Suppose that a high school marching band has 86 members. Of these 86 band members, 26 are seniors, 17 play the trumpet, and 4 ar

Answer: 0.3023

Step-by-step explanation:

86 band members

26 are senior, 17 plays trumpet. If 4 are seniors and play trumpet, we solve this using the bayes theorem of conditional probability.

Probability of choosing band member that plays trumpet =17/86 = 2/43.

Probability of choosing a senior that plays trumpet = 4/26

Probability that a chosen member is a senior given that he plays trumpet = (2/43)/(4/26)

= 0.3023.

5tanx-2cotx+1=0...... .
Verdich [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

5(tanx)^2 -2 +tanx=0

let tanx=y

5y^2 + y-2=0

y=0.5403 or y= -0.7403

tanx=0.5403

x=arctan(0.5403)

x=28.38°

or

tanx=-0.7403

x=arctan(-0.7403)

x=143.49°

IgorC [24]
<h2><u>Answer with explanation</u>:</h2>

Let \mu be the population mean.

As per given , we have

H_0:\mu \leq4\\\\ H_a: \mu >4

Since the alternative hypothesis is right-tailed , so the test is a right-tailed test.

Also, population standard deviation is given \sigma=1 , so we perform one-tailed z-test.

Test statistic : z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

, where \mu = Population mean

\sigma = Population standard deviation

n= sample size

\overline{x} = Sample mean

For n= 18 , \overline{x}=4.50 , \sigma=1 , \mu =4, we have

z=\dfrac{4.5-4}{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{18}}}\approx2.12

P-value (for right tailed test): P(z>2.12) = 1-P(z≤ 2.12)  [∵ P(Z>z)=1-P(Z≤z)]\

=1- 0.0340=0.9660

Decision : Since P-value(0.9660) > Significance level (0.01), it means we are failed to reject the null hypothesis.

[We reject null hypothesis if p-value is larger than the significance level . ]

Conclusion : We do not have sufficient evidence to show that the goal is not being met at α = .01 .

D=rt What does T equal? Lol how is this possible
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

t = D/r

Step-by-step explanation:

you rearrange the equation so that is the subject. when you bring something over the equal sign, it reverses the function so D = r×t becomes t = D/r

Please help me out please
Elanso [62]

Answer:

400 units³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of the square pyramid is

V = \frac{1}{3} area of base × height (h)

where h is the perpendicular height.

Consider the right triangle formed by a segment from the vertex to the midpoint of the base and the slant height ( the hypotenuse )

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle

h² + 5² = 13²

h² + 25 = 169 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

h² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )

h = \sqrt{144} = 12

Area of square base = 10² = 100, hence

V = \frac{1}{3} × 100 × 12 = 4 × 100 = 400
