Answer:

The probability that student chose running is $\frac{30}{74}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

74 students choose to attend one of three after-school activities: football, tennis, or running.

16 students choose football, 28 students choose tennis.

The students choose running = 74 - 16 - 28

The students choose running = 30

It means out of 74 students 30 choose running.

$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

$\text{Probability of Running}=\frac{30}{74}$

Hence, the probability that student chose running is $\frac{30}{74}$ .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the null hypothesis,

H0: p = 88

For the alternative hypothesis,

Ha: p < 88

Considering the population proportion, probability of success, p = 0.88

q = probability of failure = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.88 = 0.12

Considering the sample,

Sample proportion, P = x/n

Where

x = number of success = 21

n = number of samples = 32

P = 21/32 = 0.66

We would determine the test statistic which is the z score

z = (P - p)/√pq/n

z = (0.66 - 0.88)/√(0.88 × 0.12)/32 = - 3.83

The corresponding p value would be determined by looking at the normal distribution table for the area below the z score. Therefore,

P value = 0.00006

To find the equation of a line, we need the slope of the line and a point on the line. Since we are requested to find the equati

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

$x-4y+4=0$

$f(x)=\sqrt x$ and x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a curve

$y=\sqrt x$

We have to find the equation of tangent at point (4,2) on the given curve.

Let y=f(x)

Differentiate w.r.t x

$f'(x)=\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt x}$

By using the formula $\frac{d(\sqrt x)}{dx}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt x}$

Substitute x=4

Slope of tangent

$m=f'(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt 4}=\frac{1}{2\times 2}=\frac{1}{4}$

In given question

$m=\lim_{x\rightarrow a}\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}$

$\frac{1}{4}=\lim_{x\rightarrow 4}\frac{f(x)-f(4)}{x-4}$

By comparing we get a=4

Point-slope form

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Using the formula

The equation of tangent at point (4,2)

$y-2=\frac{1}{4}(x-4)$

$4y-8=x-4$

$x-4y-4+8=0$

$x-4y+4=0$

The number of errors in a textbook follow a poisson distribution with a mean of 0.01 errors per page. what is the probability th

neonofarm [45]

Mean number of errors in each page = 0.01
Mean number of errors in 100 pages = 0.01*100=1

It is possible to use the cumulative distribution function (CMF), but the math is a little more complex, involving the gamma-function. Tables and software are available for that purpose.

Thus it is easier to evaluate with a calculator for the individual cases of k=0,1,2 and 3.

The Poisson distribution has a PMF (probability mass function)

$P(k):=\frac{\lambda^ke^{-\lambda}}{k!}$
with λ = 1
=>
$P(0):=\frac{1^0e^{-1}}{0!}=0.3678794$
$P(1):=\frac{1^1e^{-1}}{1!}=0.3678794$
$P(2):=\frac{1^2e^{-1}}{2!}=0.1839397$
$P(3):=\frac{1^3e^{-1}}{3!}=0.0613132$
=>
$P(k$
or
P(k<=3)=0.9810 (to four decimal places)

Solve 5x = 2 written a afrction inits simplest form

Elden [556K]

Answer:

x = 2/5

General Formulas and Concepts:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Write equation</u>

5x = 2

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

Divide both sides by 5: x = 2/5

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution</em>.

Substitute: 5(2/5) = 2
Multiply: 10/5 = 2
Divide: 2 = 2
