Answer: a) 0.2   b) 0.6

c) The event of selecting red tulip is not likely to occur.

The event of selecting purple tulip is likely to occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total number of tulips = 100

The number of red tulips = 20

The number of purple tulips =60

The probability that a randomly selected tulip bulb is​ red :-

\dfrac{\text{Number of red tulips}}{\text{Total tulips}}\\\\=\dfrac{20}{100}=0.2

Since 0.2 is less than 0.5.

It means that the event of selecting red tulip is not likely to occur.

The probability that a randomly selected tulip bulb is​ purple :-

\dfrac{\text{Number of purple tulips}}{\text{Total tulips}}\\\\=\dfrac{60}{100}=0.6

Since 0.6 is more than 0.5.

It means that the event of selecting purple tulip is likely to occur.

Determine whether the equation x^3 - 3x + 8 = 0 has any real root in the interval [0, 1]. Justify your answer.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The equation does not have a real root in the interval \rm [0,1]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make use of the intermediate value theorem.

The theorem states that if f is a continuous function whose domain is the interval [a, b], then it takes on any value between f(a) and f(b) at some point within the interval. There are two corollaries:

  1. If a continuous function has values of opposite sign inside an interval, then it has a root in that interval. This is also known as Bolzano's theorem.
  2. The image of a continuous function over an interval is itself an interval.

Of course, in our case, we will make use of the first one.

First, we need to proof that our function is continues in \rm [0,1], which it is since every polynomial is a continuous function on the entire line of real numbers. Then, we can apply the first corollary to the interval \rm [0,1], which means to evaluate the equation in 0 and 1:

f(x)=x^3-3x+8\\f(0)=8\\f(1)=6

Since both values have the same sign, positive in this case, we can say that by virtue of the first corollary of the intermediate value theorem the equation does not have a real root in the interval \rm [0,1]. I attached a plot of the equation in the interval \rm [-2,2] where you can clearly observe how the graph does not cross the x-axis in the interval.

On a test, wrong answers are worth -5.25 points and right answers are worth 3.5 points. So far, Marshall has one right answer an
Over [174]

Answer:

Marshall's current score is - 1.75 points

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Wrong answers are worth -5.25 points and right answers are worth 3.5 points.

Currently, Marshall has one right answer and one wrong answer.

To determine Marshall's current score, we will multiply the number of right answers has by 3.5 points and multiply the number of wrong answers by -3.5 points and then add the results.

Number of right answers = 1

Number of wrong answers = 1

For the right answer, he has

1 × 3.5 points = 3.5 points

For the wrong answer, he has

1 × - 5.25 points = -5.25 points

Hence, Marshall's current score is

3.5 points + ( -5.25 points) = 3.5 points - 5.25 points

= - 1.75 points.

Hence, Marshall's current score is - 1.75 points.
