To the nearest tenth, find the perimeter of ABC with vertices A (-2,-2) B (0,5) and C (3,1)

Pavlova-9 [17]

the perimeter will then just be the sum of the distances of A, B and C, namely AB + BC + CA.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\A(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquadB(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5})\qquad \qquadd = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}\\\\\\AB=\sqrt{[0-(-2)]^2+[5-(-2)]^2}\implies AB=\sqrt{(0+2)^2+(5+2)^2}\\\\\\AB=\sqrt{4+49}\implies \boxed{AB=\sqrt{53}}\\\\[-0.35em]\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\B(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\\\\\\BC=\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(1-5)^2}\implies BC=\sqrt{3^2+(-4)^2}$

(43 points) In the US, 85% of the population has Rh positive blood. Suppose we take a random sample of 6 persons and let Y denot

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

a) Binomial distribution with parameters p=0.85 q=0.15 n=6

b) 62.29%

c) 2.38%

d) See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

We could model this situation with a binomial distribution

$P(6;k)=\binom{6}{k}p^kq^{6-k}$

where P(6;k) is the probability of finding exactly k people out of 6 with Rh positive, p is the probability of finding one person with Rh positive and q=(1-p) the probability of finding a person with no Rh.

$\bf P(Y=k)=\binom{6}{k}(0.85)^k(0.15)^{6-k}$

The probability that Y is less than 6 is

P(Y=0)+P(Y=1)+...+P(Y=5)

Let's compute each of these terms

$P(Y=0)=P(6;0)=\binom{6}{0}(0.85)^0(0.15)^{6}=1.139*10^{-5}$

$P(Y=1)=P(6;1)=\binom{6}{1}(0.85)^1(0.15)^{5}=0.0000387281$

$P(Y=2)=P(6;2)=\binom{6}{2}(0.85)^2(0.15)^{4}=0.005486484$

$P(Y=3)=P(6;3)=\binom{6}{3}(0.85)^3(0.15)^{3}=0.041453438$

$P(Y=4)=P(6;4)=\binom{6}{4}(0.85)^4(0.15)^{2}=0.176177109$

$P(Y=5)=P(6;5)=\binom{6}{5}(0.85)^5(0.15)^{1}=0.399334781$

and adding up these values we have that the probability that Y is less than 6 is

$\sum_{i=1}^{5}P(Y=i)=0.622850484\approx 0.6229=62.29\%$

In this case is a binomial distribution with n=200 instead of 6.

p and q remain the same.

The mean of this sample would be 85% of 200 = 170.

In a binomial distribution, the standard deviation is

$s = \sqrt{npq}$

In this case

$\sqrt{200(0.85)(0.15)}=5.05$

Let's approximate the distribution with a normal distribution with mean 170 and standard deviation 5.05

So, the approximate probability that there are fewer than 160 persons with Rh positive blood in a sample of 200 would be the area under the normal curve to the left of 160

(see picture attached)

We can compute that area with a computer and find it is

0.0238 or 2.38%

d) In order to approximate a binomial distribution with a normal distribution we need a large sample like the one taken in c).

In general, we can do this if the sample of size n the following inequalities hold:

$np\geq 5 \;and\;nq \geq 5$

in our case np = 200*0.85 = 170 and nq = 200*0.15 = 30

3x+6y = 27 x + 2y = 11 Solve by elimination

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:go0gle

gle come in clutch

Step-by-step explanation:

Next, let's solve 3x+2y = 10 for the variable y. Move the 3x to the right hand side by subtracting 3x from both sides, like this: 3x - 3x = 0. The answer is 2y. The answer is 10-3x.

Lisa ran around a rectangular field 150 m long and 50 m wide at an average speed of 100 m/min. How long did she take to complete

Anarel [89]

Answer:

20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To make one round of the field, Lisa will have to cover the entire perimeter of the field.

The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w) Where L = length and W = width.

The multiplication of 2 means two lengths and widths that each rectangle has. The perimeter of the field = 2(150 +50) = 400m

Lisa's average running speed = 100m/min

The time taken to cover one round of the field or one perimeter of the field = 400/100 = 4 minutes.

To cover 5 rounds or 5 perimeters Lisa will take 5x4 minutes = 20 minutes.
