On a particular game show, there are 8 covered buckets and 2 of them contain a ball.
To win the game, a contestant must select both buckets that contain a ball. Find the
probability that a contestant wins the game if he/she gets to select 4 of the buckets.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2143 = 21.43% probability that a contestant wins the game if he/she gets to select 4 of the buckets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The buckets are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of sucesses.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[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]

In this question:

8 covered buckets, so N = 8.

4 buckets are selected, so n = 4.

2 contain a ball, which means that k = 2.

Find the probability that a contestant wins the game if he/she gets to select 4 of the buckets.

This is P(X = 2). So

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = h(2,8,4,2) = \frac{C_{2,2}*C_{6,2}}{C_{8,2}} = 0.2143[/tex]

0.2143 = 21.43% probability that a contestant wins the game if he/she gets to select 4 of the buckets.

Use mathematical induction to prove the following statement:

The sum of the first n even positive integers is (n2 + n). That is, 2 4 6 8 .... 2n

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that the sum of the first n even +ve integers is:

[tex]\mathsf{2+4+6+8+ . . . +2n = n^2+ n }[/tex]

By using mathematical induction;

For n = 1, we get:

2n = 2 × 1 = 2

2 = 1² + 1 ----- (1)

∴ the outcome is true if n = 1

However, let assume that the result is also true for n = k

Now, [tex]\mathsf{2+4+6+8+. . .+2k = k^2 + k --- (2)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathsf{2+4+6+8+. . .+2k+2(k+1)}[/tex]

we can now say:

[tex]\mathsf{= (k^2 + k) + 2(k + 1)} \\ \\ \mathsf{= k^2 + k + 2k + 1}[/tex]

[tex]\mathsf{= (k^2 + 2k + 1) + (k + 1)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathsf{= (k + 1)^2 + (k + 1)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathsf{2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + . . . + 2k + 2(k + 1) = (k + 1)^2 + (k + 1)}[/tex]

Thus, the result is true for n = m+1, hence we can posit that the result is also true for each value of n.

As such [tex]\mathsf{2+4+6+8+. . .+2n = n^2 + n }[/tex]

By Observing the Above figure, we can conclude that the area of shaded region is equal to the Area of Square minus the sum areas of two equal semicircles (since their diameters are equal)

let's solve for area of square :

now, let's solve for their area

Answers

Answer:

The hypotenuse is twice the length of the shortest side so;

A could be the answer as when 5 is shortest and 10 is hypotenuse we get 5√3 for the other side which = 8.6

It cannot be B, C or D as the numbers cannot be 2 values same as hypotenuse (the longer length) as 5 + 5 = 10 and we cant use 4 lengths in one triangle and either of 3 out of 4 values do not show ratio of lowest side any value middle value = LV +√3 and hyp LV(2)

so A is the answer.

What is the probability that out of 125 babies born, at least 70 will be girls?
Assume that boys and girls are equally probable, and round your answer to
the nearest tenth of a percent.
O A. 70.4%
B. 10.5%
C. 51.2%
D. 99.0%

Answers

Answer:

Well just looking at the choices can lead you to the answer right away.

Well since the probability of boys and girls are equal, its 50/50. And since 125 in half well about is about 60-62 and the minimum amount of girls has to be 70. It can’t be higher then half and the choices remain to less then half not including 50%. So that eliminates all 3 choices except B.

The probability that out of 125 babies born, at least 70 will be girls is 10.5%. So, option B is correct.

What is meant by probability ?

Probability is defined as the chance for an event to occur. The value of probability is expressed from zero to one.

Here,

Let X be the number of girls born among the babies.

Let the number of babies born be n = 125

Let the probability of girls being born be P

Since, boys and girls are equally probable, P = 1/2 = 0.5

The probability that at least 70 girls will be born is P(X ≤ 70)

P(X ≤ 70) = P(70) + P(71) + P(72) + P(73) + P(74) +....P(125)

Applying the binomial probability equation,

P(X) = {n!/[X!(n - X)!} Pˣ (1 -P)ⁿ⁻ˣ

So,

P(70) = {125!/[70!(125-70)!]}x 0.5⁷x (1 - 0.5)⁵⁵

We get P(70) = 0.02913

Using cumulative probability function, we get the probability upto X=125.

By adding all the values, we get,

P(70) = 0.1051

Therefore probability that at least 70 girls are born = 0.1051 x 100 = 10.5%

Hence,

The probability that out of 125 babies born, at least 70 will be girls is 10.5%.

To find:

The correct statement for the domain and range of the given graph.

Solution:

Domain: The set of input values.

Range: The set of output value.

From the given graph it is clear that the graph represents a polynomial function.

The given graph of a polynomial function is defined for all real values of x. So, the domain is the set of all real numbers.

The graph of the function approaches from negative infinite to positive infinite. So, the output the given graph is set of all real numbers. It means the range is the set of all real numbers.

Therefore, the correct options are B and D.

The true statements are:

B. The range is the set of all real numbers.

D. The domain is the set of all real numbers.

From the figure, we can see that the graph extends in all directions without any end.

This means that, the graph of the function can take any real value as its input, and output

Is w = 8 a solution to the equation 5 + w = 58? Explain

Answers

No.

Since w = 8, you must replace the variable with the number associated to it.

So, it would be 5 + 8 = 58

5 + 8 is not equal to 58, it is equal to 13.

If you wanted to find out what w was, simply subtract 5 on both sides.

w = 58 - 5

A training field is formed by joining a rectangle and two semicircles, as shown below. The rectangle is 82 m long and 53m wide. What is the length of a training track running around the field? (Use the value 3.14 and do not round your answer. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.)

Answers

Answer:

436.42 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to determine the perimeter of the field

perimeter = perimeter of rectangle + perimeter of the two semicircles

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (length + breadth)

2 x (82 + 53) = 270m

Perimeter of a semicircle = 1/2πD

perimeter of the 2 semicircles = 2 x (1/2 x 3.14 x 53) = 166.42

Perimeter = 270 + 166.42 = 436.42 m

A marine biologist wanted to construct a t interval to estimate the mean weight of marine otters using 98% confidence. They took a random sample of n = 8 marine otters to measure their weights. These weights were roughly symmetric with a mean of 2 = 4.5 kg and a standard deviation of sx = 1.1 kg.What critical value t* should they use?

Answers

Answer:

CI 98 %  =  ( 3.332  ;  5.668 )

t(c)  =  2.9979

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval  CI  98 %   then  α  =  2 %   α  =  0,02    α/2  =  0.01

Sample information:

Sample size    n  =  8

sample mean     x  =  4.5

standard deviation of sample    s  =  1.1 kg

degree of freedom     df  =  n  -  1     df  =  8  -  1    df  =  7

With    α/2  0.01  and  df  =  7 from t-studente table we find   t(c)

t(c)  =  2.9979

CI 98 %  =  (   x  ±  t(c) * s/√n )

CI 98 %  =  (  4.5  ±  2.9979 *  1.1/ √8 )

CI 98 %  =  (  4.5  ±  3.2976/2.8228 )

CI 98 %  =  (  4.5  ± 1.168 )

CI 98 %  =  ( 3.332  ;  5.668 )
