The Chang family is on their way home from a cross-country road trip. During the trip, the function D(t) = 2,280 - 60t can be us

ed to
represent their distance, in miles, from home after t hours of driving. What is the value of t when D(t) = 1,200? What does that value
represent?
A t = 20; the Chang family has been driving for 20 hours
B. t = 20; the Chang family has 20 hours more to drive to get home
C. t = 18; the Chang family has been driving for 18 hours

laiz [17]

Answer:

0.0906

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the prevalence of a certain type of tree allergy is 0.26 in the general population

X- the no of persons having tree allergy is binomial since each persons is independent of the other and there are two outcomes.

Here n = 100

Required probability = the probability that exactly 26 of them will have this allergy

=P(x=26)=100C26(0.26)^{26} (1-0,26)^{100-26}\\ =0.09063\\=0.0906

A player of a video game is confronted with a series of four opponents and an 80% probability of defeating each opponent. Assume
mixer [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.4096

(b) 0.64

(c) 0.7942

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the player wins is,

P(W)=0.80

Then the probability that the player losses is,

P(L)=1-P(W)=1-0.80=0.20

The player is playing the video game with 4 different opponents.

It is provided that when the player is defeated by an opponent the game ends.

All the possible ways the player can win is: {L, WL, WWL, WWWL and WWWW)

(a)

The results from all the 4 opponents are independent, i.e. the result of a game played with one opponent is unaffected by the result of the game played with another opponent.

The probability that the player defeats all four opponents in a game is,

P (Player defeats all 4 opponents) = P(W)\times P(W)\times P(W)\times P(W)=[P(W)]^{4} =(0.80)^{4}=0.4096

Thus, the probability that the player defeats all four opponents in a game is 0.4096.

(b)

The probability that the player defeats at least two opponents in a game is,

P (Player defeats at least 2) = 1 - P (Player losses the 1st game) - P (Player losses the 2nd game) = 1-P(L)-P(WL)

                                    =1-(0.20)-(0.80\times0.20)\\=1-0.20-0.16\\=0.64

Thus, the probability that the player defeats at least two opponents in a game is 0.64.

(c)

Let <em>X</em> = number of times the player defeats all 4 opponents.

The probability that the player defeats all four opponents in a game is,

P(WWWW) = 0.4096.

Then the random variable X\sim Bin(n=3, p=0.4096)

The probability distribution of binomial is:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x} (1-p)^{n-x}

The probability that the player defeats all the 4 opponents at least once is,

P (<em>X</em> ≥ 1) = 1 - P (<em>X</em> < 1)

             = 1 - P (<em>X</em> = 0)

             =1-[{3\choose 0}(0.4096)^{0} (1-0.4096)^{3-0}]\\=1-[1\times1\times (0.5904)^{3}\\=1-0.2058\\=0.7942

Thus, the probability that the player defeats all the 4 opponents at least once is 0.7942.

The value of good wine increases with age. Thus, if you are a wine dealer, you have the problem of deciding whether to sell your
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: 64 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume the dealer sold the bottle now for $P, then invested that money at 5% interest. The return would be:

R1 = P(1.05)^t,

This means that after t years, the dealer would have the total amount of:

$P×1.05^t.

If the dealer prefer to wait for t years from now to sell the bottle of wine, then he will get the return of:

R2 = $P(1 + 20).

The value of t which will make both returns equal, will be;

R1 = R2.

P×1.05^t = P(1+20)

P will cancel out

1.05^t = 21

Log both sides

Log1.05^t = Log21

tLog1.05 = Log21

t = Log21/Log1.05

t = 64 years

The best time to sell the wine is therefore 64years from now.

A researcher in environmental science is conducting a study to investigate the impact of a particular herbicide on fish. He has
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The herbicide has no impact on fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Experimental research includes to divide the concerned group 'fishes' here into 'treatment' & 'control' group, to study impact of a treatment. Hypothesis test the statistical significance of  propositions. Null hypothesis signifies no impact, alternate hypothesis signifies impact.

Let averages enzyme level of treatment & control be Xt & Xc

  • Null Hypothesis [H0] : Xt = Xc, or Xt - Xc = 0
  • Alternate Hypothesis [H1] : Xt ≠ Xc, or Xt - Xc ≠ 0

If hypothesis test suggests that there is no significant difference between treatment & control group enzyme level, so we reject H0 & accept H1. It implies that the herbicide has no significant impact on fishes enzymes.
