If five numbers are selected at random from the set {1,2,3,...,20}, what is the probability that their minimum is larger than 5?

(A number can be chosen more than once, and the order in which you select the numbers matters)

Answer:

the probability that their minimum is larger than 5 is 0.2373

Step-by-step explanation:

For calculate the probability we need to make a división between the total ways to selected the 5 numbers and the ways to select the five numbers in which every number is larger than 5.

So the number of possibilities to select 5 numbers from 20 is:

<u>20                </u> * <u>      20         </u>*  <u>        20     </u> *<u>        20         </u>* <u>       20 </u>

First number  2nd number   3rd number  4th number   5th number

Taking into account that a number can be chosen more than once, and the order in which you select the numbers matters, for every position we have 20 options so, there are  20^{5} ways to select 5 numbers.

Then the number of possibilities in which their minimum number is larger than 5 is calculate as:

<u>15                </u> * <u>      15         </u>*  <u>           15     </u> *<u>        15          </u>* <u>       15 </u>

First number  2nd number   3rd number  4th number   5th number

This time for every option we can choose number from 6 to 20, so we have 15 numbers for every option and the total ways that satisfy the condition are  15^{5}

So the probability P can be calculate as:

P=\frac{15^{5} }{20^{5} } \\P=0.2373

Then the probability that their minimum is larger than 5 is 0.2373

What are the possible values of x if (4x - 5)2 = 49? Check all that apply.<br> uw we we
kogti [31]

Answer:

x = - \frac{1}{2}, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(4x - 5)² = 49 ( take the square root of both sides )

4x - 5 = ± \sqrt{49} = ± 7 ( add 5 to both sides )

4x = 5 ± 7, thus

4x = 5 - 7 = - 2 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = \frac{-2}{4} = - \frac{1}{2}

or

4x = 5 + 7 = 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 3

As a check

Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.

x = - \frac{1}{2}

left side = (- 2 - 5)² = (- 7)² = 49 = right side ⇒ solution

x = 3

left side = (12 - 5)² = 7² = 49 = right side ⇒ solution

Engineers want to design passenger seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 95 percent of adult men. Ass
zimovet [89]

Answer:

z=1.64

And if we solve for a we got

a=14.4 +1.64*1.1=16.204

The 95th percentile of the hip breadth of adult men is 16.2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the hips breadths of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(14.4,1.1)  

Where \mu=14.4 and \sigma=1.1

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.05   (a)

P(X   (b)

We can find a quantile in the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.95 of the area on the left and 0.05 of the area on the right it's z=1.64

Using this value we can set up the following equation:

P(X  

P(z

And we have:

z=1.64

And if we solve for a we got

a=14.4 +1.64*1.1=16.204

The 95th percentile of the hip breadth of adult men is 16.2 inches.

Jasmine buys 3 T-Shirts and 3 Hats for $11.25. The next day, he buys 4 T-Shirts and 2 Hats for $10. How much does each T-Shirt a
leonid [27]

Answer: Each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Cost per T-shirt, y = Cost per Hat.

As per given,

3x+3y=11.25        (i)

4x+2y=10             (ii)

Multiply 4 to equation (i)

12x+12y=45          (iii)

12x+6y= 30             (iv)

Eliminate (iv) from (iii), we get

6y= 15

⇒ y = 2.5

Put value of y in (i)

3x+3(2.5)=11.25

⇒3x+7.5=11.25

⇒3x= 3.75

⇒x= 1.25

Hence, each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.
