Answer: Probability of randomly selecting a member who likes to cook or likes to sew = 58%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of a randomly selecting a member who likes to cook=P(C) = 42%

Probability of a randomly selecting a member who likes to sew =P(S)= 23%

Probability of a randomly selecting a member who likes to both cook and sew

$P(C\cap S)=7\%$

As we know the "Probability rules " :

$P(C\cup S)=P(C)+P(S)-P(S\cap C)\\\\P(C\cup S)=42+23-7\\\\P(C\cup S)=58$

So, Probability of randomly selecting a member who likes to cook or likes to sew = 58%

Find the slope of the line that passes through (8, 3) and (1, 9).

leonid [27]

Answer:

$-\frac{6}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

⇒ $m = \frac{9 - 3}{1 - 8}$

⇒ $m = \frac{6}{-7}$

The surface area of a cylinder is increasing at a rate of 9 pi square meters per hour. The height of the cylinder is fixed at 3

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

$9\pi \text{ cubic meters per hour}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the surface area of a cylinder,

$A= 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh$ ................(1)

Where,

r = radius,

h = height,

If $A= 36\pi\text{ square meters}, h = 3\text{ meters}$

$36\pi = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r(3)$

$18 = r^2 + 3r$

$\implies r^2 + 3r - 18=0$

$r^2 + 6r - 3r - 18 = 0$ ( by middle term splitting )

$r(r+6)-3(r+6)=0$

$(r-3)(r+6)=0$

By zero product property,

r = 3 or r = - 6 ( not possible )

Thus, radius, r = 3 meters,

Now, differentiating equation (1) with respect to t ( time ),

$\frac{dA}{dt}= 4\pi r\frac{dr}{dt} +2\pi(r\frac{dh}{dt} + h\frac{dr}{dt})$

∵ h = constant, ⇒ dh/dt = 0,

$\frac{dA}{dt} = 4\pi r \frac{dr}{dt} +2\pi h \frac{dr}{dt}$

We have, $\frac{dA}{dt}=9\pi\text{ square meters per hour}, r = h = 3\text{ meters}$

$9\pi = 4\pi (3) \frac{dr}{dt}+2\pi (3)\frac{dr}{dt}$

$9\pi = (12\pi + 6\pi )\frac{dr}{dt}$

$9\pi = 18\pi \frac{dr}{dt}$

$\implies \frac{dr}{dt} =\frac{1}{2}\text{ meter per hour}$

Now,

Volume of a cylinder,

$V=\pi r^2 h$

Differentiating w. r. t. t,

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\pi ( r^2 \frac{dh}{dt}+h(2r)\frac{dr}{dt})=\pi ((3)(6) (\frac{1}{2})) = 9\pi \text{ cubic meters per hour}$

You want to estimate the probability that a lightbulb of a famous brand will last more than 6.500 hours. You choose 10,000 bulbs

brilliants [131]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The likelihood function to estimate this probability can be written as:

mat[1000, 9800]p9580(1 - p)420

(b) The value of the maximum likelihood estimate of the probability 0.958(By taking log of expression in (a) above)

(c) when the true probability is 98%, then it implies that 9800 of 10,000 bulbs did last over 6500hours.

Therefore, the likelihood is p(9800) = mat[10000, 9800]p9800(1 - p)200

(d) Method of moments estimate is the estimation of all the parameters of the population sample.

(e) The statement is FALSE because estimates by the method of moments are not necessarily sufficient statistics, because sometimes fail to take into account all relevant information in the sample. As in the above question
