A number is chosen at random from 1 to 25. find the probability of selecting a number less than 3?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: Because we are finding the probability of selecting a number less than three, you are left with two options. The answer would be either one, or two.

If you were to also use three it wouldn´t be correct because three is equivalent to three.

After a baseball is hit, the height h (in feet) of the ball above the ground t seconds after it is hit can be approximated by th

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The ball will take 4.05 seconds to hit the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$h=-16t^{2}+64t+3$

This is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open down

The vertex is a maximum

we know that

The ball hit the ground when h=0

Solve the quadratic equation

For h=0

$-16t^{2}+64t+3=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$at^{2} +bt+c=0$ is equal to

$t=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$-16t^{2}+64t+3=0$

$a=-16\\b=64\\c=3$

substitute in the formula

$t=\frac{-64(+/-)\sqrt{64^{2}-4(-16)(3)}} {2(-16)}$

$t=\frac{-64(+/-)\sqrt{4,288}} {-32}$

$t=\frac{64(-)\sqrt{4,288}} {32}=-0.05\ sec$ ---> the time cannot be a negative number

$t=\frac{64(+)\sqrt{4,288}} {32}=4.05\ sec$

therefore

The ball will take 4.05 seconds to hit the ground.

Answer:

Q1 A Scatter plot. Q2

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1. We have a data set containing values of car and age group, if we plot value of the car on y-axis and the age on x, it is logical that two different age groups can own a care with same value, so we can have two values on x corresponding to one value on the y-axis, if we can use scatter plot to visually depict this data.

Q2 50 couples with bride age and groom age , here we can take age difference and number of couples that fit in the catogery, a two way table can be used to describe this data(two columns ).

A veterinarian weighed a sample of 666 puppies. Here are each of their weights (in kilograms): 1, 2, 7, 7, 10, 151,2,7,7,10,151,

rjkz [21]

Answer:

The standard deviation of the weight, σ, is approximately 4.73 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The weights of the six puppies are;

$x_i$ = 1, 2, 7, 7, 10, and 15

The number of puppies, n = 6

Therefore, we have;

The mean = μ = ∑x/n = (1 + 2 + 7 + 7 + 10 + 15)/6 = 7

The standard deviation, σ, is given as follows;

$\sigma =\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum \left (x_i-\mu \right )^{2} }{n}}$

By substituting, we have;

$\sigma =\sqrt{\dfrac{ \left (1-7 \right )^{2} + \left (2-7 \right )^{2} + \left (7-7 \right )^{2} + \left (7-7 \right )^{2} + \left (10-7 \right )^{2} + \left (15-7 \right )^{2} }{6}}$

Simplifying gives;

$\sigma =\sqrt{\dfrac{ \left (-6 \right )^{2} + \left (-5 \right )^{2} + \left (0 \right )^{2} + \left (0 \right )^{2} + \left (3 \right )^{2} + \left (8 \right )^{2} }{6}} =\sqrt{\dfrac{ 36 + 25 + 0 +0+ 9 + 64 }{6}}$

$\sigma =\sqrt{\dfrac{ 134 }{6}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{67}{3} } \approx 4.72582$

The standard deviation of the weight, σ ≈ 4.73 kg to two decimal places.

Simplifying
2x + -3(3 * 0.6x + 2.7)

Multiply 3 * 0.6
2x + -3(1.8x + 2.7)

Reorder the terms:
2x + -3(2.7 + 1.8x)
2x + (2.7 * -3 + 1.8x * -3)
2x + (-8.1 + -5.4x)

Reorder the terms:
-8.1 + 2x + -5.4x

Combine like terms: 2x + -5.4x = -3.4x
-8.1 + -3.4x
