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

e seniors who play the trumpet. What is the probability that a randomly selected band member is a senior given that he or she plays the trumpet

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.

Implicit Differentiation

The derivative of a constant is equal to 0

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Product Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [f(x)g(x)]=f'(x)g(x) + g'(x)f(x)$

Chain Rule: $\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Quotient Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

-y - 2x³ = y²

Rate of change of tangent line at point (-1, -2)

<u>Step 2: Differentiate Pt. 1</u>

<em>Find 1st Derivative</em>

Implicit Differentiation [Basic Power Rule]: $-y'-6x^2=2yy'$
[Algebra] Isolate <em>y'</em> terms: $-6x^2=2yy'+y'$
[Algebra] Factor <em>y'</em>: $-6x^2=y'(2y+1)$
[Algebra] Isolate <em>y'</em>: $\frac{-6x^2}{(2y+1)}=y'$
[Algebra] Rewrite: $y' = \frac{-6x^2}{(2y+1)}$

<u>Step 3: Differentiate Pt. 2</u>

<em>Find 2nd Derivative</em>

Differentiate [Quotient Rule/Basic Power Rule]: $y'' = \frac{-12x(2y+1)+6x^2(2y')}{(2y+1)^2}$
[Derivative] Simplify: $y'' = \frac{-24xy-12x+12x^2y'}{(2y+1)^2}$
[Derivative] Back-Substitute <em>y'</em>: $y'' = \frac{-24xy-12x+12x^2(\frac{-6x^2}{2y+1} )}{(2y+1)^2}$
[Derivative] Simplify: $y'' = \frac{-24xy-12x-\frac{72x^4}{2y+1} }{(2y+1)^2}$

<u>Step 4: Find Slope at Given Point</u>

[Algebra] Substitute in <em>x</em> and <em>y</em>: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-24(-1)(-2)-12(-1)-\frac{72(-1)^4}{2(-2)+1} }{(2(-2)+1)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Exponents: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-24(-1)(-2)-12(-1)-\frac{72(1)}{2(-2)+1} }{(2(-2)+1)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Multiply: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-48+12-\frac{72}{-4+1} }{(-4+1)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Add: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-36-\frac{72}{-3} }{(-3)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Exponents: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-36-\frac{72}{-3} }{9}$
[Pre-Algebra] Divide: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-36+24 }{9}$
[Pre-Algebra] Add: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-12}{9}$
[Pre-Algebra] Simplify: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-4}{3}$

Answer:

1,800, 19

Step-by-step explanation:

102,619÷57=1800 (nearest one)

How do you find perimeter

Veronika [31]

All you do is add up all your sides! So if your shape has 4+4+5+5 = 18. All you do is add them up!

Let X1, X2 and X3 be three independent random variables that are uniformly distributed between 50 and 100.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

a) the probability that the minimum of the three is between 75 and 90 is 0.00072

b) the probability that the second smallest of the three is between 75 and 90 is 0.396

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

fx(x) = { 1/5 ; 50 < x < 100

0, otherwise}

Fx(x) = { x-50 / 50 ; 50 < x < 100

1 ; x > 100

a)

n = 3

F(1) (x) = nf(x) ( 1-F(x)^n-1

= 3 × 1/50 ( 1 - ((x-50)/50)²

= 3/50 (( 100 - x)/50)²

=3/50³ ( 100 - x)²

Therefore P ( 75 < (x) < 90) = ⁹⁰∫₇₅ 3/50³ ( 100 - x)² dx

= 3/50³ [ -2 (100 - x ]₇₅⁹⁰

= (3 ( -20 + 50)) / 50₃

= 9 / 12500 = 0.00072

b)

f(k) (x) = nf(x) ( ⁿ⁻¹_k₋ ₁) ( F(x) )^k-1 ; ( 1 - F(x) )^n-k

Now for n = 3, k = 2

f(2) (x) = 3f(x) × 2 × (x-50 / 50) ( 1 - (x-50 / 50))

= 6 × 1/50 × ( x-50 / 50) ( 100-x / 50)

= 6/50³ ( 150x - x² - 5000 )

therefore

P( 75 < x2 < 90 ) = 6/50³ ⁹⁰∫₇₅ ( 150x - x² - 5000 ) dx

= 99 / 250 = 0.396
