The hyperbola is more or less as in the picture below

notice the traverse axis is horizontal, meaning the positive fraction will be the one with the "x" variable in it, and notice the length of the "a" component

the conjugate axis is 10, notice the length of the "b" component

thus $\bf \textit{hyperbola with horizontal traverse axis }\\\\
\cfrac{(x-{{ h}})^2}{{{ a}}^2}-\cfrac{(y-{{ k}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1
\qquad center\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\qquad
 vertices\ ({{ h}}\pm a, {{ k}})$

so, hmmmm plug in those values

Find the geometric mean of the pair of numbers

Svetach [21]

Answer: a. 55

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the geometeric mean between two numbers a and b is given by :-

$G.M. =\sqrt{ab}$

The given numbers are : 275 and 11

The geometric mean of 275 and 11 is given by :-

$G.M.=\sqrt{275\times11}\\\\\Rightarrow\ G.M. =\sqrt{3025}\\\\\Rightarrow\ G.M.=\sqrt{55\times55}\\\\\Rightarrow\ G.M.=\sqrt{55^2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ G.M.=55$

Hence, the geometric mean of 275 and 11 is 55.

So , the correct option is a. 55 .

In a binomial distribution, n = 8 and π=0.36. Find the probabilities of the following events. (Round your answers to 4 decimal p

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

$\mathbf{P(X=5) =0.0888}$

P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.9707

P ( x ≥ 6) = 0.0293

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a binomial mass distribution can be expressed with the formula:

$\mathtt{P(X=x) =(^{n}_{x} ) \ \pi^x \ (1-\pi)^{n-x}}$

$\mathtt{P(X=x) =(\dfrac{n!}{x!(n-x)!} ) \ \pi^x \ (1-\pi)^{n-x}}$

where;

n = 8 and π = 0.36

For x = 5

The probability $\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8!}{5!(8-5)!} ) \ 0.36^5 \ (1-0.36)^{8-5}}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8!}{5!(3)!} ) \ 0.36^5 \ (0.64)^{3}}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5!}{5!(3)!} ) \times \ 0.0060466 \ \times 0.262144}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =(\dfrac{8 \times 7 \times 6 }{3 \times 2 \times 1} ) \times \ 0.0060466 \ \times 0.262144}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =({8 \times 7 } ) \times \ 0.0060466 \ \times 0.262144}$

$\mathtt{P(X=5) =0.0887645}$

$\mathbf{P(X=5) =0.0888}$ to 4 decimal places

b. x ≤ 5

The probability of P ( x ≤ 5) $\mathtt{P(x \leq 5) = P(x = 0)+ P(x = 1)+ P(x = 2)+ P(x = 3)+ P(x = 4)+ P(x = 5})$

${P(x \leq 5) = ( \dfrac{8!}{0!(8!)} \times (0.36)^0 \times (1-0.36)^8 \ ) + \dfrac{8!}{1!(7!)} \times (0.36)^1 \times (1-0.36)^7 \ +$ $\dfrac{8!}{2!(6!)} \times (0.36)^2 \times (1-0.36)^6 \ + \dfrac{8!}{3!(5!)} \times (0.36)^3 \times (1-0.36)^5 + \dfrac{8!}{4!(4!)} \times (0.36)^4 \times (1-0.36)^4 \ + \dfrac{8!}{5!(3!)} \times (0.36)^5 \times (1-0.36)^3 \ )$

P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.0281+0.1267+0.2494+0.2805+0.1972+0.0888

P(x ≤ 5 ) = 0.9707

c. x ≥ 6

The probability of P ( x ≥ 6) = 1 - P( x ≤ 5 )

P ( x ≥ 6) = 1 - 0.9707

P ( x ≥ 6) = 0.0293

Caroline wants to give 8 friends equal size packets of flower seeds to her friends. She has 1/2 pound of flower seeds. How much

Katena32 [7]

You just have to divide the 1/2 a pound by 8, or equivalently multiply by (1/8):

(1/2)*(1/8) = 1/16 of a pound

6 1⁄3 + 7 1⁄4 – 2 1⁄2 =

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

11 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

6 1/3 = 19/3

7 1/4 = 29/4

2 1/2 = 5/2

19/3 + 29/4 - 5/2

We must find the LCM of 3, 4, and 2. This happens to be 12

3*4 = 12

4*3 = 12

2*6 = 12

Multiply each fraction by the factor that'll get it to 12.

19/3 * 4/4 = 76/12

29/4 * 3/3 = 87/12

5/2 * 6/6 = 30/12

Now go through the problem

76/12 + 87/12 - 30/12

76 + 87 = 163

163/12 - 30/12

163 - 30 = 133

133/12

Simplify

133/12 = 11.0833... or 11 1/12

Hope this helps.
