Answer:

mass of empty basket: 1.21 kg

Explanation:

the mass of basket is constant. Let the mass of basket be "b" and mass of each balls be "m"

Make equations:

  • b + 3(m) = 3.64  ___ equation 1
  • b + 5(m) = 5.26  ___ equation 2

<u>solve them simultaneously,</u>

  • 3.64 - 3(m) = 5.26 - 5(m)
  • -3(m) + 5(m) = 5.26 - 3.64
  • 2(m) = 1.62
  • m = 0.81 kg

<u>mass of basket,</u>

  • b = 3.64 - 3(m)
  • 3.64 - 3(0.81 )
  • 1.21 kg

  1. Bucket be x
  2. balls be y

Now

  • x+3y=3.64=>x=3.64-3y--(1)
  • x+5y=5.26=>x=5.26-5y

So

  • 3.64-3y=5.26-5y
  • -3y+5y=5.26-3.64
  • 2y=1.62
  • y=0.81kg

So

  • x=3.64-3(0.81)=3.64-2.43=1.21kg

Female athletes at the University of Colorado, Boulder, have a long-term graduation rate of 67% (Source: Chronicle of Higher Edu
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Yes, we can assume that the percent of female athletes graduating from the University of Colorado is less than 67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find p-value first:

z statistic = (p⁻ - p0) / √[p0 x (1 - p0) / n]

p⁻ = X / n = 21 / 38 = 0.5526316

the alternate hypothesis states that p-value must be under the normal curve, i.e. the percent of female athletes graduating remains at 67% 

H1: p < 0.67 

z = (0.5526316 - 0.67) / √[0.67 x (1 - 0.67) / 38] = -0.1173684 / 0.076278575

z = -1.538681 

using a p-value calculator for  z = -1.538681, confidence level of 5%

p-value = .062024, not significant

Since p-value is not significant, we must reject the alternate hypothesis and retain the null hypothesis.

Answer:

(x-1)^2+(y+4)^2=9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle is given by:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

Where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.

The center of the circle is (1, -4).

And the radius is 3.

Substitute:

(x-(1))^2+(y-(-4))^2=(3)^2

Simplify. Thus, our equation is:

(x-1)^2+(y+4)^2=9

Suppose the number of radios in a household has a binomial distribution with parameters n=11 and p=40%. Find the probability of
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for binomial distribution is expressed as

P(x=r) = nCr × q^(n-r) × p^r

From the information given,

n = 11

p = 40% = 40/100 = 0.4

q = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

x represent the number of radios

a) P( x = 1) or P(x = 9)

P(x = 1) = 11C1 × 0.6^(11-1) × 0.4^1

P(x = 1) = 0.027

P(x = 9) = 11C9 × 0.6^(11-9) × 0.4^9

P(x = 9) = 0.0052

P( x = 1) or P(x = 9) = 0.027 + 0.0052 = 0.0322

b) P(x lesser than or equal to 7) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2) + P(x = 3) + P(x = 4) + P(x = 5) + P(x = 6)

P(x = 0) = 11C0 × 0.6^(11-0) × 0.4^0 = 0.004

P(x = 1) = 0.027

P(x = 2) = 11C2 × 0.6^(11-2) × 0.4^2 = 0.089

P(x = 3) = 11C3 × 0.6^(11-3) × 0.4^3 = 0.177

P(x = 4) = 11C4 × 0.6^(11-4) × 0.4^4 = 0.24

P(x = 5) = 11C5 × 0.6^(11-5) × 0.4^5 = 0.22

P(x = 6) = 11C6 × 0.6^(11-6) × 0.4^6 = 0.15

P(x = 7) = 11C7 × 0.6^(11-7) × 0.4^7 = 0.15

P(x lesser than or equal to 7) = 0.004 + 0.027 + 0.089 + 0.177 + 0.24 + 0.22 + 0.15 + 0.07 = 0.977

c) P(x greater than or equal to 5) = 1 - P(x lesser than or equal to 4) = 1 - (0.004 + 0.027 + 0.089 + 0.177 + 0.24) = 1 - 0.537 = 0.463

d) P(x lesser than 9) = P(x lesser than or equal to 7) + P(x = 8)

P(x = 8) = 11C8 × 0.6^(11-8) × 0.4^8 = 0.02

P(x lesser than 9) = 0.977 + 0.02 = 0.997

e. P(x greater than 7) = 1 - P(x lesser than or equal to 7) = 1 - 0.977 = 0.023
