A moving van ramp is 72 inches in length. The top of the ramp can be adjusted to any height up to 20 inches. The ramp is set so

that the distance across the ground from the bottom of the ramp to the ground underneath the top of the ramp is 70 inches. What is the height of the ramp above the ground? Round the answer to the nearest tenth of an inch.

The ramp forms a right triangle with the ground and the hypotenuse is 72 cm. From the statement, one of the legs of the right triangle formed is 70 cm. We use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate for the height.
                
                                 c² = a² + b²
Substituting,
                           (72 cm)² = (70 cm)² + b²
                                    b = 16.85 cm

Thus, the height of the ramp above the ground is approximately 16.85 cm.

Suppose that 4% of the 2 million high school students who take the SAT each year receive special accommodations because of docum
dangina [55]

Answer:

a. 0.0122

b. 0.294

c. 0.2818

d. 30.671%

e. 2.01 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let X represents the number of students that receive special accommodation

P(X) = 4%

P(X) = 0.04

Let S = Sample Size = 30

Let Y be a selected numbers of Sample Size

Y ≈ Bin (30,0.04)

a. The probability that 1 candidate received special accommodation

P(Y = 1) = (30,1)

= (0.04)¹ * (1 - 0.04)^(30 - 1)

= 0.04 * 0.96^29

= 0.012244068467946074580191760542164986632531806368667873050624

P(Y=1) = 0.0122 --- Approximated

b. The probability that at least 1 received a special accommodation is given by:

This means P(Y≥1)

But P(Y=0) + P(Y≥1) = 1

P(Y≥1) = 1 - P(Y=0)

Calculating P(Y=0)

P(Y=0) = (0.04)° * (1 - 0.04)^(30 - 0)

= 1 * 0.96^36

= 0.293857643230705789924602253011959679180763352848028953214976

= 0.294 --- Approximated

c.

The probability that at least 2 received a special accommodation is given by:

P (Y≥2) = 1 -P(Y=0) - P(Y=1)

= 0.294 - 0.0122

= 0.2818

d. The probability that the number among the 15 who received a special accommodation is within 2 standard deviations of the number you would expect to be accommodated?

First, we calculate the standard deviation

SD = √npq

n = 15

p = 0.04

q = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96

SD = √(15 * 0.04 * 0.96)

SD = 0.758946638440411

SD = 0.759

Mean =np = 15 * 0.04 = 0.6

The interval that is two standard deviations away from .6 is [0, 2.55] which means that we want the probability that either 0, 1 , or 2 students among the 20 students received a special accommodation.

P(Y≤2)

P(0) + P(1) + P(2)

=.

P(0) + P(1) = 0.0122 + 0.294

Calculating P(2)

P(2) = (0.04)² * (1 - 0.04)^(30 - 2(

P(2) = 0.00051

So,

P(0) +P(1) + P(2). = 0.0122 + 0.294 + 0.00051

= 0.30671

Thus it 30.671% probable that 0, 1, or 2 students received accommodation.

e.

The expected value from d) is .6

The average time is [.6(4.5) + 19.2(3)]/30 = 2.01 hours

Which transformations have been applied to the graph of f(x) = x2 to produce the graph of g(x) = –5x2 + 100x – 450? Select three
RSB [31]

Answer:

The graph of f(x) is shifted up 50 units

The graph of f(x) is shifted right 10 units

The graph of f(x) is reflected over the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=x^{2}

This is a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex is a minimum

The vertex is the origin (0,0)

g(x)=-5x^{2}+100x-450

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

The first thing to note is that fx) is a parabola that opens up and g(x) opens down, so a reflection across the x-axis must have been applied.

Find the vertex of g(x)

Convert to vertex form

g(x)=-5x^{2}+100x-450

Complete the square

g(x)=-5(x^{2}-20x)-450

g(x)=-5(x^{2}-20x+100)-450+500

g(x)=-5(x^{2}-20x+100)+50

g(x)=-5(x-10)^{2}+50

The vertex is the point (10,50)

so

To translate the vertex of (0,0) to (10,50)

The rule of the translation is

(x,y) ------> (x+10,y+50)

That means ----> The translation is 10 units at right and 50 units up

therefore

The transformations are

The graph of f(x) is shifted up 50 units

The graph of f(x) is shifted right 10 units

The graph of f(x) is reflected over the x-axis
