According to New Jersey Transit, the 8:00 a.M. Weekday train from Princeton to New York City has a 90% chance of arriving on tim

e on a randomly selected day. Suppose this claim is true. Choose 6 days at random. Let X = the number of days on which the train arrives on time. 1. Explain why this is a binomial setting.

Digit numbers.

Let the numbers 00 to 89 represent that the train is on time.

Let the numbers between 90 and 99 represent that the train is late.

Randomly select 6 numbers, with repetition allowed.

Count the number of times the train is late.

Repeat this simulation multiple times.

You will most likely obtain a result of between 0 and 2 times that the train is late.

a ball is thrown with a slingshot at a velocity of 110ft/sec at an angle of 20 degrees above the ground from a height of 4.5 ft.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

$t=2.47\ s$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that models the height of the ball in feet as a function of time is

$h(t) = h_0 + s_0t -16t ^ 2$

Where $h_0$ is the initial height, $s_0$ is the initial velocity and t is the time in seconds.

We know that the initial height is:

$h_0 = 4.5\ ft$

The initial speed is:

$s_0 = 110sin(20\°)\\\\s_0 = 37.62\ ft/s$

So the equation is:

$h (t) = 4.5 + 37.62t -16t ^ 2$

The ball hits the ground when when $h(t) = 0$

So

$4.5 + 37.62t -16t ^ 2 = 0$

We use the quadratic formula to solve the equation for t

For a quadratic equation of the form

$at^2 +bt + c$

The quadratic formula is:

$t=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}$

In this case

$a= -16\\\\b=37.62\\\\c=4.5$

Therefore

$t=\frac{-37.62\±\sqrt{(37.62)^2 -4(-16)(4.5)}}{2(-16)}$

$t_1=-0.114\ s\\\\t_2=2.47\ s$

We take the positive solution.

Finally the ball takes 2.47 seconds to touch the ground

Is AB parallel to Bo? Explain.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

AB parallel to CD because both lines have a slope of

of 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete, there is no graph.

A graph for the question is attached below.

From the image attached below, line 1 passes through points A = (-3, -3) and point B = (0, 1) while line 2 passes through point C = (0, -5) and point D = (3, -1).

Two parallel are said to be parallel if the have the same slope. The slope of a line passing through points:

$(x_1,y_1)\ asnd\ (x_2,y_2).\ The\ slope \ is\ given\ as:\\\\Slope(m)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Line 1 passes through points A = (-3, -3) and point B = (0, 1), the slope of line 1 is:

$Slope(m)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{1-(-3)}{0-(-3)}=\frac{1+3}{0+3}=\frac{4}{3}$

Line 2 passes through point C = (0, -5) and point D = (3, -1). the slope of line 2 is:

$Slope(m)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{-1-(-5)}{3-0}=\frac{-1+5}{3}=\frac{4}{3}$

Therefore AB parallel to CD because both lines have a slope of

of 4/3

Match the following items.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

$1. m\angle ECB=50\\2. m\textrm{ arc BC}=100\\3. m\textrm{ arc CD}=80\\4. m\angle DCF=40$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\angle DBC=40$ °

From the triangle, using the theorem that center angle by an arc is twice the angle it subtend at the circumference.

$m\textrm{ arc CD}=2\times \angle DBC\\m\textrm{ arc CD}=2\times 40=80$

Also, the diameter of the circle is BD. As per the theorem that says that angle subtended by the diameter at the circumference is always 90°,

$m\angle BCD=90$

From the Δ BCD, which is a right angled triangle,

$m\angle DBC+m\angle BDC=90\textrm{ (right angled triangle)}\\40+m\angle BDC=90\\m\angle BDC=90-40=50$

Now, using the theorem that angle between the tangent and a chord is equal to the angle subtended by the same chord at the circumference.

Here, chords CD and BC subtend angles 40 and 50 at the circumference as shown in the diagram by angles $m\angle DBC\textrm{ and }m\angle BDC$ and EF is a tangent to the circle at point C.

Therefore, $m\angle DCF=m\angle DBC=40\\m\angle ECB=m\angle BDC=50$

Again, using the same theorem as above,

$m\angle DCF=50\\\therefore m\textrm{ arc BC}=2\times m\angle DCF=2\times 50=100$

Hence, all the angles are as follows:

$1. m\angle ECB=50\\2. m\textrm{ arc BC}=100\\3. m\textrm{ arc CD}=80\\4. m\angle DCF=40$
