possibility will be the list that has 3 words that start with T.

To reverse a percentage decrease you divide it by the decrease (+ 100%)
For example we will pick the number, 100, which is decreased by 15% to 85.

To make 85 back to 100 we divide it by the decrease (1-0.15):
85 / 0.85 = 100

To find out how much 85 increased to get back to 100, we do:
15 / 85 = 0.1765 = %17.65

15 is the reduction/difference, and 85 is the with reduction total.

Because percentages stay the same, this is applicable to any numbers, from this, we know that whenever something is reduced by 15% - when restored to it's original is increased by %17.65

The answer is %17.65

) Set up a double integral for calculating the flux of F=3xi+yj+zk through the part of the surface z=−5x−2y+2 above the triangle
Fynjy0 [20]

The surface (call it S) is a triangle with vertices at the points

x=0,y=0\implies z=2\implies(0,0,2)

x=0,y=2\implies z=-2\implies(0,2,-2)

x=2,y=0\implies z=-8\implies(2,0,-8)

Parameterize S by

\vec s(u,v)=(1-v)(2,0,-8)+v\bigg((1-u)(0,2,-2)+u(0,0,2)\bigg)=(2-2v,2v-2uv,-8+6v+4uv)

with 0\le u\le1 and 0\le v\le1. Take the normal vector to S to be

\vec s_v\times\vec s_u=(20v,8v,4v)

Then the flux of \vec F across S is

\displaystyle\iint_S\vec F(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\int_0^1\int_0^1\vec F(x(u,v),y(u,v),z(u,v))\cdot(\vec s_v\times\vec s_u)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

=\displaystyle\int_0^1\int_0^1(6-6v,2v-2uv,-8+6v+4uv)\cdot(20v,8v,4v)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

=\displaystyle8\int_0^1\int_0^1(11v-10v^2)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=\boxed{\frac{52}3}

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$30,600

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hectare = 10,000 m^2

0.36 hectare = 0.36 * 10000 m^2 = 3600 m^2

She pays $8.50 per square meter. Thus, the total cost is:

3600 * 8.50 = \$30,600

Answer: $30,600
