A ball is thrown upward from the top of a building. The function below shows the height of the ball in relation to sea level f(t

) in feet at different times ,t, in seconds : f(t)=-16t^2+32t+90
The average rate of change of f(t) from t=4 seconds to t=6 seconds is______ feet per second .

It is given that f(t) = -16t² + 32t + 90
<span>The average rate of change will be calculated as following
</span>
rate \ of \ change =  \frac{f( t_{2})-f( t_{1})}{ t_{2} - t_{1}}

At t₁ = 4 ⇒⇒⇒ f(t₁) = -16*(4)² + 32*(4) + 90 = -38
At t₂ = 6 ⇒⇒⇒ f(t₂) = -16*(6)² + 32*(6) + 90 = -294

∴ rate \ of \ change =  \frac{(-294)-(-38)}{6-4}= \frac{-256}{2}=-128\ ft/sec.

<span>So, The average rate of change of f(t) from t = 4 seconds to t = 6 seconds is 128 feet per second . </span>

The probability that a randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunk will live to be 4 years old is 0.96516.
mezya [45]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a:

a) The probability that two randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will live to be 4 years old is 0.93153 = 93.153%.

b) The probability that six randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will live to be 4 years old is 0.80834 = 80.834%.

c) The probability that at least one of six randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will not live to be 4 years old is 0.19166 = 19.166%. This probability is not unusual, as it is greater than 5%.

-----------

For each chipmunk, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will live to be 4 years old, or they will not. The probability of a chipmunk living is independent of any other chipmunk, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution  

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • 0.96516 probability of a chipmunk living through the year, thus p = 0.96516

Item a:

  • Two is P(X = 2) when n = 2, thus:

P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}(0.96516)^2(1-0.96516)^{0} = 0.9315

The probability that two randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will live to be 4 years old is 0.93153 = 93.153%.

Item b:

  • Six is P(X = 6) when n = 6, then:

P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}(0.96516)^6(1-0.96516)^{0} = 0.80834

The probability that six randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will live to be 4 years old is 0.80834 = 80.834%.

Item c:

  • At least one not living is:

P(X < 6) = 1 - P(X = 6) = 1 - 0.80834 = 0.19166

The probability that at least one of six randomly selected 3-year-old male chipmunks will not live to be 4 years old is 0.19166 = 19.166%. This probability is not unusual, as it is greater than 5%.

The county fair charges $1.25 per ticket for the rides. Jermaine bought 25 tickets for the rides and spent a total of $43.75 at
satela [25.4K]
The total cost is the dependant variable and the number of tickets along with flat out price is the independent variable.

The equation would be y = 1.25x + ?

You would insert 25 for x which equals 31.25 and insert 43.75 for y.

43.75 = 31.25 + ? Then subtract 31.25 from both sides of the equation and you would get....

12.5 = ?

That is your flat rate to get in to the fair

$46 shoes; 2.9% tax some one please help me and i'm new in this site
ZanzabumX [31]
If you would like to know the value of the 2.9% tax, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2.9% tax of $46 shoes = 2.9% * 46 = 2.9/100 * 46 = $1.334

If you would like to know what is the whole price you have to pay for the shoes (including the tax), you have to add $46 and $1.334:

$46 + $1.334 = $47.334
