<u>Question</u>

Suppose that a committee is studying whether or not there is excessive time waste in our judicial system. It is interested in the mean amount of time individuals spend at the courthouse waiting to be called for jury duty. The committee randomly surveyed 81 people who recently served as jurors. The sample mean wait time was 4 hours with a sample standard deviation of 1.2 hours. Define the random variables X and \bar{X} in words.

Answer:

(B)

  • X is the amount of time an individual waits at the courthouse to be called for service.
  • \bar{X}  is the mean wait time for a sample of individuals.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is the amount of time for which each of the prospective juror waits at the courthouse before being called for service.

\bar{X}  is the mean wait time for a the given sample of individuals. In the case given,

What are the roots of the equation 4x^2+24x+45=0 in simplest a+bi form?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

X=(-1.5, 7.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4x2 + -24x + -45 = 0

Reorder the terms:

-45 + -24x + 4x2 = 0

Solving

-45 + -24x + 4x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Factor a trinomial.

(-3 + -2x)(15 + -2x) = 0

 

Set the factor '(-3 + -2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

-3 + -2x = 0

Solving

-3 + -2x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + -2x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + -2x = 0 + 3

-2x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3

-2x = 3

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = -1.5

Simplifying

x = -1.5  

Set the factor '(15 + -2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

15 + -2x = 0

Solving

15 + -2x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-15' to each side of the equation.

15 + -15 + -2x = 0 + -15

Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0

0 + -2x = 0 + -15

-2x = 0 + -15

Combine like terms: 0 + -15 = -15

-2x = -15

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 7.5

Simplifying

x = 7.5

Solution

x = {-1.5, 7.5}

A sports teacher had 1025 sweets. After distributing these equally amongst all the participants in a sports meet, he had just 1
Cerrena [4.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it remains only 1 sweet, we can subtract it from the total and get the amount of sweets distributed (=1024).

As all the sweets are distributed equally, we must divide the number of distributed sweets by all its dividers (excluding 1024 and 1, we'll see later why):

1) 512 => 2 partecipants

2) 256 => 4 partecipants

3) 128 => 8 partecipants

4) 64 => 16 partecipants

5) 32 => 32 partecipants

6) 16 => 64 partecipants

7) 8 => 128 partecipants

9) 4 => 256 partecipants

10) 2 => 512 partecipants

The number on the left represents the number of sweets given to the partecipants, and on the right we have the number of the partecipants. Note that all the numbers on the left are dividers of 1024.

Why excluding 1 and 1024? Because the problem tells us that there remains 1 sweet. If there was 1 sweet for every partecipant, the number of partecipants would be 1025, but that's not possible as there remains 1 sweet. If it was 1024, it wouldn't work as well because the sweets are 1025 and if 1 is not distributed it goes again against the problem that says all sweets are equally distributed.

Line segment AB has endpoints A(7, 4) and B(2, 5). Find the coordinates of the point that divides the line segment directed from
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

(23/4, 17/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vector from A to B is ...

... V = B - A = (2-7, 5-4) = (-5, 1)

Point P that divides AB the way you want is 1/4 of that from A:

... P = A + (1/4)×V = (7, 4) + (-5/4, 1/4)

... P = (5 3/4, 4 1/4) = (23/4, 17/4)
