A mercury thermometer records a temperature of 8 degrees Fahrenheit at 10:00am.If the Temperature drops by 3 degrees Fahrenheit
AysviL [449]

Given:

Temperature at 10:00 am = 8 degrees Fahrenheit

Temperature drops by 3 degrees Fahrenheit every hour.

To find:

The temperature by 2:00pm of the same day.

Solution:

Let y be the temperature after x hour after 10:00 am.

The temperature at 10:00 am is the initial temperature.

So, y-intercept of the linear function is 8.

Temperature drops by 3 degrees Fahrenheit every hour.

So, slope of linear function is -3. Here, negative sign represents the decrease in the temperature.

Slope intercept form of a linear function is

y=mx+b

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Substitute m=-3 and y=8 in the above equation.

y=-3x+8

Difference between 2:00pm and 10:00 am is 4 hours. So, substitute x=4 in the above equation.

y=-3(4)+8

y=-12+8

y=-4

Therefore, the temperature by 2:00pm of the same day is -4 degrees Fahrenheit.

At a certain airport, 75% of the flights arrive on time. A sample of 10 flights is studied. Assume each flight is independent of
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

52.56% probability that eight or more of the flights will arrive on time.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each flight, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is on time, or it is not. The probability of a flight being on time is independent from other flights. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.]

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

At a certain airport, 75% of the flights arrive on time.

This means that p = 0.75

A sample of 10 flights is studied.

This means that n = 10

Find the probability that eight or more of the flights will arrive on time.

P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.75)^{8}.(0.25)^{2} = 0.2816

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.75)^{9}.(0.25)^{1} = 0.1877

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.75)^{10}.(0.25)^{0} = 0.0563

P(X \geq 8) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.2816 + 0.1877 + 0.0563 = 0.5256

52.56% probability that eight or more of the flights will arrive on time.

Diagram for part A and part C is attached herewith.

Solving for part B:-

Given is the circle O. We start with drawing two radii OA and OC, then we join two points A and C to make a chord AC of the circle. Now The radius of the circle intersects the chord AC at point B such that it bisects AC into two equal parts AB and BC. Now we have two triangles ΔOBA and ΔOBC. In these two triangles, we have OA=OC (radii of circle), OB=OB (reflexive property), and BA=BC (given in the question). Using SSS congruency of triangles we can say ΔOBA≡ΔOBC and using CPCTC, we can conclude ∡OBA=∡OBC (=90°). Hence OB⊥AC i.e. OB is perpendicular to AC.

Solving for part D:-

Given is the circle O. We start with drawing two radii OA and OC, then we join two points A and C to make a chord AC of the circle. Now The radius of the circle intersects the chord AC at point B such that AB is perpendicular to AC i.e. ∡B=90°. Now we have two Right triangles ΔOBA and ΔOBC. In these two triangles, we have OA=OC (radii of circle), OB=OB (reflexive property). Using HL congruency of right triangles we can say ΔOBA≡ΔOBC and using CPCTC, we can conclude BA=BC. Hence OB bisects AC into AB=BC.
