Write the equation of a vertical ellipse with a major axis of 20, a minor axis of 12, and a center of (6, 3)

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The equation of a vertical ellipse is $\frac{(x-6)^2}{100} + \frac{(y-3)^2}{36} = 1\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given:

Length of major axis: 20

⇒ 2 a = 20 , or , a = 10

Length of minor axis: 12

⇒ 2 b = 12 , or , b = 6

Also, center (h,k) = (6,3)

Now, STANDARD EQUATION OF ELLIPSE :

$\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2} = 1\\$

Now, substituting the values, a, b , h and k in above expression, we get:

$\frac{(x-6)^2}{10^2} + \frac{(y-3)^2}{6^2} = 1\\$

or, $\frac{(x-6)^2}{100} + \frac{(y-3)^2}{36} = 1\\$

Hence, the equation of a vertical ellipse is $\frac{(x-6)^2}{100} + \frac{(y-3)^2}{36} = 1\\$

The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to a distribution that is approximately Normal with me

inn [45]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean (m) = 266 days

Standard deviation (s) = 16 days

A.) p(( Z ≤ (x - m) /s) = 2.5%

p(( Z ≤ (x - 266) /16) = 0.025

(x - 266) /16 = - 1.96 (Z probability calculator)

x - 266 = - 31.36

x = - 31.36 + 266

x = 234.64

B.)

p(( Z ≤ (x - m) /s) = 2.5%

p(( Z ≤ (x - 266) /16) = 0.025

(x - 266) /16 = - 1.96 (Z probability calculator)

x - 266 = - 31.36

x = - 31.36 + 266

x = 234.64

p(( Z ≤ (x - m) /s) = 2.5%

p(( Z ≤ (x - 266) /16) = 0.025

(x - 266) /16 = 1.96 (Z probability calculator)

x - 266 = 31.36

x = 31.36 + 266

x = 297.36

Hence,

234.64 < x <297.36

C.)

p(( Z ≤ (x - m) /s) = 2.5%

p(( Z ≤ (x - 266) /16) = 0.025

(x - 266) /16 = 1.96 (Z probability calculator)

x - 266 = 31.36

x = 31.36 + 266

x = 297.36

The space shuttle flight control system called PASS (Primary Avionics Software Set) uses four independent computers working in p

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$f_X(k)=\binom{4}{k}0.003^k0.997^{4-k}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that a probability mass function defined on a discrete random variable X is just a function that gives the probability that the random variable equals a certain value k

$f_X(k)=P(X=k)$

In this case we have the event

“The computer will ask for a roll to the left when a roll to the right is appropriate” with a probability of 0.003.

Then we have 2 possible events, either the computer is right or not.

Since we have 4 computers in parallel, the situation could be modeled with a binomial distribution and the probability mass function

$f_X(k)=\binom{4}{k}0.003^k0.997^{4-k}$

This gives the probability that k computers are wrong at the same time.
