A statistician predicts that the probability of a race car driver winning their next race is 9/10. What are the odds against them winning?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

90%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

9/10

is the same as

9÷10

Then using

Long Division for 9 divided by 10

gives us

0.9

Converting our number to a percentage:

0.9×100

=90%

(Note this isnt rounded up.)

8. A substance has a half life of 2.347 minutes.
a. If the initial amount of the substance was 110.4 grams, how many half-lives will have passed
before the substance decays to 6.9 grams.
b. What is the total time of the decay?

Answers

Answer:

a.) 4 half lives have passed

b) 9.388 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for exponential growth / decay is given as:

[tex]A=A_0b^{\frac{t}{c}}[/tex]

Where [tex]A[/tex] is the final population

[tex]A_0[/tex] is the initial population

[tex]b[/tex] is the growth factor

[tex]c[/tex] is the time taken for the growth 'b'

[tex]t[/tex] is the amount of time

Here, we are given that:

[tex]A[/tex] = 6. 9 grams

[tex]A_0[/tex] = 110.4 grams

[tex]b = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]c = 2.347[/tex] min

To find:

a.) Number of half lives taken for the decay.

b.) Total time in the decay.

Solution:

a.) Number of half lives taken for the decay is nothing but equal to [tex]\frac{t}{c}[/tex].

Putting the values in the formula, we get:

[tex]6.9=110.4\times \frac{1}2^{\frac{t}{c}}\\\Rightarrow 6.9=110.4\times 0.5^{\frac{t}{c}}\\\Rightarrow 0.0625=0.5^{\frac{t}{c}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t}{c} =4[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is:

4 half lives have passed.

b.) Total time of decay. We have to find the value of [tex]t[/tex] here.

From answer of part a.):

[tex]\dfrac{t}{c} =4\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t}{2.347} =4\\\Rightarrow t =\bold{9.388\ min}[/tex]

The area of the rectangle flower bed shown is
20.4 square meters. How many meters of edging are needed to go around the flower bed?

Answers

Answer:

I think 5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Take it and divide by the number of sides

The Perimeter of rectangle is 27.4 m

What is Area of rectangle?

The area of rectangle is product of its length to tis width.

So, Area of rectangle = length  x width

Given:

Area of the flower bed = 20.4 square meters.

length = 12 m

As a rectangle, its area be

A = l x w

20.4 = 12 w

w= 20.4/ 12

w= 1.7

Now, Perimeter of rectangle

= 2( l + w)

= 2( 12+ 1.7)

= 27.4 m

Hence, the Perimeter of rectangle is 27.4 m

(3) Differentiating both sides of

[tex]2x^{3/2} + y^{3/2} = 29[/tex]

with respect to x gives

[tex]3x^{1/2} + \dfrac32 y^{1/2} \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = 0[/tex]

Solve for dy/dx :

[tex]\dfrac32 y^{1/2} \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = -3x^{1/2} \\\\ \dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = \dfrac{-3x^{1/2}}{\frac32y^{1/2}} = \dfrac{-2x^{1/2}}{y^{1/2}} = -2\sqrt{\dfrac xy}[/tex]

Then the slope of the tangent line to the curve at (1, 9) is

[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = -2\sqrt{\dfrac19} = -\dfrac23[/tex]

The equation of the tangent line would then be

y - 9 = -2/3 (x - 1)   ==>   y = -2/3 x + 29/3

(4) The slope of the tangent line to

[tex]y=\dfrac{ax+1}{x-2}[/tex]

at a point (x, y) on the curve is

[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} = \dfrac{a(x-2)-(ax+1)}{(x-2)^2} = -\dfrac{2a+1}{(x-2)^2}[/tex]

When x = -1, we have a slope of 2/3, so

-(2a + 1)/(-1 - 2)² = 2/3

Solve for a :

-(2a + 1)/9 = 2/3

2a + 1 = -18/3 = -6

2a = -7

a = -7/2

The number of miles driven by a truck driver falls between 300 and 700, and follows a uniform distribution.
a. Find the probability that the truck driver goes more than 650 miles in a day.
b. Find the probability that the truck drivers goes between 400 and 650 miles in a day.
c. At least how many miles does the truck driver travel on the furthest 10% of days?

Answers

Answer:

(A) 0.125 probability

(B) 0.625 probability

(C) 660 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance driven by a truck driver daily, falls between 300miles and 700miles and follows a uniform distribution.

(A) The probability that the truck driver goes more than 650 miles a day is:

[700 - 650] / [700 - 300]  = 50/400  = 0.125

(B) The probability that the truck driver goes between 400 and 650 miles a day is:

[650 - 400] / [700 - 300]  = 250/400  = 0.625

(C) The minimum number of miles the truck driver travels on the furthest 10% of days is given thus:

10% of 400  = 40

Subtract this from the farthest distance;

700miles - 40miles  = 660miles

Which equation represents a line which is parallel to the line 2y-5x=-162y−5x=−16?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For two lines to be parallel to each other, they must have the same slope.

The standard form of expressing equation of a line is y = mx+c

m is the slope.

First let us get the slope of the given line

Given the line 2y-5x = -16

Rerwrite in standard form;

2y-5x = -16

2y = 5x-16

Divide through by 2;

2y/2 = 5x/2 -16/2

y = 5x/2 - 8

The slope of the line is 5/2

Since we are not given options, we can as well say that the equation of the line parallel to this line must have a slope of 5/2 no matter the intercept. Example of such line are;

y = 5/2 x + 2

originally had a standard deviation of 7.5. What would be the standard
deviation of the resulting data?
A. 2
B. 7.5
C. 9.5
O D. 5.5

Answers

Answer:

Option B. 7.5 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us define standard deviation first.

Standard deviation is the square root of variance. Standard Deviation tells us that how far are the values in a data set from the mean.

Now, if a constant is subtracted from all values of a dataset, the standard deviation remains the same. Only the origin or mean of the data changes by subtracting a constant from whole data set.

Given that the standard deviation of dataset is 7.5

Subtracting 2 from each value of dataset will not change the standard deviation as 2 is a constant.

Hence,

Option B. 7.5 is the correct answer

Answer:

7.5 it stays the same
