A box contains 35 gems, of which 10 are real diamonds and 25 are fake diamonds. Gems are randomly taken out of the box, one at a

time without replacement. What is the probability that exactly 2 fakes are selected?

Answer:

$Probability = 0.504$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Gems= 35$

$Real = 10$

$Fake = 25$

Required

Determine the probability of selecting two fakes

The probability can be represented as thus: $P(Fake\ and\ Fake)$

Using the following probability formula, we have:

$P(Fake\ and\ Fake) = P(Fake) * P(Fake)$

Each probability is calculated by dividing number of fakes by total number of gems:

$P(Fake\ and\ Fake) = \frac{25}{35} * \frac{25-1}{35-1}$

The minus 1 (-1) represent the numbers of fake and total gems left after the first selection

$P(Fake\ and\ Fake) = \frac{25}{35} * \frac{24}{34}$

$P(Fake\ and\ Fake) = \frac{5}{7} * \frac{12}{17}$

$P(Fake\ and\ Fake) = \frac{60}{119}$

$P(Fake\ and\ Fake) = 0.504$

<em>Hence, the required probability is approximately 0.504</em>

Answer: $H_0 : \mu=50\\\\ H_1 : \mu\neq50$

Step-by-step explanation:

An null hypothesis ( $H_0$ ) is a statement of equality which shows that there is no statistical difference between the groups being tested.

An alternative hypothesis ( $H_1$ ) is a statement of inequality which shows that there is statistical difference between the groups being tested.

Let $\mu$ be the population mean amount of garbage per bin .

Given : A sanitation supervisor is interested in testing to see if the mean amount of garbage per bin is different from 50.

i.e. $\mu\neq 50$ → Alternative

Thus , the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses :

$H_0 : \mu=50\\\\ H_1 : \mu\neq50$

A scale model of a house is 110 the size of the actual house. One of the bedrooms in the house is 16 feet long. Which expression

Answer:

model measurement = actual measurement / 110

Step-by-step explanation:

(I believe you have a typo in your answer where the scale is 1:110. Hard to believe one would make a model house 110 times the size of a physical house, haha!)

If cos Θ = square root 2 over 2 and 3 pi over 2 < Θ < 2π, what are the values of sin Θ and tan Θ?

KIM [24]

Answer:

The answer is

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$tan(\theta)=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

$sin^{2}(\theta)+cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

In this problem we have

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\frac{3\pi}{2}$

so

The angle $\theta$ belong to the third or fourth quadrant

The value of $sin(\theta)$ is negative

Step 1

Find the value of $sin(\theta)$

Remember

$sin^{2}(\theta)+cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

we have

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

substitute

$sin^{2}(\theta)+(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})^{2}=1$

$sin^{2}(\theta)=1-\frac{1}{2}$

$sin^{2}(\theta)=\frac{1}{2}$

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ ------> remember that the value is negative

Step 2

Find the value of $tan(\theta)$

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

we have

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

substitute

$tan(\theta)=\frac{-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}$

$tan(\theta)=-1$
