If point P is 4/7 of the distnace frm M to N, what ratio does the point P partiion the directed line segment from M to N

Mathematics

vredina [299]4 years ago
7 0

Answer: 4:3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Point P is \dfrac{4}{7} of the distance from M to N.

To find: The ratio in which the point P partition the directed line segment from M to N.

If Point P is between points M and N, then the ratio can be written as

\dfrac{MP}{MN}=\dfrac{MP}{MP+PN}

As per given,

\dfrac{MP}{MP+PN}=\dfrac{4}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{MP+PN}{MP}=\dfrac{7}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{MP}{MP}+\dfrac{PN}{MP}=\dfrac{7}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ -1+\dfrac{PN}{MP}=\dfrac{7}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{PN}{MP}=\dfrac{7}{4}-1=\dfrac{7-4}{4}=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{PN}{MP}=\dfrac{3}{4}\ \ \or\ \dfrac{MP}{PN}=\dfrac{4}{3}

Hence, P partition the directed line segment from M to N in 4:3.

27. In constructing a confidence interval estimate of the population mean you decide to select 49 random observations to get you
Alika [10]

Answer:

1) a.) Your confidence interval estimate is narrower

2) c.) The width of a confidence interval estimate for a proportion will be narrower for 90% confidence level than for a 95% confidence level

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval can be stated as  M±ME where

  • M is the sample mean
  • ME is the margin of error

Margin of Error determines the range of the confidence interval around the mean.

Margin of error (ME) of the mean can be calculated using the formula

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic in the given confidence level
  • s is the standard deviation of the sample(or the population if it is known)
  • N is the sample size

From the formula we can reach the following conclusions:

  • As N increases, ME decreases.
  • as confidence level increases, corresponding statistic increases, and thus margin of error increases.

Since your sample size (49) is bigger than your friend's (36), your confidence interval is narrower, because margin of error is narrower.

Since the confidence level 90% has smaller statistic than the confidence level 95%, its confidence interval is narrower.

That is, we can estimate <em>narrower</em> confidence intervals with less confidence.

In the town of Maplewood a certain type of DVD player is sold at just two stores, 43% of the sales 13) are from store A and 57%
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Option A 0.312 is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that iN Maplewood a certain type of DVD player is sold at just two stores, 43% of the sales 13) are from store A and 57% of the sales are from store B. 2.4% of the DVD players sold at store A are defective while 4.0% of the DVD players sold at store B are defective.

Prob for any random item form store to be defective = Prob from A and defective +Prob from B and defective

=0.43(0.024)+0.57(0.04)\\=0.03312

Prob it came from A and defective = 0.0.43(0.024)=0.01032

If Kate receives one of these DVD players as a gift and finds that it is defective, what is the probability that it came from store A

=\frac{0.01032}{0.03312} \\=0.312

What is the conditional probability that exactly four heads appear when a fair coin is flipped five times given that the first f
Phantasy [73]

Presumably, the coin tosses are independent of one another, so

P(\text{exactly 4 heads}\mid\text{first flip is tails})=P(\text{exactly 4 heads})=\dfrac1{2^4}=\dfrac1{16}

But if the coin flips are not independent, then we can't really say anything about this probability without any more information about how the flips are related...
