When dragons on planet Pern lay eggs, the eggs are either green or yellow. The biologists have observed over the years that 21%

of the eggs are yellow, and the rest green. Next spring the lead scientist has permission to randomly select 58 of the dragon eggs to incubate. Consider all the possible samples of 58 dragon eggs.
What is the usual number of yellow eggs in samples of 58 eggs? (Give answers as SENSIBLE whole numbers.)
minimum usual number of yellow eggs =
maximum usual number of yellow eggs

Answer:

usual number of yellow eggs = 12

Usual maximum = 21

Usual minimum = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we will use the expected value of a binomial probability.

The formula is;

E(X) = np

Where;

n is sample size

p is probability of success.

We are given;

n = 58

p = 21%

Thus;

usual number of yellow eggs in samples = np = 58 × 21% = 12.18 ≈ 12

From USL(Upper specification limit) and LSL(Lower specification limit) formula, we can find the maximum usual number and minimum usual number of eggs respectively.

Thus;

USL = n(p + 3√(p(1 - p)/n)

USL = 58(0.21 + 3√(0.21(1 - 0.21)/58)

USL = 21.48 ≈ 21

LSL = n(p - 3√(p(1 - p)/n)

LSL = 58(0.21 - 3√(0.21(1 - 0.21)/58)

LSL = 2.87 ≈ 3

Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula. 3x2 + 5x + 1 = 0
iren [92.7K]
Solve for x over the real numbers:
3 x^2 + 5 x + 1 = 0
Hint: | Using the quadratic formula, solve for x.
x = (-5 ± sqrt(5^2 - 4×3))/(2×3) = (-5 ± sqrt(25 - 12))/6 = (-5 ± sqrt(13))/6:
Answer: x = (-5 + sqrt(13))/6 or x = (-5 - sqrt(13))/6

Explain how to evaluate f(g(0)).
alekssr [168]

Answer as a fraction:  17/6

Answer in decimal form: 2.8333  (approximate)

==================================================

Work Shown:

Let's use the two black points to determine the equation of the red f(x) line.

Use the slope formula to get...

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (4-0.5)/(2-(-1))

m = (4-0.5)/(2+1)

m = 3.5/3

m = 35/30

m = (5*7)/(5*6)

m = 7/6

Now use the point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0.5 = (7/6)(x - (-1))

y - 0.5 = (7/6)(x + 1)

y - 0.5 = (7/6)x + 7/6

y = (7/6)x + 7/6 + 0.5

y = (7/6)x + 7/6 + 1/2

y = (7/6)x + 7/6 + 3/6

y = (7/6)x + 10/6

y = (7/6)x + 5/3

So,

f(x) = (7/6)x + 5/3

We'll use this later.

---------------------

We ultimately want to compute f(g(0))

Let's find g(0) first.

g(0) = 1 since the point (0,1) is on the g(x) graph

We then go from f(g(0)) to f(1). We replace g(0) with 1 since they are the same value.

We now use the f(x) function we computed earlier

f(x) = (7/6)x + 5/3

f(1) = (7/6)(1) + 5/3

f(1) = 7/6 + 5/3

f(1) = 7/6 + 10/6

f(1) = 17/6

f(1) = 2.8333 (approximate)

This ultimately means,

f(g(0)) = 17/6 as a fraction

f(g(0)) = 2.8333 as a decimal approximation

The diameter of a circle is 6 cm. Find its area to the nearest tenth.
Kruka [31]

Answer:

28.27cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

formula:

A=πr²

d = 2r

Solving for A

A=1/4π d² = 1/4 · π · 6² ≈ 28.27433cm²

rounded: 28.27cm²

hope this helped!
