Which operation should be performed first for calculations involving more than one arithmetic operation?

1 answer:

6 0

Operations are performed according to the Order of Operations. Sometimes the mnemonic PEMDAS or BIDMAS is used to remind you what the order is.

P/B - parentheses/brackets. The content of these is evaluated first.

E/I - exponents/indices. Exponentiation is done first, right to left: a^b^c = a^(b^c).

MD/DM - multiplication and division are done in order of appearance, left to right. Each has equal priority, neither is done before the other unless it appears in the expression first. a/bc = (a/b)c. ab/c = (ab)/c

AS - addition and subtraction are done in order of appearance, left to right. Each has equal priority.
_____
When functions are involved (sin( ), log( ), sqrt( ), for example), their arguments are evaluated according to the order of operations, then the function is evaluated, then the remainder of the operations are performed. For example, sin(a)^2 = (sin(a))^2. Sometimes, this is written sin^2(a).

When functions are written without parentheses around their arguments, it must be assumed that the function only applies to the first entity following the function name. log ab+c/d = (log(a)*b)+(c/d), for example, or √3x = (√3)x.

Suppose that a basketball player can score on a particular shot with probability .3. Use the central limit theorem to find the a

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

(a) The probability that the number of successes is at most 5 is 0.1379.

(b) The probability that the number of successes is at most 5 is 0.1379.

(d) The probability that the number of successes is at most 11 is 0.9357.

→ All the exact probabilities are more than the approximated probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S = a basketball player scores a shot.

The probability that a basketball player scores a shot is, P (S) = p = 0.30.

The number of sample selected is, n = 25.

The random variable $S\sim Bin(25,0.30)$

According to the central limit theorem if the sample taken from an unknown population is large then the sampling distribution of the sample proportion ( $\hat p$ ) follows a normal distribution.

The mean of the the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is: $E(\hat p)=p=0.30$

The standard deviation of the the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is:

$SD(\hat p)=\sqrt{\frac{ p(1- p)}{n} }=\sqrt{\frac{ 0.30(1-0.30)}{25} }=0.092$

(a)

Compute the probability that the number of successes is at most 5 as follows:

The probability of 5 successes is: $p=\frac{5}{25} =0.20$

$P(\hat p\leq 0.20)=P(\frac{\hat p-E(\hat p)}{SD(\hat p)}\leq \frac{0.20-0.30}{0.092} )\\=P(Z\leq -1.087)\\=1-P(Z$

**Use the standard normal table for probability.

Thus, the probability that the number of successes is at most 5 is 0.1379.

The exact probability that the number of successes is at most 5 is:

$P(S\leq 5)={25\choose 5}(0.30)^{5}91-0.30)^{25-5}=0.1935$

The exact probability is more than the approximated probability.

(b)

Compute the probability that the number of successes is at most 7 as follows:

The probability of 5 successes is: $p=\frac{7}{25} =0.28$

$P(\hat p\leq 0.28)=P(\frac{\hat p-E(\hat p)}{SD(\hat p)}\leq \frac{0.28-0.30}{0.092} )\\=P(Z\leq -0.2174)\\=1-P(Z$

**Use the standard normal table for probability.

Thus, the probability that the number of successes is at most 7 is 0.4129.

The exact probability that the number of successes is at most 7 is:

$P(S\leq 57)={25\choose 7}(0.30)^{7}91-0.30)^{25-7}=0.5118$

The exact probability is more than the approximated probability.

(c)

Compute the probability that the number of successes is at most 9 as follows:

The probability of 5 successes is: $p=\frac{9}{25} =0.36$

$P(\hat p\leq 0.36)=P(\frac{\hat p-E(\hat p)}{SD(\hat p)}\leq \frac{0.36-0.30}{0.092} )\\=P(Z\leq 0.6522)\\=0.7422$

**Use the standard normal table for probability.

Thus, the probability that the number of successes is at most 9 is 0.7422.

The exact probability that the number of successes is at most 9 is:

$P(S\leq 9)={25\choose 9}(0.30)^{9}91-0.30)^{25-9}=0.8106$

The exact probability is more than the approximated probability.

(d)

Compute the probability that the number of successes is at most 11 as follows:

The probability of 5 successes is: $p=\frac{11}{25} =0.44$

$P(\hat p\leq 0.44)=P(\frac{\hat p-E(\hat p)}{SD(\hat p)}\leq \frac{0.44-0.30}{0.092} )\\=P(Z\leq 1.522)\\=0.9357$

**Use the standard normal table for probability.

Thus, the probability that the number of successes is at most 11 is 0.9357.

The exact probability that the number of successes is at most 11 is:

$P(S\leq 11)={25\choose 11}(0.30)^{11}91-0.30)^{25-11}=0.9558$

The exact probability is more than the approximated probability.

What is the best approximation of the projection of (5,-1) onto (2,6)?

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Hence, the scalar projection of $\vec a$ onto $\vec b$ = $\frac{\sqrt{10} }{5}$ , and the vector projection of $\vec a$ onto $\vec b$ = $\frac{1}{5} \hat i+\frac{3}{5} \hat j$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given two points $(5, -1)$ and $(2, 6)$ .

Let, $\vec a=5\hat {i}-\hat {j}$ and $\vec b= 2\hat {i}+6\hat{j}$ .

and we have calculate the projection of $\vec a$ onto $\vec b$ .

Now,

For the calculation of projection, first we need to calculate the dot product of $\vec a$ and $\vec b$ .

$\vec a.\vec b=(5\hat {i}-\hat{j}).(2\hat{i}+6\hat{j})$

$=10-6$

$=4$

then, we have to calculate the magnitude of $\vec b$ .

$\mid {\vec {b}}\mid$ = $\sqrt{2^{2}+6^{2} }$ = $\sqrt{40}$ = $2\sqrt{10}$ .

Now, the scalar projection of $\vec a$ onto $\vec b$ = $\frac{\vec a.\vec b}{\mid b\mid}$

= $\frac{4}{2\sqrt{10} }$ $\frac{2}{\sqrt{10} } \times\frac{\sqrt{10} }{\sqrt{10} } =\frac{2\sqrt{10} }{10} = \frac{\sqrt{10} }{5}$

and the vector projection of $\vec a$ onto $\vec b$ = $\frac{\vec a. \vec b}{\mid\vec b \mid^{2} } . \vec b$

= $\frac{4}{40} . (2\hat i+ 6\hat j)$

= $\frac{1}{5} \hat i+\frac{3}{5} \hat j$

Hence, the scalar projection of $\vec a$ onto $\vec b$ = $\frac{\sqrt{10} }{5}$ , and the vector projection of $\vec a$ onto $\vec b$ = $\frac{1}{5} \hat i+\frac{3}{5} \hat j$ .
