The height of the Empire State Building is 318.00 meters. If a stone is dropped from the top of the building, what is the stone's velocity just before it strikes the ground? 

Answer: In order to find the stone’s velocity just before it strikes the ground we will use one of the free fall equations. V = √(2gh). We already have the values needed which are the gravity (9.8 m/s2) and our total height (318 meters). All you have to do is solve for V. You should get 78.95 m/s.

Suppose it is known that 60% of radio listeners at a particular college are smokers. A sample of 500 students from the college i
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The probability that at least 280 of these students are smokers is 0.9664.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> be defined as the number of students at a particular college who are smokers

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 500 and p = 0.60.

But the sample selected is too large and the probability of success is close to 0.50.

So a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied to approximate the distribution of X if the following conditions are satisfied:

1. np ≥ 10

2. n(1 - p) ≥ 10

Check the conditions as follows:

 np=500\times 0.60=300>10\\n(1-p)=500\times(1-0.60)=200>10

Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.

So,  

X\sim N(\mu=600, \sigma=\sqrt{120})

Compute the probability that at least 280 of these students are smokers as follows:

Apply continuity correction:

P (X ≥ 280) = P (X > 280 + 0.50)

                   = P (X > 280.50)

                   =P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{280-300}{\sqrt{120}}\\=P(Z>-1.83)\\=P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that at least 280 of these students are smokers is 0.9664.

Which function has the largest y - intercept?
lesantik [10]
F(x) is a quadratic. The y intercept, therefore, is equal to the c value.
The y intercept here is -4.
For g(x), you can tell that the y intercept is 0 because that's the value of y when the x value is 0.
For h(x), the chart specifies that when x=0, y=-2, so the y intercept is -2.
Of these three values, 0 is the largest.
Final answer: g(x)
