consider a population of voters. suppose that that there are n=1000 voters in the population, 30% of whom favor jones. identify

the event favors jones as a success s. it is evident that the probability of s on trial 1 is 0.30. consider the event b that s occurs on the second trial. then b can occur two ways: the first two trials are both successes or the first trial is a failure and the second is a success. show that p(b) = 0.3

Answer:

P(B)=0.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of 1000 Voters, 30% favor Jones.

Event S=Favors Jones on First Trial

Event B=S occurs on Second Trial

P(S)=0.30

P(S')=1-0.30=0.70

Event B could occur in two ways

  1. The first two trials are a success
  2. The first trial is a failure and the second trial is a success.

Therefore,

P(B)=P(SS)+P(S'S)

=(0.3X0.3)+(0.7X0.3)

=0.09+0.21

=0.3

Therefore, the probability of event B(that event S occurs on the second trial), P(B)=0.30.

The length of a rectangular window is 5 feet more than its width, w. The area of the
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The equation could be used to find the dimensions of the  window would be:  w^{2}  + 5w = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

as

  • The length of a rectangular window is 5 feet more than its width, w.

and

  • The area of the  window is 36 square feet.

So it means

l = w + 5

A = lw

36 = (w + 5)w

w^{2}  + 5w = 36

Therefore, the equation could be used to find the dimensions of the  window would be:  w^{2}  + 5w = 36

Graph the line and the parabola and find the points of intersection: y= 3-x ; y=x(squared)+x-12
melomori [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to graph a line y = 3 - x which has the slope = -1 and y intercept 3.

We will select two points where line intersects at x = 0 and y = 0

The given line will intersect x-axis at (3, 0) and at y- axis (0, 3).

Joining these two points we can draw a straight line showing y = -x + 3

Now we will draw the parabola given by equation y = x² + x - 12

We will convert this equation in vertex form first to get the vertex and line of symmetry.

Standard equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = (x - h)² + k

Where (h, k) is the vertex and x = h is the line of symmetry.

y = x² + x - 12

y = x² + 2(0.5)x + (0.5)²- (0.5)²-12

y = (x + 0.5)² - 12.25

Therefore, vertex will be (-0.5, -12.25) and line of symmetry will be x = 0.5

For x intercept,

0 = (x + 0.5)² - 12.25

x + 0.5 = ±√12.25

x = -0.5 ± 3.5

x = -4, 3

For y- intercept,

y = (0+0.5)² - 12.25

 = 0.25 - 12.25

y = -12

So the parabola has vertex (-0.5, - 12.25), line of symmetry x = 0.5, x intercept (4, 0), (and y-intercept (0, -12).

Now we have to find the points of intersection of the given line and parabola.

For this we will replace the values of y

3 - x = x² + x - 12

x² + 2x - 15 = 0

x² + 5x - 3x - 15 = 0

x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5) = 0

(x - 3)(x + 5) = 0

x = 3, -5

For x = 3

y = 3- 3 = 0

For x = -5

y = 3 + 5 = 8

Therefore, points of intersection will be (3, 0) and (-5, 8)

Which equation represents the statement: Three times the sum of a number and 5 is –30?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

3(n+5)=-30

Step-by-step explanation:

Three times the sum of a number and 5 is - 30

Vocabulary:

times = multiplication, represented with *

sum = addition, represented by +

unknown number = n

Three * the sum of a number and 5

The sum of a number and 5 is the same as saying n + 5

So we are multiplying 3 by n + 5

Because n is an unknown variable we have to separate the sum of n and 5 from being multiplied by 3 with parenthesis. We do this because if we want to multiply 3 by the sum of n and 5. If we put 3 * n + 5 we are only multiplying the unknown variable by 3 not including the 5 that is added to it.

So we get 3( n + 5 ) is -30

3(n+5)=-30 is the answer.
