There are three outcomes of 4 out of eighteen outcomes, so the fraction of angle of spinner numbered 4 is $\frac{3}{8}$

Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

A circle is divided into 9 uneven pie shaped pieces.

Each section is labeled 1 to 9.

When the circle is spun and the number pointing north it will be recorded:

4 3 2 1 9 8 5 6 7 4 3 2 1 5 8 6 5 4

We need to find the central angle of the section labeled 4.

Number of times 4 occur= 3

Total number of times it has been recorded = 18

So, Probability of getting "4" is given by

$\frac{\text{Numberof favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes }}\\\\=\frac{3}{18}\\\\=\frac{1}{6}$

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.

Answer:

The probabilities are 0.480;0.077 and 0.443 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a conditional probability exercise.

Let's define conditional probability :

Given two events A and B :

$P(A/B)=\frac{P(A,B)}{P(B)} \\P(B) > 0$

P(A,B) = P(A∩B) = P(B∩A) = P(B,A) : Is the probability that event A and event B occur at the same time.

We define the following events :

S1 : ''Specialist 1 processes requisitions''

S2 : ''Specialist 2 processes requisitions''

S3 : ''Specialist 3 preocesses requisitions''

I : ''Incorrect entered requisitions''

In our exercise :

$P(S1)=0.42\\P(S2)=0.27\\P(S3)=0.31\\P(I/S1)=0.04\\P(I/S2)=0.01\\P(I/S3)=0.05$

We are ask to find

$P(S1/I) ;P(S2/I);P(S3/I)$

We write the conditional equations :

$P(I/S1)=\frac{P(I,S1)}{P(S1)} \\0.04=\frac{P(I,S1)}{0.42} \\P(I,S1)=0.0168$

$P(I/S2)=\frac{P(I,S2)}{P(S2)} \\0.01=\frac{P(I,S2)}{0.27} \\P(I,S2)=0.0027$

$P(I/S3)=\frac{P(I,S3)}{P(S3)} \\0.05=\frac{P(I,S3)}{0.31} \\P(I,S3)=0.0155$

We also define

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(I) = P [(I,S1)∪(I,S2)∪(I,S3)]

$P(I) =P(I,S1) +P(I,S2)+P(I,S3)\\P(I)=0.0168+0.0027+0.0155\\P(I)=0.035$

There is no intersection between (I,S1);(I,S2) and (I,S3) because they are mutually exclusive events.

$P(S1/I)=\frac{P(I,S1)}{P(I)} =\frac{0.0168}{0.035} =0.480\\P(S2/I)=\frac{P(I,S2)}{P(I)} =\frac{0.0027}{0.035} =0.077\\P(S3/I)=\frac{P(I,S3)}{P(I)} =\frac{0.0155}{0.035} =0.443$

a ball is thrown with a slingshot at a velocity of 110ft/sec at an angle of 20 degrees above the ground from a height of 4.5 ft.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

$t=2.47\ s$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that models the height of the ball in feet as a function of time is

$h(t) = h_0 + s_0t -16t ^ 2$

Where $h_0$ is the initial height, $s_0$ is the initial velocity and t is the time in seconds.

We know that the initial height is:

$h_0 = 4.5\ ft$

The initial speed is:

$s_0 = 110sin(20\°)\\\\s_0 = 37.62\ ft/s$

So the equation is:

$h (t) = 4.5 + 37.62t -16t ^ 2$

The ball hits the ground when when $h(t) = 0$

So

$4.5 + 37.62t -16t ^ 2 = 0$

We use the quadratic formula to solve the equation for t

For a quadratic equation of the form

$at^2 +bt + c$

The quadratic formula is:

$t=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}$

In this case

$a= -16\\\\b=37.62\\\\c=4.5$

Therefore

$t=\frac{-37.62\±\sqrt{(37.62)^2 -4(-16)(4.5)}}{2(-16)}$

$t_1=-0.114\ s\\\\t_2=2.47\ s$

We take the positive solution.

Finally the ball takes 2.47 seconds to touch the ground
