Answer:

<em>Two possible answers below</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probability and Sets</u>

We are given two sets: Students that play basketball and students that play baseball.

It's given there are 29 students in certain Algebra 2 class, 10 of which don't play any of the mentioned sports.

This leaves only 29-10=19 players of either baseball, basketball, or both sports. If one student is randomly selected, then the propability that they play basketball or baseball is:

\displaystyle P=\frac{19}{29}

P = 0.66

Note: if we are to calculate the probability to choose one student who plays only one of the sports, then we proceed as follows:

We also know 7 students play basketball and 14 play baseball. Since 14+7 =21, the difference of 21-19=2 students corresponds to those who play both sports.

Thus, there 19-2=17 students who play only one of the sports. The probability is:

\displaystyle P=\frac{17}{29}

P = 0.59

At what point does the curve have maximum curvature? y = 9 ln(x) (x, y) =
Andrews [41]

y = 9ln(x) 
<span>y' = 9x^-1 =9/x</span>
y'' = -9x^-2 =-9/x^2

curvature k = |y''| / (1 + (y')^2)^(3/2) 

<span>= |-9/x^2| / (1 + (9/x)^2)^(3/2) 
= (9/x^2) / (1 + 81/x^2)^(3/2) 
= (9/x^2) / [(1/x^3) (x^2 + 81)^(3/2)] 
= 9x(x^2 + 81)^(-3/2). 

To maximize the curvature, </span>

we find where k' = 0. <span>
k' = 9 * (x^2 + 81)^(-3/2) + 9x * -3x(x^2 + 81)^(-5/2) 
...= 9(x^2 + 81)^(-5/2) [(x^2 + 81) - 3x^2] 
...= 9(81 - 2x^2)/(x^2 + 81)^(5/2) 

Setting k' = 0 yields x = ±9/√2. 

Since k' < 0 for x < -9/√2 and k' > 0 for x > -9/√2 (and less than 9/√2), 
we have a minimum at x = -9/√2. 

Since k' > 0 for x < 9/√2 (and greater than 9/√2) and k' < 0 for x > 9/√2, 
we have a maximum at x = 9/√2. </span>

x=9/√2=6.36

<span>y=9 ln(x)=9ln(6.36)=16.66</span>  

the answer is
(x,y)=(6.36,16.66)

The following data were collected by counting the number of operating rooms in use atTampa general Hospital over a 20-day period
arlik [135]

Answer:

a)

Operating room x    1         2      3       4

P(x)                          0.15  0.25  0.4   0.2

b)

The graph of probability distribution is in attached image.

c)

All the probabilities lies in the range (0 to 1) and the probabilities add up to 1 so, the computed probability distribution is the valid probability distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of operating rooms   Days

1                                                  3

2                                                 5

3                                                 8

4                                                 4

a)

Sum of frequencies=1+2+3+4=10

Operating rooms x   frequency f  Relative frequency

1                                    3                    3/20=0.15

2                                   5                   5/20=0.25

3                                   8                   8/20=0.4

4                                   4                   4/20=0.2

So, using the relative frequency approach, a discrete probability distribution for number of operating rooms in use on any given day is

Operating room x    1         2      3       4

P(x)                          0.15  0.25  0.4   0.2

b)

The graph of probability distribution is in attached image.

c)

There are two conditions for a probability distribution to be valid

1. All probability must ranges from 0 to 1.

2. All probabilities must add up to 1.

We can see that all the probabilities lies in the range (0 to 1), so, condition 1 is satisfied.

For condition 2,

sum[p(x)]= 0.15+0.25+0.4+0.2=0.4+0.6=1.

As the probabilities add up to 1, so the condition 2 is also satisfied.

Thus, the computed probability distribution is the valid probability distribution.
