Five light bulbs that are either on or off are lined up in a row. A certain code uses different combinations of lights turned on

to represent
different words. If exactly 2 lights must be turned on to represent a word, how many different words can be formed using the 5 light
bulbs? (1 point)

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of different ways that 2 lights can be chosen from 5 is ₅C₂.  Use a calculator or find the value manually:

₅C₂ = 5! / (2! (5−2)!)

₅C₂ = 5! / (2! 3!)

₅C₂ = 5×4×3×2×1 / (2×1 × 3×2×1)

₅C₂ = 5×4 / 2

₅C₂ = 10

Traffic speed: The mean speed for a sample of cars at a certain intersection was kilometers per hour with a standard deviation o
aliina [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

X₁: speed of a motorcycle at a certain intersection.

n₁= 135

X[bar]₁= 33.99 km/h

S₁= 4.02 km/h

X₂: speed of a car at a certain intersection.

n₂= 42 cars

X[bar]₂= 26.56 km/h

S₂= 2.45 km/h

Assuming

X₁~N(μ₁; σ₁²)

X₂~N(μ₂; σ₂²)

and σ₁² = σ₂²

<em>A 90% confidence interval for the difference between the mean speeds, in kilometers per hour, of motorcycles and cars at this intersection is ________.</em>

The parameter of interest is μ₁-μ₂

(X[bar]₁-X[bar]₂)±t_{n_1+n_2-2} * Sa\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2} }

t_{n_1+n_2-2;1-\alpha /2}= t_{175; 0.95}= 1.654

Sa= \sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)S_1^2+(n_2-1)S_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2} } = \sqrt{\frac{134*16.1604+41*6.0025}{135+42-2} } = 3.71

[(33.99-26.56) ± 1.654 *(3.71*\sqrt{\frac{1}{135} +\frac{1}{42} })]

[6.345; 8.514]= [6.35; 8.51]km/h

<em>Construct the 98% confidence interval for the difference μ₁-μ₂ when X[bar]₁= 475.12, S₁= 43.48, X[bar]₂= 321.34, S₂= 21.60, n₁= 12, n₂= 15</em>

t_{n_1+n_2-2;1-\alpha /2}= t_{25; 0.99}= 2.485

Sa= \sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)S_1^2+(n_2-1)S_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2} } = \sqrt{\frac{11*(43.48)^2+14*(21.60)^2}{12+15-2} } = 33.06

[(475.12-321.34) ± 2.485 *(33.06*\sqrt{\frac{1}{12} +\frac{1}{15} })]

[121.96; 185.60]

A student has to take two quizzes tomorrow. He has only enough time to study for one of them. The history quiz has 5 true or fal
nalin [4]

Answer:

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Miguel should study for the Science quiz as he will do worse in that quiz by guessing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Miguel has to take two quizzes

1) 4 true or false questions on History with a 0.5 chance of acing the quiz

Expected number of correct questions = np

n = number of questions

p = probability of acing the test

Expected number of correct questions = 4 × 0.5 = 2

2) 3 multiple choice questions on Science with a 0.2 chance of acing the quiz.

Expected number of correct questions = 0.2 × 3 = 0.6

It is evident that guessing would yield a worse result in the Science quiz with less than 1 question expected to be correct than history, where he is still expected to get 2 questions correctly by guessing.

An ant begins at the top of the pictured octahedron. If the ant takes two "steps", what is the probability it ends up at the bot
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

P_{bottom}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting from the top, the ant can only take four different directions, all of them going down, every direction has a probability of 1/4. For the second step, regardless of what direction the ant walked, it has 4 directions: going back (or up), to the sides (left or right) and down. If the probability of the first step is 1/4 for each direction and once the ant has moved one step, there are 4 directions with the same probability (1/4  again), the probability of taking a specific path is the multiplication of the probability of these two steps:

P_{2steps}=\frac{1}{4}*\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{16}

There are only 4 roads that can take the ant to the bottom in 2 steps, each road with a probability of 1/16, adding the probability of these 4 roads:

P_{bottom}=\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{16}=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}

The probability of the ant ending up at the bottom is \frac{1}{4} or 0.25.

Simplify 4a³b² × 3a⁶b⁵​
Rasek [7]

Answer:

12a^9b^7

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying variables of the same base, will require you to add the exponents.

4a^3b^2 * 3a^6b^5

         4*3 =  12

a^3 * a^6 =   a^9

b^2 * b^5 =   b^7

12a^9b^7
