Before 1918, approximately 40% of the wolves in a region were male, and 60% were female. However, cattle ranchers in this area h

ave made a determined effort to exterminate wolves. From 1918 to the present, approximately 60% of wolves in the region are male, and 40% are female. Biologists suspect that male wolves are more likely than females to return to an area where the population has been greatly reduced. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) Before 1918, in a random sample of 10 wolves spotted in the region, what is the probability that 7 or more were male

Answer:

P(≥ 7 males) = 0.0548

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability distribution problem.

We are told that Before 1918;

P(male) = 40% = 0.4

P(female) = 60% = 0.6

n = 10

Thus;probability that 7 or more were male is;

P(≥ 7 males) = P(7) + P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

Now, binomial probability formula is;

P(x) = [n!/((n - x)! × x!)] × p^(x) × q^(n - x)

Now, p = 0.4 and q = 0.6.

Also, n = 10

Thus;

P(7) = [10!/((10 - 7)! × 7!)] × 0.4^(7) × 0.6^(10 - 7)

P(7) = 0.0425

P(8) = [10!/((10 - 8)! × 8!)] × 0.4^(8) × 0.6^(10 - 8)

P(8) = 0.0106

P(9) = [10!/((10 - 9)! × 9!)] × 0.4^(9) × 0.6^(10 - 9)

P(9) = 0.0016

P(10) = [10!/((10 - 10)! × 10!)] × 0.4^(10) × 0.6^(10 - 10)

P(10) = 0.0001

Thus;

P(≥ 7 males) = 0.0425 + 0.0106 + 0.0016 + 0.0001 = 0.0548

Sean is driving to visit his friend in another state. In the first hour, he travels 1/5 of the total distance. Second hour he tr
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The friends live 285 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total distance in miles Sean needs to cover to visit his friend be = x

On first hour distance traveled in miles is = \frac{1}{5}\ of\ the\ total\ distance = \frac{1}{5}.(x)=\frac{1}{5}x

Distance left to cover  after first hour = x-\frac{1}{5}x

On second hour distance traveled = 34 miles

Distance to still left to be covered = 194 miles

Total distance to be covered after first hour will be = 34\ miles+194\ miles = 228 miles

Thus, the equation can be given as:

⇒ x-\frac{1}{5}x=228

Multiplying each term with 5 to remove fractions.

⇒ 5x-5.\frac{1}{5}x=5\times228

⇒ 5x-x=5\times228

⇒ 4x=1140

Dividing both sides by 4.

⇒ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{1140}{4}

∴ x=285

Thus, the friends live 285 miles apart.

Find the equation of the tangent line to g(x) = 4x² + 6x at x = 0 <br> Simplify any fractions
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

y = 6x

To find equation,

1) Find Derivative

2) Find the slope at x

3) Find coordinates

<h3><u>Lets first Derive The Equation</u></h3>

\sf \rightarrow y = 4x^2 + 6x

\sf \rightarrow \dfrac{dy}{dx}  = (2)4x^{2-1} + (1)6x^{1-1}

\sf \rightarrow \dfrac{dy}{dx}  = 8x + 6

<u>Secondly find Slope at x = 0</u>

\sf \rightarrow \dfrac{dy}{dx}  = 8(0) + 6

\sf \rightarrow \dfrac{dy}{dx}  = 6      Yep so the slope(m) is 6.

                                       Recall, tangent line has the same slope.

<u>Now third step is to find coordinates</u>

At x = 0, y = 4x² + 6x ⇒ y = 4(0)² + 6(0) = 0   \star so coordinates: (0, 0)

Equation:

  • y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
  • y - 0 = 6(x -0)
  • y = 6x
