A thumbtack that is tossed can land point up or point down. The probability of a tack landing point up is 0.2. A simulation was

conducted in which a trial consisted of tossing 5 thumbtacks and recording the number of thumbtacks that land point up. Many trials of the simulation were conducted and the results are shown in the histogram.
Based on the results of the simulation, which of the following is closest to the probability that at least 2 thumbtacks land pointing up when 5 thumbtacks are tossed?

A 0.09

B 0.19

C 0.28

D 0.72

E 0.91

Answer:

Option C: 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability distribution problem.

Now, we want to find the probability that at least 2 thumbtacks land pointing up when 5 thumbtacks are tossed. This is written as;

P(X ≥ 2) = P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(5)

From the histogram;

P(5) = 0.02

P(4) = 0.02

P(3) = 0.05

P(2) = 0.19

Thus;

P(X ≥ 2) = 0.19 + 0.05 + 0.02 + 0.02

P(X ≥ 2) = 0.28

How much will Kasey pay in Medicare if she makes $42,300 next year? $613.35 $2,678.40 $3,291.75 $4,320.00
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

$613.35

Step-by-step explanation:

As 1.45% of employee's pay check goes to the Medicare, so

Total pay of Kasey in next year=$42300

Amount to be paid to medicare=1.45% of Kasey^' s pay

=42300*  1.45/100

=42300*  145/10000

=  6133500/10000

=613.35

Kasey will have to pay $613.35 to Medicare.

Which is traveling faster, a car whose velocity vector is 201 + 25), or a car whose velocity vector is 30i, assuming that the un
ioda

Answer with explanation:

For any object having the velocity vector as

\overrightarrow{v}=v_x\widehat{i}+v_y\widehat{j}+v_z\widehat{k}

the magnitude of velocity is given by

|v|=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2+v_z^2}

For car 1 the velocity vector is

\overrightarrow{v}_1=20\widehat{i}+25\widehat{j}

Therefore

|v_1|=\sqrt{20^2+25^2}\\\\\therefore v_1=32.0156units

Similarly for car 2 we have

\overrightarrow{v}_2=30\widehat{i}

Therefore

|v_2|=\sqrt{30^2}\\\\\therefore v_2=30.0units

Comparing both the values we find that car 1 has the greater speed.

An inequality that represents Denise's goal in terms of the number of hours spent running 'h'

550h\leq 5000

Given :

Denise wants to burn at least 5000 calories a week through running.

she can burn 550 calories per hour

Let 'h' be the number of hours spent

In 1 hour  she can burn  550 calories

In 'h' hours she can burn 550h calories

Given that she want to burn atleast 5000 calories in a week

Burn atleast 5000 calories means <=5000 calories

So , the inequality that represents Denise's goal is

calories burn in h hours  <= 5000 calories

550h\leq 5000

You combine like terms which are -10x and 7x and 1 and 37. Then it becomes -3x=36. x would equal to 36/-3, which is -12.
