Modelling the ramp as right-angle triangle, we have the following diagram (attached)

We'll use one of the trigonometry ratios to find the elevation angle

We have the side that is adjacent to x° = 12 feet and the side that is opposite to x° = 3 feet, we will use the tan ratio

tan x° = opposite side / adjacent side
tan x° = 3/12
tan x° = 0.25
x° = tan⁻¹ (0.25)
x° = 14.03624347 ≈ 14°

Approximate the stationary matrix S for the transition matrix P by computing powers of the transition matrix P.
Scrat [10]

Answer:

S = [0.2069,0.7931]

Step-by-step explanation:

Transition Matrix:

P=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]

Stationary matrix S for the transition matrix P is obtained by computing powers of the transition matrix P ( k powers ) until all the two rows of transition matrix p are equal or identical.

Transition matrix P raised to the power 2 (at k = 2)

P^{2} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right] X \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]

P^{2} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.2203&0.7797\\0.2034&0.7966\end{array}\right]

Transition matrix P raised to the power 3 (at k = 3)

P^{3} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right] X \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]X\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]

P^{3} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.2203&0.7797\\0.2034&0.7966\end{array}\right] X \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]

  P^{3} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.2086&0.7914\\0.2064&0.7936\end{array}\right]

Transition matrix P raised to the power 4 (at k = 4)

P^{4} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right] X \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]X\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]X\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]

P^{4} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.2086&0.7914\\0.2064&0.7936\end{array}\right] X \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]

P^{4} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.2071&0.7929\\0.2068&0.7932\end{array}\right]

Transition matrix P raised to the power 5 (at k = 5)

P^{5} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right] X \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]X\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]X\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]X\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]

P^{5} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.2071&0.7929\\0.2068&0.7932\end{array}\right] X \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.31&0.69\\0.18&0.82\end{array}\right]

P^{5} =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.2069&0.7931\\0.2069&0.7931\end{array}\right]

P⁵ at k = 5 both the rows identical. Hence the stationary matrix S is:

S = [ 0.2069 , 0.7931 ]

A data set includes the following grades: 98, 94, 93, 82, 61, 80. Suppose that 61 is removed from the data. How is the median af
puteri [66]

Answer:

<u>If we remove 61 from the data set, the median changes from 87.5 to 93.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's calculate the median of the original data set:

Median = (3rd term + 4th term)/2 because the number of terms are even and our median mark is the average of the two middle marks, in this case, 82 and 93.

Median = (82 + 93)/2

Median = 87.5

2. Let's calculate the median of the data set removing 61:

Median = 3rd term because our median mark is the middle mark, in this case, 93. It is the middle mark because there are 2 scores before it (80 and 82) and 2 scores (94 and 98) after it.

Median = 93

Find the indicated limit, if it exists.(7 points)
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

The left hand limit is when we approach zero from left. We use the function on this domain in finding the limit.

\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x)=7-x^2

\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x)=7-(0)^2=7

The right hand limit is

\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x)=10x+7

\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x)=10(0)+7=7

Since the left hand limit equals the right hand limit;

\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)=7
