Let the event $A=\{ Horse \}, B=\{ Female \}$

The the probability of the events

$P(A \cap B)=\frac{2}{14+26} =\frac{1}{20}$

$P( B)=\frac{26}{14+26} =\frac{13}{20}$

The conditional probability

$P(Horse|Female)=P(A|B)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} =\frac{1/20}{13/20} =\frac{1}{13}$

Which values for A and B will create infinitely many solutions for this system of equations? ax-y=8 2x+y=b

Nata [24]

Answer:

a = -2 , b = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the solution of the linear equations

- There are three types of the solutions of the system of linear equations

# If the two lines intersect each other, then there is one solution

- The equations are ax+ by = c , dx + ey = f

# If the two lines parallel to each other, then there is no solution

- The equations are ax+ by = c , ax + by = d in its simplest form ,

where a is the coefficient of x , b is the coefficient of y and

c , d are the numerical terms

# If the two lines coincide (over each other), then there are infinite

solutions

- The equations are ax+ by = c , ax + by = c in its simplest form, where

a is the coefficient of x , b is the coefficient of y and c is the

numerical term

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The system of equation is:

ax - y = 8 ⇒ (1)

2x + y = b ⇒ (2)

∵ The system create infinitely many solutions

∴ The lines are coincide

- The equations must be equal, then multiply equation(1) or (2) by -1 to

make the coefficient of y in the two equations equal

∴ -ax + y = -8

∴ 2x + y = b

∵ Their coefficients of x are equal

∵ Their coefficients of y are equal

∵ Their numerical terms are equal

∵ The coefficient of x in equation (1) is -a and in equation (2) is 2

∴ -a = 2 ⇒ multiply both sides by -1

∴ a = 2

∵ The numerical term in equation (1) is -8 and in equation (2) is b

∴ b = -8

* The values for a and b will create infinitely many solutions are -2 , -8

The mean of a population is 74 and the standard deviation is 15. The shape of the population is unknown. Determine the probabili

Lena [83]

Answer:

a) 0.0548 = 5.48% probability of a random sample of size 36 yielding a sample mean of 78 or more.

b) 0.9858 = 98.58% probability of a random sample of size 150 yielding a sample mean of between 71 and 77.

c) 0.5793 = 57.93% probability of a random sample of size 219 yielding a sample mean of less than 74.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The mean of a population is 74 and the standard deviation is 15.

This means that $\mu = 74, \sigma = 15$

Question a:

Sample of 36 means that $n = 36, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{36}} = 2.5$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 78. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{78 - 74}{2.5}$

$Z = 1.6$

$Z = 1.6$ has a pvalue of 0.9452

1 - 0.9452 = 0.0548

0.0548 = 5.48% probability of a random sample of size 36 yielding a sample mean of 78 or more.

Question b:

Sample of 150 means that $n = 150, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{150}} = 1.2247$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 77 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 71. So

X = 77

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{77 - 74}{1.2274}$

$Z = 2.45$

$Z = 2.45$ has a pvalue of 0.9929

X = 71

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{71 - 74}{1.2274}$

$Z = -2.45$

$Z = -2.45$ has a pvalue of 0.0071

0.9929 - 0.0071 = 0.9858

0.9858 = 98.58% probability of a random sample of size 150 yielding a sample mean of between 71 and 77.

c. A random sample of size 219 yielding a sample mean of less than 74.2

Sample size of 219 means that $n = 219, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{219}} = 1.0136$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 74.2. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{74.2 - 74}{1.0136}$

$Z = 0.2$

$Z = 0.2$ has a pvalue of 0.5793

0.5793 = 57.93% probability of a random sample of size 219 yielding a sample mean of less than 74.2

The function f(t)=t^2+12t-18 represents a parabola. Part A: Rewrite the function in vertex form by completing the square. Show y

ale4655 [162]

The function in vertex form is $f(t) = (t+6)^{2} -54$ (refer to your other post I solved it there).
The general form of quadratic equations in vertex form is $f(x) = a(x-h)^{2} +k$ , where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.
Here, a = 1, h = -6 and k = -54
Therefore, the vertex is (-6, -54) and it is a maximum because a = 1 is postive.
