Answer:

-24

Step-by-step explanation:

=3×2-5×+6

=3×2-(5×+6)

=3×2-(+30)

=3×2-30

=6-30

=-24

Does Every positive real number have both a positive and negative cube root?

vovangra [49]

Yes. For example, 25. The square root of 25 is 5 because 5*5=25. Multiplying two negatives always= a positive, so -5*-5=25.

A particular telephone number is used to receive both voice calls and fax messages. Suppose that 25% of the incoming calls invol

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

a) 0.214 = 21.4% probability that at most 4 of the calls involve a fax message

b) 0.118 = 11.8% probability that exactly 4 of the calls involve a fax message

c) 0.904 = 90.4% probability that at least 4 of the calls involve a fax message

d) 0.786 = 78.6% probability that more than 4 of the calls involve a fax message

Step-by-step explanation:

For each call, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it involves a fax message, or it does not. The probability of a call involving a fax message is independent of other calls. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

25% of the incoming calls involve fax messages

This means that $p = 0.25$

25 incoming calls.

This means that $n = 25$

a. What is the probability that at most 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$ .

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{25,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{25} = 0.001$

$P(X = 1) = C_{25,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{24} = 0.006$

$P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{23} = 0.025$

$P(X = 3) = C_{25,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{22} = 0.064$

$P(X = 4) = C_{25,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{21} = 0.118$

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.001 + 0.006 + 0.025 + 0.064 + 0.118 = 0.214$

0.214 = 21.4% probability that at most 4 of the calls involve a fax message

b. What is the probability that exactly 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

$P(X = 4) = C_{25,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{21} = 0.118$

0.118 = 11.8% probability that exactly 4 of the calls involve a fax message.

c. What is the probability that at least 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

Either less than 4 calls involve fax messages, or at least 4 do. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. So

$P(X < 4) + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 4)$ . Then

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4)$

In which

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{25,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{25} = 0.001$

$P(X = 1) = C_{25,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{24} = 0.006$

$P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{23} = 0.025$

$P(X = 3) = C_{25,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{22} = 0.064$

$P(X$

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4) = 1 - 0.096 = 0.904$

0.904 = 90.4% probability that at least 4 of the calls involve a fax message.

d. What is the probability that more than 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

Very similar to c.

$P(X \leq 4) + P(X > 4) = 1$

From a), $P(X \leq 4) = 0.214)$

Then

$P(X > 4) = 1 - 0.214 = 0.786$

0.786 = 78.6% probability that more than 4 of the calls involve a fax message

Olegator [25]

Answer:

a) The variable of the study is: milligrams of nitrogen per liter of water.

This is the amount that needs to be measured and analyzed to reach conclusions in the study.

b) The variable is quantitative. The quantitative variables are those that represent quantities. This variables can be measured on a continuous or discrete scale. Then, all the variables that you can measure or count are quantitative variables(height of trees, number of passengers per car, wind speed, milligrams of nitrogen per liter, etc). On the other hand, qualitative variables are those that can’ t be measured, and they represent attributes, like apple colors (red, green), size of trousers (small, medium, large) and so on.

c) The population under study is the milligrams of nitrogen per liter of water that are in the entire lake. You can estimate the parameters of the population by taking samples (In the example, 28 samples are taken).
