Answer:

The required probability is : \frac{1}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

Three married couples have purchased theater tickets and are seated in a row consisting of just six seats.

First we will check the total arrangements that is 6! ways.

6! = 6\times5\times4\times3\times2\times1=720

Jim and Paula can sit at far left in 2 ways and the remaining 4 in 4! ways,.

So, probability will be = 2\times\frac{4!}{6!}

= 2\times\frac{24}{720}

= \frac{48}{720}

= \frac{1}{15}

For the equation ae^ct=d, solve for the variable t in terms of a,c, and d. Express your answer in terms of the natural logarithm
saveliy_v [14]

We have been given an equation ae^{ct}=d. We are asked to solve the equation for t.

First of all, we will divide both sides of equation by a.

\frac{ae^{ct}}{a}=\frac{d}{a}

e^{ct}=\frac{d}{a}

Now we will take natural log on both sides.

\text{ln}(e^{ct})=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})

Using natural log property \text{ln}(a^b)=b\cdot \text{ln}(a), we will get:

ct\cdot \text{ln}(e)=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})

We know that \text{ln}(e)=1, so we will get:

ct\cdot 1=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})

ct=\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})

Now we will divide both sides by c as:

\frac{ct}{c}=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}

t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}

Therefore, our solution would be t=\frac{\text{ln}(\frac{d}{a})}{c}.

Canteen A, canteen B and Canteen C repeat their lunch means every 12 days, 8days and 10 days respectively. All three canteens se
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

120 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Canteen A = 12 days

Canteen B = 8 days

Canteen C = 10 days

How many days later will all three canteen serving noodles soup again?

To find the number of days all 3 canteens will serve food again, find the lowest common multiples of all 3 canteens

Canteen A = 12 days

34, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144

Canteen B = 8 days

16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120

Canteen C = 10 days

20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130

The lowest common multiple of 12 days, 8 days and 10 days is 120 days

The next day all 3 canteens will serve soup together again is the next 120 days

An environmental scientist wants to use a 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean number of hours per day her solar panel r
MissTica

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval for the mean number of hours per day her solar panel receives direct sunlight is between 2.5 and 11.7.

b) The confidence interval is built from a sample of 48 days. However, we can be 95% sure that for all days, the mean number of hours per day her solar panel receives direct sunlight is between 2.5 and 11.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample. So we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 48 - 1 = 47

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 47 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975. So we have T = 2.0117

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.0117*2.3 = 4.6

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 7.1 - 4.6 = 2.5 hours of sunlight per day

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 7.1 + 4.6 = 11.7 hours of sunlight per day

a) Compute the 95% confidence interval for the mean.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean number of hours per day her solar panel receives direct sunlight is between 2.5 and 11.7.

b) Explain your confidence interval from part (a) in context.

The confidence interval is built from a sample of 48 days. However, we can be 95% sure that for all days, the mean number of hours per day her solar panel receives direct sunlight is between 2.5 and 11.7.
