Answer:

y = [tex]\frac{2w}{x^{2}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve an equation for one of its variable do that

Underline the variableSeparate it on one side and the other terms on the other sideMake its coefficient equal 1

Let us use these steps to solve our question

∵ w = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x²y

→ Underline y

∴ w = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x²y

→ Multiply both sides by 2 to cancel the denominator 2

∵ 2 × w = 2 ×  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x²y

∴ 2w = x²y

→ Divide both sides by x² to move it to the left side

∵ [tex]\frac{2w}{x^{2}}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x^{2}y}{x^{2}}[/tex]

∴  [tex]\frac{2w}{x^{2}}[/tex] =  y

→ Switch the two sides

The probability that a truck will be going over the speed limit on I-77 South between Dobson and Elkin is about 75%. Suppose a random sample of five trucks are observed on this stretch of I-77. a. Find the mean of this probability distribution. Show the formula and your work. b. Interpret the mean in the context of the problem. c. Find the standard deviation of this probability distribution. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. d. Find the probability that exactly 3 of the observed trucks are speeding. e. Find the probability that less than 3 of the observed trucks are speeding.

Answers

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of trucks that will be going over the speed limit on I-77 South between Dobson and Elkin.

The probability of X is, p = 0.75.

A random sample of n = 5 trucks are observed on this stretch of I-77.

The random variable X follows a binomial distribution with parameters n = 5 and p = 0.75.

(a)

Compute the mean as follows:

[tex]\mu=n\times p=5\times 0.75=3.75[/tex]

The mean of this probability distribution is 3.75.

(b)

The mean of 3.75 implies that on average 3.75 trucks that will be going over the speed limit on I-77 South between Dobson and Elkin.

(c)

Compute the standard deviation as follows:

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{5\times 0.75\times (1-0.75)}=0.968[/tex]

Thus, the standard deviation of this probability distribution is 0.97.

(d)

Compute the probability that exactly 3 of the observed trucks are speeding as follows:

[tex]P(X=3)={5\choose 3}(0.75)^{3}(1-0.75)^{5-3}\\\\=10\times 0.421875\times 0.0625\\\\=0.263671875\\\\\approx 0.2637[/tex]

Thus, the probability that exactly 3 of the observed trucks are speeding is 0.2637.

(e)

Compute the probability that less than 3 of the observed trucks are speeding as follows:

[tex]P(X<3)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)\\\\=\sum\limits^{2}_{x=0}{{5\choose x}(0.75)^{x}(1-0.75)^{5-x}}\\\\=0.0009765625+0.0146484375+0.087890625\\\\=0.103515625\\\\\approx 0.1035[/tex]

Thus, the probability that less than 3 of the observed trucks are speeding is 0.1035.

which fraction is less 2/10 or 5/8 or neither they are equal

Answers

2/10 is less, because with a common denominator they are 8/40 and 25/40.  Since 5/8 = 25/40, and 8/40 is smaller than that, 2/10 is smaller.

Answer:

2/10 is less than 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

2/10 =0.20

5/8= 0.625

0.20<0.625

Carrie needs to determine the number of tiles that will fit in each row along the back of the shower. If the back of the shower measures 6 feet long and each tile is Two-thirds of a foot long, which equation shows how to determine the number of tiles that will fit in each row?

Answers

Answer: A6/ 2/3= 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that one tile is 2/3 ft long and we want to cover 6 ft (which is the given measure of the back of the shower).

To know the number of tiles needed, we will simply do cross multiplication as follows:

1 tile ...............> 2/3 ft

?? tiles ...........> 6 ft

Number of tiles = (6*1) / (2/3)

Number of tiles = 6 / (2/3)

Number of tiles = 9 tiles

An athlete us jumping. However, everytime she jumps she gets a bit more tired, and every jump goes 1/2 as far as her prior jump. Now, for her very first jump, she goes 1/2 of a foot. On her second jump, she goes 1/4 of a foot, and so on and so forth. How many jumps does it take to get to travel 1 foot

Answers

Answer:

She can never travel a distance of 1 foot for the given condition.

Step-by-step explanation:

In every jump, she goes 1/2 as far as her prior jump.

In the 1st jump, she covered a distance, d_1= \frac 1 2 foot.

The distance covered in the 2nd jump

[tex]d_2= \frac 12 \times d_1 = = \frac 12 \times \frac 12= \frac 1 4[/tex] (given)

So, the distanve covered in the 3rd jump

[tex]=\frac 12 \times d_2= \left(\frac 1 2\right )^2\times \frac 1 2= \left(\frac 1 2\right)^{3-1}\times \frac 1 2.[/tex]

Similarly, the distance covered in the [tex]r^{th}[/tex] jump

[tex]=\left(\frac 12 \right)^{r-1}\times \frac 1 2.[/tex]

Assuming she requires [tex]n[/tex] jumps to travel 1 foot of distance.

So, the sum of all the distances covered in n jumps = 1 foot

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac 1 2 + \frac 1 4 + \cdots + \left(\frac 12 \right)^{r-1}\times \frac 1 2+\cdots+ \left(\frac 12 \right)^{n-1}\times \frac 1 2=1[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac 1 2 + \left(\frac 12 \right)^2 + \cdots + \left(\frac 12 \right)^{r}+\cdots+ \left(\frac 12 \right)^{n}=1[/tex]

This a geometric progression, G.P., of [tex]n[/tex] terms having common ration, r= 1/2 and the first term [tex]a_1= 1/2[/tex].

As sum of all the n terms of  G.P [tex]=\frac {a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}[/tex],

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac {1/2((1/2)^n-1)}{1/2-1}=1[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow - \left(\left(\frac 1 2\right)^n-1\right)=1[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \left(\frac 1 2\right)^n-1=-1[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \left(\frac 1 2\right)^n=-1+1=0[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac {1}{2^n}=0[/tex]

This is only possible, mathematically, when [tex]n\rightarrow \infty[/tex], But in real life situation reaching infinity is not possible.

Hence, she can never travel a distance of 1 foot for the given condition.

The domain is all x-values of coordinate pairs.
But, if you need a reasonable domain for a graph, it should be all integers (whole numbers) greater than or equal to zero.
This is because you can’t have 1/2 of a person or 1/2 of an engine. You also can’t have any negative engines either. Therefore, the domain would need to be whole numbers greater than (or equal to 0).
