Answer:

D) 2√5

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

2^2 + 4^2 = c^2

4 + 16 = c^2

20 = c^2

√20 = √c^2

2√5 = c

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You will do a² + b² = c²

Plug in 4² + 2² = 20

√20 = 4.4721....

D = 2√5 = 4.4721..

You are choosing numbers from the set S ={A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H}. Let x = the number of ways to choose 3 letters from S without

postnew [5]

Given set S = {A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H}
There are 8 elements in set S and we are to choose 3 letters at random, the number of ways to choose such is x. It is simply similar to choosing 5 letters at random, which is also equal to x. Since order doesn't matter, n! / (n-m)! where n = 8 and m = 3, which is 336 ways.

According to Padgett Business Services, 20% of all small-business owners say the most important advice for starting a business i

elena-s [515]

Answer:

a) There is a 6.88% probability that none of the owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice.

b) There is a 1.93% probability that six or more owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice.

c) There is a 10.32% probability that exactly five owners would say having good financing ready is the most important advice.

d) The expected number of owners who would say having a good plan is the most important advice is 2.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Questions a), b), c) are all solved as binomial distribution problems.

Question d) is a simple calculation.

Binomial probability distribution

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

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

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

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

And $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

For these problems

12 business owners were contacted, so $n = 12$ .

a. What is the probability that none of the owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice?

20% of all small-business owners say the most important advice for starting a business is to prepare for long hours and hard work, so $\pi = 0.2$ .

That is P(X=0) when $\pi = 0.2$ .

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{12} = 0.0688$

There is a 6.88% probability that none of the owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice.

b. What is the probability that six or more owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice?

20% of all small-business owners say the most important advice for starting a business is to prepare for long hours and hard work, so $\pi = 0.2$ .

This is:

$P = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12)$

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

$P(X = 6) = C_{12,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{6} = 0.0155$

$P(X = 7) = C_{12,7}.(0.2)^{7}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0033$

$P(X = 8) = C_{12,8}.(0.2)^{8}.(0.8)^{4} = 0.0005$

$P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.2)^{9}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.00006$

$P(X = 10) = C_{12,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{2} = 0.000004$

$P(X = 11) = C_{12,11}.(0.2)^{11}.(0.8)^{1} = 0.0000002$

$P(X = 12) = C_{12,12}.(0.2)^{12}.(0.8)^{0} = 0.000000004$

So:

$P = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) = 0.0155 + 0.0033 + 0.0005 + 0.000006 + 0.000004 + 0.0000002 + 0.000000004 = 0.0193$

There is a 1.93% probability that six or more owners would say preparing for long hours and hard work is the most important advice.

c. What is the probability that exactly five owners would say having good financing ready is the most important advice?

Twenty-five percent say the most important advice is to have good financing ready, so $\pi = 0.25$

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

$P(X = 5) = C_{12,5}.(0.25)^{5}.(0.75)^{7} = 0.1032$

There is a 10.32% probability that exactly five owners would say having good financing ready is the most important advice.

d. What is the expected number of owners who would say having a good plan is the most important advice?

Nineteen percent say having a good plan is the most important advice, so that is $0.19*12 = 2.28$

The expected number of owners who would say having a good plan is the most important advice is 2.28

What is HL??? HL=__ Image Below

Advocard [28]

Consider a trapezoid GJKF with:

GH=JH (hypothesis)

FL=KL (hypothesis)

so HL is the median of trapezoid GJKF

so: HL=1/2(2.5+1.2)=1.85

Suppose the mean height for adult males in the U.S. is about 70 inches and the standard deviation is about 3 inches. Assume men’

nlexa [21]

Question options :

a. They should be between 64 and 76 inches tall.

b. They should be close to the height that is 95% of the mean. That is, 66.5 inches, plus or minus 2 standard deviations.

c. They should be at or below the 95th percentile, which is 74.92 inches.

d. None of the above.

Answer: a. They should be between 64 and 76 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Assume men's height follow a normal curve ; and :

Mean height = 70 inches

Standard deviation= 3 inches

According to the empirical rule ;

Assuming a normal distribution with x being random variables ;

About 68% of x-values lie between -1 to 1 standard deviation of the mean. With about 95% of the x values lying between - 2 and +2 standard deviation of mean. With 99.7% falling between - 3 to 3 standard deviations from the mean.

Using the empirical rule :

95% will fall between + or - 2 standard deviation of the mean.

Lower limit = - 2(3) = - 6

Upper limit = 2(3) = 6

(-6+mean) and (+6+ mean)

(-6 + 70) and (6+70)

Identify the restrictions on the domain of f(x) = quantity x plus 5 over quantity x minus 2. x ≠ 5 x ≠ −5 x ≠ 2 x ≠ −2

horsena [70]

Answer: Third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, Rational Functions have the following form:

$f(x)=\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)}$

Where $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$ are polynomials.

The Restrictions of the Domain of Rational Functions are those Real numbers that make the denominator equal to zero, because the division by zero is not defined.

In this case, you have the following Rational Function:

$f(x)=\frac{x+5}{x-2}$
