Points P and Q belong to segment AB. If AB = a, AP = 2PQ = 2QB, find the distance: a between point A and the midpoint of the seg

PIT_PIT [208]3 years ago

Since PQ = QB, PB = 2PQ = AP. Thus P is the midpoint of AB, and Q is the midpoint of PB. Then the midpoint (X) of QB is AP + PQ + QX = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 times the length of AB from A.

The distance from A to the midpoint of QB is (7/8)a.

The time taken to deliver a pizza has a uniform probability distribution from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. What is the probability
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

(1) The probability that the time to deliver a pizza is at least 32 minutes is 0.70.

(2a) The percentage of results more than 45 is 79.67%.

(2b) The percentage of results less than 85 is 91.77%.

(2c) The percentage of results are between 75 and 90 is 15.58%.

(2d) The percentage of results outside the healthy range 20 to 100 is 2.64%.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

Let <em>Y</em> = the time taken to deliver a pizza.

The random variable <em>Y</em> follows a Uniform distribution, U (20, 60).

The probability distribution function of a Uniform distribution is:

f(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a};\ x\in [a, b] } \atop {0};\ otherwise} \right.

Compute the probability that the time to deliver a pizza is at least 32 minutes as follows:

P(Y\geq 32)=\int\limits^{60}_{32} {\frac{1}{b-a} } \, dx \\=\frac{1}{60-20} \int\limits^{60}_{32} {1 } \, dx\\=\frac{1}{40}\times[x]^{60}_{32}\\=\frac{1}{40}\times[60-32]\\=0.70

Thus, the probability that the time to deliver a pizza is at least 32 minutes is 0.70.

(2)

Let <em>X</em> = results of a certain blood test.

It is provided that the random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution with parameters \mu = 60 and s = 18.

The probabilities of a Normal distribution are computed by converting the raw scores to <em>z</em>-scores.

The <em>z</em>-scores follows a Standard normal distribution, N (0, 1).

(a)

Compute the probability that the results are more than 45 as follows:

P(X>45)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}> \frac{45-60}{18})=P(Z>-0.833)=P(Z

The percentage of results more than 45 is: 0.7967\times100=79.67\%

Thus, the percentage of results more than 45 is 79.67%.

(b)

Compute the probability that the results are less than 85 as follows:

P(X

The percentage of results less than 85 is: 0.9177\times100=91.77\%

Thus, the percentage of results less than 85 is 91.77%.

(c)

Compute the probability that the results are between 75 and 90 as follows:

P(75

The percentage of results are between 75 and 90 is: 0.1558\times100=15.58\%

Thus, the percentage of results are between 75 and 90 is 15.58%.

(d)

Compute the probability that the results are between 20 and 100 as follows:

P(20

Then the probability that the results outside the range 20 to 100 is: 1-0.9736=0.0264.

The percentage of results outside the range 20 to 100 is: 0.0264\times100=2.64\%

Thus, the percentage of results outside the healthy range 20 to 100 is 2.64%.

22. Determine the value of c so that the line
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

If the lines BC and DE are parallel, the value of c is c=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given line segment BC with end points B(2, 2) and C(9,6) and line segment DE with endpoints  D(c, -7) and E(5, -3).

Using slope formula: Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} we can find point c

When 2 lines are parallel there slope is same.

So, Slope of line BC =Slope of Line DE

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have:

x_1=2, y_1=2, x_2=9, y_2=6 \ for \ line \ BC \ and \\\x_1=c, y_1=-7, x_2=5, y_2=-3 \ for \ line \ DE \

Putting values and finding c

\frac{6-2}{9-2}=\frac{-3-(-7)}{5-c}\\ \frac{4}{7}=\frac{-3+7}{5-c} \\ \frac{4}{7}=\frac{4}{5-c} \\Cross \ multiply:\\4(5-c)=4*7\\20-4c=28\\-4c=28-20\\-4c=8\\c=\frac{8}{-4}\\c=-2

So, If the lines BC and DE are parallel, the value of c is c=-2

What is the end behavior of the graph of the polynomial function y = 10x9 – 4x?
scoray [572]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the highest degree ( x^9)  is 9 - odd.

So this well rise from negative infinity on the left and rise to positive infinity on the right - or, putting it in a different way, fall to the left and rise to the right.

Q..3/4 of a piece of metal has a mass on 15 kg. What is the mass of 2/5 of a piece of metal ?
Margarita [4]

Answer

8kg

Explanation

3/4--------15

2/5-------x

cross multiplying

3/4×X = 2/5×15

3X/4 = 30/5

3X/4 = 6

cross multiplying

3X = 4×6

3X = 24

dividing bothsides by 3

3X /3 = 24/3

X = 8

therefore, the answer is 8 kg
