The driving distance for the top 100 golfers on the PGA tour is between 284.7 and 310.6 yards (according to GolfWeek). Assume that the driving distance for these golfers is uniformly distributed over this interval. a. Give a mathematical expression for the probability density function of driving distance. b. What is the probability the driving distance for one of these golfers is less than 290 yards

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) [tex]f(x) = \frac{1}{25.9}[/tex]

b) 0.2046 = 20.46% probability the driving distance for one of these golfers is less than 290 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.

The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

[tex]P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value above x is:

[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}[/tex]

The probability density function of the uniform distribution is:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{1}{b-a}[/tex]

The driving distance for the top 100 golfers on the PGA tour is between 284.7 and 310.6 yards.

This means that [tex]a = 284.7, b = 310.6[/tex].

a. Give a mathematical expression for the probability density function of driving distance.

[tex]f(x) = \frac{1}{b-a} = \frac{1}{310.6-284.7} = \frac{1}{25.9}[/tex]

b. What is the probability the driving distance for one of these golfers is less than 290 yards?

[tex]P(X < 290) = \frac{290 - 284.7}{310.6-284.7} = 0.2046[/tex]

0.2046 = 20.46% probability the driving distance for one of these golfers is less than 290 yards

Find the next two geometric terms 3/20, 1/5, 4/15,

Answers

Answer:

a_5 = 1,500

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Determine the given of the problem.  

       a_n – unknown sequence  

        a_1 – 3/20  

        r – ((3⁄2)/(3⁄20)) = 10  

        n – 5  

2. Substitute the given to the formula of the geometric sequence.  

           a_n = a_1 r^(n-1)

           a_5 = (3/20) (10)^(5-1)

3. Solve the given problem.  

           a_5 = (3/20) (10)^(5-1)       - Subtract the exponent.

In January 2013, a country's first-class mail rates increased to 52 cents for the first ounce, and 23 cents for each additional ounce. If Sabrina spent
$1742 for a total of 48 stamps of these two denominations, how many stamps of each denomination did she buy?
She bought
of the 52 cent stamps and
of the 23 cent stamps.

Answers

Answer:

She bought

22 of the 52 cent stamps and

26 of the 23 cent stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total stamp increase = 48

Let number of 52 cent stamp = x

Number of 23 cent stamp = 48 - x

The cost equation :

0.52*x + 0.23*(48-x) = 17.42

0.52x + 11.04 - 0.23x = 17.42

0.52x - 0.23x = 17.42 - 11.04

0.29x = 6.38

x = 6.38 / 0.29

x = 22

Hence,

She bought 22 ; 52-cent stamps

And (48 - 22) = 26, 23-cent stamps

what is the solution to the equation 9x+27=9( x+2) +9

Answers

Let's solve the equation:

9x + 27 =  9 ( x + 2 ) + 9 ← Distribute 9 to the x and 2

9x + 27 = 9x + 18 + 9 ← Combine like terms

9x + 27 = 9x + 27 ← Subtract 27 from both sides

9x = 9x

0 = 0  

{Infinitely many solutions would be correct because no matter what x is, it will always equal each other the both sides of the equation because it is 9 times x on both sides.}

hope this helps..........

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

9x+27=9(x+2)+9

9x+27=9x+18+9

9x+27=9x+27

A tosses one coin and B tosses two coins. The winner is the player who gets the most heads. In case of an equal number of heads A wins. (a) Compute the probability that B wins given that A gets 0 heads. (b) Compute the probability that B wins given that A gets 1 heads. (c) Compute the probability that B wins. (d) Change the game so that A tosses 2 coins and B tosses 3 coins. The winner is still the player who gets the most heads. In case of an equal number of heads A wins. Compute the probability that B wins in the new game.

Answers

Answer:

a) 3/4

b) 1/4

c) 1/2

d) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A tosses one coin while B tosses two coins

a) P( B wins given A gets 0 heads )

In this scenerio for B to win, he needs to get at least 1 head i.e.  P( B gets at least one heads)

  =  1 - P(B get no head)

  =  1 -  (1/2)^2  = 3/4

b) P( B wins given A gets 1 head )

For B to win when A gets 1  head means that B will have to get 2 heads

i.e. P( B gets 2 heads ) = P( one head )^2 = ( 1/2 )^2 = 1/4

c) P( B wins )

P ( B wins ) = P(A get 0 head and B gets at least one head) + P(A get 1 head and B get 2 head)

= ( 1/2 * 3/4 ) + ( 1/2 * 1/4 ) = 1/2

d) P ( B wins the new game )

Given that: A tosses two(2) coin while B tosses three(3) coins

P( B ) = P(A gets 0 head and B gets one head) +  P(A get 1 head and B get 2 or 3 heads )  +    P(A get 2 head and B gets 3 heads )

=[ (1/4 *(1 -1/8) ] +  (1/2 * 1/2)  +   ( 1/4 * 1/8 )= 1/2

A farmer wants to fence a rectangular area adjacent to a straight river with an extra partition running perpendicular to the river. If he has 3000 yards of fencing and no fencing is needed alone the river, then what is the maximum area he can enclose

Answers

Answer:

the maximum area enclosed = 1125000sq. ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let each side perpendicular to the river be "x".

Then the side parallel to the river is "3000-2x".

Now, area of the rectangle

A(x) = (3000-2x)x

A(x) = -2x^2+3000x

Which is a quadratic equation with a = -2 and b = 3000

Maximum area occurs where x = -b/2a

x = -3000/(-2×2) = 750 ft.

Therefore, width of rectangle x = 750 ft

Now, length = 3000-2(750) = 1500 ft.

Therefore, the maximum area enclosed = 1500×750 =  1125000 sq. ft.

Phineas puts $600 into a certificate of deposit that earns 3.09%. If the money is
compounded monthly, how much will it be worth in 4 years?

Answers

Answer:

$678.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Principal, P = $600

Rate = 3.09% = 0.0309

Period, t = 4 years

Compounding times per period, n = 12 (monthly)

The compound interest formula :

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

A = 600(1 + 0.0309/12)^(12*4)

A = 600(1 + 0.002575)^48

A = 600(1.002575)^48

A = 600 * 1.1313834

A = 678.83004

Last Monday local mall carriers delivered 1,344 pieces of mail. Of all the deliveries they made, 1/6 were magazines, 1/12 were packages, and the rest were letters. How many letters did the mail carriers deliver on Monday?

Answers

Answer:

1008 letters were delivered on Monday

Step-by-step explanation:

Total mail received = 1344

1/6 were magazines

1/12 were packages

the rest were letters

We have to find the exact number of magazines and packages received

Magazines = 1/6 of the total mail

Magazines = 1/6 × 1344

= 224 magazines

Packages = 1/12 of the total mail

Packages = 1/12 × 1344

= 112 packages

So now that we know the exact number of packages and magazines

We add those two numbers and subtract the result from the total mail

And the remainder is the letters delivered

Magazines = 224

Packages = 112

Magazines + Packages

224+112 = 336

Therefore, the letters received = 1344 - 336

= 1008

Which means that 1008 letters were delivered

Answer:

[tex]y =-x[/tex] ---- critical point

local minima

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x,y) = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy[/tex]

Required

Determine the critical point

Differentiate w.r.t x

[tex]f_x =2x + 2y[/tex]

Differentiate w.r.t y

[tex]f_y =2y + 2x[/tex]

Equate both to 0

[tex]2x + 2y =0[/tex]

[tex]2y =0-2x[/tex]

[tex]2y =-2x[/tex]

Divide by 2

[tex]y =-x[/tex] ----- in both equations

Hence:

The critical point is: [tex]y =-x[/tex]

Solving (b):

We have:

[tex]f_x =2x + 2y[/tex]

[tex]f_y =2y + 2x[/tex]

This is represented as:

[tex]D = \left[\begin{array}{cc}2&2\\2&2\end{array}\right][/tex]

What is area ?

Area is the measure of a region's size on a surface. The area of a plane region or plane area refers to the area of a shape or planar lamina, while surface area refers to the area of an open surface or the boundary of a three-dimensional object.

Here, we have,

given that,

The shape of a carpet is a semicircle.

from the given diagram, we get, the diameter = 14ft

now, we know that,

area of the semicircle = πr²/2

here, we have,

diameter = 14 ft

so, radius = 14/2 = 7 ft

so, area = π*7²

             = 153.94

a.) so, area of the semicircle = 76.97 ft^2

again,  

b) Janice wants to put a fringed border on all sides of the carpet,

so, the perimeter = π r + d

                            = 36ft

Hence, The solution is : a) area of the semicircle = 76.97 ft^2.

b) Janice wants to put a fringed border on all sides of the carpet : 36ft.
