Answer:

The required division problem he must solve is:

\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{-3}{8} =\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{-8}{3}=\frac{-16}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Martin chose two of the cards below. When he found the quotient of the numbers, his answer was -16/9.

As we know that the quotient of the number is a negative number.

Therefore, the sign of both numbers must be different,

Thus we can concluded he must select \frac{2}{3} as one of the card, so that product is a negative number.

Let the selected card be x.

\frac{2}{3} \div x =\frac{-16}{9}\\\\x=\frac{2}{3}\div\frac{-16}{9}\\\\x=\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{-9}{16}\\\\x=\frac{-3}{8}

Hence, the two cards should be \frac{2}{3} and \frac{-3}{8}

The required division problem he must solve is:

\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{-3}{8} =\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{-8}{3}=\frac{-16}{9}

Which pair of expressions has equivalent values? 1 Superscript 13 and 1 Superscript 15 6 Superscript 1 and 9 Superscript 1 7 Sup
lora16 [44]

Answer:

1 Superscript 13 and 1 Superscript 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of exponentiation can be mathematically written as:

a^b

where a is called the base, and b is called the exponent.

Basically it means that we have to multiply the base with itself as many times as the value of the exponent.

For example 2^4 is 2•2•2•2

Having this in mind, 1^13 and 1^15 have equivalent values, because no matter how many times we multiply 1 with itself it will always be equal to 1.

A lake contains 4 distinct types of fish. Suppose that each fish caught is equally likely to be any one of these types. Let Y de
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

a) P(μ-k*σ≤ Y ≤ μ+k*σ ) ≥ 0.90

a= μ-3.16*σ , b= μ+3.16*σ

b) P(Y≥ μ+3*σ ) ≥ 0.90

b= μ+3*σ

Step-by-step explanation:

from Chebyshev's inequality for Y

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) ≥ 1-1/k²

where

Y =  the number of fish that need be caught to obtain at least one of each type

μ = expected value of Y

σ = standard deviation of Y

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) = probability that Y is within k standard deviations from the mean

k= parameter

thus for

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) ≥ 1-1/k²

P{a≤Y≤b} ≥ 0.90 →  1-1/k² = 0.90 → k = 3.16

then

P(μ-k*σ≤ Y ≤ μ+k*σ ) ≥ 0.90

using one-sided Chebyshev inequality (Cantelli's inequality)

P(Y- μ≥ λ) ≥ 1- σ²/(σ²+λ²)

P{Y≥b} ≥ 0.90  →  1- σ²/(σ²+λ²)=  1- 1/(1+(λ/σ)²)=0.90 → 3= λ/σ → λ= 3*σ

then for

P(Y≥ μ+3*σ ) ≥ 0.90

A car was travelling at a constant speed of 19 m/s, then accelerated for 10 seconds. The distance travelled, during this time, "
gregori [183]

Answer:

7.5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the distace  220m in the given equation:

d = 19t + t^2

200 = 19t + t^2

t^2 + 19t - 200 = 0

t = [-19 +/- sqrt(19^2 - 4*1*-200)]  / 2

t = -19 +/- sqrt(1161) / 2

t = ( -19 +/- 34.07) / 2

t = 7.535 seconds

The Ignorance Survey: United Kingdom A survey was conducted in the United Kingdom, where respondents were asked if they had a un
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Here we have given two catogaries as degree holder and non degree holder.

So here we have to test the hypothesis that,

H0 : p1 = p2 Vs H1 : p1 not= p2

where p1 is population proportion of degree holder.

p2 is population proportion of non degree holder.

Assume alpha = level of significance = 5% = 0.05

The test is two tailed.

Here test statistic follows standard normal distribution.

The test statistic is,

Z = (p1^ - p2^) / SE

where SE = sqrt[(p^*q^)/n1 + (p^*q^)/n2]

p1^ = x1/n1

p2^ = x2/n2

p^ = (x1+x2) / (n1+n2)

This we can done in TI_83 calculator.

steps :

STAT --> TESTS --> 6:2-PropZTest --> ENTER --> Input all the values --> select alternative "not= P2" --> ENTER --> Calculate --> ENTER

Test statistic Z = 1.60

P-value = 0.1090

P-value > alpha

Fail to reject H0 or accept H0 at 5% level of significance.

Conclusion : There is not sufficient evidence to say that  the percent of correct answers is significantly different between degree holders and non-degree holders.

Two cards are drawn at random with replacement. Find P(not blue, then pink). (Remember, percent is a fraction with 100 in the de
Nuetrik [128]
<h3>Answer: 32%</h3>

=======================================

Explanation:

There are 10 cards total. Of which, 8 are not blue. You can think of it as "there are 2 blue, so 10-2 = 8 are not blue", or you can count out the non-blue cards. The first option is faster in my opinion.

The probability of not getting blue is 8/10 = 0.80

After picking a first card and then putting it back, we will still have 10 cards. There are 4 pink cards out of this total, so 4/10 = 0.40 is the probability of getting a pink card.

--------

Multiply the two values we found earlier

0.80 * 0.40 = 0.32 = 32/100 = 32%
