A collection of 30 gems, all of which are identical in appearance, are supposedto be genuine diamonds, but actually contain 8 wo

rthless stones. The genuine diamonds arevalued at $1200 each. Two gems are selected.
(a) Let X denote the total actual value of the gems selected. Find the probability distribution function for X.
(b) Find E(X).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

There are 30 collections of gems, of which 8 are worthless;

Thus, the number of the genuine diamonds = 30 - 8 = 22.

Let X = random variable;

X consider the value as 0 (for  2 worthless stone selection),

X = 1200(1 worthless stone  & 1 genuine stone)

X = 2400 (2 genuine stones selected)

However, the numbers of ways of selecting and chosen Gems can be estimated as:

(^n_r) = (^{30}_2) \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{30!}{2!(30-2)!} \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{30!}{2!(28)!}  \\ \\  \implies \dfrac{30*29*28!}{2!(28)!} \\ \\  \implies  \dfrac{30*29}{2*1} \\ \\ \implies 435

Thus;

Pr (X = 0) = \dfrac{(^8_2)}{435}

Pr (X = 0) = \dfrac{\dfrac{8!}{2!(8-2)!}}{435} \\ \\ Pr (X = 0) = \dfrac{\dfrac{8!}{2!(6)!}}{435}  \\ \\ Pr (X = 0) = \dfrac{\dfrac{8*7*6!}{2!(6)!}}{435} \\ \\  Pr (X = 0) = \dfrac{\dfrac{8*7}{2*1}}{435} \\ \\   Pr (X = 0) = 0.0644

P(X =1200) = \dfrac{(^{8}_{1})(^{22}_{1})}{435}

P(X =1200) = \dfrac{ \dfrac{8!}{1!(8-1)!}) ( \dfrac{22!}{1!(22-1)!}) }{435}

P(X =1200) = \dfrac{ (8) ( 22) }{435}

P(X =1200) =0.4046

Pr (X = 2400) = \dfrac{(^{22}_2)}{435}

Pr (X = 2400) = \dfrac{\dfrac{22!}{2!(22-2)!}}{435} \\ \\ Pr (X = 2400) = \dfrac{\dfrac{22!}{2!(20)!}}{435}  \\ \\ Pr (X = 2400) = \dfrac{\dfrac{22*21*20!}{2!(20)!}}{435} \\ \\  Pr (X =2400) = \dfrac{\dfrac{22*21}{2*1}}{435} \\ \\   Pr (X = 2400) = 0.5310

To find E(X):

E(X) = (0 × 0.0644) + (1200 × 0.4046)  + (2400 × 0.5310)

E(X) = 0 + 485.52 + 1274.4

E(X) = 1759.92

To approach the runway, a pilot of a small plane must begin a 10 degrees descent starting from a height of 1983 feet above the g
ddd [48]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

2.2 miles

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that

... Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

We are given an angle (10°) and its opposite side length (1983 ft), and we are asked to find the hypotenuse (the straight-line distance from the plane to the runway).

... sin(10°) = (1983 ft)/distance

Multiplying by distance and dividing by sin(10°), we have ...

... distance = (1983 ft)/sin(10°) ≈ 11419.6 ft

We want to express this in miles, so we have ...

... 11419.6 ft = (m mi)×(5280 ft/mi)

... (11419.6 ft)/(5280 ft/mi) = m mi ≈ 2.163 mi

Rounding to tenths, the distance is ...

2.2 miles

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

The distance from the plane to the airport is different than the horizontal distance from the airport at which the descent must start. The latter distance is the "adjacent" leg of the triangle, so must be found using the tangent function. Rounded to tenths, it is 2.1 miles.

A salad dressing recipe requires at least 8 oz of oil to be combined with some combination of vinegar and lemon juice in a 16 oz
valentina_108 [34]

Let x represent the number of ounces of vinegar

Let y represent the number of ounces of lemon juice

Oil required = 8 oz

Container can hold = 16 oz

So the inequality equation will be :

x+y+8\geq16

Solve –3 + c = –8.<br> A. -5 B. 11 C. 5 D.-11
sergey [27]

Answer:

The answer is A. -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Write out the equation:

-3 + c = -8           Add 3 on both sides to isolate the varible on one side

       c =  -5         -8 plus 3 is -5

You must isolate the variable in order to solve equations with variables.

Isolating variable is basically when you divide, multiply, add, or subtract to put a variable on <u><em>ONLY </em></u>one side of the equation.
