To solve this problem, there are a couple things we need to do. First of all, we need to figure out how much more she's running every day. On day 1, she ran 3/16 of a mile. On day 2, she ran 3/8 of a mile. On day 3, she ran 9/16 of a mile.

How much are we adding each time? To find that out, we need all of our fractions to have the same denominator so we can compare. Let's give 3/8 a denominator of 16. 8*2=16. What you do on one side of the fraction bar, you MUST do to the other: 3*2=6. So, 3/8 = 6/16.

Day 1: 3/16. Day 2: 6/16. Day 3: 9/16. Now do you see the pattern? Every day, she runs 3/16 of a mile more. That's the answer to part 1: 3/16.

So, how long will it take her to get over 1 mile? Let's continue. Day 3: 9/16. Day 4: 9+3=12, so that's 12/16. Day 5: 15/16. Day 6: 18/16! Since the numerator is bigger than the denominator, guess what? That's more than one mile!! So on the 6th time she runs, she ran 18/16 miles. Keep in mind that 18/16 = 9/8 = 1 1/8 miles.

Answers: 3/16; 6th; 1 1/8 (or 9/8)

Endpoint given the Midpoint: * The midpoint of RP is M(2, 4). If one of the end points is R(-1,7), find the coordinates of the o

marin [14]

Answer:

The coordinates of other point are: (5,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given coordinates are:

M(x,y) = (2,4)

R(x_1,x_2) = (-1,7)

We have to find the coordinates of other point (x2,y2)

The formula for mid-point is given by:

$M(x,y) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Putting the values we get

$(2,4) = (\frac{-1+x_2}{2}, \frac{7+y_2}{2})$

Putting respective elements equal

$\frac{-1+x_2}{2} = 2\\-1+x_2 = 2*2\\-1+x_2 = 4\\x_2 = 4+1\\x_2 = 5\\And\\\frac{7+y_2}{2} = 4\\7+y_2 = 4*2\\7+y_2 = 8\\y_2 = 8-7\\y_2 = 1$

Hence,

The coordinates of other point are: (5,1)

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

0.7995 = 79.95% probability that the sample will contain at least three defectives.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

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 distributions 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 $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
