Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The probability that at least 2 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.1875 = 18.75%.

b) The probability that at most 4 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.96875 = 96.875%.

c) The probability that exactly 3 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.3125 = 31.25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each smoker, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they started smoking before 21 years old, or they did not. Smokers are independent, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [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]

And p is the probability of X happening.

50% of adult smokers started smoking before 21 years old.

This means that [tex]p = 0.5[/tex]

5 smokers 21 years old or older are randomly selected, and the number of smokers who started smoking before 21 is recorded.

This means that [tex]n = 5[/tex].

a) The probability that at least 2 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is

This is:

[tex]P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.03125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.15625[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.03125 + 0.15625 = 0.1875[/tex]

The probability that at least 2 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.1875 = 18.75%.

b) The probability that at most 4 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is

This is:

[tex]P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X = 5)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.03125[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X = 5) = 1 - 0.03125 = 0.96875[/tex]

The probability that at most 4 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.96875 = 96.875%.

c) The probability that exactly 3 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is

This is P(X = 3). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.3125[/tex]

The probability that exactly 3 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.3125 = 31.25%.

Which graph represents a proportional relationship? On a coordinate plane, a straight line with positive slope goes through points (0, 0), (1, 2), and (2, 4). On a coordinate plane, a vertical line is at x = negative 3. On a coordinate plane, a horizontal line is at y = 3. On a coordinate plane, a curved line goes through the origin.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

D. On a coordinate plane, a straight line with positive slope goes through points (3, 3) and (4, 4).

Explanation:

For a relationship to be proportional it needs to meet two conditions:

1) its graph needs to be a straight line

2) every point of the graph needs to satisty the equation y = k•x, or, in other words k has to be equal for every point

Now, let's check the answers;

A) we have two points: A (2, 6) and B (4, 5). For point A, x is 2 and y is 6, so:

y = k•x

6 = k•2

k = 3

For point B, x is 4 and y is 5, so:

y = k•x

5 = k•4

k= 5/4

Since k isn't the same value for these two points, this isn't proprtional relationship.

B) this graph is curve, so since it's not a straight line it can't be proportional relationship.

C) similarly to graph A we have point A (5, 2) and point B (6, 3).

For point A, x is 5 and y is 2, so:

y = k•x

2 = k•5

k = 2/5

For point B, x is 6 and y is 3, so:

y = k•x

3 = k•6

k = 1/2

Again values of k aren't the same, so this isn't a proportional relationship.

D) Point A (3, 3) and point B (4, 4). For point A, x is 3 and y is 3, so:

y = k•x

3 = k•3

k = 1

For point B, x is 4 and y is 4, so:

y = k•x

4 = k•4

k = 1

Since value of k is the same for both points, this graph shows the proportional relationship.

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

Explanations:

Problem 5)

Assuming HEFG is a parallelogram, this means the opposite sides are the same length.

EH = GF

x-3 = 4x-15

x-4x = -15+3

-3x = -12

x = -12/(-3)

x = 4

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

Problem 6)

We'll use the same idea from problem 5. The opposite sides EF and HG are congruent

EF = HG

3y = 3x+12

3y = 3*4+12

3y = 24

y = 24/3

y = 8

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

Problem 7)

For any parallelogram, the diagonals always cut each other in half.

Therefore HK = 2z+3 is exactly half that of segment HF = 22

Put another way, HF is twice as long as HK

2*(HK) = HF

2*(2z+3) = 22

4z+6 = 22

4z = 22-6

4z = 16

z = 16/4

z = 4

(b) The desired margin of error is $0.06. 43 Correct: Your answer is correct. (c) The desired margin of error is $0.04.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "16, 43, and 96".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]\sigma = 0.20\\\\c = 95\% = 0.95\\\\\therefore \alpha = 1- c = 1- 0.95 = 0.05\\\\\therefore \frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.025\\\\[/tex]

Using Z table:

[tex]\therefore Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} = 1.96\\\\[/tex]

For point a:

[tex]E = 0.10\\\\n=(\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} \times \sigma}}{E})^2[/tex]

    [tex]= (\frac{(1.96\times 0.20)}{0.10})^2\\\\= 15.3664 \approx 16[/tex]

so, The Sample size (n) = 16

For point b:

[tex]E = 0.06\\\\n=(\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} \times \sigma}}{E})^2[/tex]

   [tex]= (\frac{(1.96\times 0.20)}{0.06})^2\\\\= 42.6844444444\approx 43[/tex]

For point c:

[tex]E = 0.04\\\\n=(\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} \times \sigma}}{E})^2[/tex]

    [tex]= (\frac{(1.96\times 0.20)}{0.04})^2\\\\= 96.04\approx 96[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use right triangle trig and SohCahToa here to solve this. The side across from the angle marked as 33 degrees is given as 52; we are looking for h, the hypotenuse. The trig ratio that uses the the side across from the reference angle along with the hypotenuse is the sin ratio. Setting up the equation:

[tex]sin33=\frac{52}{h}[/tex]. Multiply both sides by h and then divide by sin(33) to get

[tex]h=\frac{52}{sin33}[/tex] so

h = 95.476, choice D.

Which statements describe one of the transformations performed on f(x) = x2
to create g(x)= 3(x+ 5)2 -2 ? Choose all that apply.

Answers

Given:

The given functions are:

[tex]f(x)=x^2[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=3(x+5)^2-2[/tex]

To find:

The transformations performed of f(x) to create g(x).

Solution:

The translation is defined as

[tex]g(x)=kf(x+a)+b[/tex]                .... (i)

Where, k is stretch factor, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.

If 0<k<1, then the graph compressed vertically by factor k and if k>1, then the graph stretch vertically by factor k.

If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.

If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.

We have,

[tex]f(x)=x^2[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=3(x+5)^2-2[/tex]

Using these two function, we get

[tex]g(x)=3f(x+5)-2[/tex]                 ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]k=3,a=5,b=-2[/tex]

It means the graph of f(x) is vertically stretched with a scale factor of 3, shifts 5 units left and 2 units down to get g(x).

Therefore, the correct options are A and C.
