Answer:

Dear mcdeagon,

Answer to your query is provided below:

Magnitude of -2a-3b = -18i-6j

Step-by-step explanation:

When a = 3i+9j and b = 4i-6j

Magnitude of -2a-3b will be calculated by putting value of a and b

So, -2a-3b = -2(3i+9j)-3(4i-6j)

= -6i-18j-12i+12j = -18i-6j

Can anyone help? I am stuck. Find m∠G.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadrilateral is a kite.

The angle opposite to angle H is equal to angle H.

Angle F = 110 degrees

Angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360 degrees.

60 + 110 + 110 + G = 360

280 + G = 360

G = 360 - 280

G = 80

The measure of angle G is 80 degrees.

Find the unit rate 30 degree drop in 6 hours Show your work

Lynna [10]

The unit rate is 5 degrees per hour.

Further explanation:

Unit rate is how much any quantity changes in one unit of time. For this purpose the change in quantity is divided by the time taken for that change.

Given

$Change\ in\ temperature= C= 30\ degrees\\Time=t=6 hours\\So,\\Unit\ rate= \frac{C}{t}\\Putting\ the\ values\\=\frac{30}{6}\\=5\ degrees\ per\ hour$

The unit rate is 5 degrees per hour.

Answer:

(a) The probability distribution of the random variable X is Binomial.

(b) The mean and standard deviation of the 25-question test are 5 and 2 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the number of correct answers given by a person who is guessing each answer on a 25-question exam.

There are five possible answer for every question.

This implies that the probability of getting a correct answer is:

P (X) = 0.20.

There are a total of n = 25 questions.

Every answer is independent of the others.

(a)

The random variable X has finite number of independent trials (i.e. 25 questions). There are only two outcomes for each trial, i.e. Success = correct answer and Failure = wrong answer. Each trial has the same probability of success (, i.e. P (X) = 0.25).

Thus, the probability distribution of the random variable X is Binomial with parameters n = 25 and p = 0.20.

(b)

Compute the mean of the random variable X as follows:

$E(X)=np\\=25\times 0.20\\=5$

Compute the standard deviation of the random variable X as follows:

$SD(X)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}\\=\sqrt{25\times 0.20\times (1-0.20)}\\=2$

Thus, the mean and standard deviation of the 25-question test are 5 and 2 respectively.

(c)

The sample is large and the probability of success is close to 0.50.

So a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied to approximate the distribution of X if the following conditions are satisfied:

1. np ≥ 5

2. n(1 - p) ≥ 5

Check the conditions as follows:

$np=25\times 0.20=5=5\\\\n(1-p)=25\times (1-0.20)=20>5$

Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.

So, $X\sim N(5, 2^{2})$

It is provided that the minimum passing score foe the test is such that only 1% of students who are guessing will pass the test.

That is P (X < x) = 0.01.

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.01

The value of z is -2.33.

Compute the value of x as follows:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-2.33=\frac{x-5}{2}\\\\x=5-(2.33\times 2)\\\\x=0.34$

Thus, the value of x is 0.34.
