Answer: f(x) = -0.016x² + 1.6x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lenght of the road over the arch is 100m, we can consider a coordinate plane and say that the road starts at point (0,0) and finishes at (100,0). The vertice of the parabola is at point (50,40), because the maximum height is 40 and it is always in the middle point of the roots.

So, we have

(0,0) (50,40) (100,0)

A quadratic function is always on the form: f(x) = ax² + bx + c

0 = a0² + b0 + c

40 = a50² + b50 + c

0 = a100² + b100 + c

0 = a0² + b0 + c → c = 0 ∴

40 = a50² + b50

0 = a100² + b100

_________________________

2500a + 50b = 40 (*2)

10000a + 100b = 0

_________________________

5000a + 100b = 80

10000a + 100b = 0 (-)

__________________________

-5000a = 80

-a=80/5000

a=-0.016

∴

2500a + 50b = 40

2500.(-0.016) + 50b = 40

-40 + 50b = 40

50b = 80

b = 80/50

b = 1.6

This way f(x) = -0.016x² + 1.6x

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.

Every year Ethan earns $38428each year he spends $ 21728 on exspenses how much she he have left over
astraxan [27]

Answer:

$16,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract: 38428

               <u>-21728</u>

                16700

You will need to add 10 to the hundred's place by subtracting 1 from the thousandth's place: 37,4(+10)28.  Then you subtract as usual.
