Sean and Evan are college roommates who have part-time jobs as servers in restaurants. The distribution of Sean’s weekly income is approximately normal with mean $225 and standard deviation $25. The distribution of Evan’s weekly income is approximately normal with mean $240 and standard deviation $15. Assuming their weekly incomes are independent of each other, which of the following is closest to the probability that Sean will have a greater income than Evan in a randomly selected week?

a. 0.67
b. 0.700
c. 0.227
d. 0.303
e. 0.354

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d. 0.303

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

In this question:

We want the probability of Sean having a greater income than Evan, which is the probability of the subtraction of Sean's income by Evan's income is greater than 0.

Distribution of the difference between Sean's and Evan's income:

Sean has mean 225, Evan 240. So

[tex]\mu = 225 - 240 = -15[/tex]

Sean's standard deviation is of 25, Evan's of 15. So

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{25^2+15^2} = 29.15[/tex]

Probability that Sean will have a greater income than Evan in a randomly selected week:

Probability of the subtraction being greater than 0, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0 - (-15)}{29.15}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.51[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.51[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.695

1 - 0.695 = 0.305.

Closest to 0.303, option d.

x = 11.74739484

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, you can use trig functions. We are given an angle and the side next to it, and we are looking for the side opposite it. The perfect trig function to use for this would be tangent:

tan(θ) = opposite / adjacent

We can substitute the values we already have:

tan(40) = x / 14

x = 14 * tan(40)

We can evaluate this using a calculator and get:

x = 11.74739484

X=86/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x=46/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

3/ 4 (x−2)+ 1/ 3 (2x+5)=4

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3/ 4 (x−2)+ 1/ 3 (2x+5)=4

( 3/ 4 )(x)+( 3/ 4 )(−2)+( 1/ 3 )(2x)+( 1/ 3 )(5)=4 (Distribute)

3/ 4x+ −3/ 2 + 2/ 3 x+ 5/ 3 =4

( 3/ 4 x+ 2/ 3 x)+( −3/ 2 + 5/ 3 )=4 (Combine Like Terms)

17/ 12 x+ 1/ 6 =4

17/ 12 x+ 1/ 6 =4

Step 2: Subtract 1/6 from both sides.

17/ 12 x+ 1/ 6 − 1/ 6 =4− 1/ 6

17/ 12 x= 23/ 6

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 12/17.

( 12/ 17 )*( 17/ 12 x)=( 12/ 17 )*( 23/ 6 )

x= 46/ 17

Question 13 I don’t know how to do it

Answers

Answer:

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] (x - 1)²(x + 2)(x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots from the graph are

x = - 6 , then factor is (x + 6)

x = - 2 , then factor is (x + 2)

x = 1 ( multiplicity 2 ) , then factor is (x - 1)² then

y = a(x - 1)²(x + 2)(x + 6) ← a is a multiplier

To find a substitute any point on the graph into the equation

Using (0, - 3 ), then

- 3 = a(- 1)²(2)(6) = 12a ( divide both sides by 12 )

- [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = a

Then

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] (x - 1)²(x + 2)(x + 6)

They overlap: adjacent angles do not overlap.

Answer: Choice B

angle BAF and angle BAC are adjacent

=============================================================

Explanation:

Let's go through each of the answer choices.

Choice A is true since angles BAF and CAF form a right angle (90 degree angle). So we can rule this out.Choice B is false. This is the answer. Adjacent angles must share a common ray or side, which does happen with the two angles in question (both share ray AB); however, note that angle BAF is completely inside angle BAC. We cannot have this overlap, or any overlap at all, when it comes to adjacent angles. Choice C is true. The two angles combine or glue together to form a straight angle, which is 180 degrees. We can rule this answer choice out.

In a circle of radius 10 cm, a sector has an area of 40 (pi) sq. cm. What is the degree measure of the arc of the sector?
72
144
180°

Answers

Answer:

144°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of the circle, with the formula A = [tex]\pi[/tex]

Plug in 10 as the radius, and solve

A = [tex]\pi[/tex]r²

A = [tex]\pi[/tex](10²)

A = 100[tex]\pi[/tex]

Using this, create a proportion that relates the area of the sector to the degree measure of the arc.

Let x represent the degree measure of the arc of the sector:

[tex]\frac{40\pi }{100\pi }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{360}[/tex]

Cross multiply and solve for x:

100[tex]\pi[/tex]x = 14400[tex]\pi[/tex]

x = 144

So, the degree measure of the sector arc is 144°

Answer:

Solution :-

We know that

Area = πr²

Area = 3.14 × (10)²

Area = 314/100 × 100

Area = 314 cm²

Now

40π/314 = x/360

40 × 3.14/314 = x/360

125.6/314 = x/360

0.4 = x/360

0.4 × 360 = x

144 = x
