Answer:176 psychology textbooks and 98 Biology textbooks were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of psychology textbooks that were sold.

Let y represent the number of biology textbooks that were sold.

textbook store sold a combined total of 274 psychology and biology textbooks in a week. This means that

x + y = 274 - - - - - - - - - - -1

The number of psychology textbooks sold was 78 more than the number of biology textbooks sold. This means that

x = y + 78

Substituting x = y + 78 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 78 + y = 274

2y = 274 - 78

2y = 196

y = 98

x = y + 78 = 98 + 78

x = 176

Answer:psychology books sold=173

Biology books sold=95

Step-by-step explanation:

Psychology textbooks sold=p

Biology textbooks sold=b

P+b=274

P-78=b

P+P-78=274

2P-78=274

2P=274+78

2P=352

P=352/2

P=173

Substance P=173 in P-78=b

173-78=b

95=b b=95

The heights of a group of sixth graders' are summarized below. If another sixth grader were to be measured, what would be a good

olga nikolaevna [1]

Using the mean, median and mode we can assume that a good prediction for her height would be 55 inches.

In the given data ,

Range of the data is 10. So all the values are between 50 and 60.

mode of the data is 57 , and the mean is 55 and the median is 55

Therefore a random 6th grader can have any value between 50 and 60 since it is the range.

Now the mean and median of the function will be closest to a random value.

Hence of all the options 55 is the most efficient explanation of the central tendency of the dataset .

When the probability density function contains a large number of local maxima, the edge points of a continuous distribution are frequently referred to as the distribution's modes.

Any x value that causes the density function probability of a variate to reach a locally maximum value is often thought of as a mode, making any peak a mode.

The median is the value that divides the top and bottom halves of a large dataset, a demographic, or a probability distribution in statistics and probability theory.

Hence of all the options 55 is the most efficient explanation of the central tendency of the dataset .

A mass weighing 16 pounds stretches a spring (8/3) feet. The mass is initially released from rest from a point 2 feet below the

mezya [45]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let a mass weighing 16 pounds stretches a spring $\frac{8}{3}$ feet.

Mass= $m=\frac{W}{g}$

Mass= $m=\frac{16}{32}$

$g=32 ft/s^2$

Mass,m= $\frac{1}{2}$ Slug

By hook's law

$w=kx$

$16=\frac{8}{3} k$

$k=\frac{16\times 3}{8}=6 lb/ft$

$f(t)=10cos(3t)$

A damping force is numerically equal to 1/2 the instantaneous velocity

$\beta=\frac{1}{2}$

Equation of motion :

$m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-kx-\beta \frac{dx}{dt}+f(t)$

Using this equation

$\frac{1}{2}\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-6x-\frac{1}{2}\frac{dx}{dt}+10cos(3t)$

$\frac{1}{2}\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{dx}{dt}+6x=10cos(3t)$

$\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{dx}{dt}+12x=20cos(3t)$

Auxillary equation

$m^2+m+12=0$

$m=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{1-4(1)(12)}}{2}$

$m=\frac{-1\pmi\sqrt{47}}{2}$

$m_1=\frac{-1+i\sqrt{47}}{2}$

$m_2=\frac{-1-i\sqrt{47}}{2}$

Complementary function

$e^{\frac{-t}{2}}(c_1cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}+c_2sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2})$

To find the particular solution using undetermined coefficient method

$x_p(t)=Acos(3t)+Bsin(3t)$

$x'_p(t)=-3Asin(3t)+3Bcos(3t)$

$x''_p(t)=-9Acos(3t)-9sin(3t)$

This solution satisfied the equation therefore, substitute the values in the differential equation

$-9Acos(3t)-9Bsin(3t)-3Asin(3t)+3Bcos(3t)+12(Acos(3t)+Bsin(3t))=20cos(3t)$

$(3B+3A)cos(3t)+(3B-3A)sin(3t)=20cso(3t)$

Comparing on both sides

$3B+3A=20$

$3B-3A=0$

Adding both equation then, we get

$6B=20$

$B=\frac{20}{6}=\frac{10}{3}$

Substitute the value of B in any equation

$3A+10=20$

$3A=20-10=10$

$A=\frac{10}{3}$

Particular solution, $x_p(t)=\frac{10}{3}cos(3t)+\frac{10}{3}sin(3t)$

Now, the general solution

$x(t)=e^{-\frac{t}{2}}(c_1cos(\frac{\sqrt{47}t}{2})+c_2sin(\frac{\sqrt{47}t}{2})+\frac{10}{3}cos(3t)+\frac{10}{3}sin(3t)$

From initial condition

x(0)=2 ft

x'(0)=0

Substitute the values t=0 and x(0)=2

$2=c_1+\frac{10}{3}$

$2-\frac{10}{3}=c_1$

$c_1=\frac{-4}{3}$

$x'(t)=-\frac{1}{2}e^{-\frac{t}{2}}(c_1cos(\frac{\sqrt{47}t}{2})+c_2sin(\frac{\sqrt{47}t}{2})+e^{-\frac{t}{2}}(-c_1\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}sin(\frac{\sqrt{47}t}{2})+\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}c_2cos(\frac{\sqrt{47}t}{2})-10sin(3t)+10cos(3t)$

Substitute x'(0)=0

$0=-\frac{1}{2}\times c_1+10+\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}c_2$

$\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}c_2-\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{-4}{3}+10=0$

$\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}c_2=-\frac{2}{3}-10=-\frac{32}{3}$

$c_2==-\frac{64}{3\sqrt{47}}$

Substitute the values then we get

$x(t)=e^{-\frac{t}{2}}(-\frac{4}{3}cos(\frac{\sqrt{47}t}{2})-\frac{64}{3\sqrt{47}}sin(\frac{\sqrt{47}t}{2})+\frac{10}{3}cos(3t)+\frac{10}{3}sin(3t)$

The probability of rain =0.2, sun=0.3,cloud=0.5. What is the probability of rain and sun over a two day period?

svp [43]

Answer:

0.2752512

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula you are looking for is the binomial probability:

n!

P (X) = ------------ * (P)^X * (q)^n - X

(n- X)! X!

For your particular problem:

n=7

X=2

q = 1-p = .8

7!/(5!*2!)*(.2)^2*(.8)^5 = 0.2752512

Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D

Danae is choosing between two jobs. One job pays an annual bonus of $1,500 plus $120 per day worked. The second job pays an annu

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Job A:</u>

Bonus of $1500
$120 per day for $d$ days is 120 multiplied by $d$ . Which is $120d$
Total Payment = $1500+120d$

<u>Job B:</u>

Bonus of $2500
$110 per day for $d$ days is 110 multiplied by $d$ . Which is $110d$
Total Payment = $2500+110d$

Solving these 2 equations for $d$ would tell us after how many days both job would pay the same. Answer choice C is correct.
