Answer:

111

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the student to faculty ratio at a small college is 17:3.

Let number of students and faculty members are 17x and 3x respectively.

It is given that total number of students and faculty is 740.

17x+3x=740

20x=740

Divide both sides by 20.

x=37

Number of student =17\times 37=629

Number of faculty members =3\times 37=111

Therefore, there are 111 faculty members at the college.

Which is an x-intercept of the continuous function in the table?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

B. (3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept is the point where the graph of the function meets the x-axis.

At x-intercept, y=0 or f(x)=0

So look through the table and find where f(x)=0.

From the table, f(x)=0 at x=3.

We write this as an ordered pair.

Therefore the x-intercept is (3,0)

The correct choice is B.

Approximately 80,000 marriages took place in the state of New York last year. Estimate the probability that for at least one of
sasho [114]

Answer:

a)0,45119

b)1

Step-by-step explanation:

For part A of the problem we must first find the probability that both people in the couple have the same birthday (April 30)

P=\frac{1}{365} *\frac{1}{365}=\frac{1}{133225} \\

Now the poisson approximation is used

λ=nP=80000*1/133225=0,6

Now, let X be the number of couples that birth April 30

P(X ≥ 1) =

1 − P(X = 0) =

1-\frac{(e^-0.6)*(-0,6)^{0} }{0!}

P(X ≥ 1) = 0,45119

B)  Now want to find the

probability that both partners celebrated their birthday on th, assuming that the year is 52 weeks and therefore 52 thursday

P=52*\frac{1}{365} *\frac{1}{365}=\frac{52}{133225} \\

Now the poisson approximation is used

λ=nP=80000*52/133225=31.225

Now, let X be the number of couples that birth same day

P(X ≥ 1) =

1 − P(X = 0) =

1-\frac{(e^-31.225)*(-31.225)^{0} }{0!}

P(X ≥ 1) = 1

Suppose x follows a continuous uniform distribution from 1 to 5. determine the conditional probability p(x >2.5 | x ≤ 4).
Rainbow [258]
Because the random variable x follows a continuous uniform distribution from x=1 to x=5, therefore
p(x) = 1/4,  x=[1, 5]
The value of p(x) ensures that the total area under the curve = 1.

The conditional probability p(x > 2.5 | x ≤ 4) is the shaded portion of the curve. Its value is
p(x > 2.5 | x ≤4) = (1/4)*(4 - 2.5) = 0.375

Answer: 0.375
