Determine if the correlation between the two given variables is likely to be positive or negative, or if they are not likely to

display a linear relationship. The retail price of a particular smartphone and the number of units sold at that price

Answer:

no correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of the smartphone is fixed beforehand, therefore price does not depend upon the number of units sold.

Hence, there is no correlation between the two given variables.

Hence, no correlation would be the answer.

An art studio charges a start-up fee to cover art supplies, plus an additional fee per class. The graph shows the total cost for

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️The rate of change can be calculated using the coordinates of any two points on the graph. Let's use (2, 60) and (3, 75):

$rate of change = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{75 - 60}{1} = \frac{15}{1} = 15$

Rate of change (m) = 15

✅In the context of this situation, the rate of change can be interpreted to be the additional fee per class. Thus, an additional fee per class cost $15.

✔️Initial value is the same as the y-intercept.

To find the y-intercept (b), substitute m = 15, x = 2, and y = 60 into y = mx + b.

Thus:

60 = 15(2) + b

60 = 30 + b

60 - 30 = b

30 = b

b = 30

The initial value/y-intercept = $30

✅In this context, $30 is the start-up fee to cover art supplies.

) Use the Laplace transform to solve the following initial value problem: y′′−6y′+9y=0y(0)=4,y′(0)=2 Using Y for the Laplace tra

artcher [175]

Answer:

$y(t)=2e^{3t}(2-5t)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Y(s) be the Laplace transform Y=L{y(t)} of y(t)

Applying the Laplace transform to both sides of the differential equation and using the linearity of the transform, we get

L{y'' - 6y' + 9y} = L{0} = 0

(*) L{y''} - 6L{y'} + 9L{y} = 0 ; y(0)=4, y′(0)=2

Using the theorem of the Laplace transform for derivatives, we know that:

$\large\bf L\left\{y''\right\}=s^2Y(s)-sy(0)-y'(0)\\\\L\left\{y'\right\}=sY(s)-y(0)$

Replacing the initial values y(0)=4, y′(0)=2 we obtain

$\large\bf L\left\{y''\right\}=s^2Y(s)-4s-2\\\\L\left\{y'\right\}=sY(s)-4$

and our differential equation (*) gets transformed in the algebraic equation

$\large\bf s^2Y(s)-4s-2-6(sY(s)-4)+9Y(s)=0$

Solving for Y(s) we get

$\large\bf s^2Y(s)-4s-2-6(sY(s)-4)+9Y(s)=0\Rightarrow (s^2-6s+9)Y(s)-4s+22=0\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow Y(s)=\frac{4s-22}{s^2-6s+9}$

Now, we brake down the rational expression of Y(s) into partial fractions

$\large\bf \frac{4s-22}{s^2-6s+9}=\frac{4s-22}{(s-3)^2}=\frac{A}{s-3}+\frac{B}{(s-3)^2}$

The numerator of the addition at the right must be equal to 4s-22, so

A(s - 3) + B = 4s - 22

As - 3A + B = 4s - 22

we deduct from here

A = 4 and -3A + B = -22, so

A = 4 and B = -22 + 12 = -10

It means that

$\large\bf \frac{4s-22}{s^2-6s+9}=\frac{4}{s-3}-\frac{10}{(s-3)^2}$

and

$\large\bf Y(s)=\frac{4}{s-3}-\frac{10}{(s-3)^2}$

By taking the inverse Laplace transform on both sides and using the linearity of the inverse:

$\large\bf y(t)=L^{-1}\left\{Y(s)\right\}=4L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\}-10L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s-3)^2}\right\}$

we know that

$\large\bf L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\}=e^{3t}$

and for the first translation property of the inverse Laplace transform

$\large\bf L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s-3)^2}\right\}=e^{3t}L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s^2}\right\}=e^{3t}t=te^{3t}$

and the solution of our differential equation is

$\large\bf y(t)=L^{-1}\left\{Y(s)\right\}=4L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s-3}\right\}-10L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s-3)^2}\right\}=\\\\4e^{3t}-10te^{3t}=2e^{3t}(2-5t)\\\\\boxed{y(t)=2e^{3t}(2-5t)}$

Sample spaces For each of the following, list the sample space and tell whether you think the events are equally likely:

Schach [20]

Answer and explanation:

To find : List the sample space and tell whether you think the events are equally likely ?

Solution :

a) Toss 2 coins; record the order of heads and tails.

Let H is getting head and t is getting tail.

When two coins are tossed the sample space is {HH,HT,TH,TT}.

Total number of outcome = 4

As the outcome HT is different from TH. Each outcome is unique.

Events are equally likely since their probabilities $\frac{1}{4}$ are same.

b) A family has 3 children; record the number of boys.

Let B denote boy and G denote girl.

If there are 3 children then the sample space is

{GGG,GGB,GBG,BGG,BBG,GBB,BGB,BBB}

The possible number of boys are 0,1,2 and 3.

Number of boys Favorable outcome Probability

0 GGG $\frac{1}{8}$

1 GGB,GBG,BGG $\frac{3}{8}$

2 GBB,BGB,BBG $\frac{3}{8}$

3 BBB $\frac{1}{8}$

Since the probabilities are not equal the events are not equally likely.

c) Flip a coin until you get a head or 3 consecutive tails; record each flip.

Getting a head in a trial is dependent on the previous toss.

Similarly getting 3 consecutive tails also dependent on previous toss.

Hence, the probabilities cannot be equal and events cannot be equally likely.

d) Roll two dice; record the larger number

The sample space of rolling two dice is

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

Now we form a table that the number of time each number occurs as maximum number then we find probability,

Highest number Number of times Probability

1 1 $\frac{1}{36}$

2 3 $\frac{3}{36}$

3 5 $\frac{5}{36}$

4 7 $\frac{7}{36}$

5 9 $\frac{9}{36}$

6 11 $\frac{11}{36}$

Since the probabilities are not the same the events are not equally likely.

Hay 162 refugiados en el campamento. Si hubiera mas de 162, ya no recivirian la misma racion de comida. Cada uno recive un paquete de galletas, dos paquetes de arroz y pienso k una botella y media de agua (aunque lo de el agua suene un poko ilogico).
