Explanation:

Only few supernova are observed in our galaxy -

Type II supernovae ( i.e. the explosions of the massive stars ) occurred in the Milky Way, and they might be hidden by the intervening dust if they are located in the more distant parts of our Galaxy .

Type Ia supernovae , which need a white dwarf star in the binary star system , are brighter than the type II supernovae , but some of them could also happen in the older parts of Galaxy which are hidden due to the buildup of the dust and gas .

In a large restaurant an average 60% customers ask for water with their meal. A random sample of 10 customers is selected. Find

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) $P(6)=0.25$

b) $p(x$

c) $p(x\geq3)=0.9878$

d) $\sigma=\sqrt{2.4}=1.5492$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Population percentage $p_\%=\60%$

Sample size $n=10$

Let x =customers ask for water

Let y =customers dose not ask for water with their meal

Generally the equation for y is mathematically given by

$y=1-p_\%\\y=1-0.60\\y=0.40$

Generally the equation for pmf p(x) is mathematically given by

$P(x)=10C_x (0..6)^x(0.4)^{10-x}$

Generally the probability that exactly 6 ask for water is mathematically given by

$P(x)6=10C_6 (0..6)^6(0.4)^{10-6}$

$P(6)=0.25$

Generally the probability that less than 9 ask for water with meal is mathematically given by

$p(xg)$

$p(x$

Generally the probability that at least 3 ask for water with meal is mathematically given by

$p(x\geq3)=1-p(x$

$p(x\geq3)=1-[p(0)+p(1)+p(2)]$

$p(x\geq3)=1-[0.00001+0.0015+0.0106]$

$p(x\geq3)=1-[0.0122]$

$p(x\geq3)=0.9878$

Generally the mean and standard deviation of sample size is mathematically given by

Mean

$\=x=np=10(0.6)=6$

Standard deviation

$v(x)=npq=10(0.6)(0.4)=2.4$

$\sigma=\sqrt{2.4}=1.5492$

Why is it important to select a coordinate system when studying motion?

kvv77 [185]

Motion is detected when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point. Coordinate system is basically used to represent motion. A coordinate system uses numbers or coordinates which represent position of the reference points on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. The trajectory of a point or line can be studied on a coordinate system which describes various aspects of motion like velocity, acceleration, distance, displacement etc. Coordinate system is important because it helps to choose a starting point and the direction (which will be positive).

Earth's gravitational field is strongest at _______.

Serga [27]

Earth's gravity is stronger at the poles than the equator for two reasons: The centrifugal "force" cancels out the gravity minimally, more so at the equator than at the poles.

Simone is walking her dog on a leash. The dog is pulling with force of 34 N to the right and simone is pulling backward with a f

e-lub [12.9K]

I do not understand the full question, however if you are wondering which way Simone and the dog will go, they will go right because the force of 34 N from the dog is higher than the force of 16 N from Simone.
