Alice and Betsy agreed to meet at 3:00PM and o shopping in one of the 6 clothing stores in their hometown.. However, they forgot

to specify which store. If Alice and Betsy were both on time and each went to one of the 6 stores, find the number of ways in which they could miss each other.

They could miss each other 30 different ways. I solved this by drawing it out six different stores and making Alice and Betsy go to each one may different times. Example photo included for how I got the first five. Then I did the same thing, but switch A and B, counted that towards the total and continued the is drawing until all the possibilities were found.

Viefleur [7K]

Since there are 6 students out of which one needs to be selected, the principal chose two die on which there are six numbers each numbered from 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Since there are two dice, the total possible outcome is 36.

Hence, the probability of getting one number each is 1/36

Hence, the principal used a fair method because each result is an equally likely possible outcome.

Option B is correct.

If a hurricane was headed your way, would you evacuate? The headline of a press release states, "Thirty-four Percent of People o
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval would be given by (0.326;0.354)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

X=63 number of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

n=6138 random sample taken

\hat p=0.34 estimated proportion of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

p true population proportion of people who live within 20 miles of the coast in high hurricane risk counties of eight southern states

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

2) Confidence interval

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 98% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.98=0.02 and \alpha/2 =0.01. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.33, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.33

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

If we replace the values obtained we got:

0.34 - 2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.34(1-0.34)}{6138}}=0.326

0.34 + 2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.34(1-0.34)}{6138}}=0.354

The 98% confidence interval would be given by (0.326;0.354)

On a recent road trip, Mr. Yost drove 210 miles in 3 1/2 hours. Find both the miles driven per hour and the hours driven per mil
amid [387]

Miles driven per hour is 60 miles per hour

Hours driven per mile is 0.01667 hours per mile

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

On a recent road trip, Mr. Yost drove 210 miles in 3 1/2 hours

Therefore,

Miles driven = 210 miles

Time\ taken = 3\frac{1}{2}\ hour = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5\ hour

To find: miles driven per hour and the hours driven per mile

<h3><u>Miles driven per hour</u></h3>

\frac{miles}{hour} = \frac{210}{3.5}\\\\\frac{miles}{hour} = 60\ miles\ per\ hour

<h3><u>Hours driven per mile</u></h3>

\frac{hours}{miles} = \frac{3.5}{210}\\\\\frac{hours}{miles} = 0.01667\ hours\ per\ miles

Thus both the miles driven per hour and the hours driven per mile are found

A graph of a quadratic function y = f(x) is shown below.
spin [16.1K]

We are given a graph of a quadratic function y = f(x) .

We need to find the solution set of the given graph of a quadratic function .

<em>Note: Solution of a function the values of x-coordinates, where graph cut the x-axis.</em>

For the shown graph, we can see that parabola in the graph doesn't cut the x-axis at any point.

It cuts only y-axis.

Because solution of a graph is only the values of x-coordinates, where graph cut the x-axis. Therefore, there would not by any solution of the quadratic function y = f(x).

<h3>So, the correct option is 2nd option :∅.</h3>

Twelve people each have a standard deck of cards. Each person shuffles the deck and draws two cards (without replacement). Anyon
Arada [10]

Answer:

The number of people, of the twelve, who will win a prize is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard deck of cards there are 52 cards.

The 52 cards are divided into 4 suits: Hearts, Diamonds, Spades and Clubs, each of 13 cards.

Each of the 12 people draws 2 cards from their standard deck of cards.

Compute the probability of selecting at least 1 diamond as follows:

P (At least 1 diamond) = 1 - P (No diamond)

                                    =1-\frac{{39\choose 2}}{{52\choose 2}} \\=1-\frac{741}{1326}\\ =1-0.5588\\=0.4412

The probability of selecting at least 1 diamond is 0.4412.

If a person draws at least 1 diamond he wins a prize.

The expected number of people who will win the prize is:

E (Wins a prize) = n × P (At least 1 diamond)

                          =12\times0.4412\\=5.2944\\\approx5

Thus, the number of people of the twelve who will win a prize is 5.
