Mathematics
1 answer:
ANTONII [103]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The Latin phrase is "reduction ad absurd um", meaning reduction to absurdity. You assume the opposite and show that logically it leads to a contradiction and therefore cannot be true.

Hope this helps.

Every day, Luann walks to the bus stop and the amount of time she will have to wait for the bus is between 0 and 12 minutes, wit
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

a. 341.902.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

n instances of a normal variable:

For n instances of a normal variable, the mean is n\mu and the standard deviation is s = \sigma\sqrt{n}

60 days, for each day, mean 6, variance of 12.

So

\mu = 60*6 = 360

s = \sqrt{12}\sqrt{60} = 26.8328

What is the 25th percentile of her total wait time over the course of 60 days?

X when Z has a p-value of 0.25, so X when Z = -0.675.

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

-0.675 = \frac{X - 360}{26.8328}

X - 360 = -0.675*26.8328

X = 341.902

Thus, the correct answer is given by option A.

Which ordered pair is included in the solution set to the following system? y > x2 + 3 y < x2 – 3x + 2 (–2, 8) (0, 2) (0,
I am Lyosha [343]

The ordered pair that is a solution of the system is (-2, 8).

<h3>Which ordered pair is included in the solution set to the following system?</h3>

Here we have the system of inequalities:

y > x² + 3

y < x² - 3x + 2

To check which points are solutions of the system, we can just evaluate both inequalities in the given points and see if they are true.

For example, for the first point (-2, 8) if we evaluate it in the two inequalities we get:

8 > (-2)² + 3 = 7

8 <  (-2)² - 3*(-2) + 2 = 12

As we can see, both inequalities are true. So we conclude that (-2, 8) is the solution.

(if you use any other of the 3 points you will see that at least one of the inequalities becomes false).
