Using the unit circle, for the cos function to be positive, angle A must lie in either quadrant I or quadrant IV

Using the unit circle, If the sine is negative, angle A must lie in either quadrant III or quadrant IV. Since we know that the cosine is positive, this only leaves quadrant IV

cos = adj/hyp

Using Pythagorean theorem,

$12^{2} +b^{2} = 13^{2}$

b = ±5 (we know its -5 since we know sinA is negative)

this means that the x coord is 12, and the y coord is -5

any proportion of these two numbers would work as an answer

e.g. (12, -5), (24,-10), (12/13, -5/13), are all valid answers

sinA = opp/hyp

sinA = -5/13

tanA = opp/adj

tanA = -5/12

A coin is to be tossed as many times as necessary to turn up one head. Thus the elements c of the sample space C are H, TH, TTH,

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As stated in the question, the probability to toss a coin and turn up heads in the first try is $\frac{1}{2}$ , in the second is $\frac{1}{4}$ , in the third is $\frac{1}{8}$ and so on. Then, P(C) is given by the next sum:

$P(C)=\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}(\frac{1}{2} )^{n}=1$

This is a geometric series with factor $\frac{1}{2}$ . Then is convergent to $\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{2}}-1=1.$ . With this we have proved that P(C)=1.

Now, observe that

$P(H)=\frac{1}{2}, P(TH)=\frac{1}{4},P(TTH)=\frac{1}{8},P(TTTH)=\frac{1}{16},P(TTTTH)=\frac{1}{32},P(TTTTTH)=\frac{1}{64}.$

Then

$P(C1)=P(H)+P(TH)+P(TTH)+P(TTTH)+P(TTTTH)=\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{8} +\frac{1}{16} +\frac{1}{32} =\frac{31}{32}$

$P(C2)=P(TTTTH)+P(TTTTTH)=\frac{1}{32}+\frac{1}{64} =\frac{3}{64}$

$P(C1\cap C2)=P(TTTTH)=\frac{1}{32}$

and

$P(C1\cup C2)=P(H)+P(TH)+P(TTH)+P(TTTH)+P(TTTTH)+P(TTTTTH)=\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{8} +\frac{1}{16} +\frac{1}{32} +\frac{1}{64}=\frac{63}{64}$

Suppose we are interested in bidding on a piece of land and we know one other bidder is interested. The seller announced that th

Answer:

a) 0.32 = 32% probability that your bid will be accepted

b) 0.72 = 72% probability that your bid will be accepted

c) An amount in excess of $15,400.

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X lower than x is given by the following formula.

$P(X \leq x) = \frac{x - a}{b-a}$

Assume that the competitor's bid x is a random variable that is uniformly distributed between $10,400 and $15,400.

This means that $a = 10400, b = 15400$

a. Suppose you bid $12,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted (to 2 decimals)?

You will win if the competitor bids less than 12000. So

$P(X \leq 12000) = \frac{12000 - 10400}{15400 - 10400} = 0.32$

0.32 = 32% probability that your bid will be accepted

b. Suppose you bid $14,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted?

You will win if the competitor bids less than 14000. So

$P(X \leq 14000) = \frac{14000 - 10400}{15400 - 10400} = 0.72$

0.72 = 72% probability that your bid will be accepted

c. What amount should you bid to maximize the probability that you get the property (in dollars)?

His bid is uniformly distributed between $10,400 and $15,400.

So, to maximize the probability that you get the property, you should bid an amount in excess of $15,400.

A lotion is made from an oil blend costing $1.50 per ounce and glycerin costing $1.00 per ounce. Four ounces of lotion costs $5.

yanalaym [24]

X-ounces of an oil blend,
y - ounces of glycerin
x + y = 4 ⇒ y = 4 - x
1.5 x + y = 5.50
1.5 x + 4 - x = 5.50
0.5 x = 5.50 - 4
0.5 x = 1.50
x = 3
y = 4 - 3 = 1
There are 3 ounces of an oil blend and 1 ounce of glycerin.
