2000 soldiers stand in a row. Beginning from the left, each soldier calls out a number, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, and

so on. Beginning from the right, each soldier calls out a number 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, and so on. How many of these soldiers call out a number 3 when beginning from the left and right??

Answer:

The number of soldiers that call out a number 3 is 666 soldiers

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Number of soldiers = 2000

Soldiers calling from the left = 1, 2, 3,.....

Soldiers calling from the right = 1, 2, 3,.....

Therefore, since the number soldiers calling out the number 3 are 1 in 3 from the left and 1 in 3 from the right, we split the soldiers into 2 groups of 1000, with one group calling from left and the other group calling from the right;

The number of 3s in called out in the first group from the left is therefore;

1000/3 = 333.33 which is 333 soldiers  or from the 3rd soldier to the 999th soldier

Similarly the number of 3s called out from the second group = 333

Hence the total number of soldiers that call out a number 3 = 333 + 333 = 666 soldiers.

what is the slope of the line through (1,0)(1,0)left parenthesis, 1, comma, 0, right parenthesis and (3,8)(3,8)
77julia77 [94]

The slope of the line passing through (1 , 0) and (3 , 8) is 4.

Slope, commonly represented by the letter m, is a value that describes the steepness and direction of a line. The slope of a line is also called its gradient or rate of change.

It is the vertical change in y divided by the horizontal change in x, sometimes called rise over run. The slope formula uses two points, (x_{1}, y_{1} ) and (x_{2}, y_{2} ), to calculate the change in y over the change in x.

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1} }     where

x_{1} = 1

y_{1} = 0

x_{2} = 3

y_{2} = 8

Substituting the values,

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1} } =\frac{8-0}{3-1} =\frac{8}{2}=4

Hence, he slope of the line passing through (1 , 0) and (3 , 8) is 4.

What is the union sets M= (1,7,10,11,15) and N=(5,15)?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: <em>(1,5,7,10,11,15)</em>

To get the union of two sets of numbers, all you do is combine the numbers from least to greatest. If a number repeats in the 2 sets, you only put it once.

If the filling equipment is functioning properly what is the probability that the volume of oil in a randomly selected barrel wi
Sophie [7]

Answer:

P(X>55.4)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{55.4-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{55.4-55}{0.5})=P(Z>0.8)

P(Z>0.8)=1-P(Z\leq 0.8)

P(Z>0.8)=1-0.788=0.212

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this previous info : "Trucks carry barrels of crude oil from a port in Texas to a distributer in New Mexico on long  trailers. Filling equipment is used to fill the barrels with the oil. When functioning properly,  the actual volume of oil loaded into each barrel by the filling equipment at the port is  approximately normally distributed with a mean of 55 gallons and a standard deviation of 0.5  gallons. If the mean is greater than 55.4 gallons, the filling mechanism is overfilling."

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the amount filling of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(55,0.5)  

Where \mu=55 and \sigma=0.5

We are interested on this probability

P(X>55.4)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>55.4)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{55.4-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{55.4-55}{0.5})=P(Z>0.8)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule:

P(Z>0.8)=1-P(Z\leq 0.8)

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(Z>0.8)=1-0.788=0.212
