A survey finds that 40% of students ride in a car to school. Eri would like to estimate the probability that if 3 students were

randomly selected, only 1 rides in a car. To simulate this probability, she lets the numbers 0, 1, 2, and 3 represent a student who rides in a car to school and then 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 represent a student who does not ride in a car to school. She then has a computer randomly select 3 numbers. She repeats this process for 20 trials. The results of these trials are shown in the table.
468 380 120 220 553 945 935 607 473 490 074 981 692 518 408 954 943 389 594 569

Based on this simulation, what is the estimated probability that only 1 of 3 randomly selected students rides in a car to school?

First, we analyze the data given:

468 = no student rides a car to school
380 = 2 students 
120 = 3 students
220 = 3 students
553 = 1
945 = none
935 = 1
607 = 1
473 = 1
490 = 1
074 = 1
981 = 1
692 = 1
518 = 1
408 = 1
954 = none
943 = 1 
389 = 1
594 = none 
569 = none 

Total = 20 trials
Number of 1 student trial = 12

Therefore, the probability <span>that only 1 of 3 randomly selected students rides in a car to school is 12/20 = 0.6</span><span />

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0=2x2+3x-8?
Basile [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is

2x^2+3x-8 = 0

To find the roots of the equation. We will apply the general formula for quadratic equations

x = -b ± √b^2 - 4ac]/2a

from the equation,

a = 2

b = 3

c = -8

It becomes

x = [- 3 ± √3^2 - 4(2 × -8)]/2×2

x = - 3 ± √9 - 4(- 16)]/2×2

x = [- 3 ± √9 + 64]/2×2

x = [- 3 ± √73]/4

x = [- 3 ± 8.544]/4

x = (-3 + 8.544) /4 or x = (-3 - 8.544) / 4

x = 5.544/4 or - 11.544/4

x = 1.386 or x = - 2.886

The positive solution is 1.39 rounded up to the nearest hundredth

Anita can clean a typical pool in 8 hours. Chao can clean a typical pool in 6 hours. How long should it take Anita and Chao work
ivanzaharov [21]
Anita can clean 1/8 portion of the pool in 1 hour

Chao can clean 1/6 portion of the pool in 1 hour

Both of them working together can clean 1/8 + 1/6 = 7/24 portion of the pool in 1 hour

Therefore, it will take both of the working together 1/(7/24) = 24/7 or 3 3/7 hours to clean a typical pool.

g In a survey of 500 residents, 300 were opposed to the use of the photo-cop for issuing traffic tickets.The standard error of t
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Z-score 1.96

Margin of error d= 0.04323

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The study variable in this case is

X: Number of people that oppose the use of photo-cop for issuing traffic tickets in a sample of 500.

n= 500

The parameter of interest is the proportion of people that opposes it.

The estimated proportion is p'= 300/500= 0.6

To estimate the population proportion per Confidence interval you have to approximate the distribution of the sample proportion p' to normal:

p'≈N(p;p(1-p)1/n)

The mean of this distribution is p and the variance is p*(1-p)*1/n

To construct the Confidence interval, since the value of the population proportion is unknown, an estimated variance is used:

p'(1-p')*1/n ⇒ then the estimated standard error is √(p'(1-p')*1/n)

The formula for the confidence interval is:

p' ± Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }

Where "Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }" represents the margin of error of the interval.

Now for a confidence level of 0.95 the value of Z is Z_{0.975}= 1.965

The estimated standard error is already calculated: \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} } = 0.022

The margin of error (d) is then:

d= Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }= 1.965 * 0.022

d= 0.04323

I hope it helps!

If r=[x,y,z] and r0=[x0,y0,z0], describe the set of all points (x,y,z) such that Ir-r0I =1.
sdas [7]

Answer:

The points (x,y,z) that respond to Ir-r0I =1, are all that describes the form (x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2+(z-z_0)^2=1 with:

-1+x₀<x<1+x₀

-1+y₀<y<1+y₀

-1+z₀<z<1+z₀

Step-by-step explanation:

All points required in this problem came from applying the definition of modulus of a vector:

Ir-r0I =1.

|(x,y,z)-(x_{0},y_{0},z_{0})|=|(x-x_{0},y-y_{0},z-z_{0})|=\sqrt{(x-x_{0})^2+(y-y_{0})^2+(z-z_{0})^2}=1\\(x-x_{0})^2+(y-y_{0})^2+(z-z_{0})^2=1^2=1
