If 2x - 5y – 7 = 0 is perpendicular to the line ax - y - 3 = 0 what is the value of a ?

A) a =2/3

B) a =5/2

C) a = -2/3

D) a = -5/2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D) a = - 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x -5y - 7 = 0

5y = 2x - 7

y = 2/5 x - 7

the slope of this line is therefore 2/5 (factor of x).

the perpendicular slope is then (exchange y and x and flip the sign) -5/2, which is then a and the factor of x.

n a history class there are 88 history majors and 88 non-history majors. 44 students are randomly selected to present a topic. What is the probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors

Answers

Answer:

0.5675 = 56.75% probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors.

Step-by-step explanation:

The students are chosen without replacement from the sample, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question. We are working also with a sample with more than 10 history majors and 10 non-history majors, which mean that the normal approximation can be used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Approximation:

We have to use the mean and the standard deviation of the hypergeometric distribution, that is:

[tex]\mu = \frac{nk}{N}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{nk(N-k)(N-n)}{N^2(N-1)}}[/tex]

In this question:

88 + 88 = 176 students, which means that [tex]N = 176[/tex]

88 non-history majors, which means that [tex]k = 88[/tex]

44 students are selected, which means that [tex]n = 44[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = \frac{44*88}{176} = 22[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{44*88*(176-88)*(176-44)}{176^2(175-1)}} = 2.88[/tex]

What is the probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors?

Using continuity correction, as the hypergeometric distribution is discrete and the normal is continuous, this is [tex]P(X \geq 22 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 21.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 21.5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{21.5 - 22}{2.88}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.17[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.17[/tex] has a p-value of 0.4325

1 - 0.4325 = 0.5675

0.5675 = 56.75% probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors.

A pond contains 33 fish. Two are caught, tagged, and released back into the pond. After the tagged fish have had a chance to mingle with the others, eight fish are caught and released, one at a time. Assume that every fish in the pond is equally likely to be caught each time, regardless of which fish have been caught (and released) previously (this is not a realistic assumption for real fish in a real pond). The chance that among the fish caught in the second stage (after the tagging), at least four and at most eight were previously tagged is__________.

Answers

Answer:

0.2424

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of fish = 33

Total number of tagged fish = 2

Each fish has equal probability of being caught (remember that the focus is on the second stage of fish selection) and that probability is 1/33 = 0.0303

- When the question says at least 4 and at most 8 are tagged fish, it means that 4/8 or 1/2 or half of the fish selected were tagged fish. This gives us the figure to use in computation.

- So first of all, the probability that a fish caught is a tagged fish is (1/33) x 2

which is = 0.0303 x 2  =  0.0606

Now if 8 fish were caught and we want to know the probability that at least half of the eight fish (which is 4 fish) were tagged fish, what do we do?

- Multiply the probability of picking a tagged fish by 4; since each fish is replaced before the next selection.

0.0606 x 4  =  0.2424

Find the length of BC

Answers

Since this is a right triangle, we can use one of the three main trigonometric functions: sine, cosine or tangent.

Remember: SOH-CAH-TOA

Looking from the given angle, we want to find the opposite side and we know the hypotenuse. Therefore, we should use sine.

sin(51) = BC / 58

BC = 58 x sin(51)

BC = 45.1 units

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

From the above given figure;

Angle CAB = 51°

AB = 58

Taking Angle CAB as reference angle we get;

Perpendicular (p) = BC= ?

Hypotenuse (h) = 58

Now;

Taking the ratio of sin we get;

[tex] \sin( \alpha ) = \frac{p}{h} [/tex]

[tex] \sin(51) = \frac{bc}{58} [/tex]

Simplify it;

0.7771459*58 = BC

Therefore, BC = 45.0744.

A population of deer in Florida grows according to a logistic model, with r = 0.17 and K = 10,000. At what population size is the per capita population growth rate the highest? Group of answer choices N = 1000 N = 5000 N = 8000 N = 10000

Answers

Answer:

N = 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

The population growth of species per capita of any geographical can be computed by using the formula:

[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}=rN (1 - \dfrac{N}{K})[/tex]

here;

N = population chance

T = time taken

K = carrying capacity

r = the constant exponential growth rate

From the given equation, we can posit that the value of r will be the greatest at the time the value of dN is highest:

As such, when the population chance = 1000

[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}=0.17 * 1000 (1 - \dfrac{1000}{10000})[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}=0.17 * 1000 (0.9)[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}= 153[/tex]

At N = 5000;

[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}= 85[/tex]

At N= 8000;

[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}= 34[/tex]

At N = 10000

[tex]\dfrac{dN}{dT}= 0[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Pencils = 325 ; Pens = 975 ; Markers = 650

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Number of Pencils = x

Number of pens = y

Number of markers = z

2 times as many markers as pencils

z = 2x

3 times as many pens as pencils

y = 3x

x + y + z = 1950

Write z and y in terms of x in the equation :

x + 3x + 2x = 1950

6x = 1950

Divide both sides by 6

6x / 6 = 1950 / 6

x = 325

Number of pencils = 325

Pens = 3 * 325 = 975

Markers = 2 * 325 = 650

Pencils = 325 ; Pens = 975 ; Markers = 650

1 x + 1 y = 21 .............1

Total words

1200 x + 1500 y = 27000 .............2

Eliminate y

multiply (1)by -1500

Multiply (2) by 1

-1500 x -1500 y = -31500

1200 x + 1500 y = 27000

Add the two equations

-300 x = -4500

/ -300

x = 15

plug value of x in (1)

1 x + 1 y = 21

15 + y = 21

y = 21 -15

y = 6

y = 6

x= 15 Number of small pages

The width of a rectangle is 9 less than twice its length. If the area of the rectangle is 129cm^2. What is the length of the diagonal? Give your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:  16.14  cm

==========================================================

Explanation:

L = x = length of the rectangleW = 2x-9 = width of the rectangle, since its 9 less than twice the length

area of rectangle = L*W = 129

L*W = 129

x*(2x-9) = 129

2x^2-9x = 129

2x^2-9x-129 = 0

Apply the quadratic formula. We'll use a = 2, b = -9, c = -129.

[tex]x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(-9)\pm\sqrt{(-9)^2-4(2)(-129)}}{2(2)}\\\\x = \frac{9\pm\sqrt{1113}}{4}\\\\x \approx \frac{9\pm33.36165464}{4}\\\\x \approx \frac{9+33.36165464}{4}\ \text{ or } \ x \approx \frac{9-33.36165464}{4}\\\\x \approx \frac{42.36165464}{4}\ \text{ or } \ x \approx \frac{-24.36165462}{4}\\\\x \approx 10.59041366\ \text{ or } \ x \approx -6.09041364\\\\[/tex]

We ignore the negative solution because a negative length makes no sense.

The length is approximately L = 10.5904 cm.

The width is 2L-9 = 2*10.5904-9 = 12.1808 cm approximately.

As a quick check,

L*W = 10.5904*12.1808 = 128.99954432

which isn't too far off from 129. We have rounding error which is why we don't perfectly land on the target area value. If you wanted to get closer to the value 129, then use more decimal digits in the approximations of L and W.

----------------------------

If you draw a diagonal in the rectangle, then you form two identical or congruent right triangles.

Focusing on one of those triangles, we have

a = 10.5904b = 12.1808c = unknown hypotenuse = diagonal length

Apply the pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

c = sqrt( a^2 + b^2 )

c = sqrt( (10.5904)^2 + (12.1808)^2 )

c = 16.1408940520653

c = 16.14

The diagonal is roughly 16.14 cm long.

s1² = 0.37889.

New machine: 8.0, 8.1, 8.0, 8.1, 7.9, 8.0, 7.9, 8.0, 8.1

Sample size, n = 9

s2² = 0.006111

H0 : s1² = s2²

H1 : s1² > s2²

New machine :

s2² = 0.006111 ; n = 9

Using the Ftest :

Ftest statistic = larger sample variance / smaller sample variance

Ftest statistic = 0.37889 / 0.006111

Ftest statistic = 62.0

Decision region :

Reject H0 ; If Test statistic > Critical value

The FCritical value at 0.05

DFnumerator = 10 - 1 = 9

DFdenominator = 9 - 1 = 8

Fcritical(0.05, 9, 8) = 3.388
