Alice and Bob each choose a number uniformly (and independently) from the interval [0, 10]. What is the probability that the absolute value of the difference between their two numbers is less than 1/4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability is zero (0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

interval of numbers to be chosen = 0, 1, 2, 3 , 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 , 10

total possible outcome = 11

The possible numbers whose absolute difference is greater than ¹/₄ includes the following;

(0,1), (1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,5), (5,6), (6,7), (7,8), (8,9), (9,10), (10,0)

The probability of this = 11 / 11 = 1

The probability that the absolute value of the difference between their two numbers is less than 1/4

[tex]P(less \ than \ \frac{1}{4} ) = 1 - P(greater \ than \ \frac{1}{4} )\\\\P(less \ than \ \frac{1}{4} ) = 1 - 1 \\\\P(less \ than \ \frac{1}{4} ) = 0[/tex]

In an accelerated failure test, components are operated under extreme conditions so that a substantial number will fail in a rather short time. In such a test involving two types of microchips, 580 chips manufactured by an existing process were tested, and 125 of them failed. Then, 780 chips manufactured by a new process were tested, and 130 of them failed. Find a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of failures for chips manufactured by the two processes. (Round the final answers to four decimal places.) The 90% confidence interval is

Answers

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval is (0.0131, 0.0845).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before finding the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

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]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Old process:

125 out of 580, so:

[tex]p_O = \frac{125}{580} = 0.2155[/tex]

[tex]s_O = \sqrt{\frac{0.2155*0.7845}{580}} = 0.0171[/tex]

New process:

130 out of 780. So

[tex]p_N = \frac{130}{780} = 0.1667[/tex]

[tex]s_N = \sqrt{\frac{0.1667*0.8333}{780}} = 0.0133[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]p = p_O - p_N = 0.2155 - 0.1667 = 0.0488[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_O^2+s_N^2} = \sqrt{0.0171^2 + 0.0133^2} = 0.0217[/tex]

Confidence interval:

[tex]p \pm zs[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].

The lower bound of the interval is:

[tex]p - zs = 0.0488 - 1.645*0.0217 = 0.0131[/tex]

The upper bound of the interval is:

[tex]p + zs = 0.0488 + 1.645*0.0217 = 0.0845[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval is (0.0131, 0.0845).

1.) Three numbers form a geometric sequence whose common ratio is 0.5. If the first is reduced to 10 more than one quarter its value, the second decreased by 10, and the third increased by 10 more than twice its value, the resulting three numbers form an arithmetic sequence. Determine the original three numbers.

Answers

Let x be the first number in the sequence, so the first three numbers are

{x, 0.5x, 0.5²x}

Then

{x/4 + 10, 0.5x - 10, 2(0.5²x) + 10}

is arithmetic, so there is some constant c such that

0.5x - 10 = x/4 + 10 + c   ==>   x/2 - 10 = x/4 + 10 + c

2(0.5²x) + 10 = 0.5x - 10 + c   ==>   x/2 + 10 = x/2 - 10 + c

Solve the second equation for c :

x/2 + 10 = x/2 - 10 + c

c = 20

Substitute this into the first equation and solve for x :

x/2 - 10 = x/4 + 10 + 20

x/4 = 40

x = 160

Then the terms are

{160, 80, 40}

Answer:

(137.78, 47.72)

Step-by-step explanation:

(I just finished this assignment.)

Tre's position at the pitcher's mound as the point (42.78, 42.78).

                                                                                  (     x    ,    y     )

Hector is about 95 feet away from the pitcher's mound horizontal, (x axis).

Since we already have the correct y-coordinate, we need to solve for the correct x-coordinate.

  x = 95 + 42.78

         ↓ ↓ ↓

95 + 42.78 = 137.72

Now all you need to do is write out the coordinates.

Hector's coordinates are (137.72, 47.78 )

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = 3

d = -3

an = a1 + (n - 1)*d

an = a1 + (n - 1)*-3

Try it

Let n = 5

a5 = 3 + (5 - 1)*-3

a5 = 3 + 4*-3

a5 = 3 - 12

a5 = - 9 which is exactly what it should be.

The interesting one to try is n = 2

a2 = a1 + (2 - 1)*-3

a3 = 3  + 1(-3)

a3 = 3 - 3

a3 =0

Which is exactly what the second term is. It's interesting because you would never guess that 0 is what you get.

f(x) = 2x^2 + 6x + 2

Answers

Answer:

-3/2 ±1/2 sqrt(5) = x

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^2 + 6x + 2

Set the function equal to 0

0 = 2x^2 + 6x + 2

Factor out 2

0 = 2(x^2 + 3x + 1)

Divide by 2

0 = (x^2 + 3x + 1)

Subtract 1 from each side

-1 = x^2 +3x

Complete the square by dividing the x coefficient by 2 and then squaring

(3/2)^2 = 9/4

-1 +9/4 = x^2 +3x+9/4

-4/4+9/4 = (x+3/2) ^2

5/4 = (x+3/2) ^2

Taking the square root of each side

± sqrt(5/4) = sqrt( (x+3/2) ^2)

±1/2 sqrt(5) =  (x+3/2)

Subtract 3/2 from each side

-3/2 ±1/2 sqrt(5) = x

Eliminate y

multiply (1)by -1500

Using a directrix of y = 5 and a focus of (4, 1), what quadratic function is created?
HELP PLS

Answers

Answer:

(x-4)^2=-8(y-3)

This is a parabola.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the directrix is horizontal, the parabola faces up or down. Since the focus is below the directix it faces down. This means p will be negative in the equation (x-h)^2=4p(y-k).

p also tells us the half the distance between the focus and the directrix. The distance between 1 and 5 is 4, so p=-2.

The vertex is half way point between focus (4,1) and directrix y=5.

So the vertex is (4, [1+5]/2 )= (4 ,6/2)=(4,3). This is (h,k) in our equation.

(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)

(x-4)^2=4×-2(y-3)
