Answer:48 red marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

144÷24= 6

6*5= 30 white

6*11= 66 black

6*8= 48 red

Answer:  The number of red marbles in the jar is 48.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the number of white, black and red marbles in a jar are in the ratio 5 : 11 : 18. And the total number of marbles in the jar is 144.

We are to find the number of red marbles in the jar.

Let, 5x, 11x and 8x be the number of white, black and red marbles in the jar.

Then, according to the given information, we have

5x+11x+8x=144\\\\\Rightarrow 24x=144\\\\\Rightarrow x=6.

Therefore, the number of red marbles will be

8x=8\times6=48.

Thus, there are 48 red marbles in the jar.

Suppose that 20% of the subscribers of a cable television company watch the shopping channel at least once a week. The cable com
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

4.01% probability that the cable company will keep the shopping channel.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each subscriber, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they watch the shopping channel at least once a week, or they do not. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.

However, we are working with samples that are considerably big. So i am going to aproximate this binomial distribution to the normal.

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 = 100, p = 0.20

So

E(X) = 100*0.20 = 20

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{100*0.20*0.80} = 4

The cable company has decided to keep the shopping channel if the sample proportion is greater than 0.27. What is the approximate probability that the cable company will keep the shopping channel, even though the true proportion who watch it is only 0.20?

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.27*100 = 27. So

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

Z = \frac{27 - 20}{4}

Z = 1.75

Z = 1.75 has a pvalue of 0.9599.

So there is a 1-0.9599 = 0.0401 = 4.01% probability that the cable company will keep the shopping channel.

Can someone please clearly and correctly solve and show me how to work out QUESTION 3 AND 4??
vredina [299]
There are 2 options to solve that.
1. The first one is by derivatives. 
f(x)=x^2+12x+36
f'(x)=2x+12
then you solve that for f'(x)=0
0=2x+12
x=(-6)
you have x so for (-6) solve the first equation, then you find y
y=(-6)^2+12*(-6)+36=(-72)
so the vertex is (-6, -72)
2. The second option is to solve that by equations:
for x we have:
x=(-b)/2a
for that task we have
b=12
a=1
x=(-12)/2=(-6)
you have x so put x into the main equation
y=(-6)^2+12*(-6)+36=(-72)
and we have the same solution: vertex is (-6, -72)

For next task, I will use the second option:
y=x^2-6x
x=(-b)/2a
for that task we have
b=(-6)
a=1
x=(6)/2=3
you have x so put x into the main equation
y=3^2+(-6)*3=(--9)
and we have the same solution: vertex is (3, -9)
