Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(-3) = 3(-3)^3 + 5 = 3(-27) + 5 = -81 + 5 = -76

g(4) = -4(4) - 1 = -16 - 1 = -17

A scientist finds the distances d that two snakes travel in a time of t seconds. the equation 16t = d represents the relationshi

wlad13 [49]

From the equation given, the time for the black mamba snake to cover distance d, will be d/16 while that for the the rought-scaled snake would be d/1.5.
Assume that the distance covered by both snakes is 200 meters;
Then,
Time taken by the black mamba is 200/16 = 12.5 seconds, and
Time taken by the rought-scaled snake is 200/1.5 = 133.33 seconds
Clearly the black mamba is faster at 12.5 seconds compared with the rought-scaled snake.

The probability that your call to a service line is answered in less than 30 seconds is 0.75. Assume that your calls are indepen

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

a) 0.2581

b) 0.4148

c) 17

Step-by-step explanation:

For each call, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are answered in less than 30 seconds. Or they are not. The probabilities for each call are independent. 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.

In this problem we have that:

$p = 0.75$

a. If you call 12 times, what is the probability that exactly 9 of your calls are answered within 30 seconds? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

This is $P(X = 9)$ when $n = 12$ . So

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

$P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.75)^{9}.(0.25)^{3} = 0.2581$

b. If you call 20 times, what is the probability that at least 16 calls are answered in less than 30 seconds? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

This is $P(X \geq 16)$ when $n = 20$

$P(X \geq 16) = P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

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

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.75)^{16}.(0.25)^{4} = 0.1897$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,17}.(0.75)^{17}.(0.25)^{3} = 0.1339$

$P(X = 18) = C_{20,18}.(0.75)^{18}.(0.25)^{2} = 0.0669$

$P(X = 19) = C_{20,19}.(0.75)^{19}.(0.25)^{1} = 0.0211$

$P(X = 20) = C_{20,20}.(0.75)^{20}.(0.25)^{0} = 0.0032$

$P(X \geq 16) = P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.1897 + 0.1339 + 0.0669 + 0.0211 + 0.0032 = 0.4148$

c. If you call 22 times, what is the mean number of calls that are answered in less than 30 seconds? Round your answer to the nearest integer.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

In this question, we have $n = 22$

$E(X) = 22*0.75 = 16.5$

The closest integer to 16.5 is 17.

Peter is buying office supplies he is able to buy three packages of paper in for staplers for $40 or he is able to buy five pack

Damm [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

Cost of package of paper = 4$

Cost of stapler = 7$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Consider the cost of package of paper = x and that of stapler = y.

Now, we are given that cost of 3 paper packages and 4 staplers = 40$

Hence we get, 3x + 4y = 40 as 1st equation.

we are also given, cost of 5 paper packages and 6 staplers = 62$

Hence, the second equation is 5x + 6y = 62

Now, solving the two equations by method of elimination, we first equate coefficients of any one variable say x by multiplying 1st equation by 5 and second by 3 we get ->

15x + 20y = 200

15x + 18y= 186

Subtracting the two we get y = 7 and substituting this value of y in first equation we get x = 4

which gives the required cost of one paper package = x = 4$

and one stapler = y = 7$
