Three rats in a lab are injected a type of medicine. The independent probabilities for each rat exhibiting side effects are 0.5,

0.4 and 0.3 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four possible values of X: 0 rats show side effects, 1 rat shows side effects, 2 rats show side effects, or all 3 rats show side effects.

Probability X = 0:

P = (1 − 0.5) (1 − 0.4) (1 − 0.3)

P = 0.21

Probability X = 1:

P = (0.5) (1 − 0.4) (1 − 0.3) + (1 − 0.5) (0.4) (1 − 0.3) + (1 − 0.5) (1 − 0.4) (0.3)

P = 0.44

Probability X = 2:

P = (0.5) (0.4) (1 − 0.3) + (0.5) (1 − 0.4) (0.3) + (1 − 0.5) (0.4) (0.3)

P = 0.29

Probability X = 3:

P = (0.5) (0.4) (0.3)

P = 0.06

Look at the left side of the graph where the curves are nearly horizontal. There you have ...
  g(-6) = f(-6) +k
  2 = -5 +k . . . . . . very nearly, and certainly "close enough"
  7 = k

The 1st selection is appropriate.

An object is launched on the moon at 16 feet per second (f/s) from a 1152-foot tall tower. The equation for the object's height
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

<em>0.5seconds later</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height modeled by the equation:

s(t) = -16t^2 + 16t + 1152

The velocity of the object at the moon surface is zero

ds(t)/dt = 0

ds(t)/dt = -32t + 16

0 = -32t + 16

32 t = 16

t = 16/32

t = 1/2

t = 0.5seconds

<em>Hence the object strikes the moon surface 0.5seconds later</em>

Which equation has the steepest parabola?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Given:

The equations of parabolas in the options.

To find:

The steepest parabola.

Solution:

We know that, if a parabola is defined as

(y-k)=n(x-h)^2

Then, the greater absolute value of n, the steeper the parabola.

It can be written as

\dfrac{1}{n}(y-k)=(x-h)^2

p(y-k)=(x-h)^2

where p=\dfrac{1}{n}, the smaller absolute value of p, the steeper the parabola.

Now, find the value of |p| for eac equation

For option A, |-0.5|=0.5

For option B, |5|=5

For option C, |8|=8

For option D, |-10|=10

Since, the equation is option A has smallest value of |p|, therefore, the equation (x+2)^2=-0.5(y+3) represents the steepest parabola.

Hence, the correct option is A.
