1. Preliminaries We (the RAF in World War II) want to know the number of warplanes fielded by the Germans. That number is N. The

warplanes have serial numbers from 1 to N, so N is also equal to the largest serial number on any of the warplanes. We only see a small number of serial numbers (assumed to be a random sample with replacement from among all the serial numbers), so we have to use estimation. Question 1.1 Is N a population parameter or a statistic? If we use our random sample to compute a number that is an estimate of N, is that a population parameter or a statistic? Write your answer here, replacing this text. Check your answer with a neighbor or a TA. To make the situation realistic, we're going to hide the true number of warplanes from you. You'll have access only to this random sample:

Answer:

N is a population parameter; the estimate of N is a statistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

A measure of a population is called a parameter.  The population is the entire set we are measuring.  In this problem, N is the total number of warplanes fielded by the Germans.  Since it is the total, it is a population, making it a parameter.

A measure of a sample is a statistic.  This means an estimate of N based on a sample would be a statistic.

1) Suppose a rhombus has 12 cm sides and a 30° angle. Find the distance between the pair of opposite sides.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

1) 6 cm

2) 117°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Draw a picture of the rhombus.  The distance between opposite sides is the height of the rhombus.  If we draw the height at the vertex, we get a right triangle.  Using trigonometry:

sin 30° = h / 12

h = 12 sin 30°

h = 6 cm

2) Draw a picture of the rectangle.

∠KML is the angle the diagonal makes with the shorter side ML.  This angle is 54°.  ∠NKM is the angle the diagonal makes with the shorter side NK.  ∠KML and ∠NKM are alternate interior angles, so m∠NKM = 54°.

The angle bisector of angle ∠NKM divides the angle into two equal parts and intersects the longer side NM at point P.  So m∠PKM = 27°.

KLMN is a rectangle, so it has right angles.  That means ∠KML and ∠KMN are complementary.  So m∠KMN = 36°.

We now know the measures of two angles of triangle KPM.  Since angles of a triangle add up to 180°, we can find the measure of the third angle:

m∠KPM + 36° + 27° = 180°

m∠KPM = 117°

Need help with AP CAL

Answer: Choice C

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\left(1 - \frac{1}{e^2}\right)

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

Explanation:

The graph is shown below. The base of the 3D solid is the blue region. It spans from x = 0 to x = 1. It's also above the x axis, and below the curve y = e^{-x}

Think of the blue region as the floor of this weirdly shaped 3D room.

We're told that the cross sections are perpendicular to the x axis and each cross section is a square. The side length of each square is e^{-x} where 0 < x < 1

Let's compute the area of each general cross section.

\text{area} = (\text{side})^2\\\\\text{area} = (e^{-x})^2\\\\\text{area} = e^{-2x}\\\\

We'll be integrating infinitely many of these infinitely thin square slabs to find the volume of the 3D shape. Think of it like stacking concrete blocks together, except the blocks are side by side (instead of on top of each other). Or you can think of it like a row of square books of varying sizes. The books are very very thin.

This is what we want to compute

\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}e^{-2x}dx\\\\

Apply a u-substitution

u = -2x

du/dx = -2

du = -2dx

dx = du/(-2)

dx = -0.5du

Also, don't forget to change the limits of integration

  • If x = 0, then u = -2x = -2(0) = 0
  • If x = 1, then u = -2x = -2(1) = -2

This means,

\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}e^{-2x}dx = \int_{0}^{-2}e^{u}(-0.5du) = 0.5\int_{-2}^{0}e^{u}du\\\\\\

I used the rule that \displaystyle \int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx = -\int_{b}^{a}f(x)dx which says swapping the limits of integration will have us swap the sign out front.

--------

Furthermore,

\displaystyle 0.5\int_{-2}^{0}e^{u}du = \frac{1}{2}\left[e^u+C\right]_{-2}^{0}\\\\\\= \frac{1}{2}\left[(e^0+C)-(e^{-2}+C)\right]\\\\\\= \frac{1}{2}\left[1 - \frac{1}{e^2}\right]

In short,

\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}e^{-2x}dx = \frac{1}{2}\left[1 - \frac{1}{e^2}\right]

This points us to choice C as the final answer.

A ball is dropped from a height of 10 meters. Each time it bounces, it reaches 50 percent of its previous height. The total vert
xz_007 [3.2K]
After every drop,the ball bounces to half it's previous height. With that understood.

1st drop -The ball drops 10m

1st bounce - 5m up
2nd drop - 5m down

2nd bounce - 2.5m up
3rd drop - 2.5m down

3rd bounce - 1.25m up
4th drop - 1.25m down

4th bounce - 0.625m up
5th/last drop - 0.625m down

To find the total vertical distance, you add them all.

10+5+5+2.5+2.5+1.25+1.25+0.625+0.625
=29.25m travelled in all.
