Among the most famous of all meteor showers are the Perseids, which occur each year in early August. In some areas the frequency of visible Perseids can be as high as 40 per hour. What is the probability that an observer who has just seen a meteor will have to wait at least 5 minutes before seen another.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the required probability is 0.0357

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

X-Exp( λ = 40/60 = 0.6667

Pdf: f( x ) = λe^(-λx), 0 < x

so

Cdf: P( X < x ) = 1 - e^(-λe)

( X ≤ x ) = 1 - e^(-λe), for x > 0 ⇒ p( X > x ) = e^(-λe)

now to wait at least 5 minutes before seen another

p(X  > 5 ) = e^(-λe)

we substitute

p(X  > 5 ) = e^(-0.6667 × 5)

p(X  > 5 ) = e^(-3.3335)

p(X  > 5 ) = 0.035668 ≈ 0.0357

Therefore,  the required probability is 0.0357

The area of the grass seed Jerome needs to cover is A = 34.375 m²

What is the Area of a Rectangle?

The area of the rectangle is given by the product of the length of the rectangle and the width of the rectangle

Area of Rectangle = Length x Width

Given data ,

Let the area of the grass seed needs to cover be A

Now , the area of the lawn L = ( 11 3/4 ) x 5 m²

The area of the lawn L = 58.75 m²

where the length of the pool l= ( 7 1/2 ) m = 7.5 m

The width of the pool is w = ( 3 1/4 ) m = 3.25 m

Now , Area of Rectangle = Length x Width

On simplifying , we get

Area of the pool P = 7.5 x 3.25 = 24.375 m²

Now , the area of the grass seed needs to cover A = L - P

The area of the grass seed needs to cover A = 58.75 m² - 24.375 m²

The area of the grass seed needs to cover A = 34.375 m²

Therefore , the value of A is 34.375 m²

Hence , the area of the grass seed is 34.375 m²

In Exercises 1-4, the sample size n, probability of success p, and probability of
failure q are given for a binomial experiment. Determine whether you can use a
normal distribution to approximate the distribution of x.
1. n = 24, p = 0.85, 9 = 0.15
2. n = 15, p = 0.70, q = 0.30
3. n = 18, p = 0.90, q = 0.10
4. n = 20, p = 0.65, q = 0.35

Answers

Answer:

1. No

2. No

3. No

4. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial approximation to normal.

The binomial probability distribution has parameters n, p and q.

If

[tex]np \geq 5[/tex] and [tex]nq \geq 5[/tex], you can use the normal approximation.

1. n = 24, p = 0.85, q = 0.15

[tex]np = 24*0.85 = 20.4 > 5[/tex]

[tex]nq = 24*0.15 = 3.6 < 5[/tex]

So no.

2. n = 15, p = 0.70, q = 0.30

[tex]np = 15*0.7 = 10.5 > 5[/tex]

[tex]nq = 15*0.3 = 4.5 < 5[/tex]

So no.

3. n = 18, p = 0.90, q = 0.10

[tex]np = 18*0.9 = 16.2 > 5[/tex]

[tex]nq = 18*0.1 = 1.8 < 5[/tex]

No

4. n = 20, p = 0.65, q = 0.35

[tex]np = 20*0.65 = 13 > 5[/tex]

[tex]nq = 20*0.35 = 7 > 5[/tex]

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B.  (4, 5π/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you sketch the location of the point, you find the coordinates correspond to the side lengths of a 30°-60°-90° "special" triangle. The reference angle is 60°, or π/3 radians, and the magnitude of the vector is twice the short dimension, so is 2×2 = 4.

The polar coordinates are (4, 5π/3).

An engineer is designing a fuel tank in the shape of a cylinder. The tank must have a volume of 3,500 cubic inches. The height of the cylinder must be twice the radius. What is the approximate radius of the cylinder?


8.2 inches


10.4 inches


12.1 inches


23.6 inches

Answers

C Correct ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By using the formula for the volume of a cylinder we will see that the approximate radius must be 8.2 inches.

How to get the radius of the cylinder?

Remember that for a cylinder of radius R and height H the volume is:

[tex]V = 3.14*R^2*H[/tex]

In this case, the height is twice the radius, so we have:

H = 2R

[tex]V = 3.14*R^2*2R = 6.28*R^3[/tex]

And we know that the volume must be 3,500 in^3, now we can replace that and solve for R, we will get:

[tex]3,500 in^3 = 6.28*R^3[/tex]

[tex](3,500 in^3/6.28)^{1/3} = R = 8.2 in[/tex]

The approximate radius of the cylinder must be 8.2 inches.

Answers

Answer:

(a)

[tex]Small = 28[/tex]

[tex]Large = 42[/tex]

(b)

[tex]Ratio = 14 : 25[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]L = Large\\ S = Small[/tex]

[tex]S : L = 2 : 3[/tex]

[tex]Total = 70[/tex]

Solving (a): Number of each set.

The small set is calculated as:

[tex]Small = \frac{S}{S + T} * Total[/tex]

[tex]Small = \frac{2}{2+3} * 70[/tex]

[tex]Small = \frac{2}{5} * 70[/tex]

[tex]Small = 0.4 * 70[/tex]

[tex]Small = 28[/tex]

Using complement rule.

[tex]Large = Total - Small[/tex]

[tex]Large = 70 - 28[/tex]

[tex]Large = 42[/tex]

Solving (b): Increase large by 8.

The ratio is then calculated as:

[tex]Ratio = Small : Large + 8[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 28 : 42 + 8[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 28 : 50[/tex]

Divide by 2

[tex]Ratio = 14 : 25[/tex]

The heights, in inches, of five players on a basketball
team are 68, 70, 76, 71, and 70. What is the mean
height, in inches, of these players?
A)76

B)72

C)71

D)70

Answers

Answer:

C) 71

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean you must first add all the numbers:

68 + 70 + 76 + 71 + 70 = 355.

After that you divide the number you got by how many numbers are in the set.

There are five players so we divide the number by 5

355/5 = 71

Therefore, it is 71.
