Suppose each of 12 players rolls a pair of dice 3 times. Find the probability that at least 4 of the players will roll doubles a

t least once. (Answer correct to four decimal places.)

Answer:

Our answer is 0.8172

Step-by-step explanation:

P(doubles on a single roll of pair of dice) =(6/36) =1/6

therefore P(in 3 rolls of pair of dice at least one doubles)=1-P(none of roll shows a double)

=1-(1-1/6)3 =91/216

for 12 players this follows binomial distribution with parameter n=12 and p=91/216

probability that at least 4 of the players will get “doubles” at least once =P(X>=4)

=1-(P(X<=3)

=1-((₁₂ C0)×(91/216)⁰(125/216)¹²+(₁₂ C1)×(91/216)¹(125/216)¹¹+(₁₂ C2)×(91/216)²(125/216)¹⁰+(₁₂ C3)×(91/216)³(125/216)⁹)

=1-0.1828

=0.8172

(a) Find a vector parallel to the line of intersection of the planes −4x+2y−z=1 and 3x−2y+2z=1.
valentinak56 [21]

Find the intersection of the two planes. Do this by solving for <em>z</em> in terms of <em>x</em> and <em>y </em>; then solve for <em>y</em> in terms of <em>x</em> ; then again for <em>z</em> but only in terms of <em>x</em>.

-4<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em> - <em>z</em> = 1   ==>   <em>z</em> = -4<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em> - 1

3<em>x</em> - 2<em>y</em> + 2<em>z</em> = 1   ==>   <em>z</em> = (1 - 3<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em>)/2

==>   -4<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em> - 1 = (1 - 3<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em>)/2

==>   -8<em>x</em> + 4<em>y</em> - 2 = 1 - 3<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em>

==>   -5<em>x</em> + 2<em>y</em> = 3

==>   <em>y</em> = (3 + 5<em>x</em>)/2

==>   <em>z</em> = -4<em>x</em> + 2 (3 + 5<em>x</em>)/2 - 1 = <em>x</em> + 2

So if we take <em>x</em> = <em>t</em>, the line of intersection is parameterized by

<em>r</em><em>(t)</em> = ⟨<em>t</em>, (3 + 5<em>t</em> )/2, 2 + <em>t</em>⟩

Just to not have to work with fractions, scale this by a factor of 2, so that

<em>r</em><em>(t)</em> = ⟨2<em>t</em>, 3 + 5<em>t</em>, 4 + 2<em>t</em>⟩

(a) The tangent vector to <em>r</em><em>(t)</em> is parallel to this line, so you can use

<em>v</em> = d<em>r</em>/d<em>t</em> = d/d<em>t</em> ⟨2<em>t</em>, 3 + 5<em>t</em>, 4 + 2<em>t</em>⟩ = ⟨2, 5, 2⟩

or any scalar multiple of this.

(b) (-1, -1, 1) indeed lies in both planes. Plug in <em>x</em> = -1, <em>y</em> = 1, and <em>z</em> = 1 to both plane equations to see this for yourself. We already found the parameterization for the intersection,

<em>r</em><em>(t)</em> = ⟨2<em>t</em>, 3 + 5<em>t</em>, 4 + 2<em>t</em>⟩

A 12 ft ladder is leaning against a building. The ladder makes a 45 degree angle with the building how far up is the building do
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The ladder reach a height 8.485 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder with the building made right angle triangle

The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse 12 ft.

The angle between the ladder and the building is 45°

The height of the ladder reach is the vertical side of the Δ

∴ h = 12 cos 45° = 6√2 = 8.485 ft.

2. Construct Arguments An ostrich runs 6 miles
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

<u>At a constant speed of 0.5 miles per minute, the ostrich can run 20 miles in 40 minutes. The unit rate is 0.5 miles per minute.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance run by the ostrich = 6 miles

Time the ostrich takes to run this distance = 12 minutes

Speed of the ostrich = Distance / Time

Speed of the ostrich = 6 miles / 12 minutes = 0.5 miles per minute

How far the  ostrich could run in 40 minutes?

If the ostrich run 0.5 miles per minute, this is the formula:

Speed of the ostrich * 40 minutes = Distance

0.5 miles/minute * 40 minutes = 20 miles (Minutes is simplified in the numerator and the denominator on the left side)

<u>At a constant speed of 0.5 miles per minute, the ostrich can run 20 miles in 40 minutes. The unit rate is 0.5 miles per minute.</u>
