What does the random variable for a binomial experiment of n trials measure?the random variable measures the number of successes out of n trials.the random variable measures the number of failures out of n trials. the random variable measures the standard deviation of n trials.the random variable measures the mean of n trials?

Answers

Answer 1
My answer is the random variable measures the number of successes out of n trials.

A binomial random variable is defined as the number of successes x in n repeated trials of a binomial experiment. It is more feasible to measure the number of successes than the number of failures because the more successes you have, the nearer you are to your desired goal in a binomial experiment. 
Answer 2

Answer:

The random variable measures the number of successes out of n trials.

A square pyramid has a base area of 64ft2. The pyramids total surface area is 224ft2. What is the area of each triangular face?

Answers

check the picture below.

now the base has an area of 64 ft², as shown on the picture a 8x8 base, the total surface area, meaning the triangular faces area plus the base, we know is 224 ft².

well, what's the area of the triangular faces anyway?  well, if we just subtract hte base from the total surface area, what we're left with, is the lateral area, namely the area of the triangular faces only, 224 - 64.

now, there are four equal triangular faces, divide that by 4, and that's the area of one of them, (224 - 64) / 4.

A fresh cup of coffee is placed on a table to cool. The table below shows the relationship between the temperature of the coffee, y, as it relates to time in minutes, x.



Time (minutes), x 0 1 2 3
Temperature (F°), y 200 150 112.5 84.375



Which function can be used to represent the relationship shown in the table?
y = (0.75) x
y = 0.75(200) x
y = 200(-0.75) x
y = 200(0.75) x

Answers

For this case we have a function of the form:
 [tex]y = A * (b) ^ x [/tex]
 Where,
 A: initial temperature
 b: rate of change
 x: time in minutes
 y: temperature
 We must find the values of the constants A and b.
 To do this, substituting values we have:
 [tex]200 = A * (b) ^ 0 150 = A * (b) ^ 1[/tex]
 We have a system of two equations with two unknowns.
 Dividing both equations we have:
 [tex] \frac{A * (b) ^ 1}{A * (b) ^ 0} = \frac{150}{200} [/tex]
 [tex]b = 0.75 [/tex]
 From equation 1 we have that the value of A is:
 [tex]A = 200 [/tex]
 Substituting values in the generic equation we have:
 [tex]y = 200 * (0.75) ^ x [/tex]
 Answer:
 
A function that can be used to represent the relationship shown in the table is:

Kiera wanted to find the approximate number of historical books at the library she works at. She used the computer to randomly take a sample of 80 books and found that 6 of them were considered historical books. There are 21,360 books at this library. What is the best estimate of the amount of historical books at this library?

Answers

A sample of 80 books was taken randomly using a computer and 6 of them were considered to be historical books.

It means probability of sample would be 6 out of 80 i.e. P = 6 over 80 = 0.075 or 7.5%.

It says there are 21,360 books in the library, so Population would be 21,360 books. We can use outputs of the sample survey to represent complete collection of books in the library.

So best estimate of total historical books in the library would be 7.5% of total population.

Best estimate = 7.5% of 21,360

Best estimate = 0.075 x 21,360

Best estimate = 1602 books.

Hence, there are approximately 1602 historical books in the entire library.

an athlete is training to run a marathon. she plans to run 2 miles the first week. she increases the distance by 8% each week. which function models how far she will run in the nth week?

Answers

Pls tell me I'm having a quiz with my teacher


P.S.= She is really evil
She will run 2 miles first week.

Second week she will run 2 miles + extra 8%:
first_week + 8%*first_week

Third week she will run same distance as in second + extra 8% above what she ran in second week:
second_week + 8%*second_week

Fourth week she will run same distance as in third + extra 8% above what she ran in third week:
third_week + 8%*third week

By taking out common factors we get:
Week 1: 1*2 miles
Week 2: (1+0.08) * week1
Week 3: (1+0.08) * week2
Week 4: (1+0.08) * week3

We can see that each succesive week we multiply by 1.08.
Week 1: 1*2 miles
Week 2: (1+0.08) * week1
Week 3: (1+0.08) * (1+0.08)*  week1
Week 4: (1+0.08) * (1+0.08)* (1+0.08)* week1

If we use n for a number of week we can see that factor (1+0.08) appears n-1 times. We multiply this factor so we need to put n-1 in an exponent. 
Our function is given by:

I = $1,200 * 8/100 * 240/360 =

Answers

The correct answer is:

$64.

Explanation:

We will mulitiply the first two numbers first.

We will first write 1200 as a fraction by putting it over 1:
1200/1 * 8/100.
We now multiply straight across: (1200*8)/(1*100) = 9600/100 = 96.

Now we will multiply this by the last fraction. Again we will make the whole number, 96, a fraction by placing it over 1:
(96/1)*(240/360).

Again we multiply straight across: (96*240)/(1*360)=23040/360.

When we divide this out, we get 64.

Answer:

$ 64

Step-by-step explanation:

I=$ 1200×8/100×240/360

Which could also be written as:

I=

[tex]1200\times \dfrac{8}{100}\times \dfrac{240}{360}\\ \\= 12\times 8\times \dfrac{24}{36}\\ \\=12\times 8\times \dfrac{2}{3}\\ \\=4\times 8\times 2[/tex]

In a circle with radius 4 cm the diameters AC and BD are perpendicular to each other. Prove that ABCD is a square. Find the area of ABCD.

Answers

This can be proven by using the Pythagorean theorem.    Draw a circle and label the radius 4 cm.  Then draw the diameters in to create a perpendicular intersection at the center.  If you then label the points that make the diameter, you will see that when connected they create right isosceles triangles.  a^2 + b^2 = c ^2, so 4 x 4 + 4 x 4 = c^2.  32 = c^2.  Because you are going to be multiplying it by itself to calculate the area, you have you answer of 32 square centimeters.  NO need to find the square root and them square it again!

The price has changed from $120 to $75. by how many percent did it change?

Answers

Final answer:

The price has changed by 37.5% from $120 to $75.

Explanation:

To find the percentage change, we can use the formula:

Percentage change = ((new value - old value) / old value) * 100

In this case, the old value is $120 and the new value is $75. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

Percentage change = (($75 - $120) / $120) * 100 = (-$45 / $120) * 100 = -0.375 * 100 = -37.5%

Therefore, the price has changed by 37.5%.

Final answer:

The percentage change in price from $120 to $75 is calculated by subtracting the initial price from the final price, dividing the result by the initial price, and then multiplying by 100. The price has decreased by 37.5%.

Explanation:

The question involves calculating the percentage change in price. To do this, you start by subtracting the final price ($75) from the initial price ($120) to determine the difference. In this case, the difference is $120 - $75 = $45. This represents the total change in price.

To find out the percentage change represented by this difference, you divide the difference ($45) by the original price ($120) and then multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage. This can be represented by the formula:
((Final Price - Initial Price) / Initial Price) x 100.

So, the percentage change would be calculated as follows: ((120 - 75) / 120) * 100 = 37.5%. Therefore, the price has decreased by 37.5%.

Future Value - Present Value = $2,160 - $2,000 = $160

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 19ft more than five times the length of the shorter leg. the length of the hypotenuse is 20ft more than five times the length of the shorter leg. find the side lengths of the triangle.

Answers

Let x represent the length of the shorter leg.

Longer leg: 5x +19
Hypotenuse: 5x +20

Pythagorean theorem:
.. x^2 +(5x +19)^2 = (5x +20)^2
.. x^2 +25x^2 +190x +19^2 = 25x^2 +200x +20^2 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. x^2 -10x -39 = 0
.. (x -13)(x +3) = 0
.. x = 13 . . . . . . . . . . leg lengths must be positive

The side length of the triangle are 13, 84, 85 feet.
Final answer:

This problem can be solved by creating and solving a quadratic equation based on the Pythagorean theorem. We denote the length of the shorter leg as 'x', and substitute '5x+19' and '5x+20' as lengths of the longer leg and hypotenuse in the theorem.

Explanation:

The entire problem revolves around the application of the Pythagorean theorem, which in a right-angled triangle gives the relationship a² + b² = c², were a and b are the lengths of the shorter sides (legs) and c is the length of the longest side (hypotenuse).

Let's denote the length of the shorter leg as 'x'. From the problem, we know that the longer leg is 5x+19 and the hypotenuse is 5x+20. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

((5x+19)² + x²) = (5x+20)².

You can solve this equation to find out the value of 'x', following which you can substitute this value back into 5x+19 and 5x+20 to find lengths of the longer leg and hypotenuse.

What triangle has 0 reflectional symmetries?

Answers

Answer:

A. right scalene triangle

Final answer:

A triangle with 0 reflectional symmetries is a scalene triangle. Equilateral triangles, such as those on an icosahedron, have multiple symmetries. Symmetry in different contexts, like physics and chemistry, can result in a net effect of zero.

Explanation:

A triangle that has 0 reflectional symmetries is a scalene triangle, where all three sides and all three angles are of different lengths and magnitudes, respectively. An equilateral triangle, like the ones that form the faces of an icosahedron, has multiple lines of symmetry because of its equal sides and angles. On another note, in vector algebra, a null vector has all components equal to zero, which implies it has no direction or magnitude. Similarly, the molecular geometry of BF3 is described as trigonal planar and possesses symmetry, resulting in a net dipole moment of zero despite having polar B-F bonds.

In physics-related symmetry, charges or forces can cancel each other out leading to a net force of zero. For instance, if equal charges are placed at the corners of a square with a charge at the center, the net Coulomb force on the center charge will be zero due to the symmetry. Similarly, in collisions, certain angles or scenarios can result in a term becoming zero, like having a head-on collision where the incoming ball stops (v1 = 0), or the balls deflect at a 90-degree angle resulting in cos(θ1 - θ2) being zero.

P= perimeter= 156
L= length
W= width= L-12

P= 2(L + W)
plug in the information you know
156= 2(L + (L-12))
156= 2(2L-12)
multiply 2 by everything in parentheses
156= 4L-24
add 24 to both sides
180= 4L
divide both sides by 4
45 = L


W= L-12
W= 45-12
W= 33


Check:
P= 2(L + W)
156= 2(45+33)
156= 2(78)
156= 156

Hope this helps! :)

Anna is buying trim to go around her rug. Her rug measures 54 inches by 42 inches. How many inches of trim will Anna need to buy

Mary had some cookies.she gave 2/9 of them to matthew and ate 1/3 of them. she had 8 cookies left. how many did she have at first?

Answers

2/9 + 3/9 = 5/9. If 4/9 is eight cookies than 5/9 is 10. So, she had a total of 18 cookies to begin with
Final answer:

Mary originally had 18 cookies. This is determined by creating and solving a ratio based on the fractions of cookies Mary had left after giving some away and eating some.

Explanation:

The subject of this question is mathematics and it involves fractions. We can think of Mary's original number of cookies as 1 whole or 100%. We're told she gave away 2/9 of them and ate 1/3 of them, which means she hasn't touched 1 - 2/9 - 1/3 of the cookies.

First, we calculate the common denominator, which is 9. So, we must convert 1/3 to 3/9. Now, we have 1 whole - 2/9 - 3/9. This addition simplifies to: 9/9 - 2/9 - 3/9 = 4/9.

The 4/9 is equal to the 8 cookies she has left over. To find the original amount of cookies, we set up the following ratio: 4/9 = 8/x. Solve this ratio for x (which represents Mary's original number of cookies) by cross multiplying: 4x = 72. Divide both sides by 4 to get: x = 18 cookies.
