Answer:
base: L/2height: L√3/2Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the ratio of the rectangle base to the triangle side length. Then the height of the small triangle above the rectangle will be x times the height of the equilateral triangle. Then the height of the rectangle is (1-x) times the height of the equilateral triangle. The rectangle's area will be ...
A = bh
A = (xL)(1-x)(L·√3/2) = (L²√3/2)(x)(1-x)
This graphs as parabola opening downward with x-intercepts at x=0 and x=1. The vertex is on the line of symmetry, halfway between these zeros, at x = 1/2.
The base of the rectangle is L/2.
The height of the rectangle is L√3/2.
_____
The general solution to this sort of problem is that one side of the rectangle is the midsegment of the triangle.

find an odd natural numbers x such that LCM (x, 40) = 1400
Answers
Answer:
175
Step-by-step explanation:
so, the LCM is the combination of the longest chains of the prime factors in every number.
40 : 2, 2, 2, 5
1400 / 40 = 35
35 : 5, 7
but LCM(35, 40) = 2×2×2×5×7 = 280
and not 1400.
what is missing ?
1400 / 280 = 5
aha, another prime factor 5 is missing to get 1400.
x : 5, 5, 7
so, x = 5×5×7 = 175
LCM(175, 40) = 2×2×2×5×5×7 = 1400

(b) Give the domain and range of V.

Answers
Answer:
[tex](a)\ V = \{(N,30),(R,37),(S,17)\}[/tex]
[tex](b)[/tex]
[tex]Domain = \{N,R,S\}[/tex]
[tex]Range = \{37,30,17\}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]V(R) = 37,\ V(N) = 30,\ V(S) = 17[/tex]
Solving (a): Set of ordered pair
A function y = f(x) is represented as (x,y)
So, the ordered pair of V is:
[tex]V = \{(R,37),(N,30),(S,17)\}[/tex]
Order the alphabets in increasing order
[tex]V = \{(N,30),(R,37),(S,17)\}[/tex]
Solving (b): The domain and the range
In a function [tex]\{(x_1,y_1),...,(x_n,y_n)\}[/tex]
The domain and the range are represented as:
[tex]Domain = \{x_1,x_2....x_n\}[/tex]
[tex]Range = \{y_1,y_2....y_n\}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]Domain = \{N,R,S\}[/tex]
[tex]Range = \{37,30,17\}[/tex]

Answers
Answer:
The numbers are 18 and 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\bar x_1 = 14[/tex] [tex]n_1 = 17[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_2 = 13[/tex] [tex]n_2 = 15[/tex]
[tex]a - b = 7[/tex] --- the difference of the 2 numbers
Required
Find a and b
We have:
[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex] -- mean formula
So, we have:
[tex]\bar x_1 = \frac{\sum x_1}{n_1}[/tex]
[tex]14 = \frac{\sum x_1}{17}[/tex]
Cross multiply
[tex]\sum x_1 = 14 * 17[/tex]
[tex]\sum x_1 = 238[/tex]
When the two numbers are removed, we have:
[tex]\bar x_2 = \frac{\sum x_2}{n_2}[/tex]
[tex]13 = \frac{\sum x_2}{15}[/tex]
Cross multiply
[tex]\sum x_2 = 13 * 15[/tex]
[tex]\sum x_2 = 195[/tex]
The two numbers that were removed are:
[tex]a + b = \sum x_1 - \sum x_2[/tex]
[tex]a + b = 238 - 195[/tex]
[tex]a + b = 43[/tex]
Make a the subject
[tex]a= 43 - b[/tex]
We have:
[tex]a - b = 7[/tex]
Substitute [tex]a= 43 - b[/tex]
[tex]43 - b - b = 7[/tex]
[tex]43 - 2b = 7[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]2b = 43 - 7[/tex]
[tex]2b = 36[/tex]
Divide by 2
[tex]b = 18[/tex]
Substitute [tex]b = 18[/tex] in [tex]a= 43 - b[/tex]
[tex]a = 43 - 18[/tex]
[tex]a = 25[/tex]

Answers
Answer:
Determination of type of error arising from the situations
Situation Type of Error
1. Nonresponse
2. Bad sampling method
3. Question wording
4. Undercoverage
Step-by-step explanation:
Types of errors:
a. question wording means that the manner a question is worded elicits some particular responses, which may not accurately reflect reality.
b. undercoverage occurs when some elements of the target population is not represented on the survey frame.
c. processing error arises from data processing
d. bad sampling method is caused by the voluntariness of those who choose to respond.
e. response error is caused by a questionnaire that requires framing improvements, misinterpretation of questions by interviewers or respondents, and errors in respondents' statements.
f. nonresponse error arises as a result of incomplete information or partial response.
g. random sampling error arises from the limited sample size when compared with the population size.
A company that produces DVD drives has a 12% defective rate. Let X represent the number of defectives in a random sample of 55 of their drives.
Required:
a. What is the probability the sample will contain exactly 8 defective drives?
b. What is the probability the sample will contain more than 8 defective drives?
c. What is the probability the sample will contain less than 8 defective drives?
d. What is the expected number of defective drives in the sample?
Answers
Answer:
a) 0.1287 = 12.87% probability the sample will contain exactly 8 defective drives
b) 0.2092 = 20.92% probability the sample will contain more than 8 defective drives.
c) 0.6621 = 66.21% probability the sample will contain less than 8 defective drives.
d) The expected number of defective drives in the sample is 6.6
Step-by-step explanation:
For each DVD, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a DVD being defective is independent of any other DVD, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.
A company that produces DVD drives has a 12% defective rate.
This means that [tex]p = 0.12[/tex]
Let X represent the number of defectives in a random sample of 55 of their drives.
This means that [tex]n = 55[/tex]
a. What is the probability the sample will contain exactly 8 defective drives?
This is [tex]P(X = 8)[/tex]. So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{55,8}.(0.12)^{8}.(0.88)^{47} = 0.1287[/tex]
0.1287 = 12.87% probability the sample will contain exactly 8 defective drives.
b. What is the probability the sample will contain more than 8 defective drives?
This is:
[tex]P(X > 8) = 1 - P(X \leq 8)[/tex]
In which:
[tex]P(X \leq 8) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8)[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{55,0}.(0.12)^{0}.(0.88)^{55} = 0.0009[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{55,1}.(0.12)^{1}.(0.88)^{54} = 0.0066[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{55,2}.(0.12)^{2}.(0.88)^{53} = 0.0244[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{55,3}.(0.12)^{3}.(0.88)^{52} = 0.0588[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{55,4}.(0.12)^{4}.(0.88)^{51} = 0.1043[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{55,5}.(0.12)^{5}.(0.88)^{50} = 0.1450[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{55,8}.(0.12)^{6}.(0.88)^{49} = 0.1648[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{55,7}.(0.12)^{7}.(0.88)^{48} = 0.1573[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{55,8}.(0.12)^{8}.(0.88)^{47} = 0.1287[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X \leq 8) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) = 0.0009 + 0.0066 + 0.0244 + 0.0588 + 0.1043 + 0.1450 + 0.1648 + 0.1573 + 0.1287 = 0.7908[/tex]
[tex]P(X > 8) = 1 - P(X \leq 8) = 1 - 0.7908 = 0.2092[/tex]
0.2092 = 20.92% probability the sample will contain more than 8 defective drives.
c. What is the probability the sample will contain less than 8 defective drives?
This is:
[tex]P(X < 8) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)[/tex]
With the values we found in b.
[tex]P(X < 8) = 0.0009 + 0.0066 + 0.0244 + 0.0588 + 0.1043 + 0.1450 + 0.1648 + 0.1573 = 0.6621[/tex]
0.6621 = 66.21% probability the sample will contain less than 8 defective drives.
d. What is the expected number of defective drives in the sample?
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
In this question:
[tex]E(X) = 55(0.12) = 6.6[/tex]
The expected number of defective drives in the sample is 6.6

Answer:
D. 157
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We want to find the value of the expression 4(x²+3)-2y is when x=-6 and y=-1/2
Let's first simplify the expression, as that will likely make it easier
Distribute 4 to both x² and 3
4x²+12-2y
That's the expression
Substitute -6 as x into the expression
4(-6)²+12-2y
Raise (-6) to the second power
4*36+12-2y
Multiply 36 by 4
144+12-2y
Add 12 and 144 together
156-2y
Now the expression is 156-2y
But remember that we know that y=-1/2, and we haven't substituted it into the expression yet
Substitute -1/2 as y into the expression
156-2(-1/2)
Multiply
156+2/2
Simplify
156+1
Add
157
