Milton mixed 1/2 gallons of red paint , 2/5 gallons of blue paint, 1 2/3 gallons of orange paint into a mixing barrel. How many

gallons of paint did Milton put in the barrel altogether.

2 17/30 gallons of paint altogether

because 1/2 plus 2/5 plus 1 2/3 is 77/30 and if you simplify that it is 2 7/30

سا (a) From the definition of derivatives determine dy÷dx if y = -2÷x

harina [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $y = -\dfrac{2}{x}$

Derivative of a power function $x^n$ :

$\dfrac{d}{dx}(x^n) = nx^{n-1}$

Therefore,

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-2(-1)x^{-2} = \dfrac{2}{x^2}$

According to a Yale program on climate change communication survey, 71% of Americans think global warming is happening.† (a) For

SpyIntel [72]

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

Those two functions just miss each other so there are no real solutions. Every polynomial with complex coefficients has complex solutions.

$2x^2 + 2 = 3x$

$2x^2 - 3x = -2$

$2( x^2 - \frac 3 2 x) = -2$

$x^2 - \frac 3 2 x = -1$

$x^2- \frac 3 2 x+ (\frac 3 4)^2= -1 + (\frac 3 4 )^2$

$(x - \frac 3 4)^2 = -\frac 7{16}$

$x - \frac 3 4 = \pm \sqrt{ -\frac 7{16}}$

$x = \frac 3 4 \pm \frac i 4 \sqrt{7}$

$x = \frac 1 4(3 \pm i \sqrt{7})$
