High for Tuesday is 3 degrees the high for Wednesday is 0.

Absolute value is the distance of the number from 0, so -3 and 3 have the same absolute value. 3 - 3 is 0 so that would be Wednesday’s high. I’m pretty sure.

A square with sides of 3 squareroot 2 is inscribed in a circle. what is the area of one of the sectors formed by the radii to th

mrs_skeptik [129]

Drawing this square and then drawing in the four radii from the center of the cirble to each of the vertices of the square results in the construction of four triangular areas whose hypotenuse is 3 sqrt(2). Draw this to verify this statement. Note that the height of each such triangular area is (3 sqrt(2))/2.

So now we have the base and height of one of the triangular sections.

The area of a triangle is A = (1/2) (base) (height). Subst. the values discussed above, A = (1/2) (3 sqrt(2) ) (3/2) sqrt(2). Show that this boils down to A = 9/2.

You could also use the fact that the area of a square is (length of one side)^2, and then take (1/4) of this area to obtain the area of ONE triangular section. Doing the problem this way, we get (1/4) (3 sqrt(2) )^2. Thus,
A = (1/4) (9 * 2) = (9/2). Same answer as before.

Answer:

(a) P (Y = 3) = 0.0844, P (Y ≤ 3) = 0.8780

(b) The probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation is 0.2064.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable Y is defined as the number of consecutive time intervals in which the water supply remains below a critical value y₀.

The random variable Y follows a Geometric distribution with parameter p = 0.409.

The probability mass function of a Geometric distribution is:

$P(Y=y)=(1-p)^{y}p;\ y=0,12...$

(a)

Compute the probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals as follows:

$P(Y=3)=(1-0.409)^{3}\times 0.409=0.0844279\approx0.0844$

Thus, the probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals is 0.0844.

Compute the probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals as follows:

P (Y ≤ 3) = P (Y = 0) + P (Y = 1) + P (Y = 2) + P (Y = 3)

$=(1-0.409)^{0}\times 0.409+(1-0.409)^{1}\times 0.409+(1-0.409)^{2}\times 0.409\\+(1-0.409)^{3}\times 0.409\\=0.409+0.2417+0.1429+0.0844\\=0.8780$

Thus, the probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals is 0.8780.

(b)

Compute the mean of the random variable Y as follows:

$\mu=\frac{1-p}{p}=\frac{1-0.409}{0.409}=1.445$

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

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1-p}{p^{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1-0.409}{(0.409)^{2}}}=1.88$

The probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation is:

P (Y ≥ μ + σ) = P (Y ≥ 1.445 + 1.88)

= P (Y ≥ 3.325)

= P (Y ≥ 3)

= 1 - P (Y < 3)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1) - P (X = 2)

$=1-[(1-0.409)^{0}\times 0.409+(1-0.409)^{1}\times 0.409\\+(1-0.409)^{2}\times 0.409]\\=1-[0.409+0.2417+0.1429]\\=0.2064$

Thus, the probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation is 0.2064.

The graph first represents the provided piecewise function option first is correct.

<h3>What is a piecewise function?</h3>

The graph of a piecewise function contains numerous curve components. It signifies that it has a plethora of definitions based on the value of the input. In other words, a piecewise function behaves differently depending on the input.

We have a piecewise function shown in the picture.

$\rm y=\left\{x\le-2:\sqrt{-x-2}\right\}$

$\rm y=\left\{-2 < x < 1:\dfrac{x}{x^{2}+x-2}\right\}$

$\rm y=\left\{x\ge1:\log_{2}\left(x+1\right)\right\}$

After plotting all the pieces of a function on the coordinate plane we will get a graph the same as shown in the first option.

Thus, the graph first represents the provided piecewise function option first is correct.
