Answer:

0.95 = 95% probability that a randomly selected student at this university recycles at least some of the time

Step-by-step explanation:

For a randomly selected student, we have these following probabilities:

0.55 probability that they always recicle.

0.25 probability that they usually recicle.

0.15 probability that they recicle only when it's convenient.

0.05 probability that they never recicle.

What is the probability that a randomly selected student at this university recycles at least some of the time?

Always, usually or only when it's convenient.

0.55 + 0.25 + 0.15 = 0.95

0.95 = 95% probability that a randomly selected student at this university recycles at least some of the time

Over a 24-hour period, the tide in a harbor can be modeled by one period of a sinusoidal function. The tide measures 4.35 ft at

netineya [11]

Answer:

f(x) = 4.35 +3.95·sin(πx/12)

Step-by-step explanation:

For problems of this sort, a sine function is used that is of the form ...

f(x) = A + Bsin(2πx/P)

where A is the average or middle value of the oscillation, B is the one-sided amplitude, P is the period in the same units as x.

It is rare that a tide function has a period (P) of 24 hours, but we'll use that value since the problem statement requires it. The value of A is the middle value of the oscillation, 4.35 ft in this problem. The value of B is the amplitude, given as 8.3 ft -4.35 ft = 3.95 ft. Putting these values into the form gives ...

f(x) = 4.35 + 3.95·sin(2πx/24)

The argument of the sine function can be simplified to πx/12, as in the Answer, above.

What is the distance between points <br> (9, −7)<br> and <br> (9, 4)<br> on a coordinate plane?

Alekssandra [29.7K]

The answer would be 11 because the x's 9 doesnt have to move because they're on the same point. If you take 7 away from -7 you get zero. Add 4 to that 7 and you get 11. Make sesnse?
Hope this helped!

The height h(n) of a bouncing ball is an exponential function of the number n of bounces.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

The height of a bouncing ball is defined by $h(n) = 6\cdot \left(\frac{4}{6} \right)^{n-1}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this statement, we need to derive the expression of the height of a bouncing ball, that is, a function of the number of bounces. The exponential expression of the bouncing ball is of the form:

$h = h_{o}\cdot r^{n-1}$ , $n \in \mathbb{N}$ , $0 < r < 1$ (1)

Where:

$h_{o}$ - Height reached by the ball on the first bounce, measured in feet.

$r$ - Decrease rate, no unit.

$n$ - Number of bounces, no unit.

$h$ - Height reached by the ball on the n-th bounce, measured in feet.

The decrease rate is the ratio between heights of two consecutive bounces, that is:

$r = \frac{h_{1}}{h_{o}}$ (2)

Where $h_{1}$ is the height reached by the ball on the second bounce, measured in feet.

If we know that $h_{o} = 6\,ft$ and $h_{1} = 4\,ft$ , then the expression for the height of the bouncing ball is:

$h(n) = 6\cdot \left(\frac{4}{6} \right)^{n-1}$

The height of a bouncing ball is defined by $h(n) = 6\cdot \left(\frac{4}{6} \right)^{n-1}$ .
