<span>The answer is 0.8347. Mean u = 1/m = 3.6 per hour Time x = 0.5 hour Exponential Probability = P(X <= x) Going by the Cumulative distribution function P(X <= x) = 1 - e^(-mx) P(X < .5) = 1 – exp^(-3.6 x 0.5) = 1 – 0.1653 = 0.8347</span>

Find the times (to the nearest hundredth of a second) that the weight is halfway to its maximum negative position over the inter
lesya [120]

Answer:

0.20 and 0.36

Step-by-step explanation:

y(t) = 2 sin (4π t) + 5 cos (4π t)

We wish to convert this to:

y = A sin(ωt + φ)

We know that ω = 4π.  We also know the following:

5 = A sin φ

2 = A cos φ

Divide the first equation by the second equation:

5/2 = tan φ

φ = tan⁻¹(5/2)

Now, square the two equations and add them together.

5² + 2² = (A sin φ)² + (A cos φ)²

29 = A²

A = √29

The equation of the wave is therefore:

y = √29 sin(4π t + tan⁻¹(5/2))

The maximum negative position is -√29.  And half of that is -½√29.

-½√29 = √29 sin(4π t + tan⁻¹(5/2))

-½ = sin(4π t + tan⁻¹(5/2))

7π/6 + 2kπ or 11π/6 + 2kπ = 4π t + tan⁻¹(5/2)

7 + 12k or 11 + 12k = 24t + 6 tan⁻¹(5/2) / π

t = (7 + 12k − 6 tan⁻¹(5/2) / π) / 24 or (11 + 12k − 6 tan⁻¹(5/2) / π) / 24

Trying different integer values of k, we find there are two possible values for t between 0 and 0.5, both when k = 0.

t = (7 − 6 tan⁻¹(5/2) / π) / 24 or (11 − 6 tan⁻¹(5/2) / π) / 24

t ≈ 0.20 or 0.36

The water works commission needs to know the mean household usage of water by the residents of a small town in gallons per day.
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: 387

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Standard deviation: \sigma=2.3

Margin of error : 0.15

Critical value for 80% confidence interval = 1.2816

Required minimum sample size : n=(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma}{E})^2

\\\\=(\dfrac{1.2816\times2.3}{0.15})^2\\\\=386.16966144\approx387

Hence, the minimum sample size required to estimate the mean usage of water = 387

Erik's disabled sailboat is floating stationary 3 miles east and 2 miles north of Kingston. A ferry leaves Kingston heading towa
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose that Ballard is an origin with coordinates (0;0)

Ballard is 8 miles south and 1 mile west of Edmonds ⇒ Edmonds is 1 mile east and 8 miles north of Ballard.

Thus, coordinates of Edmonds (0+1; 0+8) (1;8)

Edmonds is 6 miles due east of Kingston. So, is 6 miles due of Edmonds

Thus, Kingston coordinates (1-6;8) (-5:8)

Sailboat is 3 miles east and 2 miles north of kingston

So, coordinates of sailboat are (-5+3; 8+2) (-2;10)

a)

Ferry leaves Kingston towards Edmonds at mph and Edmonds is 6 miles due east of Kingston.

Initial ferry coordinates as calculated above are equal to Kingston coordinates (-5;8)

After 20 minutes the ferry turns to south.

This distance travelled (20min) is d=9mph*20/60h=3 miles

So, ferry travelled 3 miles toward east in 20 min

Then, coordinates became (-5+3;8+0) (-2;8)

Thus, we have a line connecting two points (-5;8) and (-2;8)

Line connecting them has an equation:

y-8 = (8-8)/(-2+5) * (x+5)

y-8=0

y=8 - This is the equation for the first 20 minutes of travel

Then, ferry turns due south (-2;8) and has a vertiacl line

The equation of verical line is x=a, so the equation will be x=2

b) The sailboat has a radar scope that will detect any object within 3 miles of the sailboat.

region looks like a circular disc with a center (-2;10)

(x+2)^2+(y-10)^2=3^2

(x+2)^2+(y-10)^2 <9 (interior of the circular disc)

(x+2)^2+(y-10)^2 >9 (exterior)

The equation of the line joining the Kingston and Edmonds is y=8

the point of intersection:

(x+2)^2+(8-10)^2=9

(x+2)^2=5

x is approximately 0.24; -4.24

(0.24;8) (-4.24;8) - intersection points

c) The ferry exits the radar during the trid due south long x=-2

The points of intersection of the circle and the line x=-2:

(-2+2)^2+(y-10)^2=9

0+(y-10)^2=0

y is 7.13

(-2;7)

d) Takes south turn at (-2;8), then ferry travels 0.8 miles up to point (-2;7) where it exists the radar zone

Speed is 9mph

The time taken to cover 1 mile = t=1/9hr=1/9 *60=6.667min

So, it exists after 6.67 minutes

e) Ferry enters at (-4.24;8) and takes turn due to south at (-2;8)

The distance travelled is = [-4.24+2]=2.24 miles

The time taken to cover these miles is = t=2.24/9 *60=14.93 min

After turning to south ferry remains in radar for 6.7 min

So, it remains in radar zone for 14.93+6.7=21.63min
