A poll commissioned by Friends of the Earth and conducted by the Mellman Group found that 72% of American voters are in favor a carbon tax. Suppose that six voters in the United States are randomly sampled and asked whether they favor a carbon tax. Determine the probability that the number answering in the affirmative is a. Exactly four. b. At least two

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a

  [tex]P(X = 4) = 0.31599[/tex]

b

 [tex]P(X  \ge 2) = 0.9921  [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The proportion in favor of carbon tax is  [tex]p = 0.72[/tex]

    The sample size is  n  = 6

Generally the distribution of poll  follows a binomial distribution  

i.e  

         [tex]X  \~ \ \ \  B(n , p)[/tex]

and the probability distribution function for binomial  distribution is  

      [tex]P(X = x) =  ^{n}C_x *  p^x *  (1- p)^{n-x}[/tex]

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators      

   Generally the probability that the number answering in the affirmative is  4 is mathematically represented as

       [tex]P(X = 4) =  ^{6}C_4 *  (0.72)^4 *  (1- 0.72)^{6-4}[/tex]

=>     [tex]P(X = 4) = 0.31599[/tex]

   Generally the probability that the number answering in the affirmative is At least two is mathematically represented as

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

     [tex]P(X  \ge 2) = 1- [ P(X =  0 ) + P( X = 1)] [/tex]

=>  [tex]P(X  \ge 2) = 1- [ [ 1 *  1 * 0.00048 ]+ [ 6 * 0.72 * 0.00172] [/tex]

=>    [tex]P(X  \ge 2) = 1- [ 0.00791 ] [/tex]

=>    [tex]P(X  \ge 2) = 0.9921  [/tex]

Harriet used the work below to determine the percent equivalent to One-eighth.

Step 2: 8 divided by 100 = 0.08
Step 3: 0.08 times 1 = 0.08
Step 4: 0.08 percent

What was Harriet’s error?
In Step 1, she set up the proportions incorrectly.
In Step 2, she divided 8 by 100 instead of 100 by 8, so she cannot multiply the numerator by the factor.
In Step 3, she multiplied the numerator instead of the denominator by the factor.
In Step 4, she forgot to move the decimal.

When the function f(x) is divided by 2x 1, the quotient is x2 93 3 and the
remainder is –9. Find the function f(x) and write the result in standard form.

Answers

Answer:

my cash app is Joy95H Suppose we wish to find the zeros of f(x) = x

3 + 4x

2 − 5x − 14. Setting f(x) = 0 results in the

polynomial equation x

3 + 4x

2 − 5x − 14 = 0. Despite all of the factoring techniques we learned1

in Intermediate Algebra, this equation foils2 us at every turn. If we graph f using the graphing

calculator, we get

The graph suggests that the function has three zeros, one of which is x = 2. It’s easy to show

that f(2) = 0, but the other two zeros seem to be less friendly. Even though we could use the

‘Zero’ command to find decimal approximations for these, we seek a method to find the remaining

zeros exactly. Based on our experience, if x = 2 is a zero, it seems that there should be a factor

of (x − 2) lurking around in the factorization of f(x). In other words, we should expect that

x

3 + 4x

2 − 5x − 14 = (x − 2) q(x), where q(x) is some other polynomial. How could we find such

a q(x), if it even exists? The answer comes from our old friend, polynomial division. Dividing

x

3 + 4x

2 − 5x − 14 by x − 2 gives

x

2 + 6x + 7

x−2 x

3 + 4x

2 − 5x − 14

x

3 −2x

2

6x

2 − 5x

6x

2 −12x)

7x − 14

− (7x −14)

0

As you may recall, this means x

3 + 4x

2 − 5x − 14 = (x − 2)

x

2 + 6x + 7

, so to find the zeros of f,

we now solve (x − 2)

x

2 + 6x + 7

= 0. We get x − 2 = 0 (which gives us our known zero, x = 2)

as well as x

2 + 6x + 7 = 0. The latter doesn’t factor nicely, so we apply the Quadratic Formula to

get x = −3 ±

compounded times per year=4

time in years = 5

the formula is amt= p*(1+r/n)^(n*t)

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle Congruence

Given triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEC, then it's true that angle ABC is congruent to angle DEC.

The figure shows that:

[tex]m\angle B = 48^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle E = x + 4^\circ[/tex]

Those angles are congruent, or have the same measure, thus:

[tex]x + 4^\circ = 48^\circ[/tex]

what function best models the data and what wil be the chicken breast after 50 miutes​

Answers

Answer:

Students use linear, quadratic, and exponential functions to model data from tables and choose the regression

most appropriate to a given context. They use the correlation coefficient to determine the accuracy of a

regression model and then interpret the function in context. They then make predictions based on their model

and use an appropriate level of precision for reporting results and solutions.  

Lesson 7 focuses on data sets that cannot be modeled accurately, and students are asked

to articulate why. Students use skills learned in Lesson 14 of Module 2 (where they used

calculators to write linear regressions) and apply similar techniques for data sets that are

better suited to modeling with quadratic or exponential regressions. Students use that

same technique to find linear regressions and use their graphing calculators to examine

the correlation coefficient and to find quadratic and exponential regressions. They

compare correlation coefficients to determine which model is best for the data.

Ultimately, students choose the regression model (linear, quadratic, or exponential) most

appropriate to a given data set and then write, verify, and interpret these models in

context. Students need a graphing calculator to complete this lesson. Graphing calculator

instructions are provided, but steps may vary slightly depending on the model of the

graphing calculator.

Refer to the following full modeling cycle during this lesson (Found on page 61 of the CCLS

and page 72 of the CCSSM).

Scaffolding:

engaged when working

with relevant and real data

Dan and Paul share some money in the ratio 9:5.
Dan decides this is unfair so he gives Paul £32 of his share to make the ratio 1:1.
How much did Paul originally have?

Answers

Answer:

Paul had £40 originally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let d be the money Dan has and p be the money Paul has

Then according to the given situation,

[tex]\frac{d}{p} = \frac{9}{5}\\d = \frac{9p}{5}\ \ \ Equation\ 1[/tex]

Now from the statement, "Dan decides this is unfair so he gives Paul £32 of his share to make the ratio 1:1"

[tex]\frac{d-32}{p} = 1[/tex]     Eqn 2

From 2

[tex]d - 32 = p\\[/tex]

Putting d = 9p/5

[tex]\frac{9p}{5} - 32 = p\\9p - 160 = 5p\\9p-5p = 160\\4p = 160\\\frac{4p}{4} = \frac{160}{4}\\p = 40[/tex]

Checking

[tex]d = \frac{9(40)}{5} = \frac{360}{5} = 72\\\frac{d}{p} = \frac{72}{40} = \frac{9}{5}[/tex]

Hence,

Paul had £40 originally.

The conjecture is that the unit digit of 4^n = 4 when n = odd also 4^n = 6 when n = even

To prove this conjecture

[tex]4^1 = 4\\4^2 = 16[/tex] unit digit = 6
