Answer:

The average rate of change of rainfall in the rainforest between 2nd year and 6th year = <u>3 inches</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function representing inches of rainfall:

$f(x)=3(x-2)+4$

To find the average rate of change between the 2nd year and the 6th year.

Solution:

The average rate of change between interval $[a,b]$ is given as :

$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

For the given function we need to find the average rate of change between 2nd year and 6th year. $[2,6]$

So, we have:

$f(2)=3(2-2)+4=3(0)+4=4$

$f(6)=3(6-2)+4=3(4)+4=12+4=16$

Thus, average rate of change will be:

$\frac{f(6)-f(2)}{6-2}$

⇒ $\frac{16-4}{6-2}$

⇒ $\frac{12}{4}$

⇒ $3$

Thus, the average rate of change of rainfall in the rainforest between 2nd year and 6th year = 3 inches

The prior probabilities for events A1 and A2 are P(A1) = 0.30 and P(A2) = 0.55. It is also known that P(A1 ∩ A2) = 0. Suppose P(

k0ka [10]

We're given the following probabilities:

$P(A_1)=0.30$

$P(A_2)=0.55$

$P(A_1\cap A_2)=0$

$P(B\mid A_1)=0.20$

$P(B\mid A_2)=0.05$

(a) Yes, $A_1$ and $A_2$ are mutually exclusive. This is exactly what zero probability of their intersection means. The two events cannot occur simultaneously.

(b) Use the definition of conditional probability to expand:

$P(A_1\cap B)=P(A_1)P(B\mid A_1)=0.30\cdot0.20=0.06$

$P(A_2\cap B)=P(A_2)P(B\mid A_2)=0.55\cdot0.05=0.0275$

(c) By the law of total probability,

$P(B)=P(A_1\cap B)+P(A_2\cap B)=0.06+0.0275=0.0875$

(d) Bayes' theorem says

$P(A_1\mid B)=\dfrac{P(A_1)P(B\mid A_1)}{P(B)}=\dfrac{0.30\cdot0.20}{0.0875}\approx0.686$

$P(A_2\mid B)=\dfrac{P(A_2)P(B\mid A_2)}{P(B)}=\dfrac{0.55\cdot0.05}{0.0875}\approx0.314$

scores on the act college entrance exam follow a bell-shaped distribution with mean 18 and standard deviation 6. Wayne's standar

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

His actual score is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating Wayne’s actual score on the ACT

when we say the scores have being standardized, it means the score was reported in terms of the z-score and not the initial raw scores.

Now, mathematically, for the scores to have a negative z-score, it means it is actually below the mean.

The formula for the z-score or standard score is given below;

z-score = (x - mean)/SD

where in this case, x = ? which is the score we are looking for , z-score = -0.5 , mean score = 18 and standard deviation of the scores = 6

So, substituting these values into the z-score equation, we have;

-0.5 = (x-18)/6

x-18 = 6(-0.5)

x -18 = -3

x = -3 + 18

x = 15

Fofino [41]

Answer:

9 (2p + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

(18p + 9)

GCF = 9

so, divide everything by 9

Find the exact length of the curve. x=et+e−t, y=5−2t, 0≤t≤2 For a curve given by parametric equations x=f(t) and y=g(t), arc len

Rama09 [41]

The length of a curve <em>C</em> parameterized by a vector function <em>r</em><em>(t)</em> = <em>x(t)</em> i + <em>y(t)</em> j over an interval <em>a</em> ≤ <em>t</em> ≤ <em>b</em> is

$\displaystyle\int_C\mathrm ds = \int_a^b \sqrt{\left(\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2+\left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2} \,\mathrm dt$

In this case, we have

<em>x(t)</em> = exp(<em>t</em> ) + exp(-<em>t</em> ) ==> d<em>x</em>/d<em>t</em> = exp(<em>t</em> ) - exp(-<em>t</em> )

<em>y(t)</em> = 5 - 2<em>t</em> ==> d<em>y</em>/d<em>t</em> = -2

and [<em>a</em>, <em>b</em>] = [0, 2]. The length of the curve is then

$\displaystyle\int_0^2 \sqrt{\left(e^t-e^{-t}\right)^2+(-2)^2} \,\mathrm dt = \int_0^2 \sqrt{e^{2t}-2+e^{-2t}+4}\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2 \sqrt{e^{2t}+2+e^{-2t}} \,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\sqrt{\left(e^t+e^{-t}\right)^2} \,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\left(e^t+e^{-t}\right)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\left(e^t-e^{-t}\right)\bigg|_0^2 = \left(e^2-e^{-2}\right)-\left(e^0-e^{-0}\right) = \boxed{e^2-\frac1{e^2}}$
