For what values of a are the following expressions true?
1. |a-5|=5-a
2.|a|=-a

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. a = 0 and 5

2. no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

For absolute value, it's the distance from that number on the number line to 0, so it has to be positive. We define absolute value as when |a| = b, a = b and a = -b.

1. |a - 5| = 5 - a

a - 5 = 5 - a

2a = 10

a = 5

AND

a - 5 = -(5 - a)

a - 5 = -5 + a

-5 = -5

a = 0 (a could work as 0 in this scenario)

Thus our solutions are a = 0 and 5.

2. |a| = -1

Now we have to catch ourselves here. Since absolute value is always positive, nothing works. There is no negative distance to 0 (at least in real numbers).  Hence, we can say that there are no solutions.

Two flower seeds are randomly selected from a package that contains 8 seeds for red flowers and 9 seeds for white flowers. (Give your answer correct to three decimal places.)
(a) What is the probability that both seeds will result in red flowers?

Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.


(b) What is the probability that one of each color is selected?


(c) What is the probability that both seeds are for white flowers?

Answers

Using the hypergeometric distribution, it is found that the probabilities are given as follows:

a) 0.2059 = 20.59%.

b) 0.5294 = 52.94%.

c) 0.2647 = 26.47%.

What is the hypergeometric distribution formula?

The formula is:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.N is the size of the population.n is the size of the sample.k is the total number of desired outcomes.

In this problem, the parameters are as follows: N = 17, k = 8, n = 2.

Item a:

This probbility is P(X = 2), hence:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = h(2,17,2,2) = \frac{C_{8,2}C_{9,0}}{C_{17,2}} = 0.2059[/tex]

Item b:

This probbility is P(X = 1), hence:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = h(1,17,2,2) = \frac{C_{8,1}C_{9,1}}{C_{17,2}} = 0.5294[/tex]

Item c:

This probbility is P(X = 0), hence:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = h(0,17,2,2) = \frac{C_{8,0}C_{9,2}}{C_{17,2}} = 0.2647[/tex]

A chocolatier makes chocolate bon-bons in the shape of a sphere with a radius of 2cm. The chocolate used in the bon-bons has a density of 1.31 g/cm^3. If the chocolate
used costs $0.06 per gram, how much would the chocolate for 140 bon-bons cost, to
the nearest cent?

Answers

We will get the mass of each chocolate sphere, and the cost of 140 of these is $368.56

How much would it cost?

A sphere of radius R has a volume:

V = (4/3)*3.14*R^3

The mass of a sphere of chocolate will be given by the volume times the density, then one ball of chocolate has a mass:

M = (4/3)*3.14*(2cm)^3*(1.31 g/cm^3) = 43.88 g

And we know that the cost is of $0.06 per gram, the cost for 140 of these spheres is:

cost = 140*(44.88 g)*$0.06 = $368.56

The thickness of photoresist applied towafers in a semiconductor manufacturing at a particular location onthe wafer is uniformly distributed between 0.2050 and 0.2150micrometers.(a) Determine the cumulative distributionfunction of photoresist thickness.(b) Determine the proportion of wafers that exceeds0.2125 micrometers in photoresist thickness.(c) What thickness is exceeded by 10% of thewafers?(d) Determine the mean and variance of photoresistthickness.

Answers

Answer:

a

  [tex]f(x)= 100 [x - 0.2050][/tex]

b

 [tex]P(X > 0.2125) =  0.25 [/tex]

c

  [tex]a = 0.2140[/tex]

d

Mean [tex]\mu  = 0.21[/tex]

Variance  [tex]\sigma ^2  =  0.0000083 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The thickness of photoresist follows a uniform distribution

So

     [tex]X\   \~{}\ U \{  0.2050 , 0.2150 \}[/tex]

Generally the probability density function  is mathematically represented as

[tex]F(x) =  \left \{  \frac{1}{ 0.2150 - 02050} , 0.2150< x < 0.2150[/tex]

=>  [tex]F(x) =  \left \{   100 , 0.2150< x < 0.2150[/tex]

Generally the cumulative distribution function is

   [tex]f(x) =  \int\limits^{x}_{- \infty} {F(x)} \, dx[/tex]

Here [tex]- \infty[/tex] means the lower limit which in this case is  02050

So

    [tex]f(x) =  \int\limits^{x}_{0.2050} {100} \, dx[/tex]

    [tex]f(x) =  100 \int\limits^{x}_{0.2050} {1} \, dx[/tex]

=>   [tex] f(x)=100 [ x ] | \left \ x} \atop {0.2050}} \right.[/tex]

=>   [tex]f(x)= 100 [x - 0.2050][/tex]

Generally the proportion of wafers that exceeds 0.2125 is mathematically represented as

     [tex]P(X > 0.2125) =  1 - F(0.2125)[/tex]

=>  [tex]P(X > 0.2125) =  1- 100[0.2125 - 0.2050][/tex]

=>   [tex]P(X > 0.2125) =  0.25 [/tex]

Generally the thickness which is exceeded by 10% of the wafers is mathematically represented as

       [tex]P(X  > a ) =  0.10[/tex]

=>    [tex]1 - F(a) = 0.10[/tex]

=>     [tex]1 -100 (a - 0.2050) = 0.10[/tex]

=>     [tex]100(a -0.2050) =  0.90[/tex]

=>   [tex]a - 0.2050 =  0.009[/tex]

=>   [tex]a = 0.2140[/tex]

Generally the mean is mathematically represented as  

     [tex]\mu  =  \frac{ 0.2050 -0.2150 }{2}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\mu  = 0.21[/tex]

Generally the variance  is mathematically represented as

    [tex]\sigma ^2  =  \frac{1}{12} [0.2150 - 0.2050]^2[/tex]

=>  [tex]\sigma ^2  =  0.0000083 [/tex]

Answers

Answer: Choice DA line is a figure formed by two opposite rays with a shared endpointA line segment is a portion of a line consisting of two points and all points between them.

Explanation:

Basically a line goes on forever in both directions. A ray only goes off forever in one direction. If we glue together two rays that point in complete opposite directions (eg 1 points north, the other points south) then we form a line.

A line segment is a piece of a line. It doesn't go on forever in either direction. It has 2 endpoints and has a set fixed length. If you know the coordinates of each endpoint, you can use the distance formula to find that length.

Each potential buyer is randomly assigned a type and length of commercial to view. What are the factors of interest to the manufacturer

Answer:

The correct response will be "whether or not the viewer will buy the product".

Step-by-step explanation:

To consider its clients, the manufacturer requires conducting this research, but the only element of interest would be to figure out whether or not the consumer purchases the product after seeing the ad. The response variable or perhaps the predictor variables determine "not if the audience can buy the advertisement" as well as "whether another advertisement becomes 30 or 60 seconds" including "not when the commercial involves a brand personality" have become the explanatory variables or even just the relationship between the independent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = lwh/3

              =  588/3

              = 196

The volume of a square pyramid is 196 cubic units.

What is the volume?

Volume is the measure of the capacity that an object holds.

Formula to find the volume of the object is Volume = Area of a base × Height.

From the given figure, side of square base is 7 units and height is 12 units.

We know that, the volume of square based pyramid =a²h/3.

Now, volume of a pyramid = 1/3 ×7²×12

= 49×4

= 196 cubic units

Therefore, the volume of a square pyramid is 196 cubic units.
