Thanks for the full problem. You did part A correctly but wrote "large shirt" instead of "red shirt" in the denominator. You correctly used 0.35, the probability of a red shirt.

The formula for conditional probability applied here says:

P( large | red ) = P(large & red) / P(red)

We have n=100 shirts, 5 of which are large and red

P(large & red) = 5/100

P(red) = 35/100

P(large | red) = (5/100)/(35/100) = 5/35 = 1/7 = 0.14285...

Part A answer: 14.3%

P(small | red) = P(small & red) / P(red) = (30/100)/(35/100)=6/7=.8571...

Part B answer: 85.7%

Since the area of the poster doesn't change by putting it in a frame, we presume the question is asking what the area of the framed poster is.

The length of the poster in its frame is ...
(frame width on one side) + (poster length) + (frame width on the other side)
2 in + 32 in + 2 in = 36 in

Likewise, the width of the poster in its frame is ...
2 in + 24 in + 2 in = 28 in

The area of a rectangle 36 in by 28 in is the product of these dimensions:
Area = (36 in)×(28 in) = (36×28) in² = 1008 in²

HELP<br> Find the value of two numbers if their sum is 5 and their difference is 30

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The 2 numbers are -12.5 and 17.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 1 number be x then x - y = 30 where the other number is y.

y = x - 30 so the sum is:

x - 30 + x = 5

2x = 35

x = 17.5

and y = 17.5 - 30 = -12.5.

Distance between two ships At noon, ship A was 12 nautical miles due north of ship B. Ship A was sailing south at 12 knots (naut

frozen [14]

Answer:

a) $\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}$ b.) -12knots, 8 knots c) No e) $4\sqrt{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the initial distance between ships A and B was 12 nautical miles. Ship A moves at 12 knots(nautical miles per hour) south. Ship B moves at 8 knots east.

We know that at time t , the ship A has moved $12\dot t (n.m)$ and ship B has moved $8\dot t (n.m)$ . We also know that the ship A moves closer to the line of the movement of B and that ship B moves further on its line.

Using Pythagorean theorem, we can write the distance s as:

$\sqrt{(12-12\dot t)^2 + (8\dot t)^2}\\s=\sqrt{144-288t+144t^2+64t^2}\\s=\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}$

We want to find $\frac{ds}{dt}$ for t=0 and t=1

$\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}|\frac{d}{dt}\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}}\dot (-288+416t)\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{208t-144}{\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}}\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}(0)=\frac{208\dot 0-144}{\sqrt{144-288\dot 0 + 209\dot 0^2}}=-12knots\\\\\frac{ds}{dt}(1)=\frac{208\dot 1-144}{\sqrt{144-288\dot 1 + 209\dot 1^2}}=8knots$

We know that the visibility was 5n.m. We want to see whether the distance s was under 5 miles at any point.

Ships have seen each other = $s\leq 5\\\\\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}\leq 5\\\\144-288t+208t^2\leq 25\\\\199-288t+208t^2\leq 0$

Since function $f(x)=199-288x+208x^2$ is quadratic, concave up and has no real roots, we know that $199-288x+208x^2>0$ for every t. So, the ships haven't seen each other.

Attachedis the graph of s(red) and ds/dt(blue). We can see that our results from parts b and c were correct.

Function ds/dt has a horizontal asympote in the first quadrant if

$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{ds}{dt}$

So, lets check this limit:

$\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{ds}{dt}=\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{208t-144}{\sqrt{144-288t+208t^2}}\\\\=\lim_{t \to \infty} \frac{208-\frac{144}{t}}{\sqrt{\frac{144}{t^2}-\frac{288}{t}+208}}\\\\=\frac{208-0}{\sqrt{0-0+208}}\\\\=\frac{208}{\sqrt{208}}\\\\=4\sqrt{13}$

Notice that:

$4\sqrt{13}=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}$ =√(speed of ship A² + speed of ship B²)
