In a class of 100 students, 25 students have hardcover and 75 students have paperback textbooks for the course. If you randomly

choose 10 students in this class, fnd the probability that 2 of them have hardcover texts in the following ways: a. the exact probability b. approximate probability using a binomial distribution

h = prob of hardcover = .25

p = prob of paperback = .75

a.

Prob(2 hardcover of 10) = (10 choose 2) (.25)^2 (.75)^8

= ( 10(9)/2 ) (1/4^10) (1^2 3^8)

= 295245/1048576

≈ 28.15%

b.

I think I just did the binomial distribution.  We can approximate it as a normal distribution. The mean and variance in this case are computed thus:

N=10, n=2

μ = Np = 2.5

σ² = Npq = 1.875

σ = 1.3693

P(n) = 1/(σ√2π)e^-(n-μ)/(2σ²)

P(2) = 1/(1.3693√2π)e^-(2 - 2.5)/(2 (1.875))

P(2) = 33.3%

Pretty good, not great.

Convert y=9 from rectangular to polar form
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

r = 9/sin Ф or r = 9 csc Ф

Step-by-step explanation:

The polar form is represented as:

x = r cos Ф and

y = r sin Ф

We are given:

y = 9

Putting value in y = r sin Ф

9 = r sin Ф

=> r = 9/sin Ф

1/sin Ф = csc Ф

or, r = 9 csc Ф

Questions attached as screenshot below:Please help me I need good explanations before final testI pay attention
Nikitich [7]

The acceleration of the particle is given by the formula mentioned below:

a=\frac{d^2s}{dt^2}

Differentiate the position vector with respect to t.

\begin{gathered} \frac{ds(t)}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\sqrt[]{\mleft(t^3+1\mright)} \\ =-\frac{1}{2}(t^3+1)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\times3t^2 \\ =\frac{3}{2}\frac{t^2}{\sqrt{(t^3+1)}} \end{gathered}

Differentiate both sides of the obtained equation with respect to t.

\begin{gathered} \frac{d^2s(t)}{dx^2}=\frac{3}{2}(\frac{2t}{\sqrt[]{(t^3+1)}}+t^2(-\frac{3}{2})\times\frac{1}{(t^3+1)^{\frac{3}{2}}}) \\ =\frac{3t}{\sqrt[]{(t^3+1)}}-\frac{9}{4}\frac{t^2}{(t^3+1)^{\frac{3}{2}}} \end{gathered}

Substitute t=2 in the above equation to obtain the acceleration of the particle at 2 seconds.

\begin{gathered} a(t=1)=\frac{3}{\sqrt[]{2}}-\frac{9}{4\times2^{\frac{3}{2}}} \\ =1.32ft/sec^2 \end{gathered}

The initial position is obtained at t=0. Substitute t=0 in the given position function.

\begin{gathered} s(0)=-23\times0+65 \\ =65 \end{gathered}

In two months Mika spent a total of $305.43 on groceries. She spent $213.20 in the first month.How much did she spit in a second
Nostrana [21]

To find out how much she spent during the second month, all we have to do is subtract $305.43 and $213.20

$305.43 - $213.20 = $92.23

Therefore she spent $92.23 during the second month

Hope this helps
