The area of a hall is 806 sq. ft. Its length is 5 ft greater than its width. Find the dimensions of the hall. Enter the results in the answer box. Show work that leads to the final answer and clearly state the final answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

width is = 26ft

length is = 31ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of hall is 806 sq. ft.

length is 5 ft greater than its width.

L = 5+b

L*b = 806

(5+b)*b= 806

5b +b² = 806

B²+5B-806= 0

Solving quadratically

B² +31B -26B -806= 0

B(B+31)-26(B+31)= 0

(B-26)(B+31)= 0

B= 26 or -31

So the value of the width must be positive so the width is = 26ft

If width is 26, length is 26+5 = 31ft

Which is the vertex of x^2 + 10x = - 17?

Answers

Answer:

(-5, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Parabolas always have a lowest point (or a highest point, if the parabola is upside-down). This point, where the parabola changes direction, is called the "vertex". If the quadratic is written in the form y = a(x – h)2 + k, then the vertex is the point (h, k).

x^2 + 10x = - 17

x^2+10x+17=0

x^2+2*5x+25 - 8=0

(x+5)^2-8=0

h=-5, k= -8

vertex is (-5, -8)

Answers

Answer:

[tex] P(E) =0.25, P(F) = 0.40, P(E \cap F) =0.05[/tex]

[tex] P(E \cup F)= P(E) +P(F) -P(E \cap F)[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] P(E \cup F)=0.25 +0.40 -0.05 = 0.6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following probabilities given:

[tex] P(E) =0.25, P(F) = 0.40, P(E \cap F) =0.05[/tex]

And we want to find this probability:

[tex] P(E \cup F)[/tex]

And we can use the total probability rule given by:

[tex] P(E \cup F)= P(E) +P(F) -P(E \cap F)[/tex]

And replacing we got:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of aluminium strip = [tex]7 \frac{1}{7} cm[/tex]

Length of aluminium strip =[tex]\frac{50}{7} cm[/tex]

Breadth of aluminium strip =[tex]1 \frac{3}{7} cm[/tex]

When dots are printed from a laser printer to form letters, they must be close enough so that you do not see the individual dots of ink. To do this, the separation of the dots must be less than Raleigh's criterion of your eye at distances typical for reading Randomized Variables D 2.5 mm d-38 cm Take the pupil of the eye to be 2.5 mm in diameter and the distance from the paper to the eye as 38 cm. Find the minimum separation of two dots such that they cannot be resolved in cm. Assume a wavelength of 555 nm for visible light.

Answers

Answer:

The minimum separation is  [tex]z = 1.0292 *10^{-4} \ m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

    From the question we are told that

         The  reading randomized variable are [tex]D= 2.5 \ mm[/tex] and [tex]d = 38 \ cm[/tex]

          The diameter of the pupil is  [tex]d = 2.5 \ mm = \frac{2.5}{1000} = 0.0025 \ m[/tex]

            The distance from the paper is [tex]D = 38 \ cm = 0.38 \ m[/tex]

            The wavelength is  [tex]\lambda = 555 \ nm = 555 * 10 ^{-9} m[/tex]

Generally the Raleigh's equation for resolution is  

             [tex]\theta = 1.22 [\frac{\lambda}{D} ][/tex]

substituting values

               [tex]\theta = 1.22 * \frac{555*10^{-9}}{0.0025}[/tex]  

              [tex]\theta = 2.7084*10^{-4} \ rad[/tex]

The minimum separation of two dots is mathematically represented as

            [tex]z = \theta d[/tex]

substituting values

            [tex]z = 2.7084*10^{-4} * 0.38[/tex]

             [tex]z = 1.0292 *10^{-4} \ m[/tex]

If 20% of the people in a community use the emergency room at a hospital in one year, find

the following probability for a sample of 10 people.

a) At most three used the emergency room

b) Exactly three used the emergency room

c) At least five used the emergency room​

Answers

Answer:

a) 87.91% probability that at most three used the emergency room

b) 20.13% probability that exactly three used the emergency room.

c) 3.28% probability that at least five used the emergency room​

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they use the emergency room, or they do not. The probability of a person using the emergency room is independent of any other person. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

Sample of 10 people:

This means that [tex]n = 10[/tex]

20% of the people in a community use the emergency room at a hospital in one year

This means that [tex]p = 0.2[/tex]

a) At most three used the emergency room

[tex]P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{9} = 0.2684[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{8} = 0.3020[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{7} = 0.2013[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.1074 + 0.2684 + 0.3020 + 0.2013 = 0.8791[/tex]

87.91% probability that at most three used the emergency room

b) Exactly three used the emergency room

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{7} = 0.2013[/tex]

20.13% probability that exactly three used the emergency room.

c) At least five used the emergency room​

[tex]P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)[/tex]

From 0 to 3, we already have in a).

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.2)^{4}.(0.8)^{6} = 0.0881[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.1074 + 0.2684 + 0.3020 + 0.2013 + 0.0881 = 0.9672[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5) = 1 - 0.9672 = 0.0328[/tex]

3.28% probability that at least five used the emergency room​

Suppose that an outbreak of cholera follows severe flooding in an isolated town of 3662 people. Initially (Day 0), 36 people are infected. Every day after, 34% of those still healthy fall ill.


How many people will be infected by the end of day 9?

Answers

Answer:

3576 infected people

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to apply the following formula, which tells us the number of healthy people:

A = p * (1 - r / 100) ^ t

where,

p = initial population,

r = rate of change per period (days)

t = number of periods (days)

Now, we know that the initial population is 3,662 but there are already a total of 36 infected, therefore:

3662 - 36 = 3626

that would be our p, now, we replace:

A = 3626 * (1 - 34/100) ^ 9

A = 86.16

Therefore, those infected would be:

3662 - 86.16 = 3575.84

This means that there are a total of 3576 infected people.

6) True, a trapezium has at least 1 parallel side, and a parallelogram has 2.

7) I can't see where angle z is..., but x=42 and y= 96

Step-by-step explanation:

A rhombus has all sides of equal length, thus, if DC is 5, then all the other sides are also 5.

We see that AC is 6, and OC will be 3, or 6/2.

The pythagorean theorem shows that OD is 4, and BD is 8.

42+42=84

180-84=96

Answer:

5. BD = 8 cm

6. See explanation below.

7. x = 42; y = 96; z = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

5.

DC = 5 cm

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other, so since AC = 6 cm, OC = 3 cm.

The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other, so triangle DOC is a right triangle with right angle DOC.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(DO)^2 + (OC)^2 = (DC)^2

(DO)^2 + (3 cm)^2 = (5 cm)^2

(DO)^2 + 9 cm^2 = 25 cm^2

(DO)^2 = 16 cm^2

DO = 4 cm

Since BD = 2DO,

BD = 2(4 cm) = 8 cm

Answer: BD = 8 cm

There are different definitions of trapezium. In the U.S., trapezium is a quadrilateral, none of whose sides are parallel. According to the U.S. definition of trapezium, then, no parallelogram is a trapezium.

(c)The cost of repairing a pothole is $5000. If Y denotes the county’s pothole repair expense for next winter, find the mean value and variance Y?

Answers

Answer:

a) (iv) Poisson.

b) E(X)=V(X)=λ=4.8

c) E(Y)=24,000

V(Y)=120,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We can appropiately describe this random variable with a Poisson distribution, as the probability of having a pothole can be expressed as a constant rate per mile (0.16 potholes/mile) multiplied by the stretch that correspond to the county (30 miles).

The parameter of the Poisson distribution is then:

[tex]\lambda=0.16\cdot 30=4.8[/tex]

b) The expected value and variance of X are both equal to the parameter λ=4.8.

c) If we define Y as:

[tex]Y=5000X[/tex]

the expected value and variance of Y are:

[tex]E(Y)=E(5,000\cdot X)=5,000\cdot E(X)=5,000\cdot 4.8=24,000\\\\\\ V(Y)=V(5000\cdot X)=5000^2\cdot V(X)=25,000,000\cdot 4.8=120,000,000[/tex]

The proportion of items in a population that possess a specific attribute is known to be 0.40. If a simple random sample of size 100 is selected and the proportion of items in the sample that contain the attribute of interest is 0.46​, what is the sampling​ error?

Answers

Answer:

The sampling error =  0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Let represent [tex]\beta[/tex] to  be the population proportion = 0.4

The sample proportion be P = 0.46   &

The sample size be n = 100

The population standard duration can be expressed by the relation:

Population standard duration [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{\beta(1- \beta)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.4(1-0.4)}{100}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.4(0.6)}{100}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 0.049[/tex]

The sample proportion = 0.46

Then the sampling error  = P - [tex]\beta[/tex]

The sampling error  = 0.46 - 0.4

The sampling error =  0.06

B) 9500

C) 200

D) 0.325

E) 3088

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The population of this survey is the registered voters in the city of Raleigh.

B) Population size can be defined as the total number of individuals in a population. Here the total number of individuals are the registered voters in the city. Therefore the size of the population is 9500.

c) Sample size is defined as the number of individual samples in a statistical test. Here the sample size is the 200 randomly selected registered voters. It is denoted as "n".

d) The sample statistic for the proportion of voters surveyed who said they'd vote for Brown would be:

p' = voters for brown / sample size

[tex] p' = \frac{65}{200} = 0.325 [/tex]

The sample statistic for the proportion of voters surveyed who said they'd vote for Brown is 0.325

E) The expected number of voters for Brown based on the sample:

0.325 * 9500 = 3087.5

Approximately 3088

The expected number of voters for Brown based on the sample might be 3088 voters.

If the standard deviation of grades is 15, in what range would you expect 68.26 percent of the grades to fall? (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25. Hint: Think in terms of what the expected highest and lowest scores would be for 68.26% of the students taking the exam.)

Answers

Answer:

The range that you would expect 68.26 percent of the grades to fall is between 53 and 83.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

[tex]\mu = 68, \sigma = 15[/tex]

Middle 68.26% of the grades:

From the

50 - (68.26/2) = 15.87th percentile

To the

50 + (68.26/2) = 84.13rd percentile.

15.87th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1587. So X when Z = -1.

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

[tex]-1 = \frac{X - 68}{15}[/tex]

[tex]X - 68 = -1*15[/tex]

[tex]X = 53[/tex]

84.13rd percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8413. So X when Z = 1.

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

[tex]1 = \frac{X - 68}{15}[/tex]

[tex]X - 68 = 1*15[/tex]

[tex]X = 83[/tex]

The range that you would expect 68.26 percent of the grades to fall is between 53 and 83.

On her way to work, a commuter encounters four traffic signals. Assume that the distance between each of the four is sufficiently great that her probability of getting a green light at any intersection is independent of what happened at any previous intersection. The first two lights are green for forty seconds of each minute; the last two, for thirty seconds of each minute.What is the probability that the commuter has to stop at least three times?

Answers

Answer:

7 in 36 or 0.1944

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of having to stop at least three times is the probability of getting 3 or 4 red lights.

For the first two lights, the probability of getting them red is 20 in 60 (1/3).

For the last two lights, the probability of getting them red is 30 in 60 (1/2).

The probability of all of them being red is:

[tex]P(R=4) = \frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}\\P(R=4) =\frac{1}{36}=\frac{1}{36}[/tex]

The probability of three of them being red (3 red + 1 green) is:

[tex]P(R=3) = {(1-\frac{1}{3})*\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{2}}*\frac{1}{2}+(1-\frac{1}{3})*\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{3}*(1-\frac{1}{2})*\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{3}*(1-\frac{1}{2})*\frac{1}{2}\\P(R=3) =2*(\frac{2}{3}*\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2})+2*(\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2})\\ P(R=3) =\frac{4}{36}+\frac{2}{36}\\ P(R=3) =\frac{6}{36}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of at least three red lights is:

[tex]P=\frac{1}{36}+\frac{6}{36}=\frac{7}{36}\\ P=0.1944[/tex]

The probability is 7 in 36 or 0.1944.

The probability that the commuter has to stop at least three times is at least 5.55%.

Since on her way to work, a commuter encounters four traffic signals, assuming that the distance between each of the four is sufficiently great that her probability of getting a green light at any intersection is independent of what happened at any previous intersection, and the first two lights are green for forty seconds of each minute; the last two, for thirty seconds of each minute, to determine what is the probability that the commuter has to stop at least three times the following calculation must be performed:

4/6 = 2/3 = 0.66666  0.5 x 0.5 x 0.333 = 0.083333 0.5 x 0.333 x 0.333 = 0.055555

Therefore, the probability that the commuter has to stop at least three times is at least 5.55%.

5500 milliliters equal how many liters show work

Answers

Answer:

5.5 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

1 milliliter equals to 1/1000 part of a liter, which is 0.001 liter.

1 milliliter = 1 * 0.001 liter

So if you have 5500 milliliters that means it equals to 5500 times one milliliters and 1 milliliter = 1 * 0.001 liter, so for 5500 milliliters it is 5500 times as much

5500 * 0.001

5500 * 1/1000

5500 / 1000

5.5 liters

As long as you know this number 0.001 , then it is easily to calculate between liters and milliliters.

EXTRA:

To convert from amount A which is given in a certain quantity, to another quantity, you sometimes have to multiply and in other cases you need to divide by a certain factor. The factor defines the relationship between the quantities.

Suppose you have 1000 times 1 milliliter then you can find the amount in liters by multiplying that number of milliliters times 0.001.

It is easy to see that

1000 * 1/1000

1000 / 1000

= 1 liter, but that is easy, because I choose an easy number for the amount of milliliters to convert into liters. But it works exactly the same for any amount!

The best and correct answer is 5.5 liters because in my brain I calculate it already
