Answer:

45 segundos.

Step-by-step explanation:

Un tren pasa por delante de un puente en 15 segundos; si el puente tuviera el doble de longitud, le tomaría el doble de tiempo en cruzarlo, si tuviera el triple de longitud, le tomaría el triple de tiempo y así sucesivamente.

En este caso, la pregunta es ¿En cuánto tiempo cruzaría el puente si tuviera el triple de su longitud? Por lo tanto, si cruza el puente en 15 segundos, teniendo el triple de longitud le tomaría 3 (15) = 45 segundos en cruzarlo.

In two or more complete sentences, compare the number of x-intercepts in the graph of f(x) =x2 to the number of x-intercepts in

Important:  Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation:

<span>"f(x) =x^2 to the number of x-intercepts in the graph of g(x) = x^2 +2."

Notes:  the graph of f(x) = x^2 is a vertical parabola that opens up.  It has its vertex at (0,0).  This is the only point at which f(x)=x^2 has a horiz. intercept.

g(x) = x^2 + 2 has a graph that looks the same as that of f(x) = x^2, EXCEPT that the whole graph is moved 2 units UP.  This new graph never touches or intersects the x-axis.  Therefore, g(x) has NO horiz. intercepts (no x-int.).

Suppose that 4% of the 2 million high school students who take the SAT each year receive special accommodations because of docum
dangina [55]

Answer:

a. 0.0122

b. 0.294

c. 0.2818

d. 30.671%

e. 2.01 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let X represents the number of students that receive special accommodation

P(X) = 4%

P(X) = 0.04

Let S = Sample Size = 30

Let Y be a selected numbers of Sample Size

Y ≈ Bin (30,0.04)

a. The probability that 1 candidate received special accommodation

P(Y = 1) = (30,1)

= (0.04)¹ * (1 - 0.04)^(30 - 1)

= 0.04 * 0.96^29

= 0.012244068467946074580191760542164986632531806368667873050624

P(Y=1) = 0.0122 --- Approximated

b. The probability that at least 1 received a special accommodation is given by:

This means P(Y≥1)

But P(Y=0) + P(Y≥1) = 1

P(Y≥1) = 1 - P(Y=0)

Calculating P(Y=0)

P(Y=0) = (0.04)° * (1 - 0.04)^(30 - 0)

= 1 * 0.96^36

= 0.293857643230705789924602253011959679180763352848028953214976

= 0.294 --- Approximated

c.

The probability that at least 2 received a special accommodation is given by:

P (Y≥2) = 1 -P(Y=0) - P(Y=1)

= 0.294 - 0.0122

= 0.2818

d. The probability that the number among the 15 who received a special accommodation is within 2 standard deviations of the number you would expect to be accommodated?

First, we calculate the standard deviation

SD = √npq

n = 15

p = 0.04

q = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96

SD = √(15 * 0.04 * 0.96)

SD = 0.758946638440411

SD = 0.759

Mean =np = 15 * 0.04 = 0.6

The interval that is two standard deviations away from .6 is [0, 2.55] which means that we want the probability that either 0, 1 , or 2 students among the 20 students received a special accommodation.

P(Y≤2)

P(0) + P(1) + P(2)

=.

P(0) + P(1) = 0.0122 + 0.294

Calculating P(2)

P(2) = (0.04)² * (1 - 0.04)^(30 - 2(

P(2) = 0.00051

So,

P(0) +P(1) + P(2). = 0.0122 + 0.294 + 0.00051

= 0.30671

Thus it 30.671% probable that 0, 1, or 2 students received accommodation.

e.

The expected value from d) is .6

The average time is [.6(4.5) + 19.2(3)]/30 = 2.01 hours

Mathew rolls a number cube labeled with the numbers 1−6. He then flips a fair coin. What is the probability that he rolls a 4 an
kap26 [50]

Answer: 0.083


Step-by-step explanation:

Numbers on cube=6

faces on coin=2

Therefore, the total outcomes=6\times2=12

Now, the favorable outcome that he rolls a 4 and flips a head=1

The probability that he rolls a 4 and flips a head=\frac{\text{favorable outcome}}{\text{total outcome}}

⇒The probability that he rolls a 4 and flips a head=\frac{1}{12}=0.083333\approx0.83.

Therefore, The probability that he rolls a 4 and flips a head=0.083

Which statements can be represented by this equation? Select three options.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Options A,C and E.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

2n-9.2=n+\dfrac{4}{5}

Let n be the unknown number, then

Twice a number minus nine and two-tenths is the same as the number plus four-fifths.

2n-9.2=n+\dfrac{4}{5}

So, option A is correct.

Nine point two decreased by double a number is the same as the number added to four-fifths.

9.2-2n=n+\dfrac{4}{5}

Nine point two less than twice a number is equal to the number added to four-fifths.

2n-9.2=n+\dfrac{4}{5}

So, option C is correct.

Two times the difference of a number and nine and two-tenths is equal to the number plus four-fifths.

2(n-9.2)=n+\dfrac{4}{5}

Double a number decreased by nine and two-tenths is the same as the sum of four-fifths and the number.

2n-9.2=n+\dfrac{4}{5}

So, option E is correct.

Therefore, the correct options are A,C and E.
