2. A student usually saves $20 per month. He would like to reach a goal of saving $350 in 12 months. The student writes the equa

tion 350 = 12(x+20) to represent the situation. Solve the equation for x. Show your work or explain your answer. Write your answer as a sentence that describes what the variable x represents.

Answer:

x = 9.17 (nearest hundredth)

The variable x is the amount the student needs to save each month in addition to his usual saved amount of $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

350 = 12(x + 20)

Multiply out brackets: 350 = 12x + 240

Subtract 240 from both sides: 110 = 12x

Divide both sides by 12: 9 1/6 = x

x = 9.17 (nearest hundredth)

The variable x is the amount the student needs to save each month in addition to his usual saved amount of $20.

A grading scale is set up for 1000 students' test scores. It assumes the

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

464 students will score between 48 and 75. Using the z-distribution, we measure how many standard deviations each score is from the mean, then find the p-value associated with each score to find the proportion, and from the proportion, we find how many out of 1000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

It assumes the scores are normally distributed with a mean score of 75 and a standard deviation of 15.

This means that $\mu = 75, \sigma = 15$

How many students will score between 48 and 75?

First we find the proportion, which is the pvalue of Z when X = 75 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 48. So

X = 75

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

$Z = \frac{75 - 75}{15}$

$Z = 0$

$Z = 0$ has a p-value of 0.5

X = 48

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

$Z = \frac{48 - 75}{15}$

$Z = -1.8$

$Z = -1.8$ has a p-value of 0.0359

1 - 0.0359 = 0.4641

Out of 1000:

0.4641*1000 = 464

464 students will score between 48 and 75. Using the z-distribution, we measure how many standard deviations each score is from the mean, then find the p-value associated with each score to find the proportion, and from the proportion, we find how many out of 1000.

Find the missing probability. P(B)=720,P(A|B)=14 ,P(A∩B)=?

Ivan

Answer:

7/80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: P(B) = 7 / 20, P(A|B)= 1 / 4

Bayes theorem is used to mathematically represent the conditional probability of an event A given B. According to Bayes theorem:

$P(A|B)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$

Where P(B) is the probability of event B occurring, P(A ∩ B) is the probability of event A and event B occurring and P(A|B) is the probability of event A occurring given event B.

$P(A|B)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}\\\\P(A \cap B)=P(A|B)*P(B)\\\\Substituting:\\\\P(A \cap B)=1/4*7/20=7/80\\\\P(A \cap B)=7/80$

Which of the following is not one of the 8th roots of unity?

Anika [276]

Answer:

1+i

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the 8th roots of unity, you have to find the trigonometric form of unity.

1. Since $z=1=1+0\cdot i,$ then

$Rez=1,\\ \\Im z=0$

and

$|z|=\sqrt{1^2+0^2}=1,\\ \\\\\cos\varphi =\dfrac{Rez}{|z|}=\dfrac{1}{1}=1,\\ \\\sin\varphi =\dfrac{Imz}{|z|}=\dfrac{0}{1}=0.$

This gives you $\varphi=0.$

Thus,

$z=1\cdot(\cos 0+i\sin 0).$

2. The 8th roots can be calculated using following formula:

$\sqrt[8]{z}=\{\sqrt[8]{|z|} (\cos\dfrac{\varphi+2\pi k}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{\varphi+2\pi k}{8}), k=0,\ 1,\dots,7\}.$

Now

at k=0, $z_0=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 0}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 0}{8})=1\cdot (1+0\cdot i)=1;$

at k=1, $z_1=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 1}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 1}{8})=1\cdot (\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2};$

at k=2, $z_2=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 2}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 2}{8})=1\cdot (0+1\cdot i)=i;$

at k=3, $z_3=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 3}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 3}{8})=1\cdot (-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2};$

at k=4, $z_4=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 4}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 4}{8})=1\cdot (-1+0\cdot i)=-1;$

at k=5, $z_5=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 5}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 5}{8})=1\cdot (-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2};$

at k=6, $z_6=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 6}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 6}{8})=1\cdot (0-1\cdot i)=-i;$

at k=7, $z_7=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 7}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 7}{8})=1\cdot (\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2};$

The 8th roots are

$\{1,\ \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\ i, -\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\ -1, -\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\ -i,\ \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\}.$

Option C is icncorrect.
