1. SPOTLIGHTS Ship A has coordinates (–1, –2) and Ship B has coordinates (–4, 1). Both ships have their spotlights fixated on th

e same lifeboat. The light beam from Ship A travels along the line y = 2x. The light beam from Ship B travels along the line y = x + 5. What are the coordinates of the lifeboat?

Answer:

( 5 , 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- There are two ships, A and B, currently located by their respective coordinates in the cartesian coordinate system:

          <u>Position of ship A: ( - 1 , -2 )</u>

          <u>Position of ship B: ( -4 , 1 )</u>

- Both ships try to locate a lifeboat. The spotlights used by each ship are modelled as straight line functions of cartesian coordinate originating from their respective ships.

- Spot lights for each ship were able to locate the same lifeboat. The respective spotlights are modelled by the following functions:

         <u>Spotlight Ship A: y = 2x</u>

         <u>Spotlight Ship B: y = x + 5 </u>

- To locate the position of the lifeboat with respect to the origin ( 0 , 0 ) we will use the spotlight model functions and equate them. This is because the spotlights must converge or meet at the position of lifeboat provided the lifeboat is found by both ships.

- Therefore,

       

         Spotlight A = Spotlight B

         y = 2x = x + 5

         2x = x + 5

         x = 5 , y = 10

<u>Answer:</u> <em>The two spotlight meet at the coordinates ( 5 , 10 ). This is also the position of the lifeboat located by both the ships</em><em>. </em>

There are 3 blue marbles, 6 red marbles, 2 green marbles and 1 black marble in a bag. Suppose you select one marble at random. F
laila [671]

Answer:

For blue its 3/12 = 1/4 = 25%

For red it's 6/12= 1/2= 50%

For green 2/12= 1/6= 17%

For black 1/12= 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is add up all the marbles 3 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 12 and then you put the number of marbles for each color and divide it by 12 which gives you those percentages. I don't know if you wanted the answers in percentages or fractions so I gave you both . Good luck!!

For a fair coin, suppose you toss the coin 100 times.

Using the normal distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0005 = 0.05% probability of getting more than 66 heads.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma is given by:

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

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
  • The binomial distribution is the probability of x successes on n trials, with p probability of a success on each trial. It can be approximated to the normal distribution with \mu = np, \sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}.

For the binomial distribution, the parameters are given as follows:

n = 100, p = 0.5.

Hence the mean and the standard deviation of the approximation are given as follows:

  • \mu = np = 100(0.5) = 50.
  • \sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{100(0.5)(0.5)} = 5

Using continuity correction, the probability of getting more than 66 heads is P(X > 66 + 0.5) = P(X > 66.5), which is <u>one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 66.5</u>.

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

Z = \frac{66.5 - 50}{5}

Z = 3.3

Z = 3.3 has a p-value of 0.9995.

1 - 0.9995 = 0.0005.

0.0005 = 0.05%
