Answer:

(a) 0.28347

(b) 0.36909

(c) 0.0039

(d) 0.9806

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

n=12

p = 20% = 0.2

q = 1-p = 1-0.2 = 0.8

Binomial formula:

P(x=r)=^nC_rp^rq^{n-r}

(a) Exactly two will be drunken drivers.

P(x=2)=^{12}C_{2}(0.2)^{2}(0.8)^{12-2}

P(x=2)=66(0.2)^{2}(0.8)^{10}

P(x=2)=\approx 0.28347

Therefore, the probability that exactly two will be drunken drivers is 0.28347.

(b)Three or four will be drunken drivers.

P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=P(x=3)\cup P(x=4)

P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=P(x=3)+P(x=4)

Using binomial we get

P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=^{12}C_{3}(0.2)^{3}(0.8)^{12-3}+^{12}C_{4}(0.2)^{4}(0.8)^{12-4}

P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=0.236223+0.132876

P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)\approx 0.369099

Therefore, the probability that three or four will be drunken drivers is 0.3691.

(c)

At least 7 will be drunken drivers.

P(x\geq 7)=1-P(x

P(x\leq 7)=1-[P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)+P(x=5)+P(x=6)]

P(x\leq 7)=1-[0.06872+0.20616+0.28347+0.23622+0.13288+0.05315+0.0155]

P(x\leq 7)=1-[0.9961]

P(x\leq 7)=0.0039

Therefore, the probability of at least 7 will be drunken drivers is 0.0039.

(d) At most 5 will be drunken drivers.

P(x\leq 5)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)+P(x=5)

P(x\leq 5)=0.06872+0.20616+0.28347+0.23622+0.13288+0.05315

P(x\leq 5)=0.9806

Therefore, the probability of at most 5 will be drunken drivers is 0.9806.

To the nearest tenth, what is the perimeter of the triangle with vertices at (−2, 3), (3, 6), and (2, −2)?
katovenus [111]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  20.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula can be used to find the side lengths.

  d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

For the first two points, ...

  d = √((3 -(-2))^2 +(6 -3)^2) = √(5^2 +3^2) = √34 ≈ 5.83

For the next two points, ...

  d = √((2 -3)^2 +(-2-6)^2) = √(1 +64) = √65 ≈ 8.06

For the last and first points, ...

  d = √((-2-2)^2 +(3-(-2)^2) = √(16 +25) = √41 ≈ 6.40

Then the sum of the side lengths is ...

  5.83 +8.06 +6.40 = 20.29 ≈ 20.3

The perimeter of the triangle is about 20.3 units.

Identify the coordinates of the vertices of each figure after the similarity transformation.
bija089 [108]

Answer:

After translation:

Translation: (x, y)  →  (x-6, y-8)

W'X'Y'Z' = W'(-10, 0), X'(-10, -8), Y'(-18, -4), Z'(-14, 8)

After dilation:

Dilation: (x, y)  →  (2x, 2y), centered at (0, 0)

W''X''Y''Z'' = W'' (-20, 0), X'' (-8, 0) , Y'' (-24, 8), Z'' (-16, 32)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertices of the Quadrilateral WXYZ

  • W(-4, 8)
  • X(-4, 0)
  • Y(-12, 4)
  • Z(-8, 16)

As the rule of translation is given by

Translation: (x, y)  →  (x-6, y-8)

So, after the translation the vertices of Quadrilateral WXYZ will be translated as:

W(-4, 8)  →  (x-6, y-8) ⇒ (-4-6, 8-8) = W'(-10, 0)

X(-4, 0)  →  (x-6, y-8) ⇒ (-4-6, 0-8) = X'(-10, -8)

Y(-12, 4)  →  (x-6, y-8) ⇒ (-12-6, 4-8) = Y'(-18, -4)

Z(-8, 16)  →  (x-6, y-8) ⇒ (-8-6, 16-8) = Z'(-14, 8)

Therefore,

W'X'Y'Z' = W'(-10, 0), X'(-10, -8), Y'(-18, -4), Z'(-14, 8)

Next, the rule of dilation is given by

Dilation: (x, y)  →  (2x, 2y), centered at (0, 0)

W'(-10, 0)  →  (2x, 2y) ⇒ (2(-10), 2(0)) = W'' (-20, 0)  

X'(-4, 0)  →  (2x, 2y) ⇒ (2(-4), 2(0)) = X'' (-8, 0)

Y'(-12, 4)  →  (2x, 2y) ⇒ (2(-12), 2(4)) = Y'' (-24, 8)

Z'(-8, 16)  →  (2x, 2y) ⇒ (2(-8), 2(16)) = Z'' (-16, 32)

Therefore,

W''X''Y''Z'' = W'' (-20, 0), X'' (-8, 0) , Y'' (-24, 8), Z'' (-16, 32)

If $8700 is invested at 3% annual simple interest, how much should be invested at 6% annual simple interest so that the total ye
True [87]
First off, see  how much 8700 as principal, yields at 3% APR
that is \bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\
I = Prt\qquad 
\begin{cases}
I=\textit{interest earned}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$8700\\
r=rate\to 3\%\to \frac{3}{100}\to &0.03\\
t=years\to &1
\end{cases}

it will yield some amount

subtract that amount from 393
the difference is how much the yield will be on the 6% investment
so

\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\
I = Prt\quad 
\begin{cases}
I=\textit{interest earned}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$8700\\
r=rate\to 3\%\to \frac{3}{100}\to &0.03\\
t=years\to &1
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\implies \boxed{?}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{how much to invest at 6\%?}
\\\\\\


\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\
(393-\boxed{?}) = Prt\quad 
\begin{cases}
I=\textit{interest earned}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$\\
r=rate\to 6\%\to \frac{6}{100}\to &0.06\\
t=years\to &1
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\textit{solve for "P", to see how much should the Principal be}\\\\
\textit{keep in mind that }P+\boxed{?}=393\leftarrow \textit{both yields added}
