A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and then it is replaced.
Another marble is taken at random.
What is the probability of exactly 1 red?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3 out of 12 chance i believe.

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll need to use casework, since the problem stipulates there needs to be exactly one red drawn. Because we're drawing two marbles, we can either draw a red one first or a red one second. With casework, we'll add the probability a red marble is drawn the first draw and the probability a red marble is drawn the second draw.

There are [tex]4+3+5=12[/tex] marbles total. The probability of drawing a red marble is equal to the number of red marbles (3) divided by the total number of marbles (12). Therefore, the probability of getting a marble on the first draw is [tex]3/12=1/4[/tex]. Since the marble is replaced, there are still 12 marbles, 4 blue, 3 red, and 5 green, for the second draw. We want to add the probability a red marble is drawn the first draw to the probability a red marble is drawn the second draw. Therefore, for the second draw, let's find the chances of not choosing a red marble. There is a [tex]9/12[/tex] chance that the marble chosen is not red. Therefore, the probably of this case happening is [tex]\frac{1}{4}\cdot \frac{9}{12}=\frac{9}{48}[/tex].

This case has the exact same probability as the other case, where a non-red marble is chosen the first draw and the red marble is now chosen the second draw ([tex]9/12[/tex] chance to choose a non-red marble and [tex]1/4[/tex] chance to choose a red marble).

Add these cases up:

[tex]\frac{9}{48}+\frac{9}{48}=\frac{18}{48}=\boxed{\frac{3}{8}}[/tex]

A particular variety of watermelon weighs on average 22.4 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.36 pounds. Consider the sample mean weight of 64 watermelons of this variety. Assume the individual watermelon weights are independent.

Required:
a. What is the expected value of the sample mean weight?
b. What is the standard deviation of the sample mean weight?
c. What is the approximate probability the sample mean weight will be less than 22.02?
d. What is the value c such that the approximate probability the sample mean will be less than c is 0.9?

Answers

Answer:

a) 22.4 pounds.

b) 0.17 pounds.

c) 0.0127 = 1.27% approximate probability the sample mean weight will be less than 22.02.

d) c = 22.62

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.

Average 22.4 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.36 pounds.

This means that [tex]\mu = 22.4, \sigma = 1.36[/tex]

Consider the sample mean weight of 64 watermelons of this variety.

This means that [tex]n = 64, s = \frac{1.36}{\sqrt{64}} = 0.17[/tex]

a. What is the expected value of the sample mean weight?

By the Central Limit Theorem, 22.4 pounds.

b. What is the standard deviation of the sample mean weight?

By the Central Limit Theorem, 0.17 pounds.

c. What is the approximate probability the sample mean weight will be less than 22.02?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 22.02. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{22.02 - 22.4}{0.17}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.235[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.235[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0127.

0.0127 = 1.27% approximate probability the sample mean weight will be less than 22.02.

d. What is the value c such that the approximate probability the sample mean will be less than c is 0.9?

This is the 90th percentile, that is, [tex]X = c[/tex] when z has a p-value of 0.9, so X when Z = 1.28.

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

[tex]1.28 = \frac{c - 22.4}{0.17}[/tex]

[tex]c - 22.4 = 1.28*0.17[/tex]

[tex]c = 22.62[/tex]

Answer:

D. x = -2y + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 8y = 16

Solve for x

Our objective here is to isolate x ( in other words we want to get x by itself ) using inverse operations.

So let's begin

4x + 8y = 16

First we want to get rid of 8y

Notice how 8y is being added to 4x

Well we can get rid of it by applying it's inverse operation. The opposite of addition is subtraction. So to get rid of 8y we would simply subtract 8y.

Important note! Whatever we do to one side we must do to the other

So we would subtract 8y from both sides

4x + 8y - 8y = 16 - 8y

The 8y on the left hand side cancels out and the 8y on the right side stays as it is as you can't subtract 8y from 16

We then have 4x = 16 - 8y

Next we want to get rid of 4 from 4x.

4x is the same as 4*x which is multiplication

The inverse of multiplication is division so to get rid of the 4 we divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = (16-8y)/4

4x/4 = x

16-8y/4 ( simply divide 16 by 4 and -8y by 4 )

16-8y/4 = 4 - 2y

We're left with x = 4 - 2y which can also be written as x = -2y + 4

Mr. Montes is writing a short, three-question, true or false quiz for his Algebra 2 classes. He had planned on using a random answer generator to determine which of true or false would be the correct answer for each quiz question, but his internet is not working. Instead, he writes each possible answer combination on a small slip of paper, folds each paper in half, and then places them in a box. Without looking, he draws one of the slips of paper.
Use what you know about counting methods and set operations to answer the following questions.
After grading the quizzes, Mr. Montes decides that his students could use some additional practice with the concepts tested. He writes a take-home assignment for his students. The assignment starts with two true or false questions and then has 3 multiple choice questions. The multiple choice questions each have 4 answer options, only 1 of which is correct. Luckily, Mr. Montes’ internet is working when he writes the quiz and he is able to use a random answer generator.
After grading the take-home assignments, Mr. Montes randomly selects 5 take-home assignments to analyze. He considers the student’s responses to the three multiple choice questions, which are as shown.
Student 1: Student 2: Student 3: Student 4: Student 5:
{C, A, C} {C, B, B} {C, B, C} {C, B, A} {C, A, A}
Amisha was too tired to work on the take home assignment Mr. Montes gave her, so she randomly selected answers without reading any of the questions. Suppose that you wanted to find the odds that Amisha answered at least 3 of the 5 questions correctly. Do you think you would use a permutation or a combination?
1. The correct responses for the multiple choice questions are, in order, C, B, and A. If Set 1 represents the subset of these students who answered C for number 1, Set 2 represents the subset of these students who answered B for number 2, and Set 3 represents the subset of students who answered A for number 3, find each of the following. Explain what each notation means in context of this scenario.
a. Set 1 ∩ Set 2
b. Set 2 ∪ Set 3
c. The complement of Set 1
2. Amisha was too tired to work on the take home assignment Mr. Montes gave her, so she randomly selected answers without reading any of the questions. Suppose that you wanted to find the odds that Amisha answered at least 3 of the 5 questions correctly. Do you think you would use a permutation or a combination?

Answers

Answer:

There are 4 questions to answer here and the answers are given below:

1. COMBINATION

2. SET 2  

3. {S2, S3, S4, S5}

4. { }  OR  ∅

Step-by-step explanation:

The key topics here are PERMUTATION & COMBINATION and SETS & VENN DIAGRAMS.

The assignment has 5 questions in all. The options for each question are listed below and separated by commas:

1. True, False

2. True, False

3. A, B, C, D

4. A, B, C, D

5. A, B, C, D

Mr. Montes derives his answers from a random answer generator; same way Amisha generated her answers by random selection.

QUESTION 1

If you want to find the odds that Amisha got at least 3/5 of the answers correctly, would you use a permutation or a combination?

ANSWER TO QUESTION 1

You would use a combination. Note that as much as 'permutation' is distinctly defined from 'combination', in many complex cases both are used to derive the solution. In this case though, a combination is used. For each of the 5 questions, there are a number of possible answers. Questions 1 and 2 have only two possible answers (also known as options) while questions 3, 4 and 5 have four possible answers/options to choose from. Amisha can only have one set of five answers; each to each question. So this is a combination! If you want to find the odds that Amisha got at least 3 of her 5 answers correct, you would use a combination of the various possible answers to check.

QUESTION 2

Find "Set 1 ∩ Set 2" and explain the notation in the sentence.

ANSWER TO QUESTION 2

First list out relevant information:

- The correct answers to questions 3, 4 and 5 are respectively C, B, A

- The universal set consists of five students: S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 hence

Ц = {S1, S2, S3, S4, S5}

Next, enlist the elements of each defined set

Set 1: {S1, S2, S3, S4, S5}     Set 2: {S2, S3, S4}     Set 3: {S4, S5}

Note: Set 1 is equal to the universal set.

Now this notation "∩" means "intersect". It requires an action - checking out which elements in one set also appear in a second set and then bringing those elements to form a new set.

In the case of this question, we're to find Set 1 intersect Set 2. The elements present in Set 1 and also present in Set 2 are {S2, S3, S4}.

If you look closely, you'll observe that these are the same elements in Set 2! This brings to remembrance, one of the laws of sets:

The intersect of any subset and the universal set (recall that Set 1 happens to be equal to or have the same elements as the universal set) is equal to that subset.

So the answer to question 2 is

Set 1 ∩ Set 2 = Set 2

QUESTION 3

Find "Set 2 ∪ Set 3" and explain the notation in the sentence.

ANSWER TO QUESTION 3

The notation ∪ represents "union". This is the act of putting together the elements in two sets, to form a new set. In this activity, if an element appears in both sets, it is only written once in the new set, not twice.

So, Set 2 union Set 3 = {S2, S3, S4, S5}

As earlier stated, Student 4 isn't appearing twice in the new set.

QUESTION 4

Find the ' of Set 1 and explain the notation in this sentence.

ANSWER TO QUESTION 4

The symbol ' means "complement of a set". Finding the complement of a set is like subtracting the elements of that set from the universal set.

Since Set 1 contains the same elements as the universal set, subtracting Set 1 from the universal set will give you nothing. In this case, the complement of Set 1 is a null set!

Set 1 ' Ц = { }  or  ∅

where the empty bracket symbol and the slashed zero symbol represent null set.

at a local college, four sections of economics are taught during the day and two sections are taught at night. 85 percent of the day sections are taught by full-time faculty. 30 percent of the evening sections are taught by full-time faculty. if jane has a part-time teacher for her economics course, what is the probability that she is taking a night class

Answers

Answer:

Hence The probability that she is taking a night​ class given that Jane has a​ part-time teacher = P(jane has a part-time teacher and she is taking night class )/P(jane has a part-time teacher)    = 0.6999.

Step-by-step explanation:  

Probability(full-time teacher/ day ) = 0.85  

Probability(part-time teacher/ day ) = 1- 0.85 = 0.15  

Probability(full-time teacher/ night) = 0.30  

Probability(part-time teacher/ night) = 1 - 0.30 = 0.70  

total no of section = 4+2 = 6  

P(jane has part time teacher) = P(jane is from day section)*Probability(part-time teacher/ day )+P(jane is from night section)*Probability(part-time teacher/ night)  

= (4/6)(0.15)+(2/6)(0.70) = 0.33  

P(jane has part time teacher and she is taking night class ) = P(jane is from night section)*Probability(part-time teacher/ night) = (2/6)(0.70) = 0.23  

According to Bayes theorem :    

The probability that she is taking a night​ class given that Jane has a​ part-time teacher = P(jane has a part-time teacher and she is taking night class )/P(jane has a part-time teacher)  

= 0.23/0.33  

= 0.6999

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of each of the equal piece of yarn. Since they are 4 equal pieces of yarn, then the total length of the equal pieces of yarn = 4x.

Also, besides cutting the 4 equal pieces of yarn Julie further cuts a yarn 7.75 inches long, therefore if y represent the total length of all the yarn that she ends up cutting, hence:

y = 4x + 7.75

Since the graph produced by this equation have all points connected to each other, hence this is a continuous graph.

Answer:

  a) 2.038 seconds

  b) 5.918 meters

  c) 1.076 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

For the purpose of answering these questions, it is convenient to put the given equation into vertex form.

  h = -4.9t² +9.2t +1.6

  = -4.9(t² -(9.2/4.9)t) +1.6

  = -4.9(t² -(9.2/4.9)t +(4.6/4.9)²) +1.6 +4.9(4.6/4.9)²

  = -4.9(t -46/49)² +290/49

__

a) To find h = 0, we solve ...

  0 = -4.9(t -46/49)² +290/49

  290/240.1 = (t -46/49)² . . . . subtract 290/49 and divide by -4.9

  √(2900/2401) +46/49 = t ≈ 2.0378 . . . . seconds

The ball takes about 2.038 seconds to fall to the ground.

__

b) The maximum height is the h value at the vertex of the function. It is the value of h when the squared term is zero:

  290/49 m ≈ 5.918 m

The maximum height of the ball is about 5.918 m.

__

c) We want to find t for h ≥ 4.5.

  h ≥ 4.5

  -4.9(t -46/49)² +290/49 ≥ 4.5

Subtracting 290/49 and dividing by -4.9, we have ...

  (t -46/49)² ≥ 695/2401

Taking the square root, and adding 46/49, we find the time interval to be ...

  -√(695/2401) +46/49 ≤ t ≤ √(695/2401) +46/49

The difference between the interval end points is the time above 4.5 meters. That difference is ...

  2√(695/2401) ≈ 1.076 . . . . seconds

The ball is at or above 4.5 meters for about 1.076 seconds.

Additional comment

I have a preference for "exact" answers where possible, so have used fractions, rather than their rounded decimal equivalents. The calculator I use deals with these fairly nicely. Unfortunately, the mess of numbers can tend to obscure the working.

"Vertex form" for a quadratic is ...

  y = a(x -h)² +k . . . .  where the vertex is (h, k) and 'a' is a vertical scale factor.

In the above, we have 'a' = -4.9, and (h, k) = (46/49, 290/49) ≈ (0.939, 5.918)

Answers

A circle has an equation of a form,

[tex](x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2[/tex]

Where [tex](a, b)[/tex] is the center and [tex]r[/tex] is the radius.

The coordinates of your circle center are [tex](a,b)=(-9,9)[/tex] and the radius is [tex]r=\sqrt{98}[/tex], so plug that in,

[tex](x-(-9))^2+(y-9)^2=\sqrt{98}^2[/tex]

and simplify to get the equation,

[tex](x+9)^2+(y-9)^2=98[/tex]

Hope this helps :)

If x = 1, y = 7, and z = 15, determine a number that when added to x, y, and z yields
consecutive terms of a geometric sequence. What are the first three terms in the
geometric sequence?

Answers

You're looking for a number w such that the numbers

{1 + w, 7 + w, 15 + w}

form a geometric sequence, which in turn means there is a constant r for which

7 + w = r (1 + w)

15 + w = r (7 + w)

Solving for r, we get

r = (7 + w) / (1 + w) = (15 + w) / (7 + w)

Solve this for w :

(7 + w)² = (15 + w) (1 + w)

49 + 14w + w ² = 15 + 16w + w ²

2w = 34

w = 17

Then the three terms in the sequence are

{18, 24, 32}

and indeed we have 24/18 = 4/3 and 32/24 = 4/3.
