Answer:

H(t)=-20\text{cos}(\frac{\pi}{12}t)+60

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the desert temperature, H, oscillates daily between 40◦F at 5 am and 80◦F at 5 pm. We are asked to write a formula H in terms of t, measured in hours from 5 am.

We will use cosine function to write our required formula.

y=A\text{cos}[B(x-C)]+D, where,

A = Amplitude,

\text{Period}=\frac{2\pi}{|B|}

C = Phase shift,

D = Vertical shift.

First of all, we will find amplitude using maximum and minimum values as:

A=\frac{\text{Maximum value}-\text{Minimum value}}{2}

A=\frac{80-40}{2}

A=\frac{40}{2}

A=20

Since period is 24 hours (5 am to 5 pm), so let us find B as:

24=\frac{2\pi}{|B|}

B=\frac{2\pi}{24}

B=\frac{\pi}{12}

\text{Vertical shift}=\frac{\text{Maximum value}+\text{Minimum value}}{2}

D=\frac{80+40}{2}=\frac{120}{2}=60

There is no phase shift.

Since temperature is minimum when t=0, so we will use negative cosine as:

H(t)=-20\text{cos}(\frac{\pi}{12}t)+60

Therefore, our required function would be H(t)=-20\text{cos}(\frac{\pi}{12}t)+60.

You decided to throw a fair die four times.
Finger [1]

Answer:

If all you care about is whether you roll 2 or not, you get a Binomial distribution with an individual success probability 1/6. The probability of rolling 2 at least two times, is the same as the probability of not rolling 2 at zero or one time.

the answer is, 1 - bin(k=0, n=4, r=1/6) - bin(k=1, n=4, r=1/6). This evaluates to about 13%, just like your result (you just computed all three outcomes satisfying the proposition rather than the two that didn’t).

I'm having trouble figuring out what the equation is for the trend line and what the slope is
Talja [164]

Answer:

The equation for the trend line would be y = -1/100x + 25

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the trend line, we first need to find the slope. To do so, we need to find two points on the line. The points we'll use are (0, 25) and (2500, 0). Next, we use the slope formula.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (0 - 25)/(2500 - 5)

m = -25/2500

m = -1/100

Now that we have this we can use the slope and the intercept in slope intercept form to model the trend line.

y = mx + b

y = -1/100x + 25

The number of stamps that kaye and alberto had were in the ratio 5 : 3, respectively. after kaye gave alberto 10 of her stamps,
Gala2k [10]
K:A
5:3 (before)
15:9

since the total number of stamps didn't change, the total ratio should be the same.

7:5(after)
14:10

so this means 1 unit is 10stamps.

14-10=4
4 X 10= 40

Kaye have 40 more stamps than Alberto.
