The Latin Club charted a bus to travel to and participate in a state competition. The cost for each adult to ride the bus was $2

5 and the cost for each student to ride the bus was $15.
A total of 17 people rode the bus. The total paid for the bus was $305.

Let a represent the number of adults and s represent the number of students.

Finish the equations below to represent the system and then solve.

The time spent studying in hours on a daily basis of nine different students was used to create the box plot shown above. Which
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

B.) 0, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the box plot, we can obtain the 5 - Numbe summary and compare with the values in the options given :

Kindly note that each tick mark on the box plot is seperated by a unit of 0.25

Minimum = 0 (starting point of left whisker)

Lower quartile = 0.25 (start point of box)

Median = 0.5 (point in between the box)

Upper quartile = 1.25 (end point of the box)

Maximum = 2.5 (end point of right whisker)

In ascending order we have ;

0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.25, 2.5

The data which best matches the plot is 0, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2.5

USA Today reported that about 20% of all people in the United States are illiterate. Suppose you take eight people at random off
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

a) Figure and code attached

b) E(X)=\mu = np = 8*0.2= 1.6

Var(X) =\sigma^2= np(1-p) = 8*0.2*(1-0.2) = 1.28

Sd(X)=\sigma= \sqrt{1.28}= 1.131

c) P(X\geq 7) =0.97

And we can calculate this with the complement rule.

P(X \geq 7) = 1-P(X

So then we have:

P(X \leq 6) = 0.03

And we are interested on the valueof n who satisfy this expression.

And for this we can verify this with the following code:

"=BINOM.DIST(6,E54,0.2,TRUE)"

And as we can see on the second figure attached the value who satisfy the condition would be n = 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.2)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Part a

We can use the following R code to generate the histogram for this case:

> x <- seq(0,8,by = 1)

> y <- dbinom(x,8,0.2)

> plot(x,y,type = "h",main="Histogram")

And as we can see we got the result on the figure attached. And the distribution seems to be skewed to the right.

Part b

For this case the expected value is given by:

E(X)=\mu = np = 8*0.2= 1.6

The variance is given by:

Var(X) =\sigma^2= np(1-p) = 8*0.2*(1-0.2) = 1.28

And the standard deviation would be:

Sd(X)=\sigma= \sqrt{1.28}= 1.131

Part c

For this case we have the following inequality:

P(X\geq 7) =0.97

And we can calculate this with the complement rule.

P(X \geq 7) = 1-P(X

So then we have:

P(X \leq 6) = 0.03

And we are interested on the valueof n who satisfy this expression.

And for this we can verify this with the following code:

"=BINOM.DIST(6,E54,0.2,TRUE)"

And as we can see on the second figure attached the value who satisfy the condition would be n = 60.

You ask a neighbor to water a sickly plant while you are on vacation. Without water the plant will die with probability 0.7. Wit
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

0.2416

Step-by-step explanation:

P(forgot to water | dead) = P(forgot and dead) / P(dead)  

->With water it will die with probability 0.45

P(watered and dead) =0.83 x 0.45 = 0.3735

->Without water the plant will die with probability 0.7

P(forgot and dead) = (1-0.83) x 0.7 => 0.17 x 0.7 =>0.119

P(dead) =  P(watered and dead) +P(forgot and dead)

P(dead) = 0.3735 + 0.119= 0.4925

P(forgot to water | dead) =0.119 / 0.4925= 0.2416

Therefore, the probability the neighbor forgot to water the plant is 0.2416

How do I factor this? <br> 5x^2y+45x^3y^2
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

5 x^2 y (9 x y + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

45 x^3 y^2 + 5 x^2 y

Factor common terms out of 45 x^3 y^2 + 5 x^2 y.

Factor 5 x^2 y out of 45 x^3 y^2 + 5 x^2 y:

Answer: 5 x^2 y (9 x y + 1)
