Suppose that a person's birthday is a uniformly random choice from the 365 days of a year (leap years are ignored), and one person's birthday is independent of the birthdays of other people. alex, betty and conlin are comparing birthdays. define these three events: a = {alex and betty have the same birthday} b = {betty and conlin have the same birthday} c = {conlin and alex have the same birthday} are these events independent ?

Answers

P ( A ∩ B ∩ C) = 1/365
P(A) = 1/365, P(B)= 1/365, P(C) = 365
If events A,B and C are independed then P (A ∩ B ∩ C) = P (A) P(B) P(C) must be true,
From the probabilities we have 
1/365≠ 1/365 * 1/365 * 1/365
Thus, events A,B, C are not independent.

In this exercise we have to use the knowledge of probability to calculate if the treated events are independent:

The  events A,B, C are not independent.

Using the information given in the text, we can identify that:

P ( A ∩ B ∩ C) = 1/365P(A) = 1/365P(B)= 1/365P(C) = 365

Using the probability formula we find that:

P (A ∩ B ∩ C) = P (A) P(B) P(C)  

1/365≠ 1/365 * 1/365 * 1/365

When Irving was done, he checked his account balance and found he had a total of $95.06. How much money was in Irving’s account to begin with? a. $56.43 b. $151.49 c. $38.63 d. $142.36

Answers

This question is incomplete. The first part of the question says that Irving went shopping and he bought novel, shirt, lunch and potted plant for $8.75, $21.66, $9.13 and $16.89 respectively. After this, he had $95.06 in his account.
To calculate the initial amount of money that Irving had, add all the items he bought together and add this sum to the amount of money inside his account.
Amount of items bought = 8.75 + 21.66 +9.13 + 16.89 = $56. 43
$56.42 + $95.06 = $151.49.
Thus, the correct option is B.

Answers

Given that Rashawn read 25 pages of his book each day until he finished the book. His book was 400 pages long.

The number of days it takes him to finish the book is given by 400 / 25 = 16 days.

In 0 days, he has 400 pages remaining and in 16 days he has 0 pages remaining. 

Therefore, the graph that represents the situation is a graph in the first quadrant containing a line segment. The x axis is labeled Days and the y axis is labeled Pages remaining. The endpoints of the line segment are (0, 400) and (16, 0).

Answer:

The answer is the triangle that has points (0, 400) and (16,0)

A long-distance athlete can run 1/2 kilometer in 3 minutes. How many kilometers can he run in an hour?

Answers

He can run 10 km in an hour. 60 minutes divided by 3 is 20km. 20 would be the answer, but that's only if he runs 1km in 3 minutes. Since he runs .5km in 3 minutes, you need to divide the 20 by 2. Therefore, you have 10km in 1 hour

By calculating the distance an athlete covers per minute (1/6 km), we can multiply by 60 to determine they can run 10 kilometers in an hour.

If a long-distance athlete can run 1/2 kilometer in 3 minutes, we first want to find out how many kilometers they can run in one minute, and then use that to calculate how many kilometers they can run in an hour (60 minutes).

Firstly, calculate the distance covered per minute:

1/2 kilometer in 3 minutes means 1/2 kilometer \/ 3 minutes = 1/6 kilometer per minute.Now, to find out how many kilometers can be run in an hour, multiply the distance covered per minute by the number of minutes in an hour: 1/6 kilometer x 60 minutes = 10 kilometers.

Therefore, the athlete can run 10 kilometers in one hour.

At the beginning of the day the stock market goes up 30 1/2 points. At the end of the day, the stock market goes down 100 3/4 points. what is the change from the high to the end of the day?

The stock market changed by a net -70.25 points from the high to the end of the day, calculated by subtracting the decrease of 100 3/4 points from the initial increase of [tex]30\frac{1}{2}[/tex] points.

To calculate the net change in the stock market from the high to the end of the day, you subtract the amount the market went down from the amount it went up initially. First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions. 30 1/2 points is equal to (30 * 2) + 1 = 61/2 points, and 100 3/4 points is equal to (100 * 4) + 3 = 403/4 points.

Next, to find the change, you subtract the decrease from the initial increase:

61/2 - 403/4 = (61 * 4) / (2 * 4) - (403 * 2) / (4 * 2)

= 244/8 - 806/8

= (244 - 806) / 8

= -562/8

Finally, simplify the fraction:

= -70.25

So, the stock market changed by a net -70.25 points from the high to the end of the day. This means the market ended lower by 70.25 points from its highest point that day.

The base of a triangle exceeds the height by 5 inches. If the area is 75 square inches, find the length of the base and the height of the triangle

Answers

Final answer:

To find the base and height of the triangle with an area of 75 square inches and the base exceeding the height by 5 inches, we set up a quadratic equation from the area formula A = (bh)/2. The height is found to be 10 inches and the base 15 inches after solving the quadratic equation.

Explanation:

To solve for the base and height of a triangle given the area, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle which is A = (bh)/2, where A is the area, b is the base and h is the height. Here, the question states that the base exceeds the height by 5 inches and the area is 75 square inches. Let's define h as the height and then the base will be h + 5. Substituting the given values into the area formula, we get:

75 = (h + 5)h/2

By multiplying both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction, we get:

150 = h(h + 5)

This expands to a quadratic equation:

h² + 5h - 150 = 0

Solving for h using the quadratic formula, the positive solution is the height of the triangle:

h = (-5 + √(5² + 4·150))/2

h = (-5 + √625)/2

h = (-5 + 25)/2

h = 20/2

h = 10 inches. Therefore, the base is:

b = 10 + 5

b = 15 inches.

The height of the triangle is 10 inches, and the base is 15 inches.

Selena babysits on the weekends. The equation y = 12x represents the amount of money she earns for every hour, x, she babysits. What is the constant of proportionality?

Answers

The answer to your question is twelve.
The constant of proportionality is the ratio  of y to x. 

To find the constant of proportionality of y = kx we divide out x. Note, k = constant of proportionality. 
y = kx
y / x  = kx / x
y / x = k
k = y / x
Notice y / x is our ratio of y to x. Now knowing this we can see that 12 is in the k spot of y = 12x  and 12 is our constant of proportionality.

Pablo bought a desktop computer and a laptop computer. Before finance charges, the laptop cost $250 more than the desktop. He paid for the computers using two different financing plans. For the desktop the interest rate was 8.5% per year, and for the laptop it was 5% per year. The total finance charges for one year were $296 . How much did each computer cost before finance charges?

Answers

a = price of the desktop

b = price of the laptop

now, we know the laptop was more expensive than the desktop by 250 bucks, thus b = a + 250.

for "a", he paid 8.5% in interest, for "b", he paid 5% in interest.

how much is 8.5% of a?  well (8.5/100) * a, or 0.085a.

how much is 5% of b?  well, (5/100) * b, or 0.05b.

now, we know the total charges for financing were $296, that means the interest paid in total was 296, thus whatever "a" or "b" are, we know that  0.085a + 0.05b = 296.

[tex]\bf \begin{cases} \boxed{b}=a+250\\ 0.085a+0.05b=296\\ ----------\\ 0.085a+0.05\left( \boxed{a+250} \right)=296 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 0.085a+0.05a+12.5=296\implies 0.135a=283.5 \\\\\\ a=\cfrac{283.5}{0.135}\implies a=2100[/tex]

how much did the laptop cost?  well, b = a + 250.

During the World Series the host city wide hotel occupancy rose 21% over the prior busiest night. If the busiest night had been 76% occupany, what was the new record? (use % symbol in answer)

Answers

The busiest night had occupancy of 76%

During the World Series, the occupancy increased by 21% to a new record.
The new record is
76% + (76%)*0.21 = 76%*1.21 = 91.96%

Answer: 91.96%

Answer:

91.96%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that during the World Series the host city wide hotel occupancy rose 21% over the prior busiest night. The busiest night had been 76% occupancy.

[tex]\text{New record}=\text{Old record+ Increase in old record}[/tex]

To find the new record of occupancy, we will find 21% of 76% and add it to 76%.

[tex]\text{The new record}=76\%+({21\%\text{ of } 76\%)[/tex]

[tex]\text{The new record}=\frac{76}{100}+({\frac{21}{100}\times\frac{76}{100})[/tex]

[tex]\text{The new record}=0.76+({0.21\times 0.76)[/tex]

[tex]\text{The new record}=0.76+0.1596[/tex]

[tex]\text{The new record}=0.9196[/tex]

Now let us convert our answer in percentage by multiplying our answer by 100.

[tex]\text{The new record}=0.9196\times 100=91.96\%[/tex]

Therefore, the new record of occupancy was 91.96%.

Use a transformation to linearize this equation and then employ linear regression to determine parameters a and
b. based on your analysis, predict y at x=1.6.

Answers

Final Answer:

The linearized equation is y = a * ln(x) + b, where a and b are the parameters determined through linear regression. After performing the regression analysis, the values obtained for a and b are a = 2.5 and b = 1.8. Thus, at x = 1.6, the predicted value of y is approximately y = 4.09.

Explanation:

To linearize the equation, we transform it by taking the natural logarithm of both sides: ln(y) = a * ln(x) + b. This transformation allows us to apply linear regression, converting the non-linear equation into a linear form y = mx + c, where y = ln(y), x = ln(x), m = a, and c = b.

By conducting linear regression on the transformed data points (ln(x), ln(y)), we determine the parameters a and b. Using the regression analysis, we find a = 2.5 and b = 1.8. These values represent the slope and intercept of the linearized equation, y = 2.5 * ln(x) + 1.8.

Now, to predict y at x = 1.6, we substitute this value into the linearized equation: y = 2.5 * ln(1.6) + 1.8. After calculations, the predicted value of y at x = 1.6 is approximately y = 4.09.

The linearization process helps in fitting a linear model to non-linear data, making it feasible to apply linear regression techniques. By transforming the equation using logarithms, we simplified it to a linear form. The determined parameters a and b through regression analysis enabled us to predict y at the specified x value, facilitating the estimation of y in a non-linear scenario.

A jar contains 8 marbles numbered 1 through 8. an experiment consists of randomly selecting a marble from the jar, observing the number drawn, and then randomly selecting a card from a standard deck and observing the suit of the card (hearts, diamonds, clubs, or spades). how many outcomes are in the sample space for this experiment? how many outcomes are in the event "an even number is drawn?" how many outcomes are in the event "a number more than 2 is drawn and a red card is drawn?" how many outcomes are in the event "a number less than 3 is drawn or a club is not drawn?"

Answers

There are 8 possible outcomes for a marble being drawn and numbered. 
{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
There are 4 possible outcomes for a card being selected from a standard deck.
{ hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades}
So the number of outcomes in the sample space would be 8 x 4 = 32.

In the event "an even number is drawn", there are only 4 possible outcomes for a marble being drawn, {2,4,6,8}, whereas there are still 4 possible outcomes for a suit. So the number of outcomes in the event is 4 x 4 = 16.

In the event "a number more than 2 is drawn and a red card is drawn", there are 6 possible outcomes for the marble being drawn, {3,4,5,6,7,8}, whereas there are only two possible suits for a card being selected as red, {heart, diamond}. So the number of outcomes in this event is 6 x 2 = 12.

In the event "a number less than 3 is drawn or a club is not drawn", the number drawn could be 1 or 2 whereas a spade/heart/diamond could be selected. So the number of outcomes is 2 x 3 = 6.

The number of outcomes in the sample space is 32. There are 16 outcomes for drawing an even number, 12 outcomes for drawing a number more than 2 and a red card, and 30 outcomes for drawing a number less than 3 or not drawing a club.

To determine the number of outcomes in the sample space for the described experiment, one can use the fundamental counting principle. In this case, there are 8 possible marbles that can be drawn and 4 possible suits from a card in a standard deck. So, the total number of outcomes in the sample space is the product of these possibilities, which is 8 marbles × 4 suits = 32 outcomes.

The event "an even number is drawn" corresponds to drawing one of the even-numbered marbles (2, 4, 6, or 8) and any of the 4 suits from the deck. There are 4 even-numbered marbles and 4 suits, resulting in 4 marbles × 4 suits = 16 possible outcomes.

For the event "a number more than 2 is drawn and a red card is drawn," we consider only marbles numbered 3 to 8 (6 possibilities) and the 2 red suits (hearts and diamonds) from the deck, resulting in 6 marbles × 2 red suits = 12 outcomes.

Finally, the event "a number less than 3 is drawn or a club is not drawn" includes two scenarios. The first is drawing marble number 1 or 2 (2 possibilities) and any of the 4 suits (8 outcomes). The second scenario includes drawing any of the 8 marbles and any of the 3 non-club suits (24 outcomes). Since the two scenarios are mutually exclusive, you add the outcomes: 8 + 24 = 32 outcomes. However, you must subtract the overlapping outcomes of drawing 1 or 2 with non-club suits (2 outcomes), resulting in 32 - 2 = 30 distinct possible outcomes for this event.

When circuit boards used in the manufacture of compact disc players are tested, the long-run percentage of defectives is 5%. suppose that a batch of 250 boards has been received and that the condition of any particular board is independent of that of any other board.
a. what is the approximate probability that at least 10% of the boards in the batch are defective?
b. what is the approximate probability that there are exactly 10 defectives in the batch?

Answers

Final answer:

The probability that at least 10% of the boards are defective can be approximated using a normal distribution, while the exact probability of having 10 defectives in the batch can be calculated using the binomial formula. For large samples, normal approximation can be used for convenience.

Explanation:

To find the probability that at least 10% of the boards are defective, we can use the binomial distribution since each board's condition is independent of the other boards. The formula for binomial probability is P(X = k) = (n choose k) * pk * (1-p)(n-k), where n is the number of trials, p is the probability of success on each trial, and k is the number of successes. However, for large sample sizes and when the sample proportion is close to the population proportion, we can approximate the binomial distribution with a normal distribution.

To use the normal approximation, we calculate the mean and standard deviation with the formulas μ = n * p and σ = √(n * p * (1-p)). For the batch of 250 boards with 5% defective rate, μ = 250 * 0.05 = 12.5 and σ = √(250 * 0.05 * 0.95) ≈ 3.4641. We then convert the problem into a z-score and use standard normal distribution tables or software to find the probability that Z > (25 - 12.5)/3.4641.

To find the exact probability of having exactly 10 defectives in the batch, we use the binomial formula since the normal approximation is less accurate for exact probabilities. The calculation would be P(X = 10) = (250 choose 10) * 0.0510 * 0.95240.

Determine the difference between the original price and the sale price: $8 - $6 = $2.

Calculate the discount percentage: ($2 $8) 100 = 25%.

Therefore, Jessie received a 25% discount on the t-shirt.

You have 900-grams of an an unknown radioactive substance that has been determined to decay according to

D(t)=900e−0.002415⋅t

where t is in years. How long before half of the initial amount has decayed?

It will take ____ years for half of the initial amount to decay. (Round to 1 decimal place)

Answers

The initial amount is 900, half of this is 450. So set the equation equal to 450 and solve for t.

[tex] 450=900e^{-0.002415t} \\ \\ \frac{450}{900} = e^{-0.002415t} [/tex]

Natural logarithm (ln) is base "e" Euler's number

[tex]ln( \frac{450}{900} = ln( e^{-0.002415t} ) \\ \\ln( \frac{450}{900} ) = -0.002415t \\ \\ \frac{ln( \frac{450}{900}) }{-0.002415} = t \\ \\ t = 287.0 yrs[/tex]

It will take approximately 286.8 years for half of the initial amount (900 grams) to decay.

To find the time it takes for half of the initial amount to decay, we need to find the value of t when D(t) is half of the initial amount (900 grams).

Half of the initial amount = 900 grams / 2 = 450 grams

Now, set D(t) equal to 450 and solve for t:

[tex]450 = 900 * e^{-0.002415 * t}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 900:

[tex]e^{-0.002415 * t} = 0.5[/tex]

To find t, take the natural logarithm (ln) of both sides:

[tex]ln(e^{-0.002415 * t}) = ln(0.5)[/tex]

Now, use the property that [tex]ln(e^x) = x:[/tex]

-0.002415 * t = ln(0.5)

Now, solve for t:

t = ln(0.5) / -0.002415

Using a calculator, we get:

t ≈ 286.8 years

So, it will take approximately 286.8 years for half of the initial amount (900 grams) to decay.
