Answer:

c= none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x- 6/10

This has two separate terms, a term with a variable

-3x and a term with a constant -6/10

A=3/6x1/10 This has only one term

b=- 3/10x-6 This has a different x term -3/10 which is not -3

c= none of the above

Prove the following theorem indirectly. We will give you a start.Prove that a triangle cannot have two right angles. A triangle

nordsb [41]

A triangle can't have two right angles because there is 180° in a triangle. Each right angle is 90° so it would be impossible

How do you use the vertical line test?

Triss [41]

First let you know what to do. OK. Going to drag a ruler. Across the paper. Vertically. And if it touches 2 points on the grid. Then it fails the test.

Using Newton's Law of Cooling. You are a medical examiner called to an abandoned house in which a dead body has been discovered.

A) The differential equation comes from the fact that the rate of temperature change is proportional to the difference in temperatures.
$\frac{dT}{dt} = \alpha(T -52)$

B) Find general solution by separating variables and integrating $\int\frac{dT}{T-52} = \alpha \int dt \\ ln (T-52) = \alpha t + C \\ T = C e^{\alpha t} +52$ :

C) Initial condition is t=0, T = 87
$87 = C +52 \\ C = 35$

D) Total time elapsed is 10 minutes, new temperature is 84
$84 = 35 e^{10\alpha} +52$
solve for alpha
$e^{10\alpha} =\frac{32}{35} \\ \alpha = \frac{ln(32/35)}{10} \\ \alpha = -.00896$

E) Temperature function is:
$T = 35 e^{-.00896 t} +52$
solving for t
$t = \frac{ln (\frac{T-52}{35})}{-.00896}$
Plug in T = 98.6
$t = -31.95$

This is approximately 32 minutes before he arrived or about 1:20 AM

A survey on British Social Attitudes asked respondents if they had ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons (Statesman, January

Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) 27.89% probability that two have ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons

b) 41.81% probability that at least two respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

c) 41.16% probability that between 3 and 6 have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

d) The expected number is 2.3 and the standard deviation is 1.33.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

23% of the respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons.

This means that $p = 0.23$

a) In a sample of six British citizens, what is the probability that two have ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons?

This is P(X = 2) when n = 6. So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{6,2}.(0.23)^{2}.(0.77)^{4} = 0.2789$

27.89% probability that two have ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons

b) In a sample of six British citizens, what is the probability that at least two respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons?

Either less than two have, or at least two. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.23)^{0}.(0.77)^{6} = 0.2084$

$P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.23)^{1}.(0.77)^{5} = 0.3735$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2084 + 0.3735 = 0.5819$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.5819 = 0.4181$

41.81% probability that at least two respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

c) In a sample of ten British citizens, what is the probability that between 3 and 6 have boycotted goods for ethical reasons?

Now n = 10.

$P(3 \leq X \leq 6) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.23)^{3}.(0.77)^{7} = 0.2343$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.23)^{4}.(0.77)^{6} = 0.1225$

$P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.23)^{5}.(0.77)^{5} = 0.0439$

$P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.23)^{6}.(0.77)^{4} = 0.0109$

$P(3 \leq X \leq 6) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.2343 + 0.1225 + 0.0439 + 0.0109 = 0.4116$

41.16% probability that between 3 and 6 have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

d) In a sample of ten British citizens, what is the expected number of people that have boycotted goods for ethical reasons? Also find the standard deviation.

$E(X) = np = 10*0.23 = 2.3$

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{10*0.23*0.77} = 1.33$

The expected number is 2.3 and the standard deviation is 1.33.
