Answer:

School needs to collect at least 144 box tops each day to meet their goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total requirement of box tops = 2,000

The number of box tops they have already received = 872

So, the box tops left = Total number required- Number of tops received

                                  =2,000 - 872

                                   = 1,128 box tops are left so far.

Number of days left = 8

So, number of minimum tops needed each day = \frac{\textrm{Total tops required}}{\textrm{Number of days left}}

                                                = \frac{1128}{8} = 141

Hence, they need to collect at least 144 box tops each day to meet their goal.

A levee was designed to protect against floods with an annual exceedance probability of 0.02. A larger flood would cause the lev
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

66.76% probability that the levee will NEVER fail in the next 20 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each year, there are only two possible outcomes. Either a levee fails during the year, or no levees fail. In each year, the probabilities of levees failing are independent from each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

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.

In this problem we have that:

A levee was designed to protect against floods with an annual exceedance probability of 0.02. This means that p = 0.02

What is the risk that the levee will NEVER fail in the next 20 years?

This is P(X = 0) when n = 20. So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}*(0.02)^{0}*.(0.98)^{20} = 0.6676

66.76% probability that the levee will NEVER fail in the next 20 years.

Check all of the functions that are odd.
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

f(x)= 4x+9

F(x)=1/x

Step-by-step explanation:

An odd function accomplish the following condition:

f(-x) = -f(x) (1)

By checking (1) on each of the next functions, we have:

f(-x) = (-x)^3 - (-x)^2  \neq -f(x) = - (x^3- x^2)

f(-x) = (-x)^5 -3(-x)^3 + 2(-x) \neq -f(x) = -x^5 +3x^3 +2x

f(-x)= -4x +9 = -f(x)

F(-x) = -1/x =-F(x)
