A moving sidewalk in an airport moves people between gates. It takes Jason's 8-year-old

likoan [24]

Answer:

The sidewalk moves at 0.5 ft/sec

Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the side walk and y represent her walking speed

It takes Jason's 8-year-old daughter Josie 44 sec to travel 176 ft walking with the sidewalk

Distance = speed × time

176 = (x+y)×44

44x+44y = 176

x+y = 4 .......1

It takes her 7 sec to walk 21 ft against the moving sidewalk in the opposite direction).

21 = (y-x)7

7y - 7x = 21

y - x = 3 ......2

Add equation 1 to 2

2y = 7

y = 3.5 ft/sec

From equation 1

x + y = 4

x = 4 - 3.5 = 0.5

x = 0.5 ft/sec

The sidewalk moves at 0.5 ft/sec

Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5ft/sec

According to a Yale program on climate change communication survey, 71% of Americans think global warming is happening.† (a) For

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

a) 0.2741 = 27.41% probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring

b) 0.7611 = 76.11% probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$p = 0.71$

(a) For a sample of 16 Americans, what is the probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring?

Here $n = 16$ , we want $P(X \geq 13)$ . So

$P(X \geq 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16)$

In which

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

$P(X = 13) = C_{16,13}.(0.71)^{13}.(0.29)^{3} = 0.1591$

$P(X = 14) = C_{16,14}.(0.71)^{14}.(0.29)^{2} = 0.0835$

$P(X = 15) = C_{16,15}.(0.71)^{15}.(0.29)^{1} = 0.0273$

$P(X = 16) = C_{16,16}.(0.71)^{16}.(0.29)^{0} = 0.0042$

$P(X \geq 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) = 0.1591 + 0.0835 + 0.0273 + 0.0042 = 0.2741$

0.2741 = 27.41% probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring

(b) For a sample of 160 Americans, what is the probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring?

Now $n = 160$ . So

$\mu = E(X) = np = 160*0.71 = 113.6$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{160*0.71*0.29} = 5.74$

Using continuity correction, this is $P(X \geq 110 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 109.5)$ , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 109.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{109.5 - 113.6}{5.74}$

$Z = -0.71$

$Z = -0.71$ has a pvalue of 0.2389

1 - 0.2389 = 0.7611

0.7611 = 76.11% probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring

4 = 1 - n + 4? Geometry btw

eimsori [14]

Answer:

N = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

4 = 1 - n -4

Subtract the numbers first

1 - 4 = -3

Then rearrange the terms

4 = -3 - n

-----> 4 = n - -3

The you add 3 to both sides of the equations

4 + 3 = -n - 3 + 3

Consider the following quadratic function Part 3 of 6: Find the x-intercepts. Express it in ordered pairs.Part 4 of 6: Find the

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The line of symmetry is x = -3

Explanation:

Given a quadratic function, we know that the graph is a parabola. The general form of a parabola is:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

The line of symmetry coincides with the x-axis of the vertex. To find the x-coordinate of the vertex, we can use the formula:

$x_v=-\frac{b}{2a}$

In this problem, we have:

$y=-x^2-6x-13$

Then:

a = -1

b = -6

We write now:

$x_v=-\frac{-6}{2(-1)}=-\frac{-6}{-2}=-\frac{6}{2}=-3$

Part 3:

For this part, we need to find the x-intercepts. This is, when y = 0:

$-x^2-6x-13=0$

To solve this, we can use the quadratic formula:

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4\cdot(-1)\cdot(-13)}}{2(-1)}$

And solve:

$x_{1,2}=\frac{6\pm\sqrt{36-52}}{-2}$ $x_{1,2}=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{-16}}{2}$

Since there is no solution to the square root of a negative number, the function does not have any x-intercept. The correct option is ZERO x-intercepts.

Part 4:

To find the y intercept, we need to find the value of y when x = 0:
