Answers
Answer:
0.0178
Step-by-step explanation:
For computation of probability that all fourteen bets lose first we need to find out the Probability of losing in 1 bet is shown below:-
Probability of losing in 1 bet = 1 - P(winning)
= 1 - 0.25
= 0.75
With the help of probability of losing in 1 bet we can find out the Probability of losing in 8 bets which is here below:-
= Probability of losing in 1 bet ^ Number of loosing bets
= 0.75 ^ 14
= 0.017817948
or
= 0.0178
Therefore for computing the probability that all fourteen bets lose we simply applied the above formula.

What is the equation of the line that passes through (5, -2) and (-3, 4)?
Answers
Answer:
y = (-3/4)x + 7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define general form of equation of line
An equation of a straight line on two-dimensional plane could be represented in form of: y = Mx + b, with M is slope and b is y-intercept
Step 2: Set up the system to solve for parameters of equation of line
(solve for M and b)
That equation passes 2 points, which are represented in form of (x, y), (5, -2) and (-3, 4).
Substitute these values of x and y into the original equation in step 1:
-2 = 5M + b
4 = -3M + b
Step 3: Solve the system of equations in step 2 for M and b
Subtract 1st equation from 2nd equation:
6 = -8M
=> M = -6/8 = -3/4
Substitute M back into 1st equation:
=> -2 = 5*(-3/4) + b
=> b = -2 + 15/4
=> b = 7/4
=> The equation of the line that passes through (5, -2) and (-3, 4):
y = (-3/4)x + 7/4

Answer:
Y= -4/3(x-7/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
So first calculate the difference between them,
changes by 8 x units, and -6 y units.
Then substitute them into y/x to find gradient
-6/8 = -4/3
so now we have a part of the equation:
Y= -4/3(x-a)
substitute Y= -2 and x=5 (from (5,-2))
-2= -4/3(5-a)
-2= -20/3+4a/3
Multiply by 3 on both sides
-6= -20+4a
add 20 on both sides
14=4a
a=7/2
use this as the value of a
Y= -4/3(x-7/2)
Fifty random shoppers at an electronics store have been interviewed and 35 of them intend to purchase a newly released smart phone. What probability distribution describes this situation and what are its mean and standard deviation of phone sales if we are concerned about 1071 shoppers that day
Answers
Answer:
We use the binomial distribution to describe this situation.
The mean number of phone sales is 749.7 with a standard deviation of 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each shopper, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they plan to purchase the newly released smart phone, or they do not. Each customer is independent of other customers. So we use the binomial distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Fifty random shoppers at an electronics store have been interviewed and 35 of them intend to purchase a newly released smart phone.
This means that [tex]p = \frac{35}{50} = 0.7[/tex]
What are its mean and standard deviation of phone sales if we are concerned about 1071 shoppers that day
1071 shoppers, so [tex]n = 1071[/tex]
Mean
[tex]E(X) = 1071*0.7 = 749.7[/tex]
Standard deviation
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{1071*0.7*0.3} = 15[/tex]
The mean number of phone sales is 749.7 with a standard deviation of 15.
Solve the system of equations by using substitution
Y=2x+3
Y=x+2
Answers
Since our first equation reads y = 2x + 3, we can substitute a 2x + 3
in for y in our second equation and then solve from there.
So we have 2x + 3 = x + 2.
Now subtract x from both sides to get x + 3 = 2.
Now subtract 3 from both sides to get x = -1.
To find y, plug -1 back into either equation.
I have chosen to plug it into the second.
So we have y = (-1) + 2 which simplifies to 1.
So our solution to this system is (-1, 1).

A recent survey found that 86% of employees plan to devote at least some work time to follow games during the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. A random sample of 100 employees was selected. What is the probability that less than 80% of this sample will devote work time to follow games?
Answers
Answer:
4.18% probability that less than 80% of this sample will devote work time to follow games
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal probability distribution
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.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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.
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
In this question, we have that:
[tex]p = 0.86, n = 100[/tex]
So
[tex]\mu = 0.86, s = \sqrt{\frac{0.86*0.14}{100}} = 0.0347[/tex]
What is the probability that less than 80% of this sample will devote work time to follow games?
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.8. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.8 - 0.86}{0.0347}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.73[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.73[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0418
4.18% probability that less than 80% of this sample will devote work time to follow games
The first digit in any number must be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 because we do not write numbers such as 15 as 015. While it is reasonable to think that for most real-life data each digit occurs with equal frequency so that each digit 1, 2, ..., 9 has probability 1/9 of being the first digit, this is not true. It is a surprising phenomenon that in many naturally occurring numbers and web-based data the first digit has a probability distribution known as Benford's law.
Benford's law, also called the first-digit law, states that in lists of numbers from many (but not all) real-life sources of data, the leading digit is distributed in a specific, non-uniform way.
Specifically, for d = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Benford's law states P(first digit is d) = log_10(1+(1/d)) . The distribution of the first digit according to Benford's law, calculated to 3 decimal places, is shown in the table below.
Benford's law
First Digit X 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Probability .301 .176 .125 .097 .079 .067 .058 .051 .046
Benford's Law and the Equally Likely Model benford equally likely
The law is named after physicist Frank Benford, who stated it in 1938, although it had been previously stated by Simon Newcomb in 1881. A surprising variety of data from the natural sciences, social affairs, and business obeys Benford's law.
This result has been found to apply to a wide variety of data sets, including electricity bills, street addresses, stock prices, population numbers, death rates, lengths of rivers, physical and mathematical constants, and processes described by power laws (which are very common in nature).
Numbers that are assigned, such as social security numbers and zip codes, or data with a fixed maximum, such as deductible contributions to individual retirement accounts, or randomly generated numbers, do not follow Benford's law.
The figure below shows how the distribution of the first digit of various naturally occurring and web-based data compares with Benford's law.

y(x) =
Answers
Answer:
The coefficients for the quadratic regression curve are
a = (-2/3) = -0.6667
b = (11/3) = 3.6667
c = 1 = 1.0000
y(x) = -0.6667x² + 3.6667x + 1.0000
Step-by-step explanation:
Quadratic regression curve gives a general expression of
y = ax² + bx + c
And the points on the curve include
(1, 4), (3, 6), (4, 5), (5, 2)
Taking the points one at a time and substituting them into general quadratic curve expression
(1, 4), x = 1, y = 4
y = ax² + bx + c
4 = a + b + c (eqn 1)
(3, 6), x = 3, y = 6
6 = a(3²) + b(3) + c
6 = 9a + 3b + c (eqn 2)
(4, 5), x = 4, y = 5
5 = a(4²) + b(4) + c
5 = 16a + 4b + c (eqn 3)
Combining the 3 equations and solving simultaneously
4 = a + b + c
6 = 9a + 3b + c
5 = 16a + 4b + c
From eqn 1, c = 4 - a - b
Substituting this into eqn 2 and 3, we have
6 = 9a + 3b + 4 - a - b
2 = 8a + 2b (*)
5 = 16a + 4b + 4 - a - b
1 = 15a + 3b (**)
8a + 2b = 2
15a + 3b = 1
a = (-2/3), b = (11/3)
c = 4 - a - b
c = 4 - (-2/3) - (11/3)
c = 1
Hence, the coefficients for the quadratic regression curve are
a = (-2/3) = -0.6667
b = (11/3) = 3.6667
c = 1 = 1.0000
y(x) = -0.6667x² + 3.6667x + 1.0000

Step 1: Identify the approach:
With this problem, the general solution is to try manipulate given data and transform data into a new form, in which, the desired value [tex](x + y)[/tex] is on the left side and all of other components which do not contain [tex]x[/tex] or [tex]y[/tex] are on the right side.
Step 2: Analyze:
[tex]9x + 2y^{2} - 3z^{2} = 132\\9y - 2y^{2} + 3z^{2} = 867[/tex]
Realize that in both equations, the [tex]2y^{2}[/tex] and [tex]3z^{2}[/tex] are in form of different signs. Then adding up corresponding sides of both equation can help eliminate these undesired components.
Step 3: Perform manipulation:
[tex]9x + 2y^{2} - 3z^{2} + 9y - 2y^{2} - 3z^{2} = 132 + 867[/tex]
Rearrange:
[tex](9x + 9y) + (2y^{2} - 2y^{2}) +(3z^{2} - 3z^{2}) = 132 + 867[/tex]
