Answer:

a) 0.2741 = 27.41% probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring

b) 0.7611 = 76.11% probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring

Step-by-step explanation:

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}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

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

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

p = 0.71

(a) For a sample of 16 Americans, what is the probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring?

Here n = 16, we want P(X \geq 13). So

P(X \geq 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 13) = C_{16,13}.(0.71)^{13}.(0.29)^{3} = 0.1591

P(X = 14) = C_{16,14}.(0.71)^{14}.(0.29)^{2} = 0.0835

P(X = 15) = C_{16,15}.(0.71)^{15}.(0.29)^{1} = 0.0273

P(X = 16) = C_{16,16}.(0.71)^{16}.(0.29)^{0} = 0.0042

P(X \geq 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) = 0.1591 + 0.0835 + 0.0273 + 0.0042 = 0.2741

0.2741 = 27.41% probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring

(b) For a sample of 160 Americans, what is the probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring?

Now n = 160. So

\mu = E(X) = np = 160*0.71 = 113.6

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{160*0.71*0.29} = 5.74

Using continuity correction, this is P(X \geq 110 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 109.5), which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 109.5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{109.5 - 113.6}{5.74}

Z = -0.71

Z = -0.71 has a pvalue of 0.2389

1 - 0.2389 = 0.7611

0.7611 = 76.11% probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring

If 13cos theta -5=0 find sin theta +cos theta / sin theta -cos theta​
Ivahew [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Need to FinD :</h3>

  • We have to find the value of (sinθ + cosθ)/(sinθ - cosθ), when 13 cosθ - 5 = 0.

\red{\frak{Given}} \begin{cases} & \sf {13\ cos \theta\ -\ 5\ =\ 0\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \big\lgroup Can\ also\ be\ written\ as \big\rgroup} \\ & \sf {cos \theta\ =\ {\footnotesize{\dfrac{5}{13}}}} \end{cases}

Here, we're asked to find out the value of (sinθ + cosθ)/(sinθ - cosθ), when 13 cosθ - 5 = 0. In order to find the solution we're gonna use trigonometric ratios to find the value of sinθ and cosθ. Let us consider, a right angled triangle, say PQR.

Where,

  • PQ = Opposite side
  • QR = Adjacent side
  • RP = Hypotenuse
  • ∠Q = 90°
  • ∠C = θ

As we know that, 13 cosθ - 5 = 0 which is stated in the question. So, it can also be written as cosθ = 5/13. As per the cosine ratio, we know that,

\rightarrow {\underline{\boxed{\red{\sf{cos \theta\ =\ \dfrac{Adjacent\ side}{Hypotenuse}}}}}}

Since, we know that,

  • cosθ = 5/13
  • QR (Adjacent side) = 5
  • RP (Hypotenuse) = 13

So, we will find the PQ (Opposite side) in order to estimate the value of sinθ. So, by using the Pythagoras Theorem, we will find the PQ.

Therefore,

\red \bigstar {\underline{\underline{\pmb{\sf{According\ to\ Question:-}}}}}

\rule{200}{3}

\sf \dashrightarrow {(PQ)^2\ +\ (QR)^2\ =\ (RP)^2} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {(PQ)^2\ +\ (5)^2\ =\ (13)^2} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {(PQ)^2\ +\ 25\ =\ 169} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {(PQ)^2\ =\ 169\ -\ 25} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {(PQ)^2\ =\ 144} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {PQ\ =\ \sqrt{144}} \\ \\ \\ \dashrightarrow {\underbrace{\boxed{\pink{\frak{PQ\ (Opposite\ side)\ =\ 12}}}}_{\sf \blue{\tiny{Required\ value}}}}

∴ Hence, the value of PQ (Opposite side) is 12. Now, in order to determine it's value, we will use the sine ratio.

\rightarrow {\underline{\boxed{\red{\sf{sin \theta\ =\ \dfrac{Opposite\ side}{Hypotenuse}}}}}}

Where,

  • Opposite side = 12
  • Hypotenuse = 13

Therefore,

\sf \rightarrow {sin \theta\ =\ \dfrac{12}{13}}

Now, we have the values of sinθ and cosθ, that are 12/13 and 5/13 respectively. Now, finally we will find out the value of the following.

\rightarrow {\underline{\boxed{\red{\sf{\dfrac{sin \theta\ +\ cos \theta}{sin \theta\ -\ cos \theta}}}}}}

  • By substituting the values, we get,

\rule{200}{3}

\sf \dashrightarrow {\dfrac{sin \theta\ +\ cos \theta}{sin \theta\ -\ cos \theta}\ =\ {\footnotesize{\dfrac{\Big( \dfrac{12}{13}\ +\ \dfrac{5}{13} \Big)}{\Big( \dfrac{12}{13}\ -\ \dfrac{5}{13} \Big)}}}} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {\dfrac{sin \theta\ +\ cos \theta}{sin \theta\ -\ cos \theta}\ =\ {\footnotesize{\dfrac{\dfrac{17}{13}}{\dfrac{7}{13}}}}} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {\dfrac{sin \theta\ +\ cos \theta}{sin \theta\ -\ cos \theta}\ =\ \dfrac{17}{13} \times \dfrac{13}{7}} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {\dfrac{sin \theta\ +\ cos \theta}{sin \theta\ -\ cos \theta}\ =\ \dfrac{17}{\cancel{13}} \times \dfrac{\cancel{13}}{7}} \\ \\ \\ \dashrightarrow {\underbrace{\boxed{\pink{\frak{\dfrac{sin \theta\ +\ cos \theta}{sin \theta\ -\ cos \theta}\ =\ \dfrac{17}{7}}}}}_{\sf \blue{\tiny{Required\ value}}}}

∴ Hence, the required answer is 17/7.

I need to solve this for my math homework asap thanks
Pachacha [2.7K]
You know the angle sum of a square is 360 degrees.
So,
360=70+120+86+x
360=276+x
Then you solve for x by isolating it (minus 276 on both sides)
360-276=276-276+x
84=x

The last angle is 84 degrees.
Have a nice day:)

V(x)=x^2-25
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

  -∞ < x < -5 ∪ -5 < x < -3/2 ∪ -3/2 < x < ∞

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of any polynomial is "all real numbers." The domain of any rational function excludes any values of the variable that result in the denominator being 0. The function is "undefined" there.

__

  v(x)=\dfrac{x^2-25}{2x^2+13x+15}=\dfrac{(x+5)(x-5)}{(x+5)(2x+3)}\qquad x\notin \{-5,-\dfrac{3}{2}\}

The values x=-5 and x=-3/2 make the denominator of v(x) become 0, so those values are excluded from the domain of v(x). The function is "undefined" when its denominator is zero.

  -∞ < x < -5 ∪ -5 < x < -3/2 ∪ -3/2 < x < ∞

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The numerator and denominator factors (x+5) cancel each other, so there is no vertical asymptote at x=-5. Rather, the function has a "hole" there, where it is undefined. The limit as the function approaches x=-5 from either direction is v(x) = 10/7.
