Each time a hurricane arrives, a new home has a 0.4 probability of experiencing damage. The occurrences of damage in different hurricanes are mutually independent. a. Calculate the probability that there will be at least two hurricanes from which the home will experience no damage before the second hurricane from which the home will experience damage. b. Calculate the probability that the home will experience its second damage from the fourth hurricane, given that the home has not experienced two damages from the first two hurricanes. c. Calculate the mode of the number of hurricanes it takes for the home to experience damage from three hurricanes.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the binomial distribution, we find that:

a) There is a 0.648 = 64.8% probability that there will be at least two hurricanes from which the home will experience no damage before the second hurricane from which the home will experience damage.

b) There is a 0.1728 = 17.28% probability that the home will experience its second damage from the fourth hurricane, given that the home has not experienced two damages from the first two hurricanes.

c) The mode is of 7.5 hurricanes.

For each hurricane, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it causes damage, or it does not. The probability of the home experiencing damage from a hurricane is independent of any other hurricane, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

It gives the probability of exactly x successes on n trials, with p probability.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]  

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

The mode of the number of trials needed for q successes is given by:

[tex]M = \frac{q}{p}}[/tex]

In this problem, there is a 0.4 probability of experiencing damage from a hurricane, thus [tex]p = 0.4[/tex].

Item a:

This is the probability of at most 1 damage in 3 hurricanes, which is:

[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]

With [tex]n = 3[/tex].

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.4)^{0}.(0.6)^{3} = 0.216[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{3,1}.(0.4)^{1}.(0.6)^{2} = 0.432[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.216 + 0.432 = 0.648[/tex]

0.648 = 64.8% probability that there will be at least two hurricanes from which the home will experience no damage before the second hurricane from which the home will experience damage.

Item b:

1 in the first three, with 0.432 probability.Damage in the fourth, with 0.4 probability.

Then

[tex]0.432(0.4) = 0.1728[/tex]

0.1728 = 17.28% probability that the home will experience its second damage from the fourth hurricane, given that the home has not experienced two damages from the first two hurricanes.

Item c:

Damage from 3 hurricanes, thus q = 3.

Then:

[tex]M = \frac{3}{0.4}} = 7.5[/tex]

The mode is of 7.5 hurricanes.

Find the value of y' when x
O if
xy^8 + e^y/5 =
= e.

Answers

It looks like the given equation says

[tex]xy^8 + e^{y/5} = e[/tex]

When x = 0, you have

[tex]0\cdot y^8 + e^{y/5} = e \\\\ e^{y/5} = e^1 \\\\ \dfrac y5 = 1 \\\\ y=5[/tex]

Differentiating both sides with respect to x gives

[tex]\left(xy^8 + e^{y/5}\right)' = e' \\\\ \left(xy^8\right)' + \left(e^{y/5}\right)' = 0 \\\\ x\left(y^8\right)' + x'y^8 + e^{y/5}\left(\dfrac y5\right)' = 0 \\\\ 8xy^7y' + y^8 + \dfrac15e^{y/5}y' = 0[/tex]

That is, the derivative operator distributes over sums, and the derivative of a constant is 0; apply the product rule on the first term and chain rule on the second; then use chain rule one more time.

Now plug in x = 0 and y = 5, and solve for y' :

[tex]8\cdot0\cdot5^7y' + 5^8 + \dfrac15e^{5/5}y' = 0 \\\\ 5^8 + \dfrac15e y' = 0 \\\\ \dfrac15e y' = -5^8 \\\\ y' = \boxed{-\dfrac{5^9}e}[/tex]

What were some of their hardships in r obstacles that Martin Luther king jr had in their life?
In your own words

Answers

Answer: I would say that some of the Three challenges Martin Luther King Jr. faced in the battle for equal rights included the opposition of "good" white people to his tactics, his realization that the only way to win civil rights was to proceed nonviolently, and pushback against his plan in the late 1960s to unite Black people and white people in a war on poverty.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Martin Luther king faced many hardships and challenges in the duration of his life. His right to freedom of speech was violated constantly, resulting in him to get arrested, threatened, bombed, and even stabbed. He was targeted by people who didn’t want change. They wanted things to stay the way they were, where segregation was enforced, and the inequality of races continued. Although he was a subject to violence all his life, he never gave up and his dream impacted the world and became a reality.

Right triangle CDE has its right angle at vertex
D. The length of DE is 8 feet and the length of
CE is 17 feet. What is the length, in feet, of CD?
A) 11
B) 12
C) 14
D) 15

Answers

The answer is A 11 feet

The length of the side CD which is the base of the right triangle CDE is 15 feet which is option D.

We have,

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the length of the height CD in the right triangle CDE.

Where CE is the hypotenuse and De is the base.

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

In this case, we have:

CD² + DE² = CE²

Plugging in the given lengths:

CD² + 8² = 17²

CD² + 64 = 289

CD² = 289 - 64

CD² = 225

CD = √225

CD = √15²

CD = 15

Thus,

The length of the side CD which is the base of the right triangle CDE is D. 15 feet.

q(x)= 1/2x - 3; q(x) =-4. Find the value of x

Answers

Answer:

[tex]q(x) =-5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

I am solving this using Function Notation.

We are given:

[tex]q(x)= \frac{1}{2}x - 3[/tex]

While we are to find:

[tex]q(x) =-4[/tex]

In Function Notation, replace all the "[tex]x[/tex]" you see with the value you are given.

So, in this case,

[tex]q(x)= \frac{1}{2}x - 3\\\\=\frac{1}{2}x - 3[/tex]

Would become

[tex]q(x)= \frac{1}{2}x - 3\\\\=\frac{1}{2}(-4) - 3[/tex]

Now we can solve.

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(-4) - 3[/tex]

Use PEMDAS; Parenthesis first;

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(-\frac{4}{1})[/tex]

Cross divide: 1 cancels 1, -4 ÷ 2 = -2

Hence, we are left with

[tex](-2) - 3[/tex]

[tex]-5[/tex]

Therefore, the value of x is -5

Two friends go out to eat and order the same meal. They pay a 6% sales tax and a 20% tip on their meals. The total bill, including tax and tip, is $27.72. How much did each meal cost before tax and tip? (Assume that the friends pay a tip on the cost of the meals only.) IF CORRECT I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!

Answers

Sales tax and tip will increase the price of an item.

The cost of each meal is: $10.89

Let the cost of both meals be x.

A 20% tip means that, the current price is:

[tex]Price = x \times (1 + 20\%)[/tex]

A 6% sales tax on the meal means that, the current price is:

[tex]Price = x \times (1 + 20\%) \times (1 + 6\%)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Price = x \times (1 + 0.20) \times (1 + 0.06)[/tex]

[tex]Price = x \times (1.20) \times (1.06)[/tex]

[tex]Price = x \times 1.272[/tex]

The amount paid is $27.72

So, the equation becomes

[tex]27.72= x \times 1.272[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]x = \frac{27.72}{1.272}[/tex]

[tex]x = 21.78[/tex]

So, the cost of each meal is:

[tex]Each= \frac{21.78}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Each= 10.89[/tex]

Hence, the cost of each meal is: $10.89

y = -0.109569028(x + 7)² + 54

b. It's been the above vertex equation for a parabola then

set y = 40 equal to the parabolic equation, we get

40 = -0.109569028x² - 1.533966392x + 48.631117628

solve for x we get

x = -18.3036867393939 or ~ 18.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a(x - h)² + k

(h, k) = vertex = (-7, 54)

x = h is the axis of symmetry -7

y = a(x -(-7))² + 54

y = a(x + 7)² + 54

solve for a by inputting the point (15.2, 0)

0 = a(15.2 + 7)² + 54

-54 = a(22.2)²

-54 = 492.84a

The main explaination for this is to take your denominator -- your bottom number of the fraction -- and divide it by the denominator to which you're trying to compare it to. Multiply your numerator to the compared to find your full fraction.

For example, say the fraction is 1/2. You're trying to figure out it's equivalent through the pair _/100. Take your 100 and divide it by 2, your other denominator, which leaves you with 50. Take the 50 and multiply it by the compared numirator to find your full fraction, which in this case is 50/100.
