Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 0.6579

(b) 0.2961

(c) 0.3108

(d) 240

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X can be defined as the number of particles in a suspension.

The concentration of particles in a suspension is 50 per ml.

Then in 5 mL volume of the suspension the number of particles will be,

5 × 50 = 250.

The random variable X thus follows a Poisson distribution with parameter, λ = 250.

The Poisson distribution with parameter λ, can be approximated by the Normal distribution, when λ is large say λ > 10.  

The mean of the approximated distribution of X is:

μ = λ  = 250

The standard deviation of the approximated distribution of X is:

σ = √λ  = √250 = 15.8114

Thus, [tex]X\sim N(250, 250)[/tex]

(a)

Compute the probability that the number of particles withdrawn will be between 235 and 265 as follows:

[tex]P(235<X<265)=P(\frac{235-250}{15.8114}<\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{265-250}{15.8114})[/tex]

                             [tex]=P(-0.95<Z<0.95)\\=P(Z<0.95)-P(Z<-0.95)\\=P(Z<0.95)-[1-P(Z<0.95)]\\=2P(Z<0.95)-1\\=(2\times 0.82894)-1\\=0.65788\\\approx 0.6579[/tex]

Thus, the value of P (235 < X < 265) = 0.6579.

(b)

Compute the probability that the average number of particles per mL in the withdrawn sample is between 48 and 52 as follows:

[tex]P(48<\bar X<52)=P(\frac{48-50}{15.8114/\sqrt{5}}<\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}<\frac{52-50}{15.8114/\sqrt{5}})[/tex]

                             [tex]=P(-0.28<Z<0.28)\\=P(Z<0.28)-P(Z<-0.28)\\=P(Z<0.28)-[1-P(Z<0.28)]\\=2P(Z<0.28)-1\\=(2\times 0.64803)-1\\=0.29606\\\approx 0.2961[/tex]

Thus, the value of [tex]P(48<\bar X<52)=0.2961[/tex].

(c)

A 10 mL sample is withdrawn.

Compute the probability that the average number of particles per mL in the withdrawn sample is between 48 and 52 as follows:

[tex]P(48<\bar X<52)=P(\frac{48-50}{15.8114/\sqrt{10}}<\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}<\frac{52-50}{15.8114/\sqrt{10}})[/tex]

                             [tex]=P(-0.40<Z<0.40)\\=P(Z<0.40)-P(Z<-0.40)\\=P(Z<0.40)-[1-P(Z<0.40)]\\=2P(Z<0.40)-1\\=(2\times 0.65542)-1\\=0.31084\\\approx 0.3108[/tex]

Thus, the value of [tex]P(48<\bar X<52)=0.3108[/tex].

(d)

Let the sample size be n.

[tex]P(48<\bar X<52)=P(\frac{48-50}{15.8114/\sqrt{n}}<\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}<\frac{52-50}{15.8114/\sqrt{n}})[/tex]

                             [tex]0.95=P(-z<Z<z)\\0.95=P(Z<z)-P(Z<-z)\\0.95=P(Z<z)-[1-P(Z<z)]\\0.95=2P(Z<z)-1\\P(Z<z)=\frac{1.95}{2}\\\\P(Z<z)=0.975[/tex]

The value of z for this probability is,

z = 1.96

Compute the value of n as follows:

[tex]z=\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}\\\\1.96=\frac{48-50}{15.8114/\sqrt{n}}\\\\n=[\frac{1.96\times 15.8114}{48-50}]^{2}\\\\n=240.1004\\\\n\approx 241[/tex]

Thus, the sample selected must be of size 240.

what are the measures of angles a,b,c ?

Answers

Answer:

a=30 ,  b=60,  c=105

Step-by-step explanation:

a=30 [Being vertically opposite angle]

Now,

      a+b+90=180 [Being the sum of interior angles of a triangle]

or, 30+b+90=180

or, b+120=180

or, b=180-120

so, b= 60

Again,

     c+75= 180 [Being linear pair]

or, c=180-75

so, c= 105

Bill hikes 8 miles in 3 hours. At this rate. how many miles will he hike after 2 hours?

Answers

Answer:

5 1/3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

8 miles      x miles

------------ = --------

3 hours         2 hours

Using cross products

8*2 = 3x

16 = 3x

Divide by 3

16/3 = 3x/3

5 1/3 miles =x

Answer: [tex]5 \frac{1}{3}[/tex] miles

For the rate of 8 miles in 3 hours, you divide.

For the rate of - miles in 2 hours, multiply.

8 x 2 = 3x

16 = 3x

Now, we have to divide by 3x by 3.

3x divided by 3 = 5 1/3

3x-29=6x-7 what is x

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to get x on one side and the constants on the other. First subtract both sides by 3x to get:

-29 = 3x - 7

Now add 7 to both sides to get:

-22 = 3x

Divide each side by 3 to get:

x = -22/3

3x-29=6x-7
-6. -6
-3x-29=-7
+29 +29
-3x=22
x=-22/3

Graph the image of the given triangle after the transformation that has the rule (x, y)→(x−5, y+6). Select the Polygon tool. Then, click the points of the triangle vertices to create the triangle by connecting the sides.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation involves changing the position of a shape in the coordinate.

See attachment for the image of the triangle

Assume the triangle is triangle ABC.

The coordinates of ABC are:

[tex]\mathbf{A = (-1,-4)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{B = (-2,-7)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{C = (5,-6)}[/tex]

The transformation rule is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{(x,y) \to (x -5,y+6)}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{A' = (-1 -5,-4+6)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A' = (-6,2)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{B' = (-2 -5,-7+6)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{B' = (-7,-1)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{C' = (5 -5,-6+6)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{C' = (0,0)}[/tex]

So, the coordinates of the new triangle would be:

[tex]\mathbf{A' = (-6,2)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{B' = (-7,-1)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{C' = (0,0)}[/tex]

The length of a rectangle is four more than three times it’s width. The perimeter is 64 inches

Answers

Answer:

Length: 25, Width: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be represented by w. We can then assume that the length is equivalent to 3w+4

So, we can set the equation 2(3w+4)+2(w). Simplify to 8w+8=64

Simplify the equation and solve for w, which is 7

Plug into the the length, which is 3w+4

Answer:

Length: 25 inches

Width: 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

Length: 3w + 4

Width: w

64 = 2(3w + 4) + 2w

64 = 6w + 8 + 2w

64 = 8w + 8

56 = 8w

w = 7

Length: 3(7) + 4 = 25

Width: 7

The value of y is directly PROPORTIONAL to the value of x. If y=44 when x= 240, what is the value of y when x=84?

Answers

Answer:    y = 15.4

If you need the answer in fraction form, then it would be 77/5

This is equivalent to the mixed number 15 & 2/5

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

Work Shown:

y = k*x ..... general direct proportion equation

44 = k*240 .... plug in x = 240 and y = 44

240k = 44

k = 44/240

k = 11/60 .... divide both parts by 4

y = k*x   .... go back to the general form

y = (11/60)x .... plug in the k value we found earlier

y = (11/60)*84 .... plug in x = 84

y = 15.4

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

Extra info:

15.4 = 15 + 0.4

15.4 = 15 + 4/10

15.4 = 15 + 2/5

15.4 = 15 & 2/5 .... mixed number form

and

15.4 = 15 + 2/5

15.4 = 75/5 + 2/5

15.4 = (75+2)/5

15.4 = 77/5 ... improper fraction

A. Width=9, Length=11
B. Width=6, Length=8
C. Width=4,Length=6
D. Width=3, Length=5

Answers

Answer:

width= 4, length= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

use perimeter formula and substitute values

so formula becomes:

20= 2(x+2) + 2(x)

expand the brackets and that gives us

20= 2x+4 +2x

so

16=4x

x= 4

Find the distance between the two numbers on a number line. Write your answer as a decimal.
-1.85 , 7.36

Answers

Answer:

9.21

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure you just add the two numbers as positive numbers :/

The required distance on the number line between the points -1.85 and 7.36 is 9.21.

Given that,
To determine the distance between the two numbers on a number line points are -1.85 and 7.36.

What is a number line?

A number line is defined as the number marked on the line calibrated into an equal number of units. For example -1, 0, 1, and so on.

Here,
On the number line, -1.85 lies on the left of the zero, and 7.36 lies on the right so the required distance would be the addition of the two points. So,
Distance = 7.36 - (-1.85)
Distance = 7.36 + 1.86
Distance = 9.21

Thus, the required distance on the number line between the points -1.85 and 7.36 is 9.21.

240 in a ratio of 3:5?

Answers

ANSWER: let the ratios are 3x and 5x
therefore,3x+5x=240
8x=240
x=30
so,3x=3×30=90
5x=5×30=150
so,we divide 240 in 90 and 150 to get ratio 3:5

The number who needs to be made into a ratio = 240

Total number of parts = 3 + 5

= 8 parts

Each part = 240 ÷ 8

= 30

Then three parts = 30 × 3 = 90

Five parts = 30 × 5 = 150

Then , the ratio will be = 90 : 150

Therefore , 240 in a ratio of 3 : 5 = 90 : 150 .
