Choose the correct conic section to fit the equation.x 2+ y 2= 9A. CircleB. EllipseC. ParabolaD. Hyperbola

1 answer:

7 0

we have to choose the correct conic section to fit the equation.x ^2+ y^ 2= 9. we know the equation of a circle is x^2 + y^2 = r^2

and if we compare both the equations we find that both are similar and we can even find the value of r by comparing both the equations.

So the correct conic section is circle

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw a line from the origin (0,0) to L ( the original point ) and a different line from the origin to the image L' you can see the angle of rotation as being

90 degrees and that the rotation is clockwise.

the rule is (x, y) become ( y, -x)

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

a) 21.58% probability that exactly 3 people are repeat offenders

b) 97.91% probability that at least one person is a repeat offender

c) 3.69

d) 1.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

9% of all drivers arrested for DUI (Driving Under the Influence) are repeat offenders

This means that $p = 0.09$

41 people arrested for DUI in Illinois are selected at random.

This means that $n = 41$

a. What is the probability that exactly 3 people are repeat offenders?

This is P(X = 3).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{41,3}.(0.09)^{3}.(0.91)^{38} = 0.2158$

21.58% probability that exactly 3 people are repeat offenders

b. What is the probability that at least one person is a repeat offender?

Either none are repeat offenders, or at least one is. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 1)$ .

Then

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = 0) = C_{41,0}.(0.09)^{0}.(0.91)^{41} = 0.0209$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0209 = 0.9791$

97.91% probability that at least one person is a repeat offender

c. What is the mean number of repeat offenders?

$E(X) = np = 41*0.09 = 3.69$

d. What is the standard deviation of the number of repeat offenders?

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{41*0.09*0.91} = 1.83$
