1. (a) What does probability convey about an event's
occurrence? (b) What is the probability of a
random event based on?

Answers

Answer 1

a) In any given experiment or trial, there is a probability that either an event occurs or it does not. The probability of the occurrence of an event lies between 0 and 1.

The event E of a sample space S is said to have occurred if the outcome ω of the experiment is such that ω ∈ E. However if the outcome ω is such that, ω ∉ E we say that the event has not occurred.

Let us take the example of playing cards. Here the event E is drawing a face card. If you draw a king of spades, we say the event E has occurred. However, if you draw an eight of clubs, we say the event E has not occurred.

b)  The probability of an event is equal to the events relative frequency in the population of possible events that can occur.

An event’s relative frequency is a number between 0 and 1, so the event’s probability is from 0 to 1.

For example, when someone says that the probability it raining today is high, you understand that they mean that there is a high chance that it will rain.

But what if someone says that the probability of something happening is very low? You understand that the person means that the event may not occur at all. In mathematics, we define probability in a similar sense.

What is Probability?

Probability is the measure of uncertainty of any event (any phenomenon happened or bound to happen).

What is event?

In probability, the set of outcomes from an experiment is known as an Event.

What is random events?

An event with a probability of occurrence determined by some probability distribution.

the cost of a taxi ride consist of a flat fee plus a cost per mile. if 30 miles cost $20 and 50 miles cost $30, write a linear function that describes the cost of a trip, c, in terms of the number of miles, n. what is the cost per mile and what is the flat fee?

Answers

A linear function that describes the cost of a trip, c, in terms of the number of miles, n will be "c=0.60n+0.67n" and cost per mile is $0.6 and $0.67 and the flat fee is $50.

What is cost per mile?

Once you are aware of your mileage and total expenses, calculating cost per mile becomes a straightforward equation. Your cost per mile is calculated by dividing your total expenses by the total number of miles you have driven. Your expenses per mile are influenced by your variable and fixed costs, so you should probably pay closer attention to how much you're shelling out for each mile your drivers cover. You can better understand your primary costs and produce more accurate bids for new contracts by knowing your expenses at this specific level.

Here,

cost per mile,

20/30=$0.67/mile

30/50=$0.60/mile

c=0.60n+0.67n

flat fee,

=$30+$20

=$50

The cost per mile is $0.6 and $0.67, and the flat rate is $50. A linear function that expresses the cost of a trip, c, in terms of the number of miles, n, will be "c=0.60n+0.67n".

Find the distance from the point 4(2-1) to the liney=-x+4. Round your answer to the nearest fenth.

Answers

Answer:

2.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Discussion

The answer is given in the graph I've made for you. The distance you want is a contained in a line that is perpendicular to the given line and goes through (2,-1). If I have not interpreted this correctly please leave a comment under the question and I will edit it. I have ignored the 4.

The steps needed are

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to y = - x + 4Find the intersection point on y = - x + 4 and the new line.Use the distance formula to find the distance from (2,-1) to the intersection point found in the second step

Givens

line y = -x + 4

point (2,-1)

Solution

The slope of the second line is

m1 * m2 = - 1

m1=  -1                From the given equation

m2 = ?

-1 * m2 = - 1

m2 = 1

Find the equation of the new line

x = 2

y = - 1 from the given point

-1 = 2 + b             Subtract 2 from both sides

-1 - 2 = 2-2 + b    Combine

-3 = b

Equation of the new line

y = x - 3

Intersection point of the two lines

y = -x + 4

y = x - 3              Add The xs cancel

2y = 1                  Divide by 2

y = 1/2

1/2 = -x + 4          Subtract 4 from both sides

1/2 - 4 = -x + 4 -4 Combine        

-3 1/2  = -x            Multiply both sides by - 1

3 1/2 = x

So the intersection point is (3.5, 0.5)

Find the distance between (2,-1) and (3.5,0.5)

d = sqrt( (2 - 3.5)^2 + (-1 - 0.5)^2 )

d = sqrt( (-1.5)^2 + (-1.5)^2 )

d = ( 1..5 * sqrt(2) )

d = 2.12

A swimming pool is to be constructed in a 1,176-ft2 backyard. there is to be a fence that will surround a 14-by-28-foot pool. the pool builder wants to build a concrete paver deck of a uniform width, x, surrounding the pool and filling the entire area of the backyard. what is the width of the pool deck? 7 ft 14 ft 28 ft 56 ft

Answers

The width of pool deck is 7 ft and new dimensions of pool and deck are 21 ft and 35 ft .

In the given question we have,

Area of whole background ( pool + deck) = 1176 ft²------(1)

Area is a two dimensions quantity . so, we work here in 2-D.

length of pool = 28 ft , width of pool= 14 ft

let the width of deck be x ft . Now, the new dimensions are following

length of pool and deck = 28 + x + x = (28+2x ) ft

width of pool and deck = 14 + x + x = (14+ 2x) ft

here, 2x include in lenth and width for surronding deck.

total area of pool and deck ( backyard ) = lenth × width = 1176 ft² ( from (1) )

(28+2x) ( 14+2x) = 1176 ----(2)

Now, we shall solve above equation (2) and find out value of x

28×14 + 56x + 28x + 4x^2 = 1176

=> 4x²+ 84x + 392 - 1176 = 0

=> 4x² + 84x - 784=0 => x² + 21x - 196 = 0

=> x²+ 28x - 7x - 196 = 0 => x(x+ 28) - 7(x+28)=0

=> (x+28) (x-7) = 0

either x + 28= 0 or x - 7 = 0 =>either x= -28 or x= 7

but width can't be negative value so, discard

x= -28.

Hence, the width of pool deck is 7 ft.

(1 point) the radius of a right circular cone is increasing at a rate of 5 inches per second and its height is decreasing at a rate of 3 inches per second. at what rate is the volume of the cone changing when the radius is 20 inches and the height is 40 inches?

Answers

The rate of change of volume is 418.6  inch³/s .

Rate of increase of radius with time is ( dr/dt ) = 5

rate of decrease of height with time is (dh/dt ) = -3

volume of a cone is given by (V) =  [tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h[/tex]

Now the rate of change of volume  with respect to time is given by dV/dt

∴ dV/dt = d( [tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h[/tex]) / dt

dV/dt =  [tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi (2rh\frac{dr}{dt} + r^{2}\frac{dh}{dt} )[/tex]

value of radius and height when volume is changing are :

r = 20 inches

h = 40 inches

dV/dt = [tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi ([/tex] 2×20×40 ×5 - [tex]20^{2}[/tex]×3 )

dV/dt = [tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi[/tex](1600 - 1200)

on a particular stretch of highway, the state police know that the average speed is 62 mph with a standard deviation of 5 mph. on a busy holiday weekend, the police are concerned that people travel too fast. so they randomly monitor speeds of a sample of 50 cars and record an average speed of 66 mph. let's assume, for the moment, that people travel at the same speed on holiday weekends as they typically do on other days. calculate the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means for samples of size n

Answers

The probability of a sample of 50 cars recording an average speed of 66 mph or higher is 0.

What is a standard deviation?

Data dispersion in regard to the mean is quantified by a standard deviation. Data are said to be more closely grouped around the mean when the standard deviation is low and more dispersed when the standard deviation is high.

Here, we have

µ = 62 , σ = 5

P ( X < 66 )

By applying the standard deviation formula, we get

Z = ( X - µ ) / (σ/√(n)

Z = ( 66 - 62 ) / ( 5 / √50 )

Z = 5.6569

P (  ( X - µ ) / ( σ/√(n)) < ( 66 - 62 ) / ( 5 / √(50) )

P ( X < 66 ) =  P ( Z < 5.66 )

P ( X < 66 ) = 1

P ( X > 66 )  = 1 - P ( X < 66 )

By applying the standard deviation formula, we get

Z = ( X - µ ) / ( σ / √(n))

Z = ( 66 - 62 ) / ( 5 / √ ( 50 ) )

Z = 5.6569

P (  ( X - µ ) / ( σ / √ (n)) > ( 66 - 62 ) / ( 5 / √(50) )

P ( Z > 5.66 )

P ( X > 66 )  = 1 - P ( Z < 5.66 )

P ( X> 66 )  = 1 - 1

P ( X> 66 )  =  0

Hence, the probability of a sample of 50 cars recording an average speed of 66 mph or higher is 0.

The values of the interior angles, ( Angle A, Angle B and Angle C) of the triangles are 48°, 88° and 44° respectively.

What is interior angle?

Interior angle is the inner of the two angles formed where two sides of a polygon come together.

To find the measure of each interior angle of the triangle in the diagram, first, we need to find the value of x.

Recall that: The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.

Using the formula,

a+b+c = 180°............. Equation 1

From the triangle,

a = 48°b = x°c = (x-44)°

Substitute these values into equation 1

48+x+(x-44) = 180

Solve for x

2x+4 = 1802x = 180-42x = 176x = 176/2x = 88°

Therefore,

Angle A = 48°Angle B = 88°Angle C = (88-44) = 44°

This means that the distance between x and a is equal to b.

So if we want to write an equation where the distance between x and 5 is equal to 5, then we can replace:

By measuring the orbital period and orbital radius of a moon about a planet, Newton's laws of motion can be used to determine the mass of the planet. Phobos, a moon of the planet Mars, was discovered in 1877. It's orbital radius is 9380 km and its orbital period is 0.319 days (2.77 x 104 seconds). Determine the mass of Mars based on this data. which of the following occurrences describes how recombination between linked genes comes about? group of answer choices independent assortment sometimes fails. nonrecombinant chromosomes break and then rejoin with one another. linked genes travel together at anaphase. crossovers between these genes result in chromosomal exchange. need help with this asap first answer will get brainliest 10 mL of a 20% (w/v) solution of a drug is added to 500 mL of dextrose 5% in water.
