Answer:

3/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Monica has a 24-inch square frame.

There are 4 equal sides.

Hence, length of each side=24/4 inch

= 6 inch

She paints 3/4 of one side of the frame blue.

i.e. she paints $\dfrac{3}{4}\times 6$ inch

Total part to be painted=24 inch

Hence, fraction of the frame Monica painted blue is:

$\dfrac{3\times 6}{4\times 24}\\ \\= \dfrac{3}{16}$

Consider a binomial experiment with 15 trials and probability 0.35 of success on a single trial.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

a

$P(X = 10 ) = 0.0096$

b

$P(X = 10 ) = 0.0085$

c

Option A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 15

The probability of success is $p = 0.35$

The number of success we are considering is r = 10

Now the probability of failure is mathematically evaluated as

$q = 1- p$

substituting value

$q = 1- 0.35$

$q = 0.65$

Now using the binomial distribution to find the probability of exactly 10 successes we have that

$P(X = r ) = [\left n } \atop {r}} \right. ] * p^r * q^{n- r}$

substituting values

$P(X = 10 ) = [\left 15 } \atop {10}} \right. ] * p^{10}* q^{15- 10}$

Where $[\left 15 } \atop {10}} \right. ]$ mean 15 combination 10 which is evaluated with a calculator to obtain

$[\left 15 } \atop {10}} \right. ] = 3003$

So

$P(X = 10 ) = 3003 * 0.35 ^{10}* 0.65^{15- 10}$

$P(X = 10 ) = 0.0096$

Now using the normal distribution to approximate the probability of exactly 10 successes, we have that

$P(X = r ) = P( r < X < r )$

Applying continuity correction

$P(X = r ) = P( r -0.5 < X < r +0.5)$

substituting values

$P(X = 10) = P( 10-0.5 < X < 10+0.5)$

$P(X = 10 ) = P( 9.5 < X < 10.5)$

Standardizing

$P(X = r ) = P( \frac{9.5 - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{10.5 - \mu}{\sigma } )$

The where $\mu$ is the mean which is mathematically represented as

$\mu = n * p$

substituting values

$\mu = 15 * 0.35$

$\mu = 5.25$

The standard deviation is evaluated as

$\sigma = \sqrt{n * p * q }$

substituting values

$\sigma = \sqrt{15 * 0.35 * 0.65 }$

$\sigma = 1.8473$

Thus

$P(X = 10 ) = P( \frac{9.5 - 5.25 }{1.8473 } < \frac{X - 5.25 }{1.8473 } < \frac{10.5 - 5.25}{1.8473 } )$

$P(X = 10 ) = P( 2.30 < Z < 2.842 )$

$P(X = 10 ) = P(Z < 2.842 ) - P(Z < 2.30 )$

From the normal distribution table we obtain the $P(Z < 2.841)$ as

$P(Z < 2.841) = 0.99775$

And the $P(Z < 2.30)$

$P(Z < 2.30) = 0.98928$

There value can also be obtained from a probability of z calculator at (Calculator dot net website)

So

$P(X = 10) = 0.99775 - 0.98928$

$P(X = 10 ) = 0.0085$

Looking at the calculated values for question a and b we see that the values are fairly different.

“what is the equation of a conic with vertices (-9,3) and (7,3) and foci (-5,3) and (3,3)”

iragen [17]

This is an ellipse.

Equation of an ellipse: $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$

Let's find the center point first. We can do this by finding out the midpoint between the vertices or the foci.

(-9+7)/2=-1

Center: (-1,3)

Now we need to find a and b (length along x and length along y).

We know "a". It is the distance between the center and the right or left bound.

a=7-(-1)=8

To find out "b", first see that...

b^2=a^2-(distance from center to foci)^2

foci distance=3-(-1)=4

b^2=8^2-4^2

b^2=64-16

b^2=48

b=4√3

answer: $\frac{(x+1)^2}{64}+\frac{(y-3)^2}{48}=1$

There are 45 students in a speech contest. Yesterday, 1/3 of them gave their speeches. Today, 2/5 of the remaining students gave

viva [34]

1/3 of 45 is 15, meaning 15 students gave their speech on day 1

Today 2/5 of the remaining students gave their speech. That’s 12 more

So a total of 27 students gave their speeches. That means 18 students remain. The answer is 18
