Describe the steps you would use to solve the
following inequality
2x - 3
Answer: No answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Not an inequality, inequalities are of the form 2x - 3 > something.
If it's 2x - 3 > 0 for example, then add both sides by 3 to get 2x > 3, then div by 2 to get x > 3/2.

What is the volume of a cone with a height of 27 cm
and a radius of 13 cm? Round your answer to the
nearest tenth.
V=
Answer: V=4778.4 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]V=\pi r^2\frac{h}{3}[/tex] is the formula for volume. Since we are given the height and radius, we can directly plug it into the equation
[tex]V=\pi (13)^2(\frac{27}{3})[/tex]
[tex]V=169\pi (9)[/tex]
[tex]V=1521\pi[/tex]

Design and complete a frequency table for Belinda.
Belinda ask 20 people, how many hours of TV did you watch last week?
Here is the results
3,17,4,4,6,11,14,14,1,20,9,8,9,6,12,7,8,13,13,9.
Belinda wants to show these result in a frequency table.
She will use 4 equal groups.
The first group will start with 1 hour and the last group will end with 20 hours.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since she will use 4 groups or class intervals, the the class width would be 20/4 = 5 hours
The class groups would be
1 to 5
5 to 10
10 to 15
15 to 20
The class mark for each class is the average of the minimum and maximum value of each class. Therefore, the class marks are
(1 + 5)/2 = 3
(5 + 10)/2 = 7.5
(10 + 15)/2 = 12.5
(15 + 20)/2 = 17.5
The frequency table would be
Class group Frequency
1 - 5 4
5 - 10 8
10 - 15 6
15 - 20 2
The total frequency is 4 + 8 + 6 + 2 = 20
A typical classroom is a rectangle with dimensions of 20 feet wide by 25 feet long, and the area needed for each person in the room is approximately 28 square feet, what fraction of the total area in a classroom is needed for each person? What is the largest number of people that would fit in an average sized classroom while practicing good social distancing?
Answer:
A fraction of 0.056 of the classroom is needed for each student.
A typical classroom can acomodate up to 17 persons while practicing good social distancing.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a classroom that is a recatngle with dimensions of 20 feet wide by 25 feet long.
The total area of the classroom is:
[tex]A=w\cdot l=20\cdot25=500[/tex]
As the area of the classromm is 500 square feet and we need 28 square feet for each student, the fraction that is needed for each student is:
[tex]f=\dfrac{A_{\text{student}}}{A_{\text{classroom}}}=\dfrac{28}{500}=0.056[/tex]
A fraction of 0.056 of the classroom is needed for each student.
The largest number of students that would fit in an average sized classroom while practicing good social distancing can be calculated dividing the area of the classroom by the area needed for each student. This is equal to the inverse of the fraction calculated previously:
[tex]n=\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{0.056}\approx17.86[/tex]
A typical classroom can acomodate up to 17 persons while practicing good social distancing.

Step-by-step explanation:
Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 15 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. How fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 12 ft high? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
0.13 ft/min
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=15ft^3/min[/tex]
We have to find the increasing rate of change of height of pile when the pile is 12 ft high.
Let d be the diameter of pile
Height of pile=h
d=h
Radius of pile,r=[tex]\frac{d}{2}=\frac{h}{2}[/tex]
Volume of pile=[tex]\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h=\frac{1}{12}\pi h^3[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{4}\pi h^2\frac{dh}{dt}[/tex]
h=12 ft
Substitute the values
[tex]15=\frac{1}{4}\pi(12)^2\frac{dh}{dt}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{15\times 4}{\pi(12)^2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dh}{dt}=0.13ft/min[/tex]

A high school student took two college entrance exams, scoring 1070 on the SAT and 25 on the ACT. Suppose that SAT scores have a mean of 950 and a standard deviation of 155 while the ACT scores have a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of 4. Assuming the performance on both tests follows a normal distribution, determine which test the student did better on.
Answer:
Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use 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.
Determine which test the student did better on.
He did better on whichever test he had the higher z-score.
SAT:
Scored 1070, so [tex]X = 1070[/tex]
SAT scores have a mean of 950 and a standard deviation of 155. This means that [tex]\mu = 950, \sigma = 155[/tex].
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{1070 - 950}{155}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.77[/tex]
ACT:
Scored 25, so [tex]X = 25[/tex]
ACT scores have a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of 4. This means that [tex]\mu = 22, \sigma = 4[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{25 - 22}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.75[/tex]
Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.
Define a function sinc(x) (pronounced "sink of x") by: text(sinc)(x)={(sin(x)/x text(if)\ x != 0, 1 text(if)\ x = 0.) (This function is used frequently in electrical engineering and signal processing.) Use this list of Basic Taylor Series to find the Taylor Series for f(x) = sinc(x) based at 0. Give your answer using summation notation and give the largest open interval on which the series converges. (If you need to enter [infinity] , use the [infinity] button in CalcPad or type "infinity" in all lower-case.)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the Taylor series of sinc(x) we will use the taylor series of sin(x). We have that
[tex]\sin(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}[/tex]
which is the taylor series expansion based at 0. Then for [tex]x\neq 0[/tex], by dividing both sidex by x, we have that
[tex]\text{sinc}(x) = \frac{\sin(x)}{x}= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n}}{(2n+1)!}[/tex]
which is the taylor series expansion for the sinc function. Since the series of sine converges for every value of x. Then the taylor series of sinc converges for every value of x, but 0.

Tacoma's population in 2000 was about 200 thousand, and has been growing by about 8% each year. If this continues, what will Tacoma's population be in 2013?
Answer: The population will be 408,000 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
So in 2000 there were 200,000 people and it started to grow 8% every year so up to 2013.
so find 8% of 200,000 and then multiply it by the the number of years.
8% * 200,000 = 16,000
Find the difference between the years.
2013 - 2000 = 13 years
13 * 16000 = 208000 This is the amount of new people from 2000 to 2013 so add it to the original population.
208,000 + 200,000 = 408,000

FIND P(NOT 6) WHEN YOU ROLL A STANDARD NUMBER CUBE THEN DESCRIBE THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE EVENT WRITE IMPOSSIBLE ,UNLIKELY , EQUALLY LIKELY , LIKLEY OR CERAIN
Answer: LIKLEY
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula : Probability [tex]=\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}[/tex]
A standard cube has six numbers on it (1,2,3,4,5 and 6).
P( NOT 6) =[tex]\dfrac{\text{Numbers that are not 6}}{\text{Total numbers}}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{5}{6}=0.8333[/tex]
We know that when the probability of any event lies between 0.5 and 1then the event is said to be likely to happen.
Since , P(not 6)=0.8333 which lies between 0 and 0.5.
That means, it is likely to happen.
Note :
When probability of having A = 0 , we call A as uncertain event.
When probability of having A = 1 , we call A as certain event.
When probability of having A = 0.5 , we call A as equally likely event.
When probability of having A lies between 0 and 0.5 , we call A as unlikely event.
When probability of having A lies between 0.5 and 1 , we call A as likely event.

A study was conducted to determine if the salaries of librarians from two neighboring cities were equal. A sample of 15 librarians from each city was randomly selected. The mean from the first city was $28,900 with a standard deviation of $2300. The mean from the second city was $30,300 with a standard deviation of $2100. Construct a 95% confidence interval for u1 -u2.
a) (-4081, 597)
b) (-2054, 238)
c) (-2871, 567)
d) (-3125, 325)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining the confidence interval for the difference of two population means is expressed as
Confidence interval = (x1 - x2) ± z√(s²/n1 + s2²/n2)
Where
x1 = sample mean salary of city 1 librarians
x2 = sample mean salary of city 2 librarians
s1 = sample standard deviation for city 1
s2 = sample standard deviation for city 2
n1 = number of soles for city 1
n1 = number of soles for city 2
For a 95% confidence interval, we would determine the z score from the t distribution table because the number of samples are small
Degree of freedom =
(n1 - 1) + (n2 - 1) = (15 - 1) + (15 - 1) = 28
z = 2.048
x1 - x2 = 28,900 - 30,300 = - 1400
Margin of error = 2.048√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2) = 2.036√(2300²/15 + 2100²/15)
= 1647
The upper boundary for the confidence interval is
- 1400 + 1647 = 247
The lower boundary for the confidence interval is
- 1400 - 1647 = - 3047
A team of researchers published an article on the study of how vehicles are dispatched based on an airport-based taxi service. The researchers modeled this system with an underlying assumption that travel times of successive trips to and from the terminal are independent exponentially distributed random variables with β = 15 minutes. (a) Find the mean and standard deviation of trip time distribution (b) How likely is it for a particular trip to take more than 25 minutes? (c) If two taxis are dispatched together, what is the probability that both of them will be gone for more than 25 minutes? (d) what is the likelihood of at least of one of the taxis returning within 25?
Answer:
a. The mean would be 0.067
The standard deviation would be 0.285
b. Would be of 1-e∧-375
c. The probability that both of them will be gone for more than 25 minutes is 1-e∧-187.5
d. The likelihood of at least of one of the taxis returning within 25 is 1-e∧-375
Step-by-step explanation:
a. According to the given data the mean and the standard deviation would be as follows:
mean=1/β=1/15=0.0666=0.067
standard deviation=√1/15=√0.067=0.285
b. To calculate How likely is it for a particular trip to take more than 25 minutes we would calculate the following:
p(x>25)=1-p(x≤25)
since f(x)=p(x≤x)=1-e∧-βx
p(x>25)=1-p(x≤25)=1-e∧-15x25=1-e∧-375
c. p(x>25/2)=1-p(x≤25/2)=1-e∧-15x25/2=1-e∧-187.5
d. p(x≥25)=1-e∧-15x25=1-e∧-375

b. P(X≤75)P(X≤75).
c. P(X>50)P(X>50).
d. P(X<100)P(X<100).
Answer:
a. P(X=50)= 0.36
b. P(X≤75) = 0.9
c. P(X>50)= 0.48
d. P(X<100) = 0.9
Step-by-step explanation:
The given data is
x 25 50 75 100 Total
P(x) 0.16 0.36 0.38 0.10 1.00
Where X is the variable and P(X) = probabililty of that variable.
From the above
a. P(X=50)= 0.36
We add the probabilities of the variable below and equal to 75
b. P(X≤75) = 0.16+ 0.36+ 0.38= 0.9
We find the probability of the variable greater than 50 and add it.
c. P(X>50)= 0.38+0.10= 0.48
It can be calculated in two ways. One is to subtract the probability of 100 from total probability of 1. And the other is to add the probabilities of all the variables less than 100 . Both would give the same answer.
d. P(X<100)= 1- P(X=100)= 1-0.1= 0.9
A physical fitness association is including the mile run in its secondary-school fitness test. The time for this event for boys in secondary school is known to possess a normal distribution with a mean of 460 seconds and a standard deviation of 40 seconds. Find the probability that a randomly selected boy in secondary school can run the mile in less than 368 seconds.
Answer:
The probability that a randomly selected boy in secondary school can run the mile in less than 368 seconds is P(X<368)=0.011.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a normal distribution with mean 460 and standard deviation 40 to describe the time for the mile run in its secondary-school fitness test.
We have to calculate the probabiltiy that a randomly selected boy in secondary school can run the mile in less than 368 seconds.
To calculate this, we have to calculate the z-score for X=368:
[tex]z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{368-460}{40}=\dfrac{-92}{40}=-2.3[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the probability:
[tex]P(X<368)=P(z<-2.3)=0.011[/tex]
Consider the following dice game, as played at a certain gambling casino: players 1 and 2 roll a pair of dice in turn. the bank then rolls the dice to determine the outcome according to the following rule: player i,i=1,2, wins if his roll is strictly
Ii={1 if i wins, 0 otherwise}
and show that I1 and I2 are positively correlated. Explain why this result was to be expected.
Answer:
they are positively correlated.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can calculate the individal expectations first. FIrst player will win if that player's roll is greater than the bank's roll. There are (6 possible rolls of player 1 * 6 possible rolls of bank =) 36 total possible rolls, out of which player 1 will win in 15 cases.
[tex]\therefore E(I_i) = 1\cdot \frac{15}{36} + 0 \cdot \frac{21}{36} = \frac{5}{12} \approx 0.4167[/tex]
For the joint expectation, there are (6 possible rolls of player 1 * 6 possible rolls of player 2 * 6 possible rolls of bank =) 216 total possible rolls.
Cases where both players win: Expectation = $2.
If bank rolls 1, both players will win in 5*5 = 25 cases. P1 is one of {2,3,4,5,6}, P2 is one of {2,3,4,5,6}
If bank rolls 2, both players will win in 4*4 = 16 cases.
If bank rolls 3, both players will win in 3*3 = 9 cases.
If bank rolls 4, both players will win in 2*2 = 4 cases.
If bank rolls 5, both players will win in 1*1 = 1 cases.
If bank rolls 6, both players will win in 0*0 = 0 cases.
Total cases = 25+16+9+4+1+0 = 55 cases.
Cases where player 1 wins $1 and player 2 loses: Expectation = $1.
If bank rolls 1, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 5*1 = 5 cases. P1 is one of {2,3,4,5,6}, P2 is {1}
If bank rolls 2, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 4*2 = 8 cases.
If bank rolls 3, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 3*3 = 9 cases.
If bank rolls 4, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 2*4 = 8 cases.
If bank rolls 5, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 1*5 = 5 cases.
If bank rolls 6, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 0*6 = 0 cases.
Total cases = 5+8+9+8+5+0 = 35
Cases where player 2 wins $1 and player 1 loses: Expectation = $1.
This is the same as above with player 1 and 2 exchanged.
Total cases = 35
Cases where both players lose: Expectation = $0.
If bank rolls 1, both players will lose in 1*1 = 1 cases. P1 is {1}, P2 is {1}
If bank rolls 2, both players will lose in 2*2 = 4 cases.
If bank rolls 3, both players will lose in 3*3 = 9 cases.
If bank rolls 4, both players will lose in 4*4 = 16 cases.
If bank rolls 5, both players will lose in 5*5 = 25 cases.
If bank rolls 6, both players will lose in 6*6 = 36 cases.
Total cases = 1+4+9+16+25+36 = 91 cases.
Total of all cases (we expect this to be 216 as mentioned above) = 55+35+35+91=216
So, joint expectation is:
[tex]E(I_1I_2) = \frac{2\cdot 55 +1\cdot 35+1\cdot 35+0\cdot 91}{216} = \frac{180}{216}= \frac{5}{6} \approx 0.8333[/tex]
So, the covariance is given by:
[tex]\texttt{Cov}(I_1I_2) =E(I_1I_2) -E(I_1)\cdot E(I_2)= \frac{5}{6}-\frac{5}{12}\cdot\frac{5}{12}=\frac{95}{144} \approx 0.6597[/tex]
As this is greater than 0 and closer to 1, they are positively correlated.
The reason why this result is expected is because the same bank roll is being used for both players. So, it is very likely that both players will win if the bank roll is 1 or even 2. Also, it is very likely that both players will lose if the bank roll is 6, 5, or even 4. This shows positive correlation between the events.
Assume that military aircraft use ejection seats designed for men weighing between 133.8 lb and 208.0 lb. If women’s weights are normally distributed with a mean of 172.6 lb and a standard deviation of 42.4 lb, what percentage of women have weights between the ejection seat’s weight limits (that is, 133.8 to 208.0 lb)? Enter your answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place (do not add a "%"); add a trailing zeros as needed. The percentage of women with weights between 133.8 and 208.0 lb is [EjectPct] percent.
Answer:
61.8
Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use 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, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 172.6, \sigma = 42.4[/tex]
What percentage of women have weights between the ejection seat’s weight limits (that is, 133.8 to 208.0 lb)?
We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 208 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 133.8 for the proportion. Then we multiply by 100 to find the percentage.
X = 208
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{208 - 172.6}{42.4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.835[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.835[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.798
X = 133.8
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{133.8 - 172.6}{42.4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.915[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.915[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.180
0.798 - 0.18 = 0.618
0.618*100 = 61.8%
Without the %, the answer is 61.8.
