Answer:

19.49% probability that no more than 16 of them are strikes

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 30, p = 0.626

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 30*0.626 = 18.78

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{30*0.626*0.374} = 2.65

What is the probability that no more than 16 of them are strikes?

Using continuity correction, this is P(X \leq 16 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 16.5), which is the pvalue of Z when X = 16.5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{16.5 - 18.78}{2.65}

Z = -0.86

Z = -0.86 has a pvalue of 0.1949

19.49% probability that no more than 16 of them are strikes

A certain region currently has wind farms capable of generating a total of 2200 megawatts (2.2 gigawatts) of power. Assuming win
sveta [45]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is A. 4,818'000,000 kilowatt-hours per year and B. 481,800 households.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us for solving the questions:

Power capacity of the wind farms = 2,200 Megawatts or 2.2 Gigawatts

2. Let's resolve the questions A and B:

Part A

Assuming wind farms typically generate 25​% of their​ capacity, how much​ energy, in​ kilowatt-hours, can the​ region's wind farms generate in one​ year?

2,200 * 0.25 = 550 Megawatts

550 Megawatts = 550 * 1,000 Kilowatts = 550,000 Kilowatts

Now we calculate the amount of Kilowatts per hour, per day and per year:

550,000 Kw generated by the farms means that are capable of produce 550,000 kw per hour of energy

550,000 * 24 = 13'200,000 kilowatt-hours per day

<u>13'200,000 * 365 = 4,818'000,000 kilowatt-hours per year</u>

Part B

Given that the average household in the region uses about​ 10,000 kilowatt-hours of energy each​ year, how many households can be powered by these wind​ farms?

For calculating the amount of households we divide the total amount of energy the wind farms can generate (4,818'000,000 kilowatt-hours) and we divide it by the average household consumption (10,000 kilowatt-hours)

<u>Amount of households =  4,818'000,000/10,000 = 481,800</u>

Indicate the equation of the given line in standard form. Show all your work for full credit. the line containing the median of
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

* The equation of the median of the trapezoid is 10x + 6y = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The slope of the line whose end points are (x1 , y1) , (x2 , y2) is

  m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

- The mid point of the line whose end point are (x1 , y1) , (x2 , y2) is

  (\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})

- The standard form of the linear equation is Ax + BC = C, where

  A , B , C are integers and A , B ≠ 0

- The median of a trapezoid is a segment that joins the midpoints of

 the nonparallel sides

- It has two properties:

# It is parallel to both bases

# Its length equals half the sum of the base lengths

* Lets solve the problem

- The trapezoid has vertices R (-1 , 5) , S (! , 8) , T (7 , -2) , U (2 , 0)

- Lets find the slope of the 4 sides two find which of them are the

 parallel bases and which of them are the non-parallel bases

# The side RS

∵ m_{RS}=\frac{8-5}{1 - (-1)}=\frac{3}{2}

# The side ST

∵ m_{ST}=\frac{-2-8}{7-1}=\frac{-10}{6}=\frac{-5}{3}

# The side TU

∵ m_{TU}=\frac{0-(-2)}{2-7}=\frac{2}{-5}=\frac{-2}{5}

# The side UR

∵ m_{UR}=\frac{5-0}{-1-2}=\frac{5}{-3}=\frac{-5}{3}

∵ The slope of ST = the slop UR

∴ ST// UR

∴ The parallel bases are ST and UR

∴ The nonparallel sides are RS and TU

- Lets find the midpoint of RS and TU to find the equation of the

 median of the trapezoid

∵ The median of a trapezoid is a segment that joins the midpoints of

   the nonparallel sides

∵ The midpoint of RS = (\frac{-1+1}{2},\frac{5+8}{2})=(0,\frac{13}{2})

∵ The median is parallel to both bases

∴ The slope of the median equal the slopes of the parallel bases = -5/3

∵ The form of the equation of a line is y = mx + c

∴ The equation of the median is y = -5/3 x + c

- To find c substitute x , y in the equation by the coordinates of the

  midpoint of RS  

∵ The mid point of Rs is (0 , 13/2)

∴ 13/2 = -5/3 (0) + c

∴ 13/2 = c

∴ The equation of the median is y = -5/3 x + 13/2

- Multiply the two sides by 6 to cancel the denominator

∴ The equation of the median is 6y = -10x + 39

- Add 10x to both sides

∴ The equation of the median is 10x + 6y = 39

* The equation of the median of the trapezoid is 10x + 6y = 39
