Answer 1

Answer:

a

[tex]G  =   0.007523 [/tex]

b

 The  number of cars the  highway patrol officer would watch before a  car that is seen is [tex]E(X) = 1.6027 [/tex]

The standard deviation is   [tex]s  =  0.9829 [/tex]

gg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mean is [tex]\mu = 71.5 \ miles/hour[/tex]

The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 4.75 \ miles/hour[/tex]

The speed limit is [tex] x = 70 \ miles /hour[/tex]

Generally the probability of getting a car that is moving with speed greater than the speed limit is mathematically represented as

[tex]p =P(X > x ) = P(X > 70) = P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } > \frac{70 - 71.5 }{4.75})[/tex]

=> [tex] p= P(X > 70) = P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } > \frac{70 - 71.5 }{4.75})[/tex]

=> [tex] p= P(X > 70) = P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } > -0.31579 )[/tex]

Here

[tex]\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z(The \ standardized \ value \ of X )[/tex]

So

=> [tex] p= P(X > 70) = P(Z > -0.31579 )[/tex]

From the z-table

[tex]p = P(Z > -0.31579 ) = 0.62392[/tex]

So

[tex] p = P(X > 70) = 0.62392 [/tex]

Generally the probability of getting a car that is not moving with speed greater than the speed limit is mathematically represented as

[tex]q = 1 - p[/tex]

=> [tex]q = 1 - 0.62392 [/tex]

=> [tex]q = 0.37608 [/tex]

Generally the probability of getting 5 cars that are not speeding is mathematically represented as

[tex]G = q^5[/tex]

=> [tex]G = (0.37608)^5[/tex]

=> [tex]G = 0.007523 [/tex]

Generally the number of cars that the highway patrol officer is expected to watch until the first car that is speeding is gotten is mathematically represented as

[tex]E(X) = \frac{1}{p}[/tex]

=> [tex]E(X) = \frac{1}{0.62392}[/tex]

=> [tex]E(X) = 1.6027 [/tex]

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{1 - p }{ p^2} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]s  =  \sqrt{\frac{1 -0.62392 }{ (0.62392)^2} }[/tex]

=> [tex]s = 0.9829 [/tex]

Answer 2

The probability that 5 cars pass and none are speeding is 0.007523 and the number of cars the highway patrol officer would watch before a car that is seen is E(X) = 1.6027

What is normal a distribution?

It is also called the Gaussian Distribution. It is the most important continuous probability distribution. The curve looks like a bell, so it is also called a bell curve.

The z-score is a numerical measurement used in statistics of the value's relationship to the mean of a group of values, measured in terms of standards from the mean.

The distribution of passenger vehicle speeds traveling on a certain freeway in California is nearly normal with a mean of 71.5 miles/hour and a standard deviation of 4.75 miles/hour.

The speed limit on this stretch of the freeway is 70 miles/hour.

Generally, the probability of getting a car that is moving with speed greater than the speed limit is mathematically represented as;

[tex]p = P(X > x) = P(X > 70) = P(z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma } > \dfrac{70 - 71.5}{4.75})\\\\p = P(X > 70 ) = P(\dfrac{X -\mu}{\sigma} > -0.31579)[/tex]

From the z-table

[tex]p = P(X > 70)= P(z > -0.31579) \\\\p = 0.62392[/tex]

Generally, the probability of getting a car that is not moving with speed greater than the speed limit will be

q = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.62392

q = 0.37608

Generally, the probability of getting cars that are not speeding will be

G = q⁵

G = 0.37608⁵

G = 0.007523

The number of cars that the highway patrol officer is expected to watch until the first car that is speeding is gotten will be

[tex]\rm E(X) = \dfrac{1}{p}\\\\E(X) = \dfrac{1}{0.62392}\\\\E(X) = 1.6027[/tex]

The standard deviation will be

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{1-p}{p}}\\\\\\\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{1-0.63292}{0.62392}}\\\\\\\sigma = 0.9829[/tex]

The difference between the longest and shortest light bulb lifetime was five years is correct interpretation so option (B) will be correct.

What is the standard deviation?

The square root of the variance is used to calculate the standard deviation, a statistic that expresses how widely distributed a dataset is in relation to its mean.

In other meaning, standard deviation shows the deviation of the value of data from the mean.

Standard deviation is how much-given data is deviate from the mean of it.

Henry is filling up his fish tank with water at a constant rate.

At 2 minutes the water level is 16 cm. At 8 minutes the water level is at 34 cm.

Explain how you figured out the water level at 0 minutes.

Answers

Answer:

It would have started to be filled at 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

FInd teh difference between 8 and 2 which is 6

Find the difference between 34 and 16 which is 18

Divide 18 by 6 which is 3

Subtract 2(3) = 6 by 16 which is 10

Using the linear system to solve the problem. Then the water level at 0 minutes is 10 cm.

What is the linear system?

It is a system of an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. It is a combination of infinite points side by side.

Given

Henry is filling up his fish tank with water at a constant rate.

At 2 minutes the water level is 16 cm.

At 8 minutes the water level is at 34 cm.

We know that the linear equation

[tex]\rm y = mx +c[/tex]

Where

m be the rate of filling water in the tank.

c be the initial water in the tank.

y be the water level of the tank in cm.

x be the time in minutes.

At 2 minutes the water level is 16 cm. Then

[tex]\rm 16 = 2m + c[/tex]  ...1

At 8 minutes the water level is at 34 cm. then

[tex]\rm 34 = 8m +c[/tex]   ...2

From equations 1 and 2, we have

m = 3, and c = 10

Then the equation will be

[tex]\rm y = 3x + 10[/tex]

For x = 0, then y = 10

Thus, the water level at 0 minutes is 10 cm.

Answer:

a. I, III, II

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, lets take a look at I, II, and III.

First, lets take a look at I. It states that the m∠SQT = 180 by the definition of a straight angle. We can get that the m∠SQT = 180 just by looking at the image and by knowing our second given. So I just has to be below the second given.

Now, lets take a look at II. It states that m∠SQV + m∠VQT = 180 by the Substitution Property of Equality. We can find that m∠SQV + m∠VQT = 180 just by looking at the image along. But knowing that it is found by the Substitution Property of Equality, we can find that m∠SQV + m∠VQT = 180 was derived from the fact that m∠SQT = 180 and that m∠SQV + m∠VQT = m∠SQT, or I and III. So II was derived from I and III, and II should come after I and III.

Now lets look at III. It states that m∠SQV + m∠VQT = m∠SQT by the Angle Addition Postulate. Since III is found by the Angle Addition Postulate, we can find that III was derived from I, and III should come after I.

So knowing that II should come after III and I, and that III should come after I, we can find that the order should be I, III, II.

-6x = -21       |divdie both sides by (-6)

x = -21/(-6)

x = 21/6

A person invested $6,000 in an account growing at a rate allowing the money to
double every 11 years. How much money would be in the account after 19 years, to the
nearest dollar?

Answers

Answer:

P(19)=$19,852

To the nearest dollar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Growth

The natural growth of some magnitudes can be modeled by the equation:

[tex]P(t)=P_o(1+r)^t[/tex]

Where P is the actual amount of the magnitude, Po is its initial amount, r is the growth rate and t is the time.

We are given the condition that an investment of Po=$6,000 in an account doubles every 11 years. The final value of the investment in t=11 is P(11)=$12,000.

Substituting into the general equation:

[tex]12,000=6,000(1+r)^{11}[/tex]

Dividing by 6,000 and swapping sides:

[tex](1+r)^{11}=2[/tex]

Taking the 11th root:

[tex]1+r=\sqrt[11]{2}[/tex]

[tex]1+r=1.065[/tex]

Substituting into the formula:

[tex]P(t)=6,000(1.065)^t[/tex]

Now we need to find the money in the account after t=19 years:

[tex]P(19)=$6,000(1.065)^{19}[/tex]

P(19)=$19,852

To the nearest dollar.
