3. Express the strength of a solution both as a ratio and as a percentage if
2 L of the solution contain 400 mg of solute.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1 : 5000

0.02%

Step-by-step explanation:

A solution = solute + solvent

A 2 Litre solution = (2 * 1000) = 2000 mg

Having, 400 mg of solute ;

Recall ;

1 mg = 0.001 ml

400 mg = (0.001 * 400) = 0.4 ml

The strength of the solution :

Amount of solute / Amount of solution

0.4 / 2000

As a ratio :

0.4 / 2000 = (0.4 * 10) / (2000*10) = 4 / 20000 = 1 / 5000 = 1 : 5000 (as a ratio)

0.4 / 2000

= 0.0002

(0.0002 * 100%) = 0.02% (As a percentage)

[tex]P(3) = ^9C_3 * 0.5^3 *0.5^6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

[tex]P(x = 3)[/tex]

The probability of getting a head is:

[tex]p = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]p = 0.5[/tex]

The distribution follows binomial probability, and it is calculated using:

[tex]P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(3) = ^9C_3 * 0.5^3 * (1 - 0.5)^{9-3}[/tex]

[tex]P(3) = ^9C_3 * 0.5^3 *0.5^6[/tex]

A city has a population of 350,000 peopleSuppose that each year the population grows by 7.75%What will the population be after 6 years Use the calculator provided and round your answer to the nearest whole number

Answers

Answer:

547737

Step-by-step explanation:

So first when know that the equation for exponentinal growth is f(x)=a(1+r)^x

Then you need to substitue so it would be f(x)=350,000(1+0.0775)^6

So then you would add the 1 and 0.0775 to equal 1.0775

So now its f(x)=350,000(1.0775)^6

So after that following PEMDAS, you would basically do 1.0775 to the power of 6 and get 1.56496155465

After you would do 1.56496155465 times 350,000 and that would be 547736.544129 and since its to the nearest whole number the answer would be 547737

A hotel manager calculates that 12% of the hotel rooms are booked. If the manager is right, what is the probability that the proportion of rooms booked in a sample of 556 rooms would be less than 10%?

Answers

Answer:

0.0735 = 7.35% probability that the proportion of rooms booked in a sample of 556 rooms would be less than 10%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

A hotel manager calculates that 12% of the hotel rooms are booked.

This means that [tex]p = 0.12[/tex]

Sample of 556 rooms

This means that [tex]n = 556[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.12[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.12*0.88}{556}} = 0.0138[/tex]

What is the probability that the proportion of rooms booked in a sample of 556 rooms would be less than 10%?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 0.1. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.1 - 0.12}{0.0138}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.45[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.45[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0735

0.0735 = 7.35% probability that the proportion of rooms booked in a sample of 556 rooms would be less than 10%.

A bag has 6695 blue marbles and 6696 red marbles. We repeatedly remove 2 marbles from the bag. If the two chosen marbles are of the same color then we put 1 new red marble in the bag (after removing the 2 chosen marbles). If the two marbles are of different colors then we put one new blue marble in the bag. What will be the color of the last marble in the bag

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  blue

Step-by-step explanation:

If two red marbles are removed, 1 red is returned. The number of reds is reduced by 1, and the number of blues is unchanged.

If two blue marbles are removed, 1 red is returned. The number of reds is increased by 1, and the number of blues is decreased by 2.

If one of each is removed, one blue is returned. The number of reds is reduced by 1, and the number of blues is unchanged.

So, at each step, the number of blue marbles is unchanged or reduced by 2. That is, it only changes by an even number. The number of blues is initially odd, so can never reach zero.

The last marble in the bag is blue.

What is the answer??

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AC = x

AB - AC = 4 cm

AB = 4 +x  ----------------(I)

Pythagorean theorem

AB² + AC² =BC²

(4 + x)² + x² = 9²

Use the identity (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² where a = 4 & b = x

4² +2*4*x  +x² + x²= 81

16 + 8x + 2x² = 81

2x² + 8x + 16 - 81 = 0

2x² + 8x - 65= 0

a = 2 ; b = 8 ; c = -65

D = b² - 4ac

   = 8² - 4*2*(-65)

  = 64 +  520

D = 584

√D = √584 = 24.16

[tex]x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{D}}{2a} \ or \ x =\frac{-b-\sqrt{D}}{2a}\\\\x= \frac{-8+24.16}{2*2} \ or \ x = \frac{-8-24.6}{2*2}[/tex]   {Ignore this as it is negative.}

x = 16.16/4

x = 4.04

AC = 4.04 Cm

AB = 4 + 4.04 = 8.04 cm

Area of triangle ABC = [tex]\frac{1}{2}* base * height[/tex]

                                   [tex]=\frac{1}{2}*4.04 *8.04\\\\= 2.02 * 8.04[/tex]

Is x-3 a factor of x- 9x² - 14x + 24?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you are concerned with the cubic

  x³ -9x² -14x +24

Its factors are all irrational, as shown in the attached graph. x-3 is not a factor.

__

x-3 is a factor if the expression evaluates to zero when x=3. Here, it does not.

  ((x -9)x -14)x +24 for x=3 is ...

  ((3 -9)(3) -14)(3) +24 = (-18 -14)(3) +24 = -96 +24 = -72

The remainder from division by x-3 is not zero, so x-3 is not a factor.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x^{3}cos(x^{2})=\sum _{n=0} ^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n}x^{4n+3}}{(2n)!}[/tex]

[tex]x^{3}sin(x^{2})=\sum _{n=0} ^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n}x^{4n+5}}{(2n+1)!}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A

Let's start with the first function:

[tex]x^{3}cos(x^{2})=x^{3}-\frac{x^{7}}{2!}+\frac{x^{11}}{4!}-\frac{x^{15}}{6!}+...[/tex]

In order to find the expression for the general term, we will need to analyze each part of the sum. First, notice that the sign of the terms of the sum will change with every new term, this tells us that the expression must contain a

[tex](-1)^{n}[/tex].

This will guarantee us that the terms will always change their signs so that will be the first part of our expression.

next, the power of the x. Notice the given sequence: 3, 7, 11, 15...

we can see this is an arithmetic sequence since the distance between each term is the same. There is a distance of 4 between each consecutive power, so this sequence can be found by adding a 4n to the original number, the 3. So the power is given by 4n+3.

so let's put the two things together:

[tex](-1)^{n}x^{4n+3}[/tex]

Finally the denominator, there is also a sequence there: 0!, 2!, 4!, 6!

This is also an arithmetic sequence, where we are multiplying each consecutive value of n by a 2, so in this case the sequence can be written as: (2n)!

So let's put it all together so we get:

[tex]\frac{(-1)^{n}x^{4n+3}}{(2n)!}[/tex]

So now we can build the whole series:

[tex]x^{3}cos(x^{2})=\sum _{n=0} ^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n}x^{4n+3}}{(2n)!}[/tex]

B

Now, let's continue with the next function:

[tex]x^{3}sin(x^{2})=x^{5}-\frac{x^{9}}{3!}+\frac{x^{13}}{5!}-\frac{x^{17}}{7!}+...[/tex]

In order to find the expression for the general term, we will need to analyze each part of the sum. First, notice that the sign of the terms of the sum will change with every new term, this tells us that the expression must contain a

[tex](-1)^{n}[/tex].

This will guarantee us that the terms will always change their signs so that will be the first part of our expression.

next, the power of the x. Notice the given sequence: 5, 9, 13, 17...

we can see this is an arithmetic sequence since the distance between each term is the same. There is a distance of 4 between each consecutive power, so this sequence can be found by adding a 4n to the original number, the 5. So the power is given by 4n+5.

so let's put the two things together:

[tex](-1)^{n}x^{4n+5}[/tex]

Finally the denominator, there is also a sequence there: 1!, 3!, 5!, 7!

This is also an arithmetic sequence, where we are multiplying each consecutive value of n by a 2 starting from a 1, so in this case the sequence can be written as: (2n+1)!

So let's put it all together so we get:

[tex]\frac{(-1)^{n}x^{4n+5}}{(2n+1)!}[/tex]

So now we can build the whole series:

[tex]x^{3}sin(x^{2})=\sum _{n=0} ^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n}x^{4n+5}}{(2n+1)!}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The answer is [tex]b=3, a=-2[/tex], and [tex]c=3[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system of equations, start by solving for (a) in the third equation.

To solve for (a) in the third equation, add [tex]3b[/tex] to both sides of the equation, which will look like [tex]2a=-13+3b\\-a+b-c=2\\2a+3b-4c=-7[/tex]. Next, divide each term in [tex]2a=-13+3b[/tex] by 2 and simplify, which will look like [tex]\frac{2a}{2}=\frac{-13}{2} +\frac{3b}{2} \\-a+b-c=2\\2a+3b-4c=-7[/tex]   =  [tex]a=\frac{-13}{2} +\frac{3b}{2} \\-a+b-c=2\\2a+3b-4c=-7[/tex].

Then, replace all variables of (a) with [tex]-\frac{13}{2} +\frac{3b}{2}[/tex] in each equation and simplify, which will look like [tex]-13+6b-4c=-7\\-\frac{2c-13+b}{2}=2\\a=-\frac{13}{2}+\frac{3b}{2}[/tex].

The next step is to reorder [tex]-\frac{13}{2}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{3b}{2}[/tex], which will look like [tex]\frac{3b}{2}-\frac{13}{2}\\-13+6b-4c=-7\\-\frac{2c-13+b}{2} =2[/tex].

Then, solve for (b) in the second equation. To solve for (b) in the second equation start by moving all terms not containing (b) to the right side of the equation, which will look like [tex]6b=6+4c\\a=\frac{3b}{2}-\frac{13}{2} \\-\frac{2c-13+b}{2} =2[/tex]. Next, divide each term in                ([tex]6b=6+4c[/tex]) and simplify, which will look like [tex]b=1+\frac{2c}{3} \\a=\frac{3b}{2} -\frac{13}{2\\}\\-\frac{2c-13+b}{2} =2[/tex].

Then, replace all variables of (b) with [tex]1+\frac{2c}{3}[/tex] in each equation and simplify, which will look like [tex]-\frac{2(2c-9)}{3}=2\\a=c-5\\b=1+\frac{2c}{3}[/tex].

The next step is to solve for (c) in the first equation. To solve for (c) in the first equation start by multiplying both sides of the equation by [tex]-\frac{3}{2}[/tex] and simplify, which will look like [tex]2c-9=-3\\a=c-5\\b=1+\frac{2c}{3}[/tex]. Then, move all terms not containing (c) to the right side of the equation, which will look like [tex]2c=6\\a=c-5\\b=1+\frac{2c}{3}[/tex]. Next, divide each term in [tex]2c=6[/tex] by 2 and simplify, which will look like [tex]c=3\\a=c-5\\b=1+\frac{2c}{3}[/tex].

Then, replace all variables of (c) with 3 in each equation and simplify, which will look like [tex]b=3\\a=-2\\c=3[/tex]. Finally, the list of all the solutions are [tex]b=3,a=-2[/tex], and [tex]c=3[/tex].

0.025 = 2.5% probability that a given class period runs between 51.25 and 51.5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}[/tex]

Uniformly distributed between 47.0 and 57.0 minutes.

This means that [tex]a = 47, b = 57[/tex]

Find the probability that a given class period runs between 51.25 and 51.5 minutes.

[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{51.5 - 51.25}{57 - 47} = 0.025[/tex]

0.025 = 2.5% probability that a given class period runs between 51.25 and 51.5 minutes.

Answer:

a) 0.6212 = 62.12% probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

b) 0.7416 = 74.16% probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

c) 0.8804 = 88.04% probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

d) None of them ensure, that one which comes closer is a sample size of 100 in option c), to guarantee, we need to keep increasing the sample size.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The CPA Practice Advisor reports that the mean preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns was $273. Use this price as the population mean and assume the population standard deviation of preparation fees is $100.

This means that [tex]\mu = 273, \sigma = 100[/tex]

A) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?

Sample of 30 means that [tex]n = 30, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}[/tex]

The probability is the p-value of Z when X = 273 + 16 = 289 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 273 - 16 = 257. So

X = 289

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.88[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.88[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8106

X = 257

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.88[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.88[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1894

0.8106 - 0.1894 = 0.6212

0.6212 = 62.12% probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

B) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?

Sample of 30 means that [tex]n = 50, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}[/tex]

X = 289

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.13[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.13[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8708

X = 257

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.13[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.13[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1292

0.8708 - 0.1292 = 0.7416

0.7416 = 74.16% probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

C) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?

Sample of 30 means that [tex]n = 100, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}[/tex]

X = 289

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.6[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.6[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9452

X = 257

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.6[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.6[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0648

0.9452 - 0.0648 =

0.8804 = 88.04% probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

D) Which, if any of the sample sizes in part (a), (b), and (c) would you recommend to ensure at least a .95 probability that the same mean is withing $16 of the population mean?

None of them ensure, that one which comes closer is a sample size of 100 in option c), to guarantee, we need to keep increasing the sample size.

C is actually 0.8904

for anybody else stuck on this wondering why cengage is telling you c is wrong
