so a whole is same/same, in this context is 4/4 = 1, or four fourths.


now, we know 1/4 failed, that means 4/4 - 1/4 = 3/4 didn't fail, so 3/4 passed.


from that remaining 3/4, how many got an A? well 1/3, how much is 1/3 of 3/4? well is just their product,    \bf \cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{3}{4}\implies \cfrac{1}{4}.


so 1/4 of the remaining 3/4 got an A, that means 3/4 of the remaining 3/4 did NOT get an A.


how much is 3/4 of 3/4? well, is just their product.


\bf \cfrac{3}{4}\cdot \cfrac{3}{4}\implies \cfrac{9}{16}\impliedby \textit{passed with score less than A}

What is the slope of the line? 3x-4y=73x−4y=7
Andrei [34K]
To find the slope, we put this in y = mx + b form where m is ur slope.

3x - 4y = 7.....subtract 3x from both sides
-4y = -3x + 7 ...now we divide both sides by -4
(-4/-4)y = (-3/-4)x + (-7/4)...simplify
y = 3/4x - 7/4

y = mx + b
y = 3/4x - 7/4.....so the number in the m position is 3/4 <== ur slope

Suppose a shipment of 400 components contains 68 defective and 332 non-defective computer components . From the shipment you tak
Alona [7]

Answer:

The standard deviation for the number of defective parts in the sample is 1.88.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample is with replacement, which means that the trials are independent, and thus, the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.  

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

68 defective out of 400:

This means that p = \frac{68}{400} = 0.17

From the shipment you take a random sample of 25.

This means that n = 25

Standard deviation for the number of defective parts in the sample:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{25*0.17*0.83} = 1.88

The standard deviation for the number of defective parts in the sample is 1.88.

4. Mr. Ramos invests $600 at a simple interest rate of 6%. How much interest will he earn in one year?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

$36 if it's an annual rate. If it's a monthly rate it's $432

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's such a high interest rate to pay, I think the logical rate would be annually because that's a lot of money for a bank to give

use the information provided to write the standard form equation of each hyperbola vertices:(4,14), (4,-10) foci: (4,15), (4,-11
Evgen [1.6K]
So... if you notice the picture below, based on the given vertices, is a hyperbola with a vertical traverse axis

meaning for the equation, the fraction with the "y" variable is the positive fraction, thus \bf \cfrac{(y-{{ k}})^2}{{{ a}}^2}-\cfrac{(x-{{ h}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1

so... what' the point h,k for the center?  well, just take a peek at the graph, the center is half-way between both vertices, that's h,k

what's the "a" component or the traverse axis... well, is the distance from one vertex to the center, notice the picture, notice how many units from either vertex to the center, that's "a"

now.. what's "b"?  well, "b" comes from the conjugate axis, or the other runnning over the x-axis   hmm the smaller one in this case.... well, we dunno what "b" is

however, we know the distance from either focus, to the center of the hyperbola, and that distance "c", is  \bf c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}

notice the picture, notice the distance from either focus to the center, that's the distance "c", thus  \bf c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\implies c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b

that'd be "b"

bearing in mind that   \bf \cfrac{(y-{{ k}})^2}{{{ a}}^2}-\cfrac{(x-{{ h}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1&#10;\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;center= ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\ b=\sqrt{c^2-a^2}&#10;\end{cases}
