Answer 413055 by jim_thompson5910(28476) About Me  on 2012-10-09 17:47:11 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Notice how AP = AT + TP and AP = AB + BP

Since AB = TP (given), this means

AP = AT + TP and AP = AB + BP

becomes

AP = AT + TP and AP = TP + BP

AP = AT + TP and AP = BP + TP

So this means that

AP = AT + TP

BP + TP = AT + TP

BP + TP - TP = AT + TP - TP

BP = AT

AT = BP

which proves that segment AT is congruent to segment BP

Answer 413040 by jim_thompson5910(28476) About Me  on 2012-10-09 17:28:32 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The probability of a randomly chosen apple being rotten is 0.518

So the probability of a randomly chosen apple NOT being rotten is 1 - 0.518 = 0.482

So p = 0.482

There are 5 apples picked, so n = 5.

This is a binomial distribution problem, so use the formula P(X = k) = (n C x)*(p)^(x)*(1-p)^(n-x)



For k = 0
P(X = k) = (n C x)*(p)^(x)*(1-p)^(n-x)
P(X = 0) = (5 C 0)*(0.482)^(0)*(1-0.482)^(5-0)
P(X = 0) = (5 C 0)*(0.482)^(0)*(0.518)^(5-0)
P(X = 0) = (1)*(0.482)^(0)*(0.518)^5
P(X = 0) = (1)*(1)*(0.037294844329568)
P(X = 0) = 0.037294844329568
P(X = 0) = 0.03729


For k = 1
P(X = k) = (n C x)*(p)^(x)*(1-p)^(n-x)
P(X = 1) = (5 C 1)*(0.482)^(1)*(1-0.482)^(5-1)
P(X = 1) = (5 C 1)*(0.482)^(1)*(0.518)^(5-1)
P(X = 1) = (5)*(0.482)^(1)*(0.518)^4
P(X = 1) = (5)*(0.482)*(0.071997768976)
P(X = 1) = 0.17351462323216
P(X = 1) = 0.17351


For k = 2
P(X = k) = (n C x)*(p)^(x)*(1-p)^(n-x)
P(X = 2) = (5 C 2)*(0.482)^(2)*(1-0.482)^(5-2)
P(X = 2) = (5 C 2)*(0.482)^(2)*(0.518)^(5-2)
P(X = 2) = (10)*(0.482)^(2)*(0.518)^3
P(X = 2) = (10)*(0.232324)*(0.138991832)
P(X = 2) = 0.32291138377568
P(X = 2) = 0.32291


For k = 3
P(X = k) = (n C x)*(p)^(x)*(1-p)^(n-x)
P(X = 3) = (5 C 3)*(0.482)^(3)*(1-0.482)^(5-3)
P(X = 3) = (5 C 3)*(0.482)^(3)*(0.518)^(5-3)
P(X = 3) = (10)*(0.482)^(3)*(0.518)^2
P(X = 3) = (10)*(0.111980168)*(0.268324)
P(X = 3) = 0.30046966598432
P(X = 3) = 0.30047


For k = 4
P(X = k) = (n C x)*(p)^(x)*(1-p)^(n-x)
P(X = 4) = (5 C 4)*(0.482)^(4)*(1-0.482)^(5-4)
P(X = 4) = (5 C 4)*(0.482)^(4)*(0.518)^(5-4)
P(X = 4) = (5)*(0.482)^(4)*(0.518)^1
P(X = 4) = (5)*(0.053974440976)*(0.518)
P(X = 4) = 0.13979380212784
P(X = 4) = 0.13979


and finally, for k = 5
P(X = k) = (n C x)*(p)^(x)*(1-p)^(n-x)
P(X = 5) = (5 C 5)*(0.482)^(5)*(1-0.482)^(5-5)
P(X = 5) = (5 C 5)*(0.482)^(5)*(0.518)^(5-5)
P(X = 5) = (1)*(0.482)^(5)*(0.518)^0
P(X = 5) = (1)*(0.026015680550432)*(1)
P(X = 5) = 0.026015680550432
P(X = 5) = 0.02602


The updated table is then
k P(X = k)
0 0.03729
1 0.17351
2 0.32291
3 0.30047
4 0.13979
5 0.02602

How to read the table above. Let's say you look at the third row. In this row is 2 and 0.32291, which says "the probability of picking exactly 2 rotten apples (out of 5 total) is roughly 0.32291 or 32.291%

Mean or Expected Value:

E[X] = Sum( P(X = xi) * xi )

E[X] = [P(X = x1)*(x1)] + [P(X = x2)*(x2)] + [P(X = x3)*(x3)] + [P(X = x4)*(x4)] + [P(X = x5)*(x5)]

E[X] = [0.1052*(0)] + [0.0455*(1)] + [0.3337*(2)] + [0.3754*(3)] + [0.1401*(4)]

E[X] = 0.1052*(0) + 0.0455*(1) + 0.3337*(2) + 0.3754*(3) + 0.1401*(4)

E[X] = 0 + 0.0455 + 0.6674 + 1.1262 + 0.5604

E[X] = 2.3995

So mu = 2.3995
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Variance:

sigma^2 = Sum( P(X = xi) * (xi - E(X) )^2 )

sigma^2 = [P(X = x1)*(x1 - mu)^2] + [P(X = x2)*(x2 - mu)^2] + [P(X = x3)*(x3 - mu)^2] + [P(X = x4)*(x4 - mu)^2] + [P(X = x5)*(x5 - mu)^2]

sigma^2 = [0.1052*(0 - 2.3995)^2] + [0.0455*(1 - 2.3995)^2] + [0.3337*(2 - 2.3995)^2] + [0.3754*(3 - 2.3995)^2] + [0.1401*(4 - 2.3995)^2]

sigma^2 = [0.1052*(-2.3995)^2] + [0.0455*(-1.3995)^2] + [0.3337*(-0.3995)^2] + [0.3754*(0.6005)^2] + [0.1401*(1.6005)^2]

sigma^2 = [0.1052*(5.75760025)] + [0.0455*(1.95860025)] + [0.3337*(0.15960025)] + [0.3754*(0.36060025)] + [0.1401*(2.56160025)]

sigma^2 = 0.1052*(5.75760025) + 0.0455*(1.95860025) + 0.3337*(0.15960025) + 0.3754*(0.36060025) + 0.1401*(2.56160025)

sigma^2 = 0.6056995463 + 0.089116311375 + 0.053258603425 + 0.13536933385 + 0.358880195025

sigma^2 = 1.242323989975

So the variance is roughly 1.242323989975

So we can see that the quotient is 5x%2B2 and the remainder is 3

This means %2810x%5E2%2B19x%2B9%29%2F%282x%2B3%29+=+5x%2B2 Remainder 3

Which can also be written as %2810x%5E2%2B19x%2B9%29%2F%282x%2B3%29+=+5x%2B2%2B3%2F%282x%2B3%29

Answer 412941 by jim_thompson5910(28476) About Me  on 2012-10-09 14:36:07 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
z = (x - mu)/(sigma)

z = (3.99 - (-3.82))/(2.31)

z = (3.99 + 3.82)/(2.31)

z = (7.81)/(2.31)

z = 3.38095238095238

z = 3.38

So the answer is z = 3.38

Answer 412940 by jim_thompson5910(28476) About Me  on 2012-10-09 14:30:00 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

2x%5E3%2B4x%5E2%2B8x Start with the given expression.


2x%28x%5E2%2B2x%2B4%29 Factor out the GCF 2x.


Now let's try to factor the inner expression x%5E2%2B2x%2B4


---------------------------------------------------------------


Looking at the expression x%5E2%2B2x%2B4, we can see that the first coefficient is 1, the second coefficient is 2, and the last term is 4.


Now multiply the first coefficient 1 by the last term 4 to get %281%29%284%29=4.


Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to 4 (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient 2?


To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of 4 (the previous product).


Factors of 4:
1,2,4
-1,-2,-4


Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations.


These factors pair up and multiply to 4.
1*4 = 4
2*2 = 4
(-1)*(-4) = 4
(-2)*(-2) = 4

Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient 2:


First NumberSecond NumberSum
141+4=5
222+2=4
-1-4-1+(-4)=-5
-2-2-2+(-2)=-4



From the table, we can see that there are no pairs of numbers which add to 2. So x%5E2%2B2x%2B4 cannot be factored.


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



Answer:


So 2x%5E3%2B4x%5E2%2B8x simply factors to 2x%28x%5E2%2B2x%2B4%29


In other words, 2x%5E3%2B4x%5E2%2B8x=2x%28x%5E2%2B2x%2B4%29.

5%282x%2B3%29=2%283x%2B7%29 Start with the given equation.


10x%2B15=6x%2B14 Distribute.


10x=6x%2B14-15 Subtract 15 from both sides.


10x-6x=14-15 Subtract 6x from both sides.


4x=14-15 Combine like terms on the left side.


4x=-1 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-1%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is x=-1%2F4

5y%2B13=5%28y%2B13%29 Start with the given equation.


5y%2B13=5y%2B65 Distribute.


5y=5y%2B65-13 Subtract 13 from both sides.


5y-5y=65-13 Subtract 5y from both sides.


0y=65-13 Combine like terms on the left side.


0y=52 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=52 Simplify.


Since this equation is never true for any y value, this means that there are no solutions.
