Earthquakes are measured by the Richter scale and demonstrated by the formula R = log(A) where A measures the amplitude of the earthquake wave and A, is the amplitude of the smallest detectable wave (or standard wave). An earthquake is measured with a wave amplitude 1800 times as great as a standard wave. What is the magnitude of this earthquake using the Richter scale? Round to the nearest tenth.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3.22

Step-by-step explanation:

log(18×100)

log18+log100

1.22+2

3.22

Answer 2

The magnitude of this earthquake using the Richter scale is approximately 3.3 (rounded to the nearest tenth).

How to determine the magnitude of the earthquake

To calculate the magnitude of the earthquake using the Richter scale, we can use the formula

R = log(A/A₀),

where

A is the amplitude of the earthquake wave, and

A₀ is the amplitude of the standard wave.

If the earthquake wave's amplitude is 1800 times as great as the smallest detectable wave, this means A/A₀ = 1800.

Therefore, the magnitude of the earthquake (R) would be:

R = log(1800)

Let's calculate it:

R ≈ log₁₀(1800) ≈ 3.255

So, if we round this to the nearest tenth, the earthquake's magnitude on the Richter scale would be approximately 3.3.

Approximately 3.5% of all children born in a certain region are from multiple births (that is, twins, triplets, etc.). A random sample of 20 children born in the region will be selected. What is the probability that the sample will have exactly 3 children who are from multiple births

Answers

Answer: Approximately 0.026673

=======================================================

Explanation:

n = 20 is the sample size

p = 0.035 is the probability of selecting someone who is from multiple births (twins, triplets, etc)

Either someone is a twin/triplet/etc or they aren't. This two option nature is a strong implication we have a binomial probability.

The binomial probability formula is

B(x) = (n C x)*(p)^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where x is the number of successes and the n C x refers to the nCr combination formula.

We want to know the value of B(3), ie the value of B(x) when we have exactly x = 3 children from multiple births.

------------------

B(x) = (n C x)*(p)^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

B(3) = (20 C 3)*(0.035)^3*(1-0.035)^(20-3)

B(3) = (1140)*(0.035)^3*(0.965)^(17)

B(3) = 0.026673

There's roughly a 2.6673% chance of the 20 person sample having exactly 3 children who are from multiple births.

Side note: You can compute 20C3 = 1140 using the conventional nCr formula, or you can use Pascal's Triangle as an alternative route.

The graph is a horizontal line at y = 16.
The graph starts flat but curves steeply upward.
The graph is a parabola that opens upward.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is

C.) The graph starts flat but curves steeply upward.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explaining option C:

The quick leaps in y-coordinates indicate that it continues to travel higher up faster and faster while the x-coordinates proceed continuously.

The first choice is incorrect since the slope formula yields a value of 15 for the slope. The second choice is incorrect since it is impossible for it to be a horizontal line unless x = 0, which it is not because it equals 2. The last choice is incorrect because, rather of continuously increasing in size, a parabola function begins to decrease in size (the vertex would be visible in the function if this was a parabola.)

Therefore, Option C.) The graph starts flat but curves steeply upward is your answer.

Only one solution exists for the given equation.

What is meant by mathematical solution ?

A mathematical statement that demonstrates the equality of two mathematical expressions is a mathematical solution, which is the definition of an equation.

Here,

The mathematical equation given is,

0.75(x + 40) = 0.35(x + 20) + 0.35(x + 20)

By solving it,

0.75(x + 40) = 0.7(x + 20)

0.75x - 0.7x = 14 - 30

0.05x = -16

Therefore, the solution of x,

x = -16/0.05

x = 320

Answer:

Points A and B are not on the unit circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that a "unit circle" has a radius of 1, and so if x² + y² ≠ 1, the point is not on a unit circle.

In A we apply the Pythagorean Theorem as follows:  1² + 1² = 2 ≠ 1.

Therefore, point (1, 1) is not a point on the unit circle.

In B:  if we square the x and y components and add these squares together, we get 3/4 + 1/9, which does not equal 1.  Point not on unit circle.

In C, we get 4/9 and 5/9, which eqals 1.  This point C lies on the unit circle.

In D, we get 0.64 + 0.36 = 1, so this point does lie on the unit circle.

Thus:  not on unit circle:  A(1, 1), B(√3/2, 1/3)

On unit circle:  D(0.8, -0.6), C(-2/3, √5/3)
