At a carnival, a particular game requires the player to spin a wheel. When a child plays, the game operator allows them to conti

nue to spin the wheel until they win a prize. Define X = the number of spins a child takes until they win a prize.
Which, if any, of the following requirements for X to be a binomial random variable is violated in this setting?

a) The number of trials is fixed.
b) Each trial is independent of other trials.
c) There are two possible outcomes for each trial.
d) The probability of "success" is the same for each trial.
e) All requirements are met in this setting.

Answer:

(a) and (e) are not valid.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The number of traials is not fixed. In fact, the random variable counts the total number of trials.

b) This is true, the result of each trial is independent of the others.

c) This is also true. The outcomes are failure and success.

d) This is true as well, all trials are identically distributed.

e) Since (a) is not valid, this cant be true.

Performance task: A parade route must start And and at the intersections shown on the map. The city requires that the total dist
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Part A: The proposed route does not meet requirement because it is longer than the maximum required length of 3 miles

Part B: For the total distance is as close to 3 miles as possible, the start point of the parade should be at the point on Broadway with coordinates (9.941, 4.970)

Part C: The coordinates of the cameras stationed half way down each road are;

For central avenue; (4, 2)

For Broadway; (7.97, 2.49)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: The length of the given route can be found using the equation for the distance, l, between coordinate points as follows;

l = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1}  \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1}  \right )^{2}}

Where for the Broadway potion of the parade route, we have;

(x₁, y₁) = (12, 3)

(x₂, y₂) = (6, 0)

l_1 = \sqrt{\left (0 -3\right )^{2}+\left (6-12 \right )^{2}} = 3 \cdot \sqrt{5}

For the Central Avenue potion of the parade route, we have;

(x₁, y₁) = (6, 0)

(x₂, y₂) = (2, 4)

l_2 = \sqrt{\left (4 -0\right )^{2}+\left (2-6 \right )^{2}} = 4 \cdot \sqrt{2}

Therefore, the total length of the parade route =-3·√5 + 4·√2 = 12.265 unit

The scale of the drawing is 1 unit = 0.25 miles

Therefore;

The actual length of the initial parade =0.25×12.265 unit = 3.09 miles

The proposed route does not meet requirement because it is longer than the maximum required length of 3 miles

Part B:

For an actual length of 3 miles, the length on the scale drawing should be given as follows;

1 unit = 0.25 miles

0.25 miles = 1 unit

1 mile =  1 unit/(0.25) = 4 units

3 miles = 3 × 4 units = 12 units

With the same end point and route, we have;

l_1 = \sqrt{\left (0 -y\right )^{2}+\left (6-x \right )^{2}} = 12 - 4 \cdot \sqrt{2}

y² + (6 - x)² = 176 - 96·√2

y² = 176 - 96·√2 - (6 - x)²............(1)

Also, the gradient of l₁ = (3 - 0)/(12 - 6) = 1/2

Which gives;

y/x = 1/2

y = x/2 ..............................(2)

Equating equation (1) to (2) gives;

176 - 96·√2 - (6 - x)² = (x/2)²

176 - 96·√2 - (6 - x)² - (x/2)²= 0

176 - 96·√2 - (1.25·x²- 12·x+36) = 0

Solving using a graphing calculator, gives;

(x - 9.941)(x + 0.341) = 0

Therefore;

x ≈ 9.941 or x = -0.341

Since l₁ is required to be 12 - 4·√2, we have and positive, we have;

x ≈ 9.941 and y = x/2 ≈ 9.941/2 = 4.97

Therefore, the start point of the parade should be the point (9.941, 4.970) on Broadway so that the total distance is as close to 3 miles as possible

Part C: The coordinates of the cameras stationed half way down each road are;

For central avenue;

Camera location = ((6 + 2)/2, (4 + 0)/2) = (4, 2)

For Broadway;

Camera location = ((6 + 9.941)/2, (0 + 4.970)/2) = (7.97, 2.49).

For a certain type of copper wire, it is knownthat, on the average, 1.5 flaws occur per millimeter.Assuming that the number of f
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The probability that no flaws occur in a certain portion of wire of length 5 millimeters =  1.1156 occur / millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>:-

Given data A copper wire, it is known that, on the average, 1.5 flaws occur per millimeter.

by  Poisson random variable given that λ = 1.5 flaws/millimeter

Poisson distribution P(X= r) = \frac{e^{-\alpha } \alpha ^{r} }{r!}

<u>Step 2:</u>-

The probability that no flaws occur in a certain portion of wire

P(X= 0) = \frac{e^{-1.5 } \(1.5) ^{0} }{0!}

On simplification we get

P(x=0) = 0.223 flaws occur / millimeters

<u>Conclusion</u>:-

The probability that no flaws occur in a certain portion of wire of length 5 millimeters = 5 X P(X=0) = 5X 0.223 = 1.1156 occur / millimeters

A bicycle wheel has an inside radius of 12 inches. Which expression could be used to find the inside circumference of this wheel
il63 [147K]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that,

The inner radius of a bicycle wheel is 12 inches.

It is required to find the expression to find the inside circumference of this wheel.

The outer surface of the wheel is equal to its circumference. It is given by :

C=2\pi r

r is radius of wheel

C=2\times 3.14\times 12\\\\C=75.36\ \text{inches}

This is the required explanation.
