Suppose we have a stick of length 1.a) We randomly uniformly choose a point and break the stick into two pieces.Find the expected length of the smaller piece.b) We randomly uniformly choose two points (independently) and break thestick into three pieces. Find the probability that the three resulting piecescan be arranged to form a triangle (i.e. all triangle inequalities are satisfied;i.e no piece is longer than the sum of the other two).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The smaller sticks will range in length from almost 0 unit up to a maximum of 0.5 unit, with each length equally possible.

Therefore, the average length will be about (0 + 0.5)/2 = 0.25 unit

2)If you assume that each break in the stick is uniformly distributed along the length of the stick and is independent of the location of the other break, then the odds are 25% that you will be able to form a triangle with the 3 pieces.

We'll call the length of the stick 1, so each break can occur at a position in the interval [0,1]. Let x and y represent the two breaks. Then we can look at the area of the region in the square bounded x=0, x=1, y=0, y=1, which represents combinations of x and y, for which we can form a triangle. Since the area of the whole square is 1, the area of the region inside is our probability.

If y>x, then the lengths of the pieces are x, y-x, and 1-y.

The triangle inequality must hold for each combination of edges.

for y>x ...

x+y−x≥1−y

x+1−y≥y−x

y−x+1−y≥x

these simplify to...

for y>x ...

y≥1/2

x+1/2≥y

x≤1/2

If we cut our 1x1 square into two triangles along the line x=y,

then the region in the upper triangle which satisfies the inequalities above forms a smaller triangle which connects the midpoints of the upper triangle.

The lower triangle (x>y), is just a reflection about x=y of the upper triangle, so together, the entire region looks like a bow-tie at a 45 degree angle.

This region takes up 25% of the square, so the probability that you can form a triangle is 25%

You are testing the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is larger than the proportion of women who own cats. You sample 170 men, and 70% own cats. You sample 190 women, and 40% own cats. Find the proportion of the pooled samples, ( p c pc ), as a decimal, rounded to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The proportion of the pooled samples is 0.54.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

70% of men own cats.

The proportion of men in the sample is:

[tex]\frac{170}{170+190} = 0.4722[/tex]

40% of women own cats.

The proportion of women in the sample is: 1 - 0.4722 = 0.5278

Proportion of the pooled samples

[tex]p = 0.7*0.4722 + 0.4*0.5278 = 0.54[/tex]

The proportion of the pooled samples is 0.54.

m∠OSP = 1/2(180° - m∠SOP) = 90° - 96°/2 = 42° (sum of interior angles of the triangle SOP)

m∠PST = 90° - m∠OSP = 90° - 42° = 48° (angle addition postulate)

Mark made a sandwich that was 5 inches long and 7 inches high. If he cuts
the sandwich in half, what would be the diagonal length of the sandwich?

Answers

Explanation

a sanwich which is most commonly a square, has the side lengths of 5 and 5.

cuting this in half will give you a 45-45-90 triangle

the legs will be measure of x, and the hypotonuse will be x[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

so the hypotonuse is  5[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

The diagonal length of the sandwich after it is cut in half is approximately 6.106 inches.

How to calculate the length

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the diagonal length as follows:

diagonal² = length² + height²

diagonal² = (5 inches)² + (3.5 inches)²

diagonal² = 37.25 inches²

Taking the square root of both sides, we find:

diagonal = √37.25 inches

Calculating the square root of 37.25, we get:

diagonal ≈ 6.106 inches

Therefore, the diagonal length of the sandwich after it is cut in half is approximately 6.106 inches.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - A.(112.86, 127.14)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

mean = $120

sd = $17.50

n = 40

Solution:

Confidence interval for a populationcan be express as mean +/- margin of error (E)

degree of freedom = n-1 = 40-1 = 39

confidence level (C) = 99% = 0.01

significance level = 1 - C = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99 = 99%

 by margin of error E = t×sd/√n = 2.58*17.50/√40

= 2.58*2.76

= 7.138 or 7.14

then the lower limit of mean = mean - E = 120 - 7.14 = $112.86

and, the upper limit of population mean = mean + E = 120 + 7.14 = $127.14

Total no of students in the school : 3200

No of sophomores in favor of the school forming a crew team : 38

No of the remaining students in favor of forming a crew team : 34

Total students in favor of forming a crew team = 38+34= 72

From the given number line, we have inequality as {x|x≤4.5}. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

What are inequalities?

Inequalities are the mathematical expressions in which both sides are not equal. In inequality, unlike in equations, we compare two values. The equal sign in between is replaced by less than (or less than or equal to), greater than (or greater than or equal to), or not equal to sign.

Inequalities on a number line allow us to visualize the values that are represented by an inequality. To represent inequalities on a number line we show the range of numbers by drawing a straight line and indicating the end points with either an open circle or a closed circle.

From the given number line, we have inequality as {x|x≤4.5}
