Answer:

x = 5, y = 8, z = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent so to find x:

x + 7 = 3x - 3

-2x = -10

x = 5

To find y:

y + 2 = 2y - 6

-y = -8

y = 8

Therefore, z = x - y = 5 - 8 = -3.

What do the symbols of mirrors and glass represent in this

luda_lava [24]

Question:

Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 1, scene 2.

CASSIUS: ‘Tis just; And it is very much lamented, Brutus, That you have no such mirrors as will turn Your hidden worthiness into your eye, That you might see your shadow. I have heard 5 Where many of the best respect in Rome– Except immortal Caesar‐speaking of Brutus, And groaning underneath this age’s yoke, Have wished that noble Brutus had his eyes.

BRUTUS: Into what dangers would you lead me, Cassius, 10 That you would have me seek into myself For that which is not in me?

CASSIUS: Therefore, good Brutus, be prepared to hear. And since you know you cannot see yourself So well as by reflection, I, your glass, 15 Will modestly discover to yourself That of yourself which you yet know not of.

Answer:

The correct choice is D)

Explanation:

Cassius speaks of Brutus as one who is unable to see or know his own value and presumes to help him therewith. He does this by pointing out that many of the well respected people in Rome wish that he were in Caesars shoes as King.

Cheers!

mr Goodwill [35]

<span>As restaurant owner The probability of hiring Jun is 0.7 => p(J) The probability of hiring Deron is 0.4 => p(D) The probability of hiring at least one of you is 0.9 => p(J or D) We have a probability equation: p(J or D) = p(J) + p(D) - p(J and D) => 0.9 = 0.7 + 0.4 - p(J and D) p(J and D) = 1.1 - 0.9 = 0.2 So the probability that both Jun and Deron get hired is 0.2.</span>

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

a) 0.2741 = 27.41% probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring

b) 0.7611 = 76.11% probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$p = 0.71$

(a) For a sample of 16 Americans, what is the probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring?

Here $n = 16$ , we want $P(X \geq 13)$ . So

$P(X \geq 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 13) = C_{16,13}.(0.71)^{13}.(0.29)^{3} = 0.1591$

$P(X = 14) = C_{16,14}.(0.71)^{14}.(0.29)^{2} = 0.0835$

$P(X = 15) = C_{16,15}.(0.71)^{15}.(0.29)^{1} = 0.0273$

$P(X = 16) = C_{16,16}.(0.71)^{16}.(0.29)^{0} = 0.0042$

$P(X \geq 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) = 0.1591 + 0.0835 + 0.0273 + 0.0042 = 0.2741$

0.2741 = 27.41% probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring

(b) For a sample of 160 Americans, what is the probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring?

Now $n = 160$ . So

$\mu = E(X) = np = 160*0.71 = 113.6$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{160*0.71*0.29} = 5.74$

Using continuity correction, this is $P(X \geq 110 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 109.5)$ , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 109.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{109.5 - 113.6}{5.74}$

$Z = -0.71$

$Z = -0.71$ has a pvalue of 0.2389

1 - 0.2389 = 0.7611

0.7611 = 76.11% probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring

Q1: Identify the graph of the equation and write an equation of the translated or rotated graph in general form.

marin [14]

Answer:

C. hyperbola; $9x^2-25y^2-250y-850=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given conic has equation:

$9x^2-25y^2=225$

Divide through by 225.

$\frac{9x^2}{225}-\frac{25y^2}{225}=\frac{225}{225}$

$\frac{x^2}{25}-\frac{y^2}{9}=1$

This is a hyperbola centered at the origin.

The hyperbola has been translated from the origin to (0,5).

The translated hyperbola will have equation;

$\frac{(x-0)^2}{25}-\frac{(y-5)^2}{9}=1$

Multiply through by 225.

$9(x-0)^2-25(y-5)^2=225$

Expand

$9x^2-25(y^2-10y+25)=225$

$9x^2-25y^2+250y-625=225$

Rewrite in general form;

$9x^2-25y^2+250y-625-225=0$

$9x^2-25y^2+250y-850=0$
