Nizar was computing a Statistics problem asking for the probability of Event A. His answer was 1.36 Using your knowledge of prob

ability, why should Nizar have known that his answer was NOT correct and gone back to review his calculations?

Probability measures the likelihood that an event will occur. In this regard, it was right to use probability to establish if event A will occur or not. However, probability is normally quantified between 0 and 1 or between 0% and 100%. In this case, 0 (or 0%) is a measure of impossibility that an event will occur while 1 or (100%) is a measure that the event will occur.

In the current case, 1.36 violates this basic rule as it is more than 1 or the % sign may be missing. In this case, the Nizar should repeat the calculation taking into consideration any mathematical signs.

if “line m” has no y-intercept and it’s x-intercept is (3,0), and “line n” has no x-intercept and its y-intercept is (0,-4), wha
tatuchka [14]

Answer

• Line m: x = 3

,

• Line n: y = –4

Explanation

If a line has no y-intercept, it means it must be parallel to the y - axis. Thus, it is a vertical line that will only cross the x-axis once (in this case).

As we are given that the x-intercept is (3,0), then the equation of line m is:

x=3

Following the same logic, if a line has no x-intercept, it will be parallel to the x-axis and it will be a vertical line.

As we are given that the y-intercept is (0,-4), then the equation of line n is:

y=-4

You are traveling down a country road at a rate of 95 feet/sec when you see a large cow 300 feet in front of you and directly in
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

1) You can rely solely on your brakes because when doing so the car will just travel 250ft from the point you hit your brakes till the point the car stopped completely, leaving you 50ft away from the cow.

2) See attached picture.

j(t) represents the distance from the point you hit the brake t seconds after you hit it in feet

j'(t) represents the velocity of the car t seconds after the brakes have been hit in ft/s.

j"(t) represents the acceleration of the car t seconds after the brakes have been hit in ft/s^{2}

3) yes, any time after t=5.28 will not accurately model the path of the car since at that exact time the car will reach a velocity of 0ft/s and unless another force is applied to the car, then the car will not move after that time.

4) j(t)=\left \{ {{95t-9t^{2}; 0\le t

j'(t)=\left \{ {{95-18t; 0\leq t

(see attached picture for graph)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) In this part of the problem we need to find the time when the speed of the car is 0. Gets to a complete stop. For this we will need to take the derivative of the position function so we get:

j(t)=95t-9t^2

j'(t)=95-18t

and we set the first derivative equal to zero so we get:

95-18t=0

and solve for t

-18t=-95

t=\frac{95}{18}

t=5.28s

so now we calculate the position of the car after 5.28 seconds, so we get:

j(5.28)=95(5.28)-9(5.28)^{2}

j(5.28)=250.69ft

so we have that the car will stop 250.69ft after he hit the brakes, so there will be about 50ft between the car and the cow when the car stops completely, so he can rely just on the breaks.

2) For answer 2 I take the second derivative of the function so I get:

j(t)=95t-9t^{2}

j'(t)=95-18t

j"(t)=-18

and then we graph them. (See attached picture)

j(t) represents the distance from the point you hit the brake t seconds after you hit it in feet

j'(t) represents the velocity of the car t seconds after the brakes have been hit in ft/s.

j"(t) represents the acceleration of the car t seconds after the brakes have been hit in ft/s^{2}

3)  yes, any time after t=5.28 will not accurately model the path of the car since at that exact time the car will reach a velocity of 0ft/s and unless another force is applied to the car, then the car will not move after that time.

4) j(t)=\left \{ {{95t-9t^{2}; 0\le t

j'(t)=\left \{ {{95-18t; 0\leq t

A rectangle and a triangle have the same area, 72 . The height of the triangle is also the same as the width of the rectangle. T
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Part 1) The height of triangle is h=8\ in

Part 2) The width of rectangle is W=8\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the dimensions of triangle

The area of triangle is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}bh

we have

b=18\ in

A=72\ in^{2}

substitute and solve for h

72=\frac{1}{2}(18)h

144=(18)h

h=144/18=8\ in

step 2

Find the missing dimension of rectangle

we have that

The height of the triangle is the same as the width of the rectangle

therefore

W=h=8\ in

"Suppose we are testing the null hypothesis H0: = 20 and the alternative Ha: 20, for a Normal population with = 5. A random samp
mezya [45]

Complete question is;

Suppose we are testing the null hypothesis H0: μ = 20 and the alternative Ha: μ ≠ 20, for a normal population with σ = 5. A random sample of 25 observations are drawn from the population, and we find the sample mean of these observations is x¯ = 17.6. The P-value is closest to:

a. 0.0668.

b. 0.0082.

c. 0.0164.

d. 0.1336

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Null hypothesis; H0: μ = 20

Alternative hypothesis; Ha: μ ≠ 20

Population Standard deviation; σ = 5

Sample size; n = 25

Sample mean; x¯ = 17.6

Let's find the z-score from the formula;

z = (x¯ - μ)/(σ/√n)

z = (17.6 - 20)/(5/√5)

z = - 1.073

From online p-value from z-score calculator attached, using z = -1.073; two tailed hypothesis; significance value of 0.05,we have;

The P-Value is 0.283271.

Looking at the given options, the closest to the p-value is option D

What is 8b2 - 8 factored?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

8 • (b + 1) • (b - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "b2"   was replaced by   "b^2".

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 23b2 -  8

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  8b2 - 8  =   8 • (b2 - 1)

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :

3.2      Factoring:  b2 - 1

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =

        A2 - AB + BA - B2 =

        A2 - AB + AB - B2 =

        A2 - B2

Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : 1 is the square of 1

Check :  b2  is the square of  b1

Factorization is :       (b + 1)  •  (b - 1)

Final result :

 8 • (b + 1) • (b - 1)
