H represents the height of the ball at a given time, symbolised as t.
Thus, we just need to find when h = 0 so that we find when it hits the ground.

0 = -4.9t² + 19.6t + 58.8
0 = 4.9t² - 19.6t - 58.8
0 = 49t² - 196t - 588
0 = t² - 4t - 12
0 = (t - 6)(t + 2)

So, t = 6 or -2, but t ≠ -2, since time cannot be negative in this instance.

Hence, at 6 seconds, the ball will strike the ground.

Using the quadratic formula to solve 5x = 6x2 – 3, what are the values of x?
Tema [17]
Your x values are 1.24 and -0.404.
First you need to make the equation equal 0, and you can do this simply by subtracting 5x, so you get
6x² - 3 - 5x = 0
The quadratic formula is (-b +- √b² - 4ac)/2a, where a is the x², b is the x, and c is the value. This means we can just substitute it in.
You find the value of the part inside the square root, which is -5² - 4 × 6 × -3 = 97. Now we can use this to substitute in to (5 +- √97)/12. We can do it with the plus sign, and get 1.24, and then with the subtract sign and get -0.404.

I hope this helps!

A probability calculator is required on this problem; answer to six decimal places. Suppose we will spin the wheel pictured 400
KiRa [710]

Answer:

P(90< X< 110)= P(\frac{90-80}{8}

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(90< X< 110)=P(z

And we can find the real value with the following excel code using the binomial distribution:

"=BINOM.DIST(110,400,0.2,TRUE)-BINOM.DIST(89,400,0.2,TRUE)"

And we got 0.118 a very close value from the value obtained using the normal approximation

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=400, p=0.2)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

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

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.

np=400*0.2=80 \geq 10

n(1-p)=400*(1-0.2)=320 \geq 10

So we see that we satisfy the conditions and then we can apply the approximation.

If we appply the approximation the new mean and standard deviation are:

E(X)=np=400*0.2=80

\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{400*0.2(1-0.2)}=8

So then we can approximate the random variable as X \sim N(\mu = 80, \sigma = 8)

And we want this probability:

P(90< X< 110)

We can use the z score formula given by:

z = \frac{x -\mu}{\sigma}

And replacing we got:

P(90< X< 110)= P(\frac{90-80}{8}

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(90< X< 110)=P(z

And we can find the real value with the following excel code using the binomial distribution:

"=BINOM.DIST(110,400,0.2,TRUE)-BINOM.DIST(89,400,0.2,TRUE)"

And we got 0.118 a very close value from the value obtained using the normal approximation

A biased die has a probability of 1/4 of showing a 5, while the probability of any of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 turning up is the same .
just olya [345]
Possibilities of outcomes:
5, 5, 5
5, 5, 4

P(sum at least 14) = P(5,5,4) + P(5,5,5)
= 1/4 x 1/4 x 3/20 + 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4
