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
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
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.
Which of the following is a point-slope equation of a line that passes through
the points (10,5) and (4, -7)?
A. y-5= 2(x-10)
B. Y-5 = -2(x-10)
C. y-10 = 2(x-5)
D. y-10 = -2(x-5)
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
m = Y2 - Y1/ X2 - X1
m= -7 - 5/ 4 - 10
m = -12/ -6
m = 2
y - y1 = m ( x - x1)
y - 5 = 2 (x - 10)

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?
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
Worth in 4 years = $678.83

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
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.

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.
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
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.
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
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..........

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?
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
