al answer. a) A professor has made 20 exams of which 8 are hard, 7 are reasonable, and 5 are easy. The exams are mixed up and the professor selects 4 of them at random to give to four sections of the course she is teaching. What is the probability that no sections receive a hard test

Answer: the probability that no sections receive a hard test is 0.1022

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

total number of exams = 20

hard exams = 8

reasonable = 7

easy exam = 5

so total exams that are bot hard = 7 + 5 = 12

we will make use of the probability mass function of hyper geometric distribution;

so the probability that no section of the received a hard test can be determined as follows;

P( x=0; N=20, n=4, k=8 ) = [ ⁸C₀ × ²⁰⁻⁸C₄₋₀ ] / ²⁰C₄

= [1 × ¹²C₄ ] / ²⁰C₄

= [1 × (12!/(4!×(12-4)!) ] / (20!/(4!×(20-4)!)

= [1 × 495 ] / 4845

= 495 / 4845

= 0.1022

Therefore the probability that no sections receive a hard test is 0.1022

Answer:

I wanna say b

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm gonna say b because u would think since they've paid $13, and it sells for $22, u would add that on the price, which in my opinion would be x + 13 = 22

Match the identities to their values taking these conditions into consideration sinx=sqrt2 /2 cosy=-1/2 angle x is in the first

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

$\cos(x+y)$ goes with $-\frac{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}{4}$

$\sin(x+y)$ goes with $\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{4}$

$\tan(x+y)$ goes with $\sqrt{3}-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\cos(x+y)$

$\cos(x)\cos(y)-\sin(x)\sin(y)$ by the addition identity for cosine.

We are given:

$\sin(x)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ which if we look at the unit circle we should see

$\cos(x)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ .

We are also given:

$\cos(y)=\frac{-1}{2}$ which if we look the unit circle we should see

$\sin(y)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ .

Apply both of these given to:

$\cos(x+y)$

$\cos(x)\cos(y)-\sin(x)\sin(y)$ by the addition identity for cosine.

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{-1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$\frac{-\sqrt{2}}{4}-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{4}$

$\frac{-\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}}{4}$

$-\frac{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}{4}$

Apply both of the givens to:

$\sin(x+y)$

$\sin(x)\cos(y)+\sin(y)\cos(x)$ by addition identity for sine.

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{-1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\frac{-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6}}{4}$

$\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{4}$

Now I'm going to apply what 2 things we got previously to:

$\tan(x+y)$

$\frac{\sin(x+y)}{\cos(x+y)}$ by quotient identity for tangent

$\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{-(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})}$

$-\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}$

Multiply top and bottom by bottom's conjugate.

When you multiply conjugates you just have to multiply first and last.

That is if you have something like (a-b)(a+b) then this is equal to a^2-b^2.

$-\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}$

$-\frac{6-\sqrt{2}\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}\sqrt{6}+2}{6-2}$

$-\frac{8-2\sqrt{12}}{4}$

There is a perfect square in 12, 4.

$-\frac{8-2\sqrt{4}\sqrt{3}}{4}$

$-\frac{8-2(2)\sqrt{3}}{4}$

$-\frac{8-4\sqrt{3}}{4}$

Divide top and bottom by 4 to reduce fraction:

$-\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{1}$

$-(2-\sqrt{3})$

Distribute:

$\sqrt{3}-2$
