This question boils down to this:
"What is the diagonal of a square with a side length of 90 ft?"

The key to this question is the properties of squares.
All of the angles in a square are right, (90°) but that diagonal is going to bisect two of those into 45° angles.
Now we have two triangles, each with angle measures of 45°, 45°. and 90°.
(an isoceles right triangle)

This 45-45-90 tirnalge is one of two special triangles (the other being the 30-60-90) and here is its special property: the sides opposite these angles can be put as x, x, and x√2 respectively. Why? Well, we know that our triangle is isoceles (the congruent base angles ⇔ congruent sides) and so we call those x...by the Pythagorean theorem...a² + b² = c²...2x² = c²...x√2 = c!

In our case here, that diagonal, being the hypotenuse of our triangle, is going to be 90√2 feet, or approximately 127.3 feet.

Which are the roots of the quadratic function f(q) = q2 – 125? Select two options.
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

±11.18

Step-by-step explanation:

the function is:

f(q)=q^2-125

and to find the roots we need to find which values of q makes the function result in zero:

q^2-125=0

solving for q:

q^2=125\\q=\sqrt{125}

A square root has two solutions, one positive and one negative, so the solutions are:

q=±\sqrt{125} ≈ ±11.18

the roots of the quadratic equation are +11.18 and -11.18

4. One in four people in the US owns individual stocks. You randomly select 12 people and ask them if they own individual stocks
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

a. The mean is 3, the variance is 2.25 and the standard deviation is 1.5.

b. 0.0401 = 4.01% probability that the number of people who own individual stocks is exactly six.

c. 0.1584 = 15.84% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at least two.

d. 0.3907 = 39.07% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at most two

e. Both cases include one common outcome, that is, 2 people owning stocks, so the events are not mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they own stocks, or they do not. The probability of a person owning stocks is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

One in four people in the US owns individual stocks.

This means that p = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25

You randomly select 12 people and ask them if they own individual stocks.

This means that n = 12

a. Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation of the resulting probability distribution.

The mean of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

So

E(X) = 12(0.25) = 3

The variance is:

V(X) = np(1-p)

So

V(X) = 12(0.25)(0.75) = 2.25

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{2.25} = 1.5

The mean is 3, the variance is 2.25 and the standard deviation is 1.5.

b. Find the probability that the number of people who own individual stocks is exactly six.

This is P(X = 6). So

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

P(X = 6) = C_{12,6}.(0.25)^{6}.(0.75)^{6} = 0.0401

0.0401 = 4.01% probability that the number of people who own individual stocks is exactly six.

c. Find probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at least two.

This is:

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

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

P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{12} = 0.0317

P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{11} = 0.1267

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0317 + 0.1267 = 0.1584

0.1584 = 15.84% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at least two.

d. Find the probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at most two.

This is:

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

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

P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{12} = 0.0317

P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{11} = 0.1267

P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{10} = 0.2323

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0317 + 0.1267 + 0.2323 = 0.3907

0.3907 = 39.07% probability that the number of people who say they own individual stocks is at most two.

e. Are the events in part c. and in part d. mutually exclusive

Both cases include one common outcome, that is, 2 people owning stocks, so the events are not mutually exclusive.

Find the volume of this sphere.<br> Use 3 for TT.<br> V [?]in3<br> V = Tr3<br> 8 in
frutty [35]

Answer:

The volume of the sphere is 2048 in³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is given by:

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

Where:

r: is the radius = 8 in

Having the radius and by using 3 for π, the volume is:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3 (8 in)^{3} = 2048 in^{3}

Therefore, the volume of the sphere is 2048 in³.

I hope it helps you!
