Mr Smith takes orders from 12 people. 8 people want coffee and 6 people want donuts. how many people want coffee and donuts?

Can anyone help me out??

Answer:

p(1) = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic idea is to put 1 wherever you see x. That gives you ...

p(1) = 2·1² +3·1 +1

The powers of x are all 1 when x=1, so the value of p(1) is just the sum of the coefficients:

p(1) = 2 + 3 + 1

p(1) = 6

For a certain river, suppose the drought length Y is the number of consecutive time intervals in which the water supply remains

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

a) There is a 9% probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals.

There is an 85.5% probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals.

b)There is a 14.5% probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric distribution is the number of failures expected before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials.

It has the following probability density formula:

$f(x) = (1-p)^{x}p$

In which p is the probability of a success.

The mean of the geometric distribution is given by the following formula:

$\mu = \frac{1-p}{p}$

The standard deviation of the geometric distribution is given by the following formula:

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1-p}{p^{2}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$p = 0.383$

So

$\mu = \frac{1-p}{p} = \frac{1-0.383}{0.383} = 1.61$

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1-p}{p^{2}}} = \sqrt{\frac{1-0.383}{(0.383)^{2}}} = 2.05$

(a) What is the probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals?

This is $f(3)$

$f(x) = (1-p)^{x}p$

$f(3) = (1-0.383)^{3}*(0.383)$

$f(3) = 0.09$

There is a 9% probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals.

At most 3 intervals?

This is $P = f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3)$

$f(x) = (1-p)^{x}p$

$f(0) = (1-0.383)^{0}*(0.383) = 0.383$

$f(1) = (1-0.383)^{1}*(0.383) = 0.236$

$f(2) = (1-0.383)^{2}*(0.383) = 0.146$

Previously in this exercise, we found that $f(3) = 0.09$

So

$P = f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3) = 0.383 + 0.236 + 0.146 + 0.09 = 0.855$

There is an 85.5% probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals.

(b) What is the probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation?

This is $P(X \geq \mu+\sigma) = P(X \geq 1.61 + 2.05) = P(X \geq 3.66) = P(X \geq 4)$ .

We are working with discrete data, so 3.66 is rounded up to 4.

Either a drought lasts at least four months, or it lasts at most thee. In a), we found that the probability that it lasts at most 3 months is 0.855. The sum of these probabilities is decimal 1. So:

$P(X \leq 3) + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

$0.855 + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

$P(X \geq 4) = 0.145$

There is a 14.5% probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation

Is the point (2,8) a solution of the equation y = 13x + 12?<br> O Yes<br> O No

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

O No

Explanation:

Given equation: y = 13x + 12

To check if (2, 8) is a solution of the given equation.

Substitute x and y value in equation and check if it is true.

$\rightarrow y = 13x+12$

(x, y) = (2, 8)

$\rightarrow 8 = 13(2)+12$

simplify

$\rightarrow 8 = 38$

This following statement is false and hence (2, 8) is not a solution.

Find f such that the given conditions are satisfiedf’(x)=x-4, f(2)=-1

kicyunya [14]

Given:

$f^{\prime}\left(x\right)=x-4,\text{ and}f\left(2\right)=-1$

To find:

The correct function.

Explanation:

Let us consider the function given in option D.

$f(x)=\frac{x^2}{2}-4x+5$

Differentiating with respect to x we get,

$\begin{gathered} f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{2x}{2}-4 \\ f^{\prime}(x)=x-4 \end{gathered}$

Substituting x = 2 in the function f(x), we get

$\begin{gathered} f(2)=\frac{2^2}{2}-4(2)+5 \\ =2-8+5 \\ =-6+5 \\ f(2)=-1 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the given conditions are satisfied.

So, the function is,

$f(x)=\frac{x^{2}}{2}-4x+5$

Final answer: Option D
