the answer is 41 because you cross multiply then divide by 8.5 and get the answer

$\frac{10.25}{8.5} = \frac{x}{34}$

Which definite integral approximation formula is this: the integral from a to b of f(x)dx ≈ (b-a)/n * [<img src="https://tex.z-d

Stella [2.4K]

The answer is most likely A.

The integration interval [<em>a</em>, <em>b</em>] is split up into <em>n</em> subintervals of equal length (so each subinterval has width (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em>, same as the coefficient of the sum of <em>y</em> terms) and approximated by the area of <em>n</em> rectangles with base (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em> and height <em>y</em>.

<em>n</em> subintervals require <em>n</em> + 1 points, with

<em>x</em>₀ = <em>a</em>

<em>x</em>₁ = <em>a</em> + (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em>

<em>x</em>₂ = <em>a</em> + 2(<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em>

and so on up to the last point <em>x</em> = <em>b</em>. The right endpoints are <em>x</em>₁, <em>x</em>₂, … etc. and the height of each rectangle are the corresponding <em>y </em>'s at these endpoints. Then you get the formula as given in the photo.

• "Average rate of change" isn't really relevant here. The AROC of a function <em>G(x)</em> continuous* over an interval [<em>a</em>, <em>b</em>] is equal to the slope of the secant line through <em>x</em> = <em>a</em> and <em>x</em> = <em>b</em>, i.e. the value of the difference quotient

(<em>G(b)</em> - <em>G(a)</em> ) / (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)

If <em>G(x)</em> happens to be the antiderivative of a function <em>g(x)</em>, then this is the same as the average value of <em>g(x)</em> on the same interval,

$g_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{G(b)-G(a)}{b-a}=\dfrac1{b-a}\displaystyle\int_a^b g(x)\,\mathrm dx$

(* I'm actually not totally sure that continuity is necessary for the AROC to exist; I've asked this question before without getting a particularly satisfying answer.)

• "Trapezoidal rule" doesn't apply here. Split up [<em>a</em>, <em>b</em>] into <em>n</em> subintervals of equal width (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em>. Over the first subinterval, the area of a trapezoid with "bases" <em>y</em>₀ and <em>y</em>₁ and "height" (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em> is

(<em>y</em>₀ + <em>y</em>₁) (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em>

but <em>y</em>₀ is clearly missing in the sum, and also the next term in the sum would be

(<em>y</em>₁ + <em>y</em>₂) (<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em>

the sum of these two areas would reduce to

(<em>b</em> - <em>a</em>)/<em>n</em> = (<em>y</em>₀ + <u>2</u> <em>y</em>₁ + <em>y</em>₂)

which would mean all the terms in-between would need to be doubled as well to get

$\displaystyle\int_a^b f(x)\,\mathrm dx\approx\frac{b-a}n\left(y_0+2y_1+2y_2+\cdots+2y_{n-1}+y_n\right)$

I just need the coordinates

Viefleur [7K]

There are no coordinates for an equation like this, you have to just graph the problem. Just try graphing something similar to this (or just include this image). Hope this helps!

The Sky Ranch is a supplier of aircraft parts. Included in stock are 6 altimeters that are correctly calibrated and two that are

almond37 [142]

Answer:

For x = 0, P(x = 0) = 0.35

For x = 1, P(x = 1) = 0.54

For x = 2, P(x = 2) = 0.11

For x = 3, P(x = 3) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the Sky Ranch is a supplier of aircraft parts. Included in stock are 6 altimeters that are correctly calibrated and two that are not. Three altimeters are randomly selected, one at a time, without replacement.

Let X = <u><em>the number that are not correctly calibrated.</em></u>

Number of altimeters that are correctly calibrated = 6

Number of altimeters that are not correctly calibrated = 2

Total number of altimeters = 6 + 2 = 8

(a) For x = 0: means there are 0 altimeters that are not correctly calibrated.

This means that all three selected altimeters are correctly calibrated.

Total number of ways of selecting 3 altimeters from a total of 8 = $^{8}C_3$

The number of ways of selecting 3 altimeters from a total of 6 altimeters that are correctly calibrated = $^{6}C_3$

So, the required probability = $\frac{^{6}C_3}{^{8}C_3}$

= $\frac{20}{56}$ = <u>0.35</u>

(b) For x = 1: means there is 1 altimeter that is not correctly calibrated.

This means that from three selected altimeters; 1 is not correctly calibrated and 2 are correctly calibrated.

Total number of ways of selecting 3 altimeters from a total of 8 = $^{8}C_3$

The number of ways of selecting 2 correctly calibrated altimeters from a total of 6 altimeters that are correctly calibrated = $^{6}C_2$

The number of ways of selecting 1 not correctly calibrated altimeters from a total of 2 altimeters that are not correctly calibrated = $^{2}C_1$

So, the required probability = $\frac{^{6}C_2 \times ^{2}C_1 }{^{8}C_3}$

= $\frac{30}{56}$ = <u>0.54</u>

(c) For x = 2: means there is 2 altimeter that is not correctly calibrated.

This means that from three selected altimeters; 2 are not correctly calibrated and 1 is correctly calibrated.

Total number of ways of selecting 3 altimeters from a total of 8 = $^{8}C_3$

The number of ways of selecting 1 correctly calibrated altimeters from a total of 6 altimeters that are correctly calibrated = $^{6}C_1$

The number of ways of selecting 2 not correctly calibrated altimeters from a total of 2 altimeters that are not correctly calibrated = $^{2}C_2$

So, the required probability = $\frac{^{6}C_1 \times ^{2}C_2 }{^{8}C_3}$

= $\frac{6}{56}$ = <u>0.11</u>

(d) For x = 3: means there is 3 altimeter that is not correctly calibrated.

This case is not possible, so this probability is 0.
