The Census Bureau says that the 10 most common surnames in the United States are, in order, Smith, Johnson, Williams, Brown, Jones, Miller, Davis, Garcia, Rodriguez, and Wilson. These names account for 9.6% of all U.S. residents. Suppose you look at the authors of the textbooks for your current courses and find that there are 8 authors in total. What is the probability that none of the 8 surnames of these authors were among the 10 most common

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.4460 = 44.60% probability that none of the 8 surnames of these authors were among the 10 most common

Step-by-step explanation:

For each surname, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are among the 10 most common, or they are not. Each author is independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

These names account for 9.6% of all U.S. residents.

This means that [tex]p = 0.096[/tex]

8 authors in total.

This means that [tex]n = 8[/tex]

What is the probability that none of the 8 surnames of these authors were among the 10 most common

This is [tex]P(X = 0)[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{8,0}.(0.096)^{0}.(0.904)^{8} = 0.4460[/tex]

0.4460 = 44.60% probability that none of the 8 surnames of these authors were among the 10 most common

Replace the values of A, b, x, and y to write an exponential equation that represents the number of cells present at h hours.

Answers

Answer:

100(2)^h =6,400

Step-by-step explanation:

For an equation in the form A(b)^x=y , A represents the initial amount, and b represents the growth rate. At 0 hours, there were 100 cells, so A=100 .

Between 0 hours and 1 hour, the number of cells doubled from 100 to 200, or 100(2). Between 1 and 2 hours, the number of cells again doubled from 200 to 400, or 100(2)^2 . So the growth rate, or b, is 2.

The table shows that at h hours, there were 6,400 cells. Therefore, the equation that represents the number of cells at h hours is 100(2)^h =6,400.

What is the area of the shaded region?
(25/1 - 48) cm
(2571 - 30) cm
(2572 - 24) cm
(2571 – 12) cm2

Answers

Answer:

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Area of the shaded region = Area of circle - (Area of the ΔOAB + Area of ΔOED)

Area of the circle = πr²

                             = π(5)²

                             = 25π cm²

Area of ΔOAB = 2(Area of ΔOCB)

AB = 6 cm

OC = 5 - 1 = 4 cm

By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔOCB,

OB² = OC² + BC²

5² = 4² + BC²

BC² = 25 - 16

BC = √9 = 3 cm

Area of ΔOCB = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(OC)(BC)[/tex]

                        = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(4)(3)[/tex]

                        = 6 cm²

Area of ΔAOB = 2(6) = 12 cm²

Area of ΔAOB = Area of ΔDOE = 12 cm²

Area of shaded region = 25π - (12 + 12)

                                      = (25π - 24) cm²

Therefore, Option (3) will be the answer.

given the function f(x)=x^3 +x^2-2x+1 what is the resulting function f(x) is shifted to the left one unit

Answers

Answer:

The resulting function is [tex]f(x+1) = x^3 + 4x^2 + 3x + 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have a function f(x). If we want to shift the function 1 unit to the left, we find f(x+1).

In this question, we have:

[tex]f(x) = x^3 + x^2 - 2x + 1[/tex]

Shifting 1 unit to the left:

[tex]f(x+1) = (x+1)^3 + (x+1)^2 - 2(x+1) + 1[/tex]

[tex]f(x+1) = (x^3 + 3x^2 + 3x + 1) + (x^2 + 2x + 1) - 2x - 2 + 1[/tex]

[tex]f(x+1) = x^3 + (3+1)x^2 + (3+2-2)x + 1 + 1 - 2 + 1[/tex]

[tex]f(x+1) = x^3 + 4x^2 + 3x + 1[/tex]

The resulting function is [tex]f(x+1) = x^3 + 4x^2 + 3x + 1[/tex]

Answer:

11/36

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 36 possible outcomes when rolling a pair of dice.

Only 1 outcome gets both 3's. (3 3)

For the sum to be greater than 8, there are 10 outcomes.

(3 6) (4 5) (4 6) (5 4) (5 5) (5 6) (6 3) (6 4) (6 5) (6 6)

The probability is therefore (1+10)/36=11/36.

Heather is a cashier. She can ring up 121 customers in 9 minutes.
At this rate, how many minutes does it take her to ring up 4 customers

Answers

Answer:

In four minutes Heather can ring up 52 maybe even 53 customers.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this answer you would have to find how many customers Heather can rind up in one minute. To do this you can do 121 divided by 9 which equals about 13 so you can use 13. And then you would do 13 times 4 because that's how many minutes the question is asking for, and your answer would be about 52, so your answer is about 52 close to 53, you might not get an exact answer for a problem like this. :)
