Assume that the weight loss for the first month of a diet program varies between 6 pounds and 14 pounds, and is spread evenly over the range of possibilities, so that there is a uniform distribution. Find the probability of the given range of pounds lost.

1) P(x = 7)

2) Between 8.25 po9unds and 12 pounds.

3) Greater than 10.50 pounds.

Please show work.

Answers

Answer 1

Hello!

For this uniform distribution, the shape of the density function is a line. We can begin by identifying key elements of the distribution:

Range: 6 to 14 pounds

Formula of density function:

y = 1/Range

1 - (14 - 6) = 1/8 = 0.125

f(x) = 0.125

1)

P(x = 7)

A uniform distribution is a continuous distribution, so the probability of x being an EXACT value is approximately 0.

This is the same as if we took the following integral. (Finding the area under a curve with the same start and end point)
[tex]\int\limits^a_a {f(x)} \, dx = 0[/tex]

Therefore, P(x = 7) = 0.

2)
We can think of this as finding the area of a rectangle.

The width would be the difference between 8.25 pounds and 12 pounds:
W = 12 - 8.25 = 3.75

The height would be the function (y = .125), or:
h = .125

Using the equation for the area of a rectangle: (A = h * w)

A = 3.75 * .125 = 0.469

Thus, P(8.25 < x < 12) = 0.469

3)
To find the probability GREATER than 10.50 pounds, we can subtract this value from the max value for the width:
W = 14 - 10.50 = 3.50

The height is the same as above:
h = .125

Solve for the area:
A = 3.50 * .125 = 0.4375

P(x > 10.5) = 0.4375

Find the values of the coefficients b and c in the quadratic equation 3x2+bx+c if the sum and product of the roots of this equation are respectively 7/3 and 13/3.

Answers

Answer:

a = 3

b = -7

c = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\sf{given \ equation: 3x^2+bx+c[/tex]

[tex]\sf{sum \ of \ roots :\sf\frac{7}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\sf{product \ of \ the \ roots:\frac{13}{3}[/tex]

a = 3b = bc = c

[tex]\sf{sum \ of \ roots \ = -\dfrac{coefficient \of \ x}{coefficient \ of \ x^2} }[/tex]

[tex]\sf \frac{-b}{3} = \frac{7}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\sf b = \frac{-7*3}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\sf b =- 7[/tex]

[tex]\sf{product \ of \ roots \ = \dfrac{constant \ term}{coefficient \ of \ x^2} }[/tex]

[tex]\sf{\frac{c}{3} =\frac{13}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\sf c = \frac{13*3}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\sf c = 13[/tex]

Therefore found that a = 3, b = -7, c = 13

Answer:

b = -7

c = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3x^2+bx+c[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{sum of roots}=\dfrac{-b}{a}\\\\\textsf{product of roots}=\dfrac{c}{a}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Given sum of roots}=\dfrac73:[/tex]

[tex]\implies \dfrac{-b}{a}=\dfrac73[/tex]

[tex]\implies a=3, b=-7[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{Given product of roots}=\dfrac{13}{3}:[/tex]

[tex]\implies \dfrac{c}{a}=\dfrac{13}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\implies a=3, c=13[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]3x^2-7x+13[/tex]

NB: The actual calculated roots are imaginary numbers as the function [tex]f(x)=3x^2-7x+13[/tex] does not intercept the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

If [tex]\sf\:W = \frac { A } { 3 }[/tex], then A = ?

At first let's shift the the term 'W' to the LHS & A/3 to the RHS to bring the equation in the standard form.

[tex]\sf\:\frac{A}{3}=W[/tex]

Now, we know that, A/3 is the same as ⅓ A. Then,

[tex]\sf\:\frac{1}{3}A=W[/tex]

By multiplting both sides by 3..

[tex]\sf\:\frac{\frac{1}{3}A}{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{W}{\frac{1}{3}} \\\sf\: A=\frac{W}{\frac{1}{3}}[/tex]

Divide [tex]\sf\:\frac{W}{\frac{1}{3}}[/tex] by its reciprocal.

[tex]\sf\:A=\frac{W}{\frac{1}{3}} \\ \sf\:A = \frac{3W}{1}\\[/tex]

To find out which equation is the correct one, we just have to replace x with 5 for each one.

2 + x = 3

2 + 5 = 7

Since 2 + 5 is 7, this one is incorrect.

3 x 5 = 15

3 times 5 is 15, so B is correct. Let's try out the other ones anyway.

5 / 2 = 2.5

how long does it take to fill the pool?

write your answer as a whole number or decimal. do not round. ​

Answers

Using the volume of the rectangular prism, it is found that it takes 7 hours to fill the pool.

What is the volume of a rectangular prism?

The volume of a rectangular prism of dimensions l, w and h is given by the multiplication of it's dimensions, that is:

V = lwh.

In this problem, the dimensions in meters are: l = 7, w = 3, h = 0.75. Hence, the volume in cubic meters is:

V = lwh = 7(3)(0.75) = 15.75.

It fill 2.25 cubic meters per hour, hence, for 15.75 cubic meters, the time taken is:

15.75/2.25 = 7 hours.

18. Jace has $2.15 in nickels and dimes. If he has 7 more nickels than dimes, how many of each kind of coin does he have?

Answers

There are 12 dimes and 19 nickels

The required simultaneous equations

Since Jace has $2.15 in nickels and dimes.

We know that 1 nickel = $ 0.05 and 1 dime = $0.10

Let

n = number of nickels and n' = number of dimes

We have that

0.05n + 0.10n' = 2.15   (1)

Since he has 7 more nickels than dimes, we have that

n = n' + 7       (2)

The number of dimes

Substituting equation (2) into (1), we have

0.05n + 0.10n' = 2.15   (1)

0.05(n' + 7) + 0.10n' = 2.15  

0.05n' + 0.35 + 0.10n' = 2.15  

0.15n' + 0.35 = 2.15  

0.15n' = 2.15 - 0.35

0.15n' = 1.8

n' = 1.8/0.15

n' = 12

The number of nickels,

Since the number of nickels, n = n' + 7

Substituting n = 12 into the equation, we have

n = n' + 7

n = 12 + 7

n = 19

So, there are 12 dimes and 19 nickels

solve each proportion. 6.6/p = 9/12.15

Answers

Answer:

59.4/ 82.5 = 9/12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

6.6/p = 9/12.15

A fraction equal with another fraction, so we can cross multiply to to have a multiplication equal another multiplication.

6.6 * 12.5  = 9* p

To isolate p (our unknown) we divide both sides by 9

( 6.6 * 12.5) /9   = (9* p)/ 9

( 6.6 * 12.5) /9   = p

82.5 / 9 = p

The proportion is:

6.6/p = 9/12.15, substitute p = 82.5 / 9

6.6/(82.5/9) = 9/12.15, use that: a / (b/c) = (a/1 )*(c/b) = (a*c) / b

(6.6*9)/82.5 = 9/12.5

59.4/ 82.5 = 9 /12.5

Answer:

cos²Θ

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify the expression using the identities

tanΘ = [tex]\frac{sin0}{cos0}[/tex]

cos2Θ = 1 - 2sin²Θ

cos²Θ = 1 - sin²Θ

then

tanΘ × sinΘ × cosΘ + cos2Θ

= [tex]\frac{sin0}{cos0}[/tex] × sinΘ × cosΘ + 1 - 2sin²Θ ( cancel cosΘ on numerator/ denominator )

= sinΘ × sinΘ + 1 - 2sin²Θ

= 1 - sin²Θ

= cos²Θ

Answer:

[tex]\cos^2(\theta)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Trig identities used:

[tex]\cos(2\theta)=\cos^2(\theta)-\sin^2(\theta)[/tex]

[tex]\tan(\theta)=\dfrac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\tan(\theta)\times\sin(\theta)\times\cos(\theta)+\cos(2\theta)[/tex]

perpendicular means number next to the x (slope or m) becomes a negative reciprocal

then use point slope formula

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 6 = -5/2 (x - 3)

y - 6 = -5/2x + 15/2

B: C is the midpoint of AD, BC ≅ EC, and Vertical angles are congruent.

C: I assume you cannot use CPCTC so AAS and ASA.

Step-by-step explanation:

A: Since vertical angles are congruent, the interior angles using point C of the triangles are congruent. If C is the midpoint of BE, BC ≅ EC. Draw the congruent parts based on the 3 statements with tick marks and you will see that you have two pairs of congruent angles with an included pair of congruent sides, so ASA applies.

B: If C is the midpoint of AD, AC ≅ DC. Since vertical angles are congruent, the interior angles using point C of the triangles are congruent. Draw the congruent parts based on the 3 statements with tick marks and you will see that you have two pairs of congruent sides with an included pair of congruent angles, so SAS applies.

C: ∠B ≅∠E and ∠A ≅∠D since these are pairs of alternate interior angles. Since vertical angles are congruent, the interior angles using point C of the triangles are congruent and it is given that AB ≅ DE. When making the appropriate marks, you will see that only AAS and ASA can be used without CPCTC.
