Answer:
The probability that all three people on the subcommittee are men
= 20%
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of members in the committee = 15
= 8 men + 7 women
The probability of selecting a man in the committee
= 8/15
= 53%
The probability of selecting three men from eight men
= 3/8
= 37.5%
The probability that all three people on the subcommittee are men
= probability of selecting a man multiplied by the probability of selecting three men from eight men
= 53% x 37.5%
= 19.875%
= 20% approx.
This is the same as:
The probability of selecting 3 men from the 15 member-committee
= 3/15
= 20%
A manufacturing process that produces electron tubes is known to have a 10% defective rate. Suppose a random sample of 15 tubes is selected from the manufacturing process. a) Find the probability that no more than two defectives are found?
Answer:
Probability of obtaining no more than two defective tubes = 0.816
Step-by-step explanation:
The Probability of obtaining no more than two defective tubes in a randomly selected sample of 15 tubes is obtained using the binomial distribution formula: nCr × p^r × q^(n -r).
Where n is number of samples;
r is maximum number of defective tubes, r ≤ 2;
p is probability of defective tubes = 10% or 0.1
q is probability of non-defective tubes, q = 1 - p

Which point satisfies the system of equations y = 3x − 2 and y = -2x + 3? PLEASE I NEED IT NOW
Answer:
(1,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3x − 2
y = -2x + 3
the point that satisfies the system:
when the two functions are equal
3x-2=-2x+3
3x+2x=3+2
5x=5
x=5/5=1
when x=1
y=-2x+3
y=-2(1)+3
y=1
Answer:
(1,1) or x=1 and y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both equations are equal to y you can use substitution, replacing he y in y=3x-2 with -2x+3, giving you the equation -2x+3=3x-2. We can use this to solve for x. To isolate the variable you first need to add 2 to both sides, giving you -2x+5=3x, then add 2x to both sides. This gives you 5=5x, lastly you need to divide both sides by 5 to get x=1. Now you can plug x(1) into 1 of the 2 given equations to find y, I'll use y=3x-2. When x is plugged in as 1 you get the equation y=3(1)-2, after multiplying you get y=3-2, then you subtract to get y=1. In order to make sure this is the correct solution you can also plug in x as 1 and now y as 1 into the other equation, y=-2x+3. We can plug 1 in for x and solve for -2(1)+3 to get -2+3, or 1, so y is 1 for both equations, therefore the solution we got was correct, x=1 and y=1, or (1,1).

A population is increasing according to the exponential function defined by y = 3e^.04x, where y is in millions and x is the number of years. Which of the following should be done in order to answer the question "When will the population reach 4 million?"
A. Solve 3e^.04x=12
B. Evaluate y = 3e^.04x(4).
C. Evaluate y = 3e^.04x(1/4)
D. Solve 3e^.04x= 4.
Answer:
D. Solve 3e^0.04x= 4.Step-by-step explanation:
Given the population increasing according to the exponential function defined by y = 3e^0.04x, where y is in millions and x is the number of years, to determine when the population will reach 4 million, the following steps must be carried out.
Since y is in millions, we will first substitute y = 4 into the modeled equation as shown;
4 = 3e^0.04x
Therefore to calculate x, we need to solve the expression 3e^0.04x = 4 for the value of x and this is arrived at by simply substituting y = 4 into the given equation.
To get x;
3e^0.04x = 4
e^0.04x = 4/3
taking the ln of both sides
lne^0.04x = ln1.333
0.04x = 0.287
x = 0.287/0.04
x≈ 3.59 years

Austria. His last train ride carries him 2,088 kilometers from Vienna to Moscow
Find his total distance by first rounding each distance to the nearest hundred kilometers
before adding
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) List out all distances singly, before rounding off.
i) From London to Paris → 517Km
ii) From Paris to Munich → 837Km
iii) From Munich to Vienna → 399Km
iv) From Vienna to Moscow → 2,088Km
2) Estimating the distances singly on the basis of rounding off to the nearest 100.
i) 517Km ≈ 500Km to the nearest 100
ii) 837Km ≈ 800Km to the nearest 100
iii) 399Km ≈ 400Km to the nearest 100
iv) 2,088Km ≈ 2,100Km to the nearest 100
3) Summing all estimated distances.
500 + 800 + 400 + 2100
= 3,800Km.
NB: when a number is equal or above 50, you are to round it off as 100; when the number is below 50, you are to round off as zero (0).

Question 8(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (07.01 MC) Find the measure of arc DF. Circle A with chords EF and CD that intersect at point G, the measure of arc EC is 5x plus 10 degrees, the measure of angle EGC is 70 degrees, and the measure of arc DF is 11x plus 2 degrees. 50° 90° 100° 140°
Answer: 90°
Step-by-step explanation:
As known ∡EGC=(arcEC+arcDF)/2
arcEC+arcDF=70°*2
5x+10+11x+2=140
16x+12=140
16x=128
x=128:16
x=8
So arcDF=11*x+2=11*8+2=90°
The measure of arc DF is 90°.
What is circle?A circle is a closed, two-dimensional object where every point in the plane is equally spaced from a central point. The line of reflection symmetry is formed by all lines that traverse the circle. Additionally, every angle has rotational symmetry around the centre.
Given, Circle A with chords EF and CD that intersect at point G,
arc EC = 5x + 10°
arc DF = 11x + 2°
∠EGC = 70°
The measure of the inner angle is the semi-sum of the arcs comprising it and its opposite
so
∠EGC=(1/2)[arc EC+arc DF]
substitute the values
70 = 1/2(5x + 10 + 11x + 2)
70 = 1/2(16x + 12)
140 = 16x + 12
16x = 128
x = 128/16 = 8
so ac DF = 11x + 2
arc DF = 11(8) + 2
arc DF= 88 + 2 = 90°
Hence the value of arc DF is 90°.

An open box is to be made from a 5 ft by 9 ft rectangular piece of sheet metal by cutting out squares of equal size from the four corners and bending up the sides. Find the maximum volume that the box can have.
Answer: 21 ft³
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the height of the box.
Then the 5 ft width of cardboard is (5 - 2x) when creating the box
and the 9 ft length of cardboard is (9 - 2x) when creating the box.
Volume = length x width x height
= (9 - 2x)(5 - 2x)(x)
= 45x - 28x² + 4x³
Using Calculus to solve for x, set the derivative equal to zero and use the quadratic formula to solve for x:
V' = 45 - 56x + 12x²
0 = 12x² - 56x + 45
x = 3.6, x = 1.0
Use those values to find the width, length, and volume:
height(x) × width (5 - 2x) × length (9 - 2x) = Volume
3.63 × -2.26*
1 × 3 × 7 = 21
*width cannot be negative so the height cannot be 3.63

If the sum of the first n terms of an AP is 1/2 (3n^2+7n),then find its nth term.Hence write its 20th term.
Answer:
62
Step-by-step explanation:
Sn=1/2(3n^2+7n)
S1=1/2(3+7)=5
S2=1/2(3*4+7*2)=26/2=13
We know
S1=a1=5
S2=a1+a2=13
S2-s1=a1+a2-a1
13-5=a2
a2=8
We know d=a2-a1
d=8-5=3
nth term of AP =an=5+(n-1)3

A pharmacist wants to mix a 30% saline solution with a 10% saline solution to get 200 mL of a 12% saline solution. How much of each solution should she use
Answer:
30% constituents=20 mL
10% constituents=180 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
x= 30% volume
y=10% volume
For our first equation, we know the total volume is 200 mL and is the sum
x+y=200
y=200-x (1)
For our second equation, we do a mass balance for 200 mL of final solution.
12% w/v = 0.12 g/mL
This means that in 1 mL of solution, we have 0.12 g of NaCl.
For any solution, concentration multiplied by volume will give the mass of NaCl:
Mass in x mL= C*V (g/mL) (mL)
So in 200 mL, we have
0.12*200 (g/mL) (mL)
=24g of NaCl
Cx*Vx + Cy*Vy=24
0.3x+0.1y=24 (2)
Substitute y=200-x into (2)
0.3x+0.1(200-x)=24
0.3x+20-0.1x=24
0.2x=24-20
0.2x=4
Divide both sides by 0.2
0.2x/0.2=4/0.2
x=20
Substitute x=20 into (1)
y=200-x
y=200-20
y=180
30% constituents=20 mL
10% constituents=180 mL

An infinite population has a standard deviation of 10. A random sample of 100 items from this population is selected. The sample mean is determined to be 60. At 80% confidence, the margin of error is
Answer:
1.28
Step-by-step explanation:
Margin of error is also called confidence interval, and it shows how much the results from sample reflects the characteristics of the larger population.
The following steps are used to calculate margin of error.
- obtain population standard deviation (σ) and sample size (n)
- divide standard deviation by square root of sample size
- multiply result by z score consistent with the given confidence. In this case confidence is 80% and z score for it is 1.28
Margin of error= z * (σ ÷ √n)
Margin of error = 1.28 * (10 ÷ √100)
Margin of error= 1.28 * (10 ÷ 10) = 1.28

Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been studying the decay pattern of a new virus with a decay rate of 22% per hour. They start with 500 viruses that they want to check on in the next 8 hours. How many viruses will they find in 8 hours? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
They will find 69 viruses in 8 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of viruses after t hours is given by the following equation:
[tex]V(t) = V(0)(1-r)^{t}[/tex]
In which V(0) is the initial number of viruses and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
They start with 500 viruses
This means that [tex]V(0) = 500[/tex]
Decay rate of 22% per hour.
This means that [tex]r = 0.22[/tex]
So
[tex]V(t) = V(0)(1-r)^{t}[/tex]
[tex]V(t) = 500(1-0.22)^{t}[/tex]
[tex]V(t) = 500(0.78)^{t}[/tex]
How many viruses will they find in 8 hours?
This is V(8).
[tex]V(t) = 500(0.78)^{t}[/tex]
[tex]V(8) = 500(0.78)^{8}[/tex]
[tex]V(8) = 68.51[/tex]
Rounding to the nearest whole number
They will find 69 viruses in 8 hours.
Answer:
The researchers will find 86 viruses.
Step-by-step explanation:
Identify the value of each variable in the formula. Be sure to put the percent in decimal form. Be sure the units match—the rate is per hour and the time is in hours.
