Construct the discrete probability distribution for the random variable described. Express the probabilities as simplified fractions. The number of tails in 5 tosses of a coin.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]P(X = 0) = 0.03125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = 0.15625[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = 0.3125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = 0.3125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = 0.15625[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = 0.03125[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For each toss, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is tails, or it is not. The probability of a toss resulting in tails is independent of any other toss, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Fair coin:

Equally as likely to be heads or tails, so [tex]p = 0.5[/tex]

5 tosses:

This means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]

Probability distribution:

Probability of each outcome, so:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.03125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.15625[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.3125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.3125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{5,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.15625[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.03125[/tex]

The head of maintenance at XYZ Rent-A-Car believes that the mean number of miles between services is 4959 miles, with a standard deviation of 448 miles. If he is correct, what is the probability that the mean of a sample of 43 cars would differ from the population mean by less than 111 miles

Answers

Answer:

0.8948 = 89.48% probability that the mean of a sample of 43 cars would differ from the population mean by less than 111 miles

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 mean number of miles between services is 4959 miles, with a standard deviation of 448 miles

This means that [tex]\mu = 4959, \sigma = 448[/tex]

Sample of 43:

This means that [tex]n = 43, s = \frac{448}{\sqrt{43}}[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean of a sample of 43 cars would differ from the population mean by less than 111 miles?

p-value of Z when X = 4959 + 111 = 5070 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 4959 - 111 = 4848, that is, probability the sample mean is between these two values.

X = 5070

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{5070 - 4959}{\frac{448}{\sqrt{43}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.62[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.62[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9474

X = 4848

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

[tex]Z = \frac{4848 - 4959}{\frac{448}{\sqrt{43}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.62[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.62[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0526

0.9474 - 0.0526 = 0.8948

0.8948 = 89.48% probability that the mean of a sample of 43 cars would differ from the population mean by less than 111 miles

The equation for the pH of a substance is pH = -log[H], where Ht iS the concentration of hydrogen ions. A basic
solution has a pH of 11.2. An acidic solution has a pH of 2.4. What is the approximate difference in the concentration
of hydrogen ions between the two solutions?

Answers

Answer:

The difference in the H⁺ concentration between the two solutions is approximately equal to the H⁺ concentration of the acidic solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH is given by:

[tex] pH = -log[H^{+}] [/tex]

Where:

[tex] [H^{+}][/tex]: is the concentration of hydrogen ions.

For the basic solution (pH = 11.2), the concentration of H⁺ is given by:

[tex] [H^{+}]_{b} = 10^{-pH} = 10^{-11.2} = 6.31 \cdot 10^{-12} [/tex]

And, for the acidic solution (pH = 2.4) we have:

[tex] [H^{+}]_{a} = 10^{-pH} = 10^{-2.4} = 3.98 \cdot 10^{-3} [/tex]

Hence, the difference in the concentration of H⁺ between the two solutions is:

[tex] \Delta H^{+} = [H^{+}]_{a} - [H^{+}]_{b} = 3.98 \cdot 10^{-3} - 6.31\cdot 10^{-12} = 3.98 \cdot 10^{-3} [/tex]

               

Therefore, the difference in the H⁺ concentration between the two solutions is approximately equal to the H⁺ concentration of the acidic solution.

Answer:

A = (0, 1)B = (3, -2)area = 4.5 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting the equations to make x the subject, we have ...

  x = y² -1 . . . . . [eq1]

  x = 1 - y . . . . . .[eq2]

At the points of intersection, the difference will be zero.

  y² -1 -(1 -y) = 0

  y² +y -2 = 0

  (y -1)(y +2) = 0

The y-coordinates of points A and B are 1 and -2.

The corresponding x-coordinates are ...

  x = 1 -{1, -2} = {1 -1, 1+2} = {0, 3}

Then A = (0, 1) and B = (3, -2).

__

A differential of area can be written ...

  (x2 -x1)dy = ((1 -y) -(y² -1))dy = (2 -y -y²)dy

Integrating this over the interval y = [-2, 1] gives the area.

  [tex]\displaystyle A=\int_{-2}^1(2-y-y^2)\,dy=\left.(2y-\dfrac{1}{2}y^2-\dfrac{1}{3}y^3)\right|_{-2}^1\\\\=\left(2-\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)-\left(2(-2)-\dfrac{(-2)^2}{2}-\dfrac{(-2)^3}{3}\right)=\dfrac{7}{6}+4+2-\dfrac{8}{3}\\\\=\boxed{4.5}[/tex]

The area of the shaded region is 4.5 square units.

Find the width of a photograph whose length is 24 inches and whose proportions
are the same as a photograph that is 3 inches wide by 4 inches long.

Answers

A photograph having length of 24 inches which is proportionate to another photograph having dimensions 3 × 4 inches, has width of 18 inches.

What is proportion?

In general, the term "proportion" refers to a part, share, or amount that is compared to a whole. According to the definition of proportion, two ratios are in proportion when they are equal.

Let the width of the photograph be x inches.

The length of the photograph is 24 inches.

A similar proportion photograph has width as 3 inches.

A similar proportion photograph has length as 4 inches.

The equation to find the width of photograph is -

x / 24 = 3 / 4

Simplify the equation -

x = (24 × 3) / 4

x = 72 / 4

x = 18

Therefore, the width value is 18 inches.

Use sigma notation to represent the sum of the first seven terms of the following sequence: −4, −6, −8, …

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\sum_{n = 1}^{7} -2 -2n[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference of consecutive terms is always the same, called common difference.

The nth term of a sequence is given by:

[tex]a_{n} = a_1 + (n-1)d[/tex]

In which [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term and d is the common difference.

Sigma notation to represent the sum of the first seven terms

Sum going from the index starting at 1 and finishing at 7, that is:

[tex]\sum_{n = 1}^{7} f(n)[/tex]

Now we have to fund the function, which is given by an arithmetic sequence.

−4, −6, −8,

First term -4, common difference - 6 - (-4) = -6 + 4 = -2, so [tex]a_1 = -4, d = -2[/tex]

Then

[tex]f(n) = a_{n} = a_1 + (n-1)d[/tex]

[tex]f(n) = -4 + (n-1)(-2)[/tex]

[tex]f(n) = -4 - 2n + 2 = -2 - 2n[/tex]

What is the slope of the line that passes through (17, −13) and (17, 8)?

(also can you try to explain ive been having trouble with these types of question)

Answers

Answer:

Slope is undefined. Line parallel to y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

By Analytic Geometry, we can determine the slope of a line by knowing two distinct lines and using the definition of secant line:

[tex]m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex](x_{1}, y_{1})[/tex] - Coordinates of the initial point.

[tex](x_{2}, y_{2})[/tex] - Coordinates of the final point.

[tex]m[/tex] - Slope.

If we know that [tex](x_{1}, y_{1}) = (17, -13)[/tex] and [tex](x_{2}, y_{2}) = (17, 8)[/tex], then the slope of the line is:

[tex]m = \frac{8-(-13)}{17-17}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{21}{0}[/tex]

The slope is undefined, which means that line is parallel to y-axis.

What is the depth of water in a tank with 300,000 gallons of water at 70F when the pressure gauge at the bottom of the tank reads 23 psig?​

Answers

Answer:

53.08 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The pressure at the bottom of the tank, P = ρgh where ρ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = depth of water in tank.

Since the pressure at the bottom of the tank, P = ρgh, making h subject of the formula, we have

h = P/ρg

Since P = 23 psig = 23 × 1 psig = 23 × 6894.76 Pa = 158579.48 Pa

Substituting the values of the other variables into h, we have

h = P/ρg

h = 158579.48 Pa/(1000 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s²)

h = 158579.48 Pa/(9800 kg/m²s²)

h = 16.18 m

h = 16.18 × 1 m

h = 16.18 × 3.28 ft

h = 53.08 ft
