Suppose that you bet $5 on each of a sequence of 50 independent fair games. Use the central limit theorem to approximate the pro

amm1812

Answer:

chances chances of happening = 0.0119

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

bet = $5

independent fair games = 50

solution

we will think game as the normal distribution

so here mean is will be

mean = $\frac{50}{2}$

mean = 25

and standard deviation will be

standard deviation = $\sqrt{50*0.5*0.5}$

standard deviation = 3.536

so

we have to lose 33 out of 50 time for lose more than $75

so as chance of doing things z score is

z score = $\frac{33-25}{3.536}$

z score = 2.26

so from z table

chances chances of this happening = 0.0119

One factor of the polynomial 2x^3 - 3x^2 - 3x + 2 is ( x - 2 ). Which expression represents the other factor, or factors, of the

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial is,

2x³ - 3x² - 3x + 2

If (x - 2) is the factor of the given polynomial,

By synthetic division we can get the other factor.

2 | 2 -3 -3 2

<u> 4 2 -2 </u>

2 1 -1 0

Therefore, other factor of the given polynomial is (2x² + x - 1)

Now (2x² + x - 1) = 2x² + 2x - x - 1

= 2x(x + 1) -1(x + 1)

= (2x - 1)(x + 1)

Therefore, factors of the given polynomial other than (x - 2) are (2x - 1) and (x + 1)

Option (D) will be the answer.

If the farmer has 234 feet of fencing, what are the dimensions of the region which enclose the maximal area?

marissa [1.9K]

Answer: 58 ft × 58 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the region = x feet

And, the width of the region = y feet

Since, the perimeter of the region = 234 feet ( Given )

⇒ $2(x+y) = 234$

⇒ $x+y = 117$

⇒ $y = 117 - x$

Again the area of the region, A = xy

⇒ $A(x) = x(117-x)$

⇒ $A(x) = 117x - x^2$

By differentiating the above equation with respect to x,

⇒ $A'(x) = 117 - 2x$

For maxima or minima,

$A'(x) = 0$

$\implies 117 - 2x = 0$

$\implies -2x = -117$

$\implies x = 58.5$

Again differentiating equation A'(x) with respect to x,

We get, A''(x) = -2

Hence, For x = 58.5 A''(x) = negative

⇒ For x = 58.5 feet the area A(x) is maximum,

⇒ The length of the region having maximum area = x = 58.5 feet

And, the width of the region having maximum area = y = 117-x= 117 - 58.5=58.5 feet,

⇒ The dimension of the region having the maximum area = 58.5 ft × 58.5 ft

Suppose the time a child spends waiting at for the bus as a school bus stop is exponentially distributed with mean 7 minutes. De

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning is 0.148.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the time a child spends waiting at for the bus as a school bus stop.

The random variable <em>X</em> is exponentially distributed with mean 7 minutes.

Then the parameter of the distribution is, $\lambda=\frac{1}{\mu}=\frac{1}{7}$ .

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

$f_{X}(x)=\lambda\cdot e^{-\lambda x};\ x>0,\ \lambda>0$

Compute the probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning as follows:

$P(6\leq X\leq 9)=\int\limits^{9}_{6} {\lambda\cdot e^{-\lambda x}} \, dx$

$=\int\limits^{9}_{6} {\frac{1}{7}\cdot e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}} \, dx \\\\=\frac{1}{7}\cdot \int\limits^{9}_{6} {e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}} \, dx \\\\=[-e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}]^{9}_{6}\\\\=e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot 6}-e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot 9}\\\\=0.424373-0.276453\\\\=0.14792\\\\\approx 0.148$

Thus, the probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning is 0.148.

Colin spends 1/3 of his wages on rent and 1/4 on food. If he makes £636 per week, how much money does he have left?

uysha [10]

Answer:

£265

Step-by-step explanation:

Total fraction of money spent= $\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{7}{12}$

Actual money spent = $\frac{7}{12}$ * £636

= £371

Money he has left = £(636 - 371)

= £265
