Answer:

The correct option is E) About 1 in a million.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that one in a hundred million people is a genius.

Let G represents the Genius and Q represents the quirky.

We need to find the probability that someone is acting quirky- what is the probability that they are a genius.

The probability that person is quirky is: P(Q)=0.999\cdot0.00000001+0.01\cdot0.99999999

The probability of P(Q\cap G)=0.999\cdot0.00000001

Hence, the required probability is:

P(G|Q)=\frac{P(Q\cap G)}{P(Q)}

P(G|Q)=\frac{0.999\cdot0.00000001}{0.999\cdot0.00000001+0.01\cdot0.99999999}

P(G|Q)\approx 9.98999\times10^{-7}

Which is near about 1 in a million.

Hence, the correct option is E) About 1 in a million.

A rectangular two-story horse barn is being designed for a farm. The upper floor will be used for storing hay, and the lower flo
svet-max [94.6K]

Let the width of the barn be = x feet

So length of the barn = 2x

Height of the barn = x-8

As the stalls are 6 feet longer from both ends hence, we have to find the area with width as x-12 feet

Volume of the space is = 3840 cubic feet

Hence, equation is :

(x-12)(2x)(x-8)=3840

Solving this we get

2x^{3}-40x^{2}+192x=3840

2x^{3}-40x^{2}+192x-3840=0

2(x-20)(x^{2}+96)=0

This gives x=20 and x= ±4\sqrt{6}i

Hence, neglecting the square root value we get x = 20 feet

Hence, the width is = x-12 = 20 - 12 = 8 feet

Length is = 2x = 2*20 = 40 feet

Height is = x-8 = 20 - 8 =12 feet

And we can cross check this by multiplying all the three dimensions to get 3840 cubic feet

8\times40\times12=3840 cubic feet.

Suppose that the concentration of a bacteria sample is 100000 bacteria per milliliter. If the concentration doubles every 2 hour
Aliun [14]

Answer:

3.85 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the model equation in this case would be of the following type, being "and" the concentration of bacteria:

y = a * e ^ (b * t)

where a and b are constants and t is time.

We know that when the time is 0, we know that there are 100,000 bacteria, therefore:

100000 = a * e ^ (b * 0)

100000 = a * 1

a = 100000

they tell us that when the time is 2 hours, the amount doubles, that is:

200000 = a * e ^ (b * 2)

already knowing that a equals 100,000

e ^ (b * 2) = 2

b * 2 = ln 2

b = (ln 2) / 2

b = 0.3465

Having the value of the constants, we will calculate the value of the time when there are 380000, that is:

380000 = 100000 * (e ^ 0.3465 * t)

3.8 = e ^ 0.3465 * t

ln 3.8 = 0.3465 * t

t = 1.335 / 0.3465

t = 3.85

That is to say that in order to reach this concentration 3.85 hours must pass

Product A is an 8oz. Bottle of cough medicine that sells for $1.36. Product B is a 16oz. Bottle cough medicine that costs $3.20.
Pavlova-9 [17]
Product A= 8oz = 1.36 x 2= 2.72. 16oz = 2.72

product B=16oz= 3.20

so Product A has the lower unit price.

Define a function sinc(x) (pronounced "sink of x") by: text(sinc)(x)={(sin(x)/x text(if)\ x != 0, 1 text(if)\ x = 0.) (This func
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the Taylor series of sinc(x) we will use the taylor series of sin(x). We have that

\sin(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}

which is the taylor series expansion based at 0. Then for x\neq 0, by dividing both sidex by x, we have that

\text{sinc}(x) = \frac{\sin(x)}{x}= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n}}{(2n+1)!}

which is the taylor series expansion for the sinc function. Since the series of sine converges for every value of x. Then the taylor series of sinc converges for every value of x, but 0.
