Answer:

Probability that exactly one person says he or she enjoys the beach = 80%

Check Explanation for how to get this and which error the studemt that made the 100% claim must have made.

Step-by-step explanation:

The simulation presented is that for a series of two people sample.

Numbers 0 to 6 represents that the beach-goer enjoys going to the beach and numbers 7 to 9 represents that the beach-goer doesn't enjoy going to the beach.

So, the simulation is then obtained to be

(5,8) (2,7) (0,9) (0,2) (9,0) (1,9) (4,7) (0,3) (6,7) (7,5)

Using the simulation, estimate the probability that exactly one person says he or she enjoys the beach

From the simulation, the ones with exactly one of the two numbers ranging from 0 to 6 to indicate enjoying going to the beach include

(5,8) (2,7) (0,9) (9,0) (1,9) (4,7) (6,7) (7,5)

The probability of an event is defined and expressed as the number of elements in that event divided by the total number of elements in the sample space.

Probabilty that exactly one person says he or she enjoys the beach = (8/10) = 0.80 = 80%

The student claims that this probability is 100%, but the other two simulations that did not satisfy the condition of exactly one person saying that he or she enjoys the beach include

(0,2) and (0,3), which show that in the two cases, the two participants both expressed enjoying going to the beach.

The student's error must have been in counting these two simulations as part of 'exactly one person saying he or she enjoys the beach' which is indeed an error.

Hope this Helps!!!

leva [86]

Answer:

The answer is " $\sqrt{12.5}$ "

Step-by-step explanation:

$\to (3,2), \ (6,1)$

Distance $=\sqrt{9+1}=\sqrt{10}$

midpoint height $=\sqrt{10+2.5}=\sqrt{12.5}$

let

Gradient $= \frac{1}{-3}$

Perpendicular Gradient $= 3$

midpoints $= (4.5, 1.5)$

Similar to perpendicular

Now I'll obtain the perpendicular bisector solution

An equation of the center circle $(4.5,1.5)$ radius will be $\sqrt{12.5}$ .

Use the graph of f '(x) below to find the x values of the relative maximum on the graph of f(x):

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

You have relative maximum at x=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

-Note that f' is continuous and smooth everywhere. f therefore exists everywhere on the domain provided in the graph.

f' is greater than 0 when the curve is above the x-axis.

f' greater than 0 means that f is increasing there.

f' is less than 0 when the curve is below the x-axis.

f' is less than 0 means that f is decreasing there.

Since we are looking for relative maximum(s), we are looking for when the graph of f switches from increasing to decreasing. That forms something that looks like this '∩' sort of.

This means we are looking for when f' switches from positive to negative. At that switch point is where we have the relative maximum occurring at.

Looking at the graph the switch points are at x=0, x=1, and x=2.

At x=0, we have f' is less than 0 before x=0 and that f' is greater than 0 after x=0. That means f is decreasing to increasing here. There would be a relative minimum at x=0.

At x=1, we have f' is greater than 0 before x=1 and that f' is less than 0 after x=1. That means f is increasing to decreasing here. There would be a relative maximum at x=1.

At x=2, we have f' is less than 0 before x=2 and that f' is greater than 0 after x=2. That means f is decreasing to increasing here. There would be a relative minimum at x=2.

Conclusion:

* Relative minimums at x=0 and x=2

* Relative maximums at x=1
