To answer problems like this you have to use binomial:

P (x > 1) = 1 – p (0 < x < 1) > .7 

So:

1 – p (0) – p (1) > .7 

1 – (3/ 4) ^n – (3/ 4) ^n (n – 1 ) (1/ 4) > .7 

Therefore n > 5.185, and the smallest value of n so that we can satisfy the given condition is 6 (rounded up)

The response to a question has three alternatives: A, B, and C. A sample of 120 responses provides 60 A, 12 B, and 48 C. Show th
zimovet [89]

Answer:

CLASS     FREQUENCIES     RELATIVE FREQUENCIES

A                        60                                 0.5

B                        12                                  0.1

C                        48                                 0.4

TOTAL              120                                  1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

the frequencies of there alternatives are;

Frequency A = 60

Frequency B = 12

Frequency C = 48

Total = 60 + 12 + 48 = 120

Now to determine our relative frequency, we divide each frequency by the total sum of the given frequencies;

Relative Frequency A = Frequency A / total = 60 / 120 = 0.5

Relative Frequency B = Frequency B / total = 12 / 120 = 0.1

Relative Frequency C = Frequency C / total = 48 / 120 = 0.4

therefore;

CLASS     FREQUENCIES     RELATIVE FREQUENCIES

A                        60                                 0.5

B                        12                                  0.1

C                        48                                 0.4

TOTAL              120                                  1

Rewrite the following integral in spherical coordinates.​
lora16 [44]

In cylindrical coordinates, we have r^2=x^2+y^2, so that

z = \pm \sqrt{2-r^2} = \pm \sqrt{2-x^2-y^2}

correspond to the upper and lower halves of a sphere with radius \sqrt2. In spherical coordinates, this sphere is \rho=\sqrt2.

1 \le r \le \sqrt2 means our region is between two cylinders with radius 1 and \sqrt2. In spherical coordinates, the inner cylinder has equation

x^2+y^2 = 1 \implies \rho^2\cos^2(\theta) \sin^2(\phi) + \rho^2\sin^2(\theta) \sin^2(\phi) = \rho^2 \sin^2(\phi) = 1 \\\\ \implies \rho^2 = \csc^2(\phi) \\\\ \implies \rho = \csc(\phi)

This cylinder meets the sphere when

x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1 + z^2 = 2 \implies z^2 = 1 \\\\ \implies \rho^2 \cos^2(\phi) = 1 \\\\ \implies \rho^2 = \sec^2(\phi) \\\\ \implies \rho = \sec(\phi)

which occurs at

\csc(\phi) = \sec(\phi) \implies \tan(\phi) = 1 \implies \phi = \dfrac\pi4+n\pi

where n\in\Bbb Z. Then \frac\pi4\le\phi\le\frac{3\pi}4.

The volume element transforms to

dx\,dy\,dz = r\,dr\,d\theta\,dz = \rho^2 \sin(\phi) \, d\rho \, d\theta \, d\phi

Putting everything together, we have

\displaystyle \int_0^{2\pi} \int_1^{\sqrt2} \int_{-\sqrt{2-r^2}}^{\sqrt{2-r^2}} r \, dz \, dr \, d\theta = \boxed{\int_0^{2\pi} \int_{\pi/4}^{3\pi/4} \int_{\csc(\phi)}^{\sqrt2} \rho^2 \sin(\phi) \, d\rho \, d\phi \, d\theta} = \frac{4\pi}3

Suppose there is a simple index of three stocks, stock X, stock Y, and stock Z.
Pie

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

so the first one ends at 4.7107

the second- 3.3568

the third- 5.1401

and multiplying the first by 5000 we get- 23,553.5

for the second we get -6,713.6

for the third we get 41,120

adding them all together we get 71,387.1

and so C is the closest

When 25 is added to a number the result is 59 less than 4 times the number.
marin [14]
X - the number

The expression:
x+25=4x-59

The solution:
x+25=4x-59 \\&#10;x-4x=-59-25 \\&#10;-3x=-84 \\&#10;x=\frac{-84}{-3} \\&#10;x=28

The number is 28.
