If there are 100 students in a Masters Degree program at OU, and there`s a 5% failure rate, how many students are left after 12

months?

5% fail
so 100-5=95% are left

percent means parts out of 100
95% of 100 is $\frac{95}{100}$ times 100=95

95 students are left assuming that the 5% that fail fail within 12 months

For which nonnegative value of x is the expression 5+x/25-x^2

erica [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5+x}{25-x^2} >0\\=\frac{5+x}{(5+x)(5-x)} \\=\frac{1}{5-x} >0\\if~5-x>0\\or~5>x\\or x$

2: Write out a system of equations that has infinite solutions. Explain why it has infinite

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Below!

Explanation:

A system of equations with infinite solutions defines that both the equations are identical and are overlapping when the lines are graphed. An example could be y = 5x + 9 and y = 5x + 9. These sets of equations have infinite solutions because they are the same and when graphed, they overlap.

In October of 2012, Apple introduced a much smaller variant of the Apple iPad, known at the iPad Mini. Weighing less than 11 oun

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

a. $f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{3.5}8.5$

b. the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less is 0.4286 which is about 42.86%

c. the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is 0.2857 which is about 28.57 %

d. the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours is 0.5714 which is about 57.14%

e. 86 should have a battery life of at least 9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

Let X represent the continuous random variable with uniform distribution U (A, B) . Therefore the probability density function can now be determined as :

$f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{B-A}A$

where A and B are the two parameters of the uniform distribution

From the question;

Assume that battery life of the iPad Mini is uniformly distributed between 8.5 and 12 hours

So; Let A = 8,5 and B = 12

Therefore; the mathematical expression for the probability density function of battery life is :

$f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{12-8.5}8.5$

$f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{3.5}8.5$

b. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less (to 4 decimals)?

The probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less can be calculated as:

F(x) = P(X ≤x)

$F(x) = \dfrac{x-A}{B-A}$

$F(10) = \dfrac{10-8.5}{12-8.5}$

F(10) = 0.4286

the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less is 0.4286 which is about 42.86%

c. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours (to 4 decimals)?

The battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is calculated as follows:

$P(X\geq11) = \int\limits^{12}_{11} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx$

$P(X\geq11) = {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (x)^{12}_{11}$

$P(X\geq11) = {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (12-11)$

$P(X\geq11) = {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (1)$

$P(X\geq11) = 0.2857$

the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is 0.2857 which is about 28.57 %

d. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours (to 4 decimals)?

$P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =\int\limits^{11.5}_{9.5} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx$

$P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, (x)^{11.5}_{9.5}$

$P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (11.5-9.5)$

$P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (2)$

$P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =0.2857* (2)$

$P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =0.5714$

Hence; the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours is 0.5714 which is about 57.14%

e. In a shipment of 100 iPad Minis, how many should have a battery life of at least 9 hours (to nearest whole value)?

The probability that battery life of at least 9 hours is calculated as:

$P(X \geq 9) = \int\limits^{12}_{9} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx$

$P(X \geq 9) = {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(x)^{12}_{9}$

$P(X \geq 9) = {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(12-9)$

$P(X \geq 9) = {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(3)$

$P(X \geq 9) = 0.2857*}(3)$

$P(X \geq 9) = 0.8571$

NOW; The Number of iPad that should have a battery life of at least 9 hours is calculated as:

n = 100(0.8571)

n = 85.71

n ≅ 86

Thus , 86 should have a battery life of at least 9 hours
