Estimate a 25% tip on a bill of $68.28 by first rounding the bill amount to the nearest ten dollars.

The function shown below was created to track the different intervals of speed that an automobile travels over a period of 28 se

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

1. The car is slowing down at a rate of 2.5mph/s

2. The greatest acceleration is 10 mph/s.

3. In the interval 4s to 16s the speed remains constant and has magnitude 25 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The deceleration of the car is from 16 seconds to 24 seconds is the slope $m$ of the graph from 16 to 24:

$m=\dfrac{\Delta speed }{\Delta time } = \dfrac{5-25}{24-16} =-2.5mph/s$

the negative sign indicates that it is deceleration.

2. The automobile experiences the greatest change in speed when the slope is greatest because that is when acceleration/deceleration is greatest.

From the graph we see that the greatest slope of the graph is between 28 and 24 seconds. The acceleration the interval is the slope $m$ :

$m= \dfrac{45-5}{28-24}= 10mph/s$

3. The automobile experiences no acceleration in the interval 4 s to 16 s—that's the graph is flat.

The speed of the automobile in that interval, as we see from the graph, is 25 mph.

Blood type AB is the rarest blood type, occurring in only 4% of the population in the United States. In Australia, only 1.5% of

Naddik [55]

Answer:

There is a 27.62% probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each U.S. resident, there are only two outcomes possible. Either they have blood type AB, or they do not. This means that we can solve this problem using binomial probability distribution concepts.

Binomial probability distribution

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

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

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

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

And $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

50 U.S residents are sampled, so $n = 50$

4% of the U.S population has blood type AB, so $p = 0.04$ .

What is the probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB?

This is P(X = 2). So:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{50,2}.(0.04)^{2}.(0.96)^{48} = 0.2762$

There is a 27.62% probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB.

The mark up on an item is $3.75. If the mark up is 35%, what was the original price? Round

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

$10.71

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3.75}{y} =\frac{35}{100}$

y × 35 = 3.75 × 100

35y = 375

35y ÷ 35 = 375 ÷ 35

$y=10\frac{5}{7}$

y = 10.7142857143

10.7142857143 round to 10.71

The slope of the line below is 0.8. Write the equation of the line in point-slope

AlexFokin [52]

The equation of the line is y = 0.8x - 1.4 if the slope of the line is 0.8 and line passes through coordinates (-2,-3)

<h3>What is a straight line?</h3>

A straight line is a combination of endless points joined on both sides of the point.

The slope 'm' of any straight line is given by:

$\rm m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The slope m = 0.8

The line passing through coordinates (-2,-3)

y = mx + c

y = 0.8x + c

Plug the point in the equation.

-3 = 0.8(-2) + c

c = -1.4

y = 0.8x - 1.4

Thus, the equation of the line is y = 0.8x - 1.4 if the slope of the line is 0.8 and line passes through coordinates (-2,-3)

The number of typing errors made by a typist has a Poisson distribution with an average of three errors per page. If more than t

damaskus [11]

Answer:

0.6472 = 64.72% probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

Poisson distribution with an average of three errors per page

This means that $\mu = 3$

What is the probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped?

Probability of at most 3 errors, so:

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

In which

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.2240$

Then

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 = 0.6472$

0.6472 = 64.72% probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped.
