The chart shows a certain city's population by age. Assume that the selections are independent events. If 8 residents of this city are selected at random, find the probability that the first 2 are 65 or older, the next 3 are 25-44 years old, the next 2 are 24 or younger, and the last is 45-64 years old.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.000014

Step-by-step explanation:

The chart is not provided so i will use an example chart to explain the answer. Here is a sample chart:

City X's Population by Age

0-24 years old 33%

25-44 years old 22%

45-64 years old 21%

65 or older 24%

In order to find probability of independent events we find the probability of each event occurring separately and then multiply the calculated probabilities together in the following way:

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

probability that the first 2 are 65 or older

Let A be the event that the first 2 are 65 or older

The probability of 65 or older 24% i.e. 0.24

So the probability that first 2 are 65 or older is:

0.24(select resident 1) * 0.24(select resident 2)

P(A) = 0.24 * 0.24

       = 0.0576

P(A) = 0.0576

probability that the next 3 are 25-44 years old

Let B be the event that the next 3 are 25-44 years old

25-44 years old 22%  i.e. 0.22

So the probability that the next 3 are 25-44 years old is:

0.22 * 0.22* 0.22

P(B) = 0.22 * 0.22 * 0.22

      = 0.010648

P(B) = 0.010648

probability that next 2 are 24 or younger

Let C be the event that the next 2 are 24 or younger

0-24 years old 33% i.e. 0.33

So the probability that the next 2 are 24 or younger is:

0.33 * 0.33

P(C) = 0.33 * 0.33

       = 0.1089

P(C) = 0.1089

probability that last is 45-64 years old

Let D be the event that last is 45-64 years old

45-64 years old 21%  i.e. 0.21

So the probability that last is 45-64 years old is:

0.21

P(D) = 0.21

So probability of these independent events is computed as:

P(A and B and C and D) = P(A) * P(B) * P(C) * P(C)

                                        = 0.0576 * 0.010648  * 0.1089  * 0.21

                                        = 0.000014

George buys a pizza he eats 3-8 of pizza for lunch and 1-4 of pizza for dinner what fraction of pizza has George eaten

Answers

Answer:

George has eaten 5/8 of the pizza

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Multiple 1/4 by 2 so it shares a common denominator with 3/8

1.4 x 2 = 2/8

Step 2: Because they share a denominator you can add the numerator together

2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8

Therefore George has eaten 5/8(Five Eigths) of the pizza

George has eaten 5 by 8 of the pizza

The calculation is as follows:

Here we have to Multiple 1 by 4 with 2 so it shares a common denominator with 3 by 8

[tex]1.4 \times 2 = 2\div 8[/tex]

Now  

since they share a denominator you can add the numerator together

So,  [tex]\frac{2}{8} + \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Height of cylinder = 4 cmVolume of cylinder = 616 cm³

To find,

Diameter of the base = ?

Firstly we'll find the base radius of the cylinder.

[tex]\longmapsto\rm{V_{(Cylinder)} = \pi r^2h}\\[/tex]

According to the question,

[tex]\longmapsto\rm{616= \dfrac{22}{7} \times r^2 \times 4}\\[/tex]

[tex]\longmapsto\rm{616 \times 7 = 22 \times r^2 \times 4}\\[/tex]

[tex]\longmapsto\rm{4312 = 88 \times r^2 }\\[/tex]

[tex]\longmapsto\rm{\cancel{\dfrac{4312}{88}} = r^2 }\\[/tex]

[tex]\longmapsto\rm{49 = r^2 }\\[/tex]

[tex]\longmapsto\rm{\sqrt{49} = r }\\[/tex]

[tex]\longmapsto\rm{7 \; cm = r }\\[/tex]

Now,

[tex]\longmapsto\rm{Diameter = 2r }\\[/tex]

[tex]\longmapsto\rm{Diameter = 2(7 \; cm) }\\[/tex]

[tex]\longmapsto\bf{Diameter = 14 \; cm}\\[/tex]

The required answer is 14 cm.

A model rocket is launched with an initial velocity of 240 ft/s. The height, h, in feet, of the rocket t seconds after the launch is given by
h = −16t2 + 240t.
How many seconds after launch will the rocket be 390 ft above the ground? Round to the nearest hundredth of a second.

s (smaller value)
s (larger value)

Answers

Answer:

About 1.85 seconds and 13.15 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height (in feet) of the rocket t seconds after launch is given by the equation:

[tex]h = -16t^2 + 240 t[/tex]

And we want to determine how many seconds after launch will be rocket be 390 feet above the ground.

Thus, let h = 390 and solve for t:

[tex]390 = -16t^2 +240t[/tex]

Isolate:

[tex]-16t^2 + 240 t - 390 = 0[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]8t^2 - 120t + 195 = 0[/tex]

We can use the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

In this case, a = 8, b = -120, and c = 195. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle t = \frac{-(-120)\pm \sqrt{(-120)^2 - 4(8)(195)}}{2(8)}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle t = \frac{120\pm\sqrt{8160}}{16}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle t = \frac{120\pm4\sqrt{510}}{16} = \frac{30\pm\sqrt{510}}{4}[/tex]

Thus, our two solutions are:

[tex]\displaystyle t = \frac{30+ \sqrt{510}}{4} \approx 13.15 \text{ or } t = \frac{30-\sqrt{510}}{4} \approx 1.85[/tex]

Hence, the rocket will be 390 feet above the ground after about 1.85 seconds and again after about 13.15 seconds.

What’s the next number is this series 31,29,24,22,17,

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Just find out the pattern.  It is decreasing, so let's find out how much it is decreasing by.

31-29= -2

29-24= -5

24-22= -2

22-17= -5

The pattern is -2, -5, -2, -5... So the next one should be -2 again!  17-2=15.

Remember, a pattern doesn't always have to be subtracting, adding, dividing, or multiplying at a constant number!  It can switch between two, like this problem!

According to the local union president, the mean gross income of plumbers in the Salt Lake City area follows a normal distribution with a mean of $48,000 and a population standard deviation of $2,000. A recent investigative reporter for KYAK TV found, for a sample of 49 plumbers, the mean gross income was $47,600. At the 0.05 significance level, is it reasonable to conclude that the mean income is not equal to $47,600? Determine the p value. State the Null and Alternate hypothesis: State the test statistic: State the Decision Rule: Show the calculation: What is the interpretation of the sample data? Show the P value

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

population mean [tex]\mu[/tex] = 47600

population standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] = 2000

sample size n = 49

Sample mean [tex]\over\ x[/tex] = 48000

Level of significance = 0.05

The null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows;

[tex]H_0 : \mu = 47600 \\ \\ H_1 : \mu \neq 47600[/tex]

Using the table of standard normal distribution, the value of z that corresponds to the two-tailed probability 0.05 is 1.96. Thus, we will reject the null hypothesis if the value of the test statistics is less than -1.96 or more than 1.96.

The test statistics can be calculated by using the formula:

[tex]z= \dfrac{\overline X - \mu }{\dfrac{\sigma}{ \sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z= \dfrac{ 48000-47600 }{\dfrac{2000}{ \sqrt{49}}}[/tex]

[tex]z= \dfrac{400 }{\dfrac{2000}{ 7}}[/tex]

[tex]z= 1.4[/tex]

Conclusion:

Since 1.4 is lesser  than 1.96 , we fail to reject the null hypothesis and  that there is insufficient information to conclude that the   mean gross income is not equal to $47600

The P-value is being calculate as follows:

P -value = 2P(Z>1.4)

P -value =  2 (1 - P(Z< 1.4)

P-value = 2 ( 1 - 0.91924)

P -value = 2 (0.08076 )

P -value = 0.16152

On Halloween, a man presents a child with a bowl containing eight different pieces of candy. He tells her that she may have three pieces. How many choices does she have

Answers

Answer:

[tex]56[/tex] choices

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we'll have to solve this problem with a permutation or a combination, but which one do we use? The answer is a combination because the order in which the child picks the candy does not matter.

To further demonstrate this, imagine I have 4 pieces of candy labeled A, B, C, and D. I could choose A, then C, then B or I could choose C, then B, then A, but in the end, I still have the same pieces, regardless of what order I pick them in. I hope that helps to understand why this problem will be solved with a combination.

Anyways, back to the solving! Remember that the combination formula is

[tex]_nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex], where n is the number of objects in the sample (the number of objects you choose from) and r is the number of objects that are to be chosen.

In this case, [tex]n=8[/tex] and [tex]r=3[/tex]. Substituting these values into the formula gives us:

[tex]_8C_3=\frac{8!}{3!5!}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1*5*4*3*2*1}[/tex] (Expand the factorials)

[tex]=\frac{8*7*6}{3*2*1}[/tex] (Cancel out [tex]5*4*3*2*1[/tex])

[tex]=\frac{8*7*6}{6}[/tex] (Evaluate denominator)

[tex]=8*7[/tex] (Cancel out [tex]6[/tex])

[tex]=56[/tex]

Therefore, the child has [tex]\bf56[/tex] different ways to pick the candies. Hope this helps!

Therefore, l+b=56

Now,

diagonal(d)=40

By pythogoras theorem,

h^2=p^2+b^2 (d=h here)

40^2=l^2+b^2

Now,

Square l+b=56

(l+b)^2=56^2

l^2+2lb+b^2=3136

2lb=3136-1600

lb=1536/2

Therefore, lb=768

b=768/l

Now,

Perimeter of rectangle(p)=2(l+b)

l+b=56

l+768/l=56

l^2+768=56l

Step-by-step explanation:

(f+g)(x) is the sum (term by term) of f(x) and g(x):

(f+g)(x) = 2x - 6 + 3x + 9

Combining like terms, we get

(f+g)(x) = 5x + 3

Answer:

(f+g)(x)= 5x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to find (f+g)(x). In other words, the sum of f(x) and g(x).

f(x) + g(x)

We know that f(x)= 2x-6 and g(x)=3x+9. Therefore, we can substitute the expressions in.

(2x-6) + (3x+9)

Now, simplify by combining like terms. Add the terms with variables, then the terms without variables.

(2x+3x) + (-6+9)

Add 2x and 3x.

5x + (-6 + 9)

Add -6 and 9.

ennetssee

Now what happens if we exchange the places of the letters n for example? Of course we get the same arrangement of letters. We don’t want to count these as 2 different arrangements since for our interests they are the same. We therefore divide  9!  by the number of times this type of double counting occurs.

Since the word has the letter n occurring twice we will start by diving by  2! .

The letter s occurs 2 times as well so we will have to divide by  2!  again.

Finally the letter e occurs 4 times and so we will have to divide by  4!  here.

Now we get the following result:

9/(2 x 2 x 4)=3780.  

So in conclusion there are 3780 different ways to arrange the letters in Tennessee.

Answer:

[tex]x = 30[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If 3, 9, 10, x are in proportion. Then,

[tex]x \times 3 = 10 \times 9[/tex]

[tex]x \times 3 = 90[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{90}{3} [/tex]

[tex]x = 30[/tex]

Hope it is helpful.....

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 3, 9, 10, x are in proportion <br> product of exterms = Product of means <br>

<br>

3x=9×10

X=(9x10)/3

X=90/3

X=30

Then you tell them that the stages of a business cycle in correct order are: Bow-Wow Company manufactures a product with a unit variable cost of $50 and a unit sales price of $88. Fixed manufacturing costs were $240,000 when 10,000 units were produced and sold. The company has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 1,000 units at $70 each in a foreign market which would not affect its present sales. If the company has sufficient (excess) capacity to produce the additional units, acceptance of the special order would affect net income as follows:a. Income would decrease by $4,000. b. Income would increase by $4,000. c. Income would increase by $70,000. d. Income would increase by $20,000.

PLEASE HELPRead the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Cutting cane was hard work, but it was nothing like what came next: Piles of freshly cut cane had to be fed into the ever-turning mill wheels, until they were completely crushed. The owners insisted that during the work hours the grinding never stop, no matter what. The mills were most often tended by women who were doing dangerous work while getting almost no rest. That was a very bad combination. An ax was often propped up near the rollers so if a slave closed her eyes for a second while pushing the cane, her arm could be hacked off before she was pulled through the merciless grinders. Guests at sugar plantations often remarked on how many one-armed people they saw. Day after day, week after week, month after month, the cane was cut, hauled to the mill, and fed through the rollers. The mills kept going as long as there was cane to grindthe season varied between four and ten months, depending on the local growing conditions. A visitor who came to Brazil in 1630 described the scene: "People the color of the very night, working briskly and moaning at the same time without a moment of peace or rest, whoever sees all the confused and noisy machinery . . . will say that this indeed is the image of Hell. Which text evidence best supports the authors' claim that a frantic pace made working conditions even worse? "The owners insisted that during the work hours the grinding never stop, no matter what."
