Answer:

So the temperature at 4:00 pm which is exactly 4 hours from 12 noon is -3/2°c

T = To + (-3/2°c)x

Where x is the fraction of 4 in hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Its a very simple Expression.

First we consider the first temperature at first time which is 0°c at 12 noon which I initial time, i.e t= 0.

For every four hour change , the temperature adds -3/2°c .

So the temperature at 4:00 pm which is exactly 4 hours from 12 noon is -3/2°c

The expression to know the temperature is

T = To + (-3/2°c)x

Where x is the fraction of 4 in hours

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a study was conducted to find out if a new exercise program was more effective than an old one at improving cardiovascular fitness.

Subjects were randomly selected to participate and then randomly assigned to one of the two programs. After six months of exercising, they were given a score based on their fitness performance. Scores ranged from 19 to 73, with higher scores indicating higher performance.

Here there are two groups one for each program. After recording the scores groupwise, mean, std deviation of each group to be calculated.

Then independent sample test (option B) to be done.

Paired data set is not right because same person cannot be in two programs.

Here proportion is not recorded so D is wrong. Since variance is not checked anova is not right. Independence is not checked so E is wrong. Regression is wrong because there is no estimate for regression line here

B) is right.

Suppose that only 20% of all drivers come to a complete stop at an intersection having flashing red lights in all directions whe

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

a) 91.33% probability that at most 6 will come to a complete stop

b) 10.91% probability that exactly 6 will come to a complete stop.

c) 19.58% probability that at least 6 will come to a complete stop

d) 4 of the next 20 drivers do you expect to come to a complete stop

Step-by-step explanation:

For each driver, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will come to a complete stop, or they will not. The probability of a driver coming to a complete stop is independent of other drivers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

20% of all drivers come to a complete stop at an intersection having flashing red lights in all directions when no other cars are visible.

This means that $p = 0.2$

20 drivers

This means that $n = 20$

a. at most 6 will come to a complete stop?

$P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

In which

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{20} = 0.0115$

$P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{19} = 0.0576$

$P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{18} = 0.1369$

$P(X = 3) = C_{20,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{17} = 0.2054$

$P(X = 4) = C_{20,4}.(0.2)^{4}.(0.8)^{16} = 0.2182$

$P(X = 5) = C_{20,5}.(0.2)^{5}.(0.8)^{15} = 0.1746$

$P(X = 6) = C_{20,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{14} = 0.1091$

$P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.0115 + 0.0576 + 0.1369 + 0.2054 + 0.2182 + 0.1746 + 0.1091 = 0.9133$

91.33% probability that at most 6 will come to a complete stop

b. Exactly 6 will come to a complete stop?

$P(X = 6) = C_{20,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{14} = 0.1091$

10.91% probability that exactly 6 will come to a complete stop.

c. At least 6 will come to a complete stop?

Either less than 6 will come to a complete stop, or at least 6 will. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X < 6) + P(X \geq 6) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 6)$ . So

$P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6)$

In which

$P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.0115 + 0.0576 + 0.1369 + 0.2054 + 0.2182 + 0.1746 = 0.8042$

$P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6) = 1 - 0.8042 = 0.1958$

19.58% probability that at least 6 will come to a complete stop

d. How many of the next 20 drivers do you expect to come to a complete stop?

The expected value of the binomial distribution is

$E(X) = np = 20*0.2 = 4$

4 of the next 20 drivers do you expect to come to a complete stop

A square garden plot has an area of 75 ft^2. Find the length of each side in simplest radical form. Calculate the length of each

Zinaida [17]

Hello.

The area of a square is calculated by the formula:

A = l²

As A = 75 ft², we have:

75 = l²

l = √75

Now, note that: 75 = 3 . 25 = 3 . 5²

So:

l = √(3 . 5²) = √3 . √(5²)

<u>l = 5√3 ft</u>

Now, we can assume √3 = 1.73

l ≈ 5 * 1.732

l ≈ 8,7 ft (Note that I have already put it in the nearest tenth)

OK :)
