Answer:

7a²/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle PTS

½ × a × a

a²/2

Length of PS:

sqrt(a² + a²)

asqrt(2)

Length of MS:

¼asqrt(2)

Triangles MCS and TPS are similar

With sides in the ratio:

¼asqrt(2) : a

sqrt(2)/4 : 1

Area of triangle SMC:

A/(a²/2) = [(sqrt(2)/4)]²

2A/a² = 1/8

A = a²/16

Area of PTMC

= a²/2 - a²/16

= 7a²/16

This is a much more interesting problem than what we usually see here.

Let's just start by assuming a=1 so we have two unit squares.

PMC and PTC are two congruent triangles, each right triangles with one leg of length 1 and a shared hypotenuse PC.

We'll put it on the grid at P(0,0), T(1,0).

Angle TPM is 45 degrees and PM=1 so

M(cos 45, sin 45) = M(1/√2, 1/√2)

MK has slope -1, thru M, so is

y = -x + √2

C's on that line at x=1, so C's x coordinate is 1, so its y coordinate is √2 - 1

C(1, √2 - 1)

OK, that's enough to compute the area.

P(0,0), T(1,0), C(1, √2 - 1), M(1/√2, 1/√2)

area(PMCT) = area(PTC) + area(PCM)= 2 area(PTC)

The area of a right triangle is half the product of its legs.

area(PMCT) = 2 (1/2) (1) ( √2 - 1)

area(PMCT) = √2 - 1

When we have sides a, the area scales by a²,

Answer: a²(√2 - 1)

Answer:

$m\angle STR=24^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$m\angle STQ=m\angle STR+m\angle RTQ$ ---> by addition angle postulate

we have

$m\angle STQ=48^o$ ----> given problem

$m\angle STR=m\angle RTQ$ ----> given problem

substitute in the expression above

$48^o=2m\angle STR$

Divide by 2 both sides

$m\angle STR=24^o$

Compare A and B if 70% of A is equal to $0.7a and 35% of B is equal to $0.35a

MrRa [10]

Answer:

A=B

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1: 70% of A = 0.7a

Equation 2: 35% of B = 0.35a

Equation 3 = (Equation 2) • 2

Equation 3: 70% of B = 0.7a

Equation 3 = Equation 1

A = B

Suppose that the number of drivers who travel between a particular origin and destination during a designated time period has a

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

a) P(k≤11) = 0.021

b) P(k>23) = 0.213

c) P(11≤k≤23) = 0.777

P(11<k<23) = 0.699

d) P(15<k<25)=0.687

Step-by-step explanation:

a) What is the probability that the number of drivers will be at most 11?

We have to calculate P(k≤11)

$P(k\leq11)=\sum_0^{11} P(k$

$P(k=0) = 20^0e^{-20}/0!=1 \cdot 0.00000000206/1=0\\\\P(k=1) = 20^1e^{-20}/1!=20 \cdot 0.00000000206/1=0\\\\P(k=2) = 20^2e^{-20}/2!=400 \cdot 0.00000000206/2=0\\\\P(k=3) = 20^3e^{-20}/3!=8000 \cdot 0.00000000206/6=0\\\\P(k=4) = 20^4e^{-20}/4!=160000 \cdot 0.00000000206/24=0\\\\P(k=5) = 20^5e^{-20}/5!=3200000 \cdot 0.00000000206/120=0\\\\P(k=6) = 20^6e^{-20}/6!=64000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/720=0\\\\P(k=7) = 20^7e^{-20}/7!=1280000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/5040=0.001\\\\$

$P(k=8) = 20^8e^{-20}/8!=25600000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/40320=0.001\\\\P(k=9) = 20^9e^{-20}/9!=512000000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/362880=0.003\\\\P(k=10) = 20^{10}e^{-20}/10!=10240000000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/3628800=0.006\\\\P(k=11) = 20^{11}e^{-20}/11!=204800000000000 \cdot 0.00000000206/39916800=0.011\\\\$

$P(k\leq11)=\sum_0^{11} P(k$

b) What is the probability that the number of drivers will exceed 23?

We can write this as:

$P(k>23)=1-\sum_0^{23} P(k=x_i)=1-(P(k\leq11)+\sum_{12}^{23} P(k=x_i))$

$P(k=12) = 20^{12}e^{-20}/12!=8442485.238/479001600=0.018\\\\P(k=13) = 20^{13}e^{-20}/13!=168849704.75/6227020800=0.027\\\\P(k=14) = 20^{14}e^{-20}/14!=3376994095.003/87178291200=0.039\\\\P(k=15) = 20^{15}e^{-20}/15!=67539881900.067/1307674368000=0.052\\\\P(k=16) = 20^{16}e^{-20}/16!=1350797638001.33/20922789888000=0.065\\\\P(k=17) = 20^{17}e^{-20}/17!=27015952760026.7/355687428096000=0.076\\\\P(k=18) = 20^{18}e^{-20}/18!=540319055200533/6402373705728000=0.084\\\\$

$P(k=19) = 20^{19}e^{-20}/19!=10806381104010700/121645100408832000=0.089\\\\P(k=20) = 20^{20}e^{-20}/20!=216127622080213000/2432902008176640000=0.089\\\\P(k=21) = 20^{21}e^{-20}/21!=4322552441604270000/51090942171709400000=0.085\\\\P(k=22) = 20^{22}e^{-20}/22!=86451048832085300000/1.12400072777761E+21=0.077\\\\P(k=23) = 20^{23}e^{-20}/23!=1.72902097664171E+21/2.5852016738885E+22=0.067\\\\$

$P(k>23)=1-\sum_0^{23} P(k=x_i)=1-(P(k\leq11)+\sum_{12}^{23} P(k=x_i))\\\\P(k>23)=1-(0.021+0.766)=1-0.787=0.213$

c) What is the probability that the number of drivers will be between 11 and 23, inclusive? What is the probability that the number of drivers will be strictly between 11 and 23?

Between 11 and 23 inclusive:

$P(11\leq k\leq23)=P(x\leq23)-P(k\leq11)+P(k=11)\\\\P(11\leq k\leq23)=0.787-0.021+ 0.011=0.777$

Between 11 and 23 exclusive:

$P(11< k$

d) What is the probability that the number of drivers will be within 2 standard deviations of the mean value?

The standard deviation is

$\mu=\lambda =20\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{\lambda}=\sqrt{20}= 4.47$

Then, we have to calculate the probability of between 15 and 25 drivers approximately.

$P(15$

$P(k=16) = 20^{16}e^{-20}/16!=0.065\\\\P(k=17) = 20^{17}e^{-20}/17!=0.076\\\\P(k=18) = 20^{18}e^{-20}/18!=0.084\\\\P(k=19) = 20^{19}e^{-20}/19!=0.089\\\\P(k=20) = 20^{20}e^{-20}/20!=0.089\\\\P(k=21) = 20^{21}e^{-20}/21!=0.085\\\\P(k=22) = 20^{22}e^{-20}/22!=0.077\\\\P(k=23) = 20^{23}e^{-20}/23!=0.067\\\\P(k=24) = 20^{24}e^{-20}/24!=0.056\\\\$
