A recipe that makes 8 servings calls fir 3/5 cup of flour. Jeff modifies the recipe so that it can serve 10 . How many cups of f

lour does Jeff need

So 3/5=8 servings
x=10 servings
therefor
(3/5)/(8)=x/10 so
find x
multiply both sides by 10
(10(3/5))/8=x
(10(3/5))/8=(30/5)/8=(6)/8=6/8=3/4
he needs 3/4 cup of flower

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets name the missing point as "x"

8^2 + x^2 = 17^2

=> 64 + x^2 = 289

=> x^2 = 289 - 64

=> x^2 = 225

=> x = 15

Using a table of values, determine the solution to the equation below to the nearest fourth of a unit. 2^x=1-3^x

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is,

$2^x=1-3^x$

To determine the solution of the equation we will substitute the values of 'x' given in the options,

Option (1)

For x = -0.75

$2^{-0.75}=1-3^{-0.75}$

0.59 = 1 - 0.44

0.59 = 0.56

Since, values on both the sides are approximately same.

Therefore, x = -0.75 will be the answer.

Option (2)

For x = -1.25

$2^{-1.25}=1-3^{-1.25}$

0.42 = 1 - 0.25

0.42 = 0.75

Which is not true.

Therefore, x = -1.25 is not the answer.

Option (3)

For x = 0.75

$2^{0.75}=1-3^{0.75}$

1.68 = 1 - 2.28

1.68 = -1.28

Which is not true.

Therefore, x = 0.75 is not the answer.

Option (4)

For x = 1.25

$2^{1.25}=1-3^{1.25}$

2.38 = 1 - 3.95

2.38 = -2.95

It's not true.

Therefore, x = 1.25 is not the answer.

Let the number of chocolate chips in a certain type of cookie have a Poisson distribution. We want the probability that a cookie

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

$\lambda \geq 6.63835$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Poisson Distribution is "a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space if these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event".

Let X the random variable that represent the number of chocolate chips in a certain type of cookie. We know that $X \sim Poisson(\lambda)$

The probability mass function for the random variable is given by:

$f(x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^x}{x!} , x=0,1,2,3,4,...$

And f(x)=0 for other case.

For this distribution the expected value is the same parameter $\lambda$

$E(X)=\mu =\lambda$

On this case we are interested on the probability of having at least two chocolate chips, and using the complement rule we have this:

$P(X\geq 2)=1-P(X$

Using the pmf we can find the individual probabilities like this:

$P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^0}{0!}=e^{-\lambda}$

$P(X=1)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^1}{1!}=\lambda e^{-\lambda}$

And replacing we have this:

$P(X\geq 2)=1-[P(X=0)+P(X=1)]=1-[e^{-\lambda} +\lambda e^{-\lambda}[]$

$P(X\geq 2)=1-e^{-\lambda}(1+\lambda)$

And we want this probability that at least of 99%, so we can set upt the following inequality:

$P(X\geq 2)=1-e^{-\lambda}(1+\lambda)\geq 0.99$

And now we can solve for $\lambda$

$0.01 \geq e^{-\lambda}(1+\lambda)$

Applying natural log on both sides we have:

$ln(0.01) \geq ln(e^{-\lambda}+ln(1+\lambda)$

$ln(0.01) \geq -\lambda+ln(1+\lambda)$

$\lambda-ln(1+\lambda)+ln(0.01) \geq 0$

Thats a no linear equation but if we use a numerical method like the Newthon raphson Method or the Jacobi method we find a good point of estimate for the solution.

Using the Newthon Raphson method, we apply this formula:

$x_{n+1}=x_n -\frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}$

Where :

$f(x_n)=\lambda -ln(1+\lambda)+ln(0.01)$

$f'(x_n)=1-\frac{1}{1+\lambda}$

Iterating as shown on the figure attached we find a final solution given by:

$\lambda \geq 6.63835$
