Answer:

Option B) 120 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Company charges per day for a car rent = $80

and per mile driven = $0.15

Juliet rented a car for one day and she was charged a total = $98

Let Juliet traveled x miles

$80 + $0.15x = $98

0.15x = 98 - 80

0.15x = 18

x = $\frac{18}{0.15}$

x = 120 miles

Juliet was charged for 120 miles driving.

Answer:

B) 120

Step-by-step explanation:

m = miles

$98=$80+$0.15m

$98-$80=$80-$80+$0.15m

$18=$0.15m

$18/$0.15=$0.15m/$0.15

120=m

Juliet drove 120 miles for $98.

(this is a good explanation, I guess)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A 45 degree angle in a right triangle produces 2 equal sides. In this case z and the perpendicular line are equal. So that's were we'll start. Then you move on to the 60 degree angle to get x and y.

Finding z

z^2 + z^2 = (24√2) Combine the left

2z^2 = 24^2 * 2 Divide both sides by 2

2z^2/2 = 24^2/2

z^2 = 24^2 Take the square root of both sides

√z^2 = √24^2

z = 24

Finding x and y

The perpendicular = 24. Because it is a 60 degree angle that's given, we can do this without a calculator.

Tan 60 = opposite over adjacent

sqrt(3) = Perpendicular / z Multiply both sides by z

z*sqrt(3) = perpendicular

The above calculation tells us the perpendicular is 24

z*sqrt(3) = 24 Divide by sqrt 3

z = 24/√3

z = 24/1.73

z = 8√3

Finding x

Use Pythagoras to determine x

Perpendicular^2 + (8√3)^2 = x^2

24^2 + 8^2*3 = x^2

576 + 192 = x^2

768 = x^2

√x^2 = √768

x = 27.71

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

a) 0.2741 = 27.41% probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring

b) 0.7611 = 76.11% probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring

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:

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

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$p = 0.71$

(a) For a sample of 16 Americans, what is the probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring?

Here $n = 16$ , we want $P(X \geq 13)$ . So

$P(X \geq 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16)$

In which

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

$P(X = 13) = C_{16,13}.(0.71)^{13}.(0.29)^{3} = 0.1591$

$P(X = 14) = C_{16,14}.(0.71)^{14}.(0.29)^{2} = 0.0835$

$P(X = 15) = C_{16,15}.(0.71)^{15}.(0.29)^{1} = 0.0273$

$P(X = 16) = C_{16,16}.(0.71)^{16}.(0.29)^{0} = 0.0042$

$P(X \geq 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) = 0.1591 + 0.0835 + 0.0273 + 0.0042 = 0.2741$

0.2741 = 27.41% probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring

(b) For a sample of 160 Americans, what is the probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring?

Now $n = 160$ . So

$\mu = E(X) = np = 160*0.71 = 113.6$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{160*0.71*0.29} = 5.74$

Using continuity correction, this is $P(X \geq 110 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 109.5)$ , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 109.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{109.5 - 113.6}{5.74}$

$Z = -0.71$

$Z = -0.71$ has a pvalue of 0.2389

1 - 0.2389 = 0.7611

0.7611 = 76.11% probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring
