A garden snail traveled 1⁄40 of a mile in 1⁄2 an hour. What was the speed of the snail?

Ratling [72]

1/40 in 30 mins = 2/40 in 1 hour

2/40= 0.05 miles per hour

The standard form of the equation of a parabola is x-y^2+10y+22.what is the vertex form of the equation?

neonofarm [45]

x = y^2 + 10y + 22

Divide 10 by 2 to give 5 which becaoses the second term in the parentheses

x = (y + 5)^2 - 25 + 22

x = (y + 5)^2 - 3 Answer.

Please Help!!

Mrrafil [7]

Harry can rake the leaves in the yard 8 hours faster than his little brother Jimmy can.
If they join to work together they can complete the job in 3 hours. 
1/x + 1/(x - 8) = 1/3 
3(x - 8) + 3x = x(x - 8) 
x^2 - 14x + 24 = 0 
(x - 12)(x - 2) = 0 
Solutions: 
x = 2 
x = 12 
Jimmy can complete the job on his own in 12 hours.

A fair coin is to be tossed 20 times. Find the probability that 10 of the tosses will fall heads and 10 will fall tails, (a) usi

lbvjy [14]

Using the distributions, it is found that there is a:

a) 0.1762 = 17.62% probability that 10 of the tosses will fall heads and 10 will fall tails.

b) 0% probability that 10 of the tosses will fall heads and 10 will fall tails.

c) 0.1742 = 17.42% probability that 10 of the tosses will fall heads and 10 will fall tails.

Item a:

Binomial probability distribution

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.
n is the number of trials.
p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

20 tosses, hence $n = 20$ .
Fair coin, hence $p = 0.5$ .

The probability is P(X = 10), thus:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 10) = C_{20,10}.(0.5)^{10}.(0.5)^{10} = 0.1762$

0.1762 = 17.62% probability that 10 of the tosses will fall heads and 10 will fall tails.

Item b:

In a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.
After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.
The binomial distribution is the probability of x successes on n trials, with p probability of a success on each trial. It can be approximated to the normal distribution with $\mu = np, \sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$ .

The probability of an exact value is 0, hence 0% probability that 10 of the tosses will fall heads and 10 will fall tails.

Item c:

For the approximation, the mean and the standard deviation are:

$\mu = np = 20(0.5) = 10$

$\sigma = \sqrt{np(1 - p)} = \sqrt{20(0.5)(0.5)} = \sqrt{5}$

Using continuity correction, this probability is $P(10 - 0.5 \leq X \leq 10 + 0.5) = P(9.5 \leq X \leq 10.5)$ , which is the p-value of Z when X = 10.5 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 9.5.

X = 10.5:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{10.5 - 10}{\sqrt{5}}$

$Z = 0.22$

$Z = 0.22$ has a p-value of 0.5871.

X = 9.5:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{9.5 - 10}{\sqrt{5}}$

$Z = -0.22$

$Z = -0.22$ has a p-value of 0.4129.

0.5871 - 0.4129 = 0.1742.

0.1742 = 17.42% probability that 10 of the tosses will fall heads and 10 will fall tails.

If the graph of the function f defined by

hoa [83]

Answer:

g(x) = 3x^2 + 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x^2 - 5.

First, the x-intercepts have to be calculated to determine the line of symmetry of f(x). For that, set f(x) = 0. Therefore:

3x^2 - 5 = 0.

x^2 = 5/3

x = 1.29 and x = -1.29. The midpoint of these two x-coordinates will be the line of symmetry, which is x = 0.

Therefore, if the graph is translated vertically upwards, it will move up the y-axis by the given amount. In this question, the amount is 8. Simply add 8 in f(x) to obtain g(x). Therefore:

g(x) = f(x) + 8.

g(x) = 3x^2 - 5 + 8.

g(x) = 3x^2 + 3.

Therefore, g(x) = 3x^2 + 3!!!
