Determine which function has the greatest rate of change as x approaches infinity

Find the slope that is PARALLEL and PERPENDICULAR to the equation of the line y = -1/2x+6.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

parallel: -1/2

perpendicular: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

lines that are parallel have the same slope because they never intersect

lines that perpendicular, have the opposite reciprocal slope.

y = mx + b

where m is the slope

y = -1/2x + 6

-1/2 is the slope.

the slope in the equation given: -1/2

the slope parallel to the line given : -1/2

the slope perpendicular : opposite reciprocal, so the opposite of -1/2 is 1/2 and the reciprocal of 1/2 is 2.

The inside diameter of a randomly selected piston ring is a random variable with mean value 8 cm and standard deviation 0.03 cm.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

a) P(7.99 ≤ X ≤ 8.01) = 0.8164

b) P(X ≥ 8.01) = 0.0475.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 8, \sigma = 0.03$

(a) Calculate P(7.99 ≤ X ≤ 8.01) when n = 16.

n = 16, so $s = \frac{0.03}{4} = 0.0075$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 8.01 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 7.99. So

X = 8.01

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

Applying the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{8.01 - 8}{0.0075}$

$Z = 1.33$

$Z = 1.33$ has a pvalue of 0.9082

X = 7.99

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

$Z = \frac{7.99 - 8}{0.0075}$

$Z = -1.33$

$Z = -1.33$ has a pvalue of 0.0918

0.9082 - 0.0918 = 0.8164

P(7.99 ≤ X ≤ 8.01) = 0.8164

(b) How likely is it that the sample mean diameter exceeds 8.01 when n = 25? P(X ≥ 8.01) =

n = 25, so $s = \frac{0.03}{5} = 0.006$

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 8.01. So

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

$Z = \frac{8.01 - 8}{0.006}$

$Z = 1.67$

$Z = 1.67$ has a pvalue of 0.9525

1 - 0.9525 = 0.0475

P(X ≥ 8.01) = 0.0475.

A total of 12 players consisting 6 male and 6 female badminton players are attending a training camp

abruzzese [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

"A total of 12 players consisting 6 male and 6 female badminton players are attending a training camp."

"(a) During a morning activity of the camp, these 12 players have to randomly group into six pairs of two players each."

"(i) Find the total number of possible ways that these six pairs can be formed."

The order doesn't matter (AB is the same as BA), so use combinations.

For the first pair, there are ₁₂C₂ ways to choose 2 people from 12.

For the second pair, there are ₁₀C₂ ways to choose 2 people from 10.

So on and so forth. The total number of combinations is:

₁₂C₂ × ₁₀C₂ × ₈C₂ × ₆C₂ × ₄C₂ × ₂C₂

= 66 × 45 × 28 × 15 × 6 × 1

= 7,484,400

"(ii) Find the probability that each pair contains players of the same gender only. Correct your final answer to 4 decimal places."

We need to find the number of ways that 6 boys can be grouped into 3 pairs. Using the same logic as before:

₆C₂ × ₄C₂ × ₂C₂

= 15 × 6 × 1

= 90

There are 90 ways that 6 boys can be grouped into 3 pairs, which means there's also 90 ways that 6 girls can be grouped into 3 pairs. So the probability is:

90 × 90 / 7,484,400

= 1 / 924

≈ 0.0011

"(b) During an afternoon activity of the camp, 6 players are randomly selected and 6 one-on-one matches with the coach are to be scheduled.

(i) How many different schedules are possible?"

There are ₁₂C₆ ways that 6 players can be selected from 12. From there, each possible schedule has a different order of players, so we need to use permutations.

There are 6 options for the first match. After that, there are 5 options for the second match. Then 4 options for the third match. So on and so forth. So the number of permutations is 6!.

The total number of possible schedules is:

₁₂C₆ × 6!

= 924 × 720

= 665,280

"(ii) Find the probability that the number of selected male players is higher than that of female players given that at most 4 females were selected. Correct your final answer to 4 decimal places."

If at most 4 girls are selected, that means there's either 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 girls.

If 0 girls are selected, the number of combinations is:

₆C₆ × ₆C₀ = 1 × 1 = 1

If 1 girl is selected, the number of combinations is:

₆C₅ × ₆C₁ = 6 × 6 = 36

If 2 girls are selected, the number of combinations is:

₆C₄ × ₆C₂ = 15 × 15 = 225

If 3 girls are selected, the number of combinations is:

₆C₃ × ₆C₃ = 20 × 20 = 400

If 4 girls are selected, the number of combinations is:

₆C₂ × ₆C₄ = 15 × 15 = 225

The probability that there are more boys than girls is:

(1 + 36 + 225) / (1 + 36 + 225 + 400 + 225)

= 262 / 887

≈ 0.2954

Elevations above sea level are given as positive values, while elevations below sea level are given as negative values. Tina is

UkoKoshka [18]

|-80|=80

|x| -≥ this symbol is named as mod

we use this to find the absolute value...

it can be explained easily as meaning like rounding off

I'm that even the number given inside in negative we should write the answer only in positive

negative number can never be the answer of absolute value

hope helpful

the price of a dress is $40.00. it went to sale at a discount of 25%. if the sales tax is 6% what is the final cost of the dress

Delvig [45]

So first you figure out what 25% of $40.00 is whitch would be $30.00. Then what i think you would do next is add 6% of the cost of the dress. 6% of $30.00 is $1.80. so $30.00 + $1.80 = $31.80 dollors for the dress.
