forty-five percent of the students in a dorm are business majors and fifty-five percent are non-business majors. business majors are twice as likely to do their studying at the library as non-business majors are. half of the business majors study at the library. if a randomly slected student from the dorm studies at the library, what is the probability the student is a business major

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

Defining the following events as :

B : Being a Business major

α : Studying at the library

∴ Given that :

[tex]$P(B) = \frac{45}{100}$[/tex]

         = 0.45

Again, P [ Studying at the library | Being a Business major ] = 2 P [ Studying at the library | Being a non business major ]

[tex]$P[ \alpha | B] = 2 P[\alpha | B^C]$[/tex]   .......(1)

Again,

[tex]$P[\text{Studying at the library } | \text{ Being a business major}] = \frac{1}{2} = 0.50$[/tex]

[tex]$P(\alpha | B) = 0.50$[/tex]

From (1), we get

[tex]$P(\alpha | B^C) = \frac{1}{2} . P(\alpha | B)$[/tex]

              [tex]$=\frac{1}{2} \times 0.50$[/tex]

              = 0.25

Therefore, we need,

= P[  The students is a Business major | The student studies at the library ]

[tex]$=P(B | \alpha)$[/tex]

By Bayes theorem

[tex]$=\frac{P(B). P(\alpha | B)}{P(B).P(\alpha | B) + P(B^C). P(\alpha | B^C)}$[/tex]

[tex]$=\frac{0.45 \times 0.50}{0.45 \times 0.50 + 0.55 \times 0.25}$[/tex]

= 0.6207

I really need help!!!​

Answers

Answer:

the third option (a=1, h=0, k=6)

Step-by-step explanation:

if I understand correctly what your teacher wants from you, then you need find a (the factor of x² in the equation) and the vertex (turnaround point) of the parabola represented by such a quadratic equation.

the vertex point coordinates are called (h, k).

the general form of such an equation equation is

y = ax² + bx + c

so, we have a right away : a=1

now we can make this quickly by using common sense, or a bit more complex by going through mathematical formulas.

the fast, practical way is to know that y=x² is the very basic parabola with its vertex at (0, 0).

y = x² + 6 is simply the same parabola just lifted up (y direction) by 6 units, that makes the vertex (0, 6).

in pure theory, though, we need to find the transformation from the general y = ax² + bx + c form to

y = a(x - h)² + k

we see right away that k = f(h) = h² + 6

y = a(x² - 2xh + h²) + k

a=1

y = x² - 2xh + h² + k = x² - 2xh + h² + h² + 6 =

= x² - 2xh + 2h² + 6

comparing with y = x² + 6

we know that

-2×h = 0

as we have no term with just x.

=> h = 0

2h² + 6 = k

2×0² + 6 = 6 = k

A canoeist paddled down a river a distance of 2 miles in 45 minutes. Paddling up-stream on his return, it took him 90 minutes. Find the rate of the canoe in still water.

Answers

Speed of canoe in still water we will denote it CS and water itself has a speed we denote it WS. Downstream will be (CS + WS)*45 = 2, Upstream will be (CS - WS)*90 = 2. Solve the system you will find canoe speed in still water and the water speed as well. 90CS = 90WS +2, CS = WS+ 1/45 put it in the first function 90WS +1 = 2, WS = 1/90 miles per minute, CS =1/30 miles per minute.

Insurance companies are interested in knowing the population percent of drivers who always buckle up before riding in a car. They randomly survey 401 drivers and find that 294 claim to always buckle up. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion that claim to always buckle up. Use interval notation, for example, [1,5].

Answers

Answer:

[0.6969, 0.7695]

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

They randomly survey 401 drivers and find that 294 claim to always buckle up.

This means that [tex]n = 401, \pi = \frac{294}{401} = 0.7332.

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.7332 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.7332*0.2668}{401}} = 0.6969[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.7332 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.7332*0.2668}{401}} = 0.7695[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion that claim to always buckle up is [0.6969, 0.7695]

Find the number c that satisfies the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
f(x)= sqrt of x [0,9]
c =

Answers

Answer:

9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is continuous and differentiable on (0,9).

We want to find c using the following equation.

f'(c)=(f(9)-f(0))/(9-0)

This will require us to find f'(x) first.

f(x)=sqrt(x) is the same as   f(x)=(x)^(1/2)

Using power rule to differentiate this gives f'(x)=(1/2)(x)^(1/2-1) or simplified f'(x)=(1/2)x^(-1/2) or f'(x)=1/(2x^(1/2)).

So we want to solve:

(1/2)c^(-1/2)=(f(9)-f(0))/(9-0)

Simplify denominator on right:

(1/2)c^(-1/2)=(f(9)-f(0))/9

This will require us to find f(9) and f(0).

If f(x)=sqrt(x), then f(9)=sqrt(9)=3 and f(0)=sqrt(0)=0.

So we have the following equation so far:

(1/2)c^(-1/2)=(3-0)/9

Simplify numerator on right:

(1/2)c^(-1/2)=3/9

Multiply both sides by 2:

c^(-1/2)=6/9

Raise both sides to the -2 power:

c^(1)=(6/9)^(-2)

Note c^1=c:

c=(6/9)^(-2):

Note negative exponent means to find reciprocal of base to change exponent to opposite

c=(9/6)^2

Apply the second power:

c=81/36

Reduce by dividing top and bottom by 9:

c=9/4

This means the slope of the tangent to the curve f at x=9/4 is the same value as the slope of the secant line going through points (0,0) and (9,3).

Also 9/4 is between 0 and 9... According to the theorem we were suppose to get a value c between x=0 and x=9.

Confirmation:

Slope of the secant line is (3-0)/(9-0)=3/9=1/3.

Slope of the tangent line to curve f at x=9/4.

f'(x)=(1/2)x^(-1/2)

f'(9/4)=(1/2)(9/4)^(-1/2)

f'(9/4)=(1/2)(3/2)^(-1)

f'(9/4)=(1/2)(2/3)

f'(9/4)=1/3

They are indeed equal values (talking about the 1/3 from the secant and the tangent.)

How much wrapping is needed to cover a cubed gift box that is 9 inches high? (Include the bow which takes 115 sq. inches.)

Answers

Answer:

601 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the amount of wrapping needed to cover the cube shaped gift box, including the bow

Area of bow = 115 in²

Surface area of cube shaped box = 6a²

a = side length of cube = 9

Hence,

Surface area of gift box = 6 * 9²

Surface area = 6 * 81 = 486 in²

Total wrapping required = area of gift box + area of bow = (486 in² + 115 in²) = 601 in²

Armando planted a 9-inch tall magical beanstalk. The height of the beanstalk increases by 13% each day. Write a function f that determines the height of the beanstalk in inches in terms of the number of days t since Armando planted the beanstalk.

Answers

Answer:

F(t) = 9(1 + 0.13)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Height of beanstalk = initial height = 9 inches

Percentage increase in height per day = 13%

This plant exhibits an exponential increase in growth per day, hence, the function will be modeled using an exponential function.

Using an exponential function :

F(t) = initial height(1 + percentage increase)^t

Where, t = number of days since tree was planted.

The function is :

F(t) = 9(1 + 0.13)^t

3*10=30 gallons after 10 hours

minus 1 gal/hr for 5 hours=25 gallons.

If the animals are still drinking, the pool is effectively filling at 1 gal/hr, 2-1, and it will take 35 more hours to fill.
