A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires. Given its specific needs, the management feels that there is a 60% chance of hiring at least two candidates. There is only a 6% chance that it will not make any hires and a 16% chance that it will make all three hires.
Required:
a. What is the probability that the firm will make at least one hire?
b. Find the expected value and the standard deviation of the number of hires.
Answer:
a. 0.94 = 94% probability that the firm will make at least one hire.
b. The expected value of the number of hires is 1.7, and the standard deviation is 0.8062.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is only a 6% chance that it will not make any hires
This means that P(X = 0) = 0.06.
16% chance that it will make all three hires.
This means that [tex]P(X = 3) = 0.16[/tex]
60% chance of hiring at least two candidates.
This means that:
[tex]P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.6[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) + 0.16 = 0.6[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = 0.44[/tex]
Probability of one hire:
The sum of all probabilities, from no hires to three hires, is 1. So
[tex]P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 1[/tex]
[tex]0.06 + P(X = 1) + 0.16 + 0.44 = 1[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = 0.66 = 1[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = 0.34[/tex]
a. What is the probability that the firm will make at least one hire?
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.06 = 0.94[/tex]
0.94 = 94% probability that the firm will make at least one hire.
b. Find the expected value and the standard deviation of the number of hires.
Expected value:
[tex]E(X) = 0.06*0 + 0.34*1 + 0.44*2 + 0.16*3 = 1.7[/tex]
Standard deviation:
[tex]S(X) = \sqrt{0.06*(0-1.7)^2 + 0.34*(1-1.7)^2 + 0.44*(2-1.7)^2 + 0.16*(3-1.7)^2} = 0.8062[/tex]
The expected value of the number of hires is 1.7, and the standard deviation is 0.8062.
The sea ice area around the North Pole fluctuates between about 6 million square kilometers in September to 14 million square kilometers in March. Assuming sinusoidal fluctuation, during how many months are there less than 9 million square kilometers of sea ice?
Answer:
there are approximately 5.035 months when there is less than 9 million square meters of sea ice around the North Pole in a year.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Let S(t) represent the amount sea ice around the North Pole in millions of square meters at a given time t,
t is the number of months since January.
Now, we use a cosine curve to model this scenario
Vertical shift will be;
D = ( 6 + 14 ) / 2 = 20 / 2
D = 10
Next is the Amplitude;
|A| = ( 6 - 14 ) / 2
|A| = 4
Now, the horizontal stretch factor will be;
B = 2π / 12
B = π/6
Hence;
S(t) = 4cos( π/6 × t ) + 10 ----------- let this be equation 1
Now we find when there will be less than 9 million square meters of sea ice;
S(t) = 9
so we have
9 = 4cos( π/6 × (t-2) ) + 10
9 - 10 = 4cos( π/6 × (t-2) )
-1 = 4cos( π/6 × (t-2) )
-1/4 = cos( π/6 × (t-2) )
so we have;
cos⁻¹( -1/4 ) = π/6 × (t₁-2) -------- let this be equation 2
2π - cos⁻¹( -1/4 ) = π/6 × (t₂-2) -------- let this be equation 3
so we solve equation 2 and 3
we have'
t₁ - t₂ = 6/π × ( 2π - cos⁻¹( -1/4 ) - cos⁻¹( -1/4 ) )
t₁ - t₂ = 6/π × ( 2π - 2cos⁻¹( -1/4 )
t₁ - t₂ = 6/π × ( π - cos⁻¹( -1/4 )
t₁ - t₂ = 6/π × ( π - 104.4775 )
t₁ - t₂ = 6/π × ( π - 104.4775 )
t₁ - t₂ = 5.035
therefore, there are approximately 5.035 months when there is less than 9 million square meters of sea ice around the North Pole in a year.

Use Newton's method to app a root of the equation 3x^7+2x^4+3=0
Let x1=1 be the initial approximation
Second approx. x2 is?
Third approx x3 is?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
x2 = .72413793x3 = .087249546Step-by-step explanation:
Modern graphing calculators have a derivative function available, so using a calculator to find the next value of x is pretty simple.
The Newton's Method iterator for finding the next approximation to the root (x') is ...
x' = x -f(x)/f'(x) . . . . . where f'(x) is the derivative of f(x).
The attachment shows the first 3 iterations (4 approximations). We observe that the starting point is pretty far from the root, and on the wrong side of some wiggles in the function, so convergence is pretty slow.
The desired approximations are shown above and in the table below.
__
Additional comment
To 12 significant figures, the only real root is −1.10305899649. When the calculator can interactively produce a next guess, you can type the next guess value into the iterator function even as it is showing you the next value. This lets you find the best-precision result as fast as you can type it.
For a calculator like a TI-84, the iterator function can make repeated use of "Ans" as an argument. It usually doesn't take more than 3 or 4 iterations to get a best-precision result, since the number of good decimal places is about doubled on each iteration. (Of course, you have to start with a better approximation than the one given in this problem.)

A ball is launched straight up in the air from a height of 6 feet. Its velocity (feet/second) t seconds after launch is given by f(t)= -34t+291.
Between 1 second and 8 seconds, the ball's height changed by ... feet.
(Round answer to the nearest tenth.)
Answer:
966 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can see that we have the velocity function given, a base value for the height, and need to figure out the change in height. We also know that velocity is the derivative of position/height. Thus, we can find the integral of the velocity to find an equation for the height.
[tex]\int\limits^1_0 {-34t+291} \, dt\\[/tex]
Use the exponent rule to turn -34t into -17t² and 291 into 291t to get our result as
-17t²+291t + C = height (h)
When t=0, we know that our height (h) is 6, so C = 6, making our equation
-17t²+291t + 6
To find the change between 1 second and 8 seconds, we can plug 1 and 8 in for t, and find the difference between those values, which is
(-17(8)²+291(8) + 6) - ( -17(1)²+291(1) + 6 )
= 1246 - 280
= 966
Note that we did final value (t = 8) - initial value (t=1), not the other way around
The change in height, between 1 second and 8 seconds, is therefore 966 feet

A team of researchers want to measure the distance covered while driving compared to a car's driving speed. Which statement is correct?
a. The speed of the car is a confounding variable.
b. The speed of the car is an explanatory variable.
c. The speed of the car is a response variable.
d. The speed of the car is a dependent variable.
Answer:
b. The speed of the car is an explanatory variable
Step-by-step explanation:
In the scenario above, the variable which the researcher intends to measure is the a distance covered by a car using the speed information available. The measured variable is the dependent variable as it outcome depends on the variable with which it is being measured, this is called the independent or explanatory variable.
Therefore, car speed is the explanatory or independent variable
Distance is the dependent, response or measured variable.

Susan really loves the lemon-flavored Fruity Tooty candies, but there always seems to be a lot of grape-flavored candies in each bag. To determine whether this is because grape candies are so popular or because each bag contains fewer lemon candies, Susan randomly picks a Fruity Tooty candy from her bag, records its flavor, and places it back in the bag. Each bag contains a mixture of cherry, grape, apple, lemon, and orange flavors. Which statement about Susan's distribution of sample proportions is true?
a. The distribution of the count of picking a cherry candy cannot be modeled as approximately normal if Susan picks candies over 200 times.
b. The distribution of apple candy can be modeled as normal if Susan picks candies over 75 times.
c. The sample proportion of drawing an orange candy is not a binomial distribution.
d. The distribution of lemon candy can be modeled as normal if Susan picks candies 10 times.
Option B, The distribution of apple candy can be modeled as normal if Susan picks candies over 75 times
Step-by-step explanation:
The distribution of apple candies can be represented as normal curve and hence the sample proportion for this is true and can be drawn.
The rest other cases do not represent a normal distribution and hence it will not be easy to plot curve for these samples.
hence, option B is correct

A semi-circle sits on top of a rectangle to form the figure below. Find its area and perimeter. Use 3.14 for
Answer:
Perimeter: 18.28
Area: 22.28
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Approach
An easy method that can be used to solve the given problem is the partition the given figure into two smaller figures. One can divide this figure into a square and a semi-circle. After doing so, one can find the area of the semi-circle and the area of the square. Finally, one can add the two area together to find the final total area. To find the perimeter of the figure, one can add the lengths of three of the sides of the square and then one can add half of the circumference of the circle to the result. The final value will be the perimeter of the entire figure.
2. Find the circumference of the semi-circle
The circumference of a circle is the two-dimensional distance around the outer edge of a circle, in essence the length of the arc around a circle. The formula to find the circumference of a circle is as follows,
C = 2(pi)r
Since a semi-circle is half of a circle, the formula to find its circumference is the following,
C = (pi)
Where (pi) is the numerical value (3.1415) and (r) is the radius of the circle. By its definition, the radius of a circle is the distance from a point on the circle to the center of the circle. This value will always be half of the diameter, that is the distance from one end of the circle to the other, passing through the center of the circle. The radius of a circle is always half of the diameter, thus the radius of this semi-circle is (2). Substitute this into the formula and solve for the circumference;
C = (pi)r
C = (pi)2
C ~ 6.28
3. Find the area of the semi-circle
The formula to find the area of a circle is as follows,
A = (\pi)(r^2)
As explained earlier, a semi-circle is half of a circle, therefore, divide this formula by (2) to find the formula for the area of a semi-circle
A = ((pi)r^2)/(2)
The radius of this circle is (2), substitute this into the formula and solve for the area of a semi-circle;
A = ((pi)r^2)/(2)
A = ((pi)(2^2))/(2)
A = (pi)2
A = 6.28
4. Find the area and perimeter of the square,
The perimeter of a figure is the two-dimensional distance around the figure. Since the semi-circle is attached to one of the sides of a square, one only needs to add three sides of the square to find the perimeter of the square;
P = 4+4+4
P = 12
The area of a square can be found by multiplying the length by the width of the square.
A = l*w
Substitute,
A = 4*4
A=16
5. Find the area and the perimeter of the figure,
To find the perimeter of the figure, add the value of the circumference to the vlalue of the perimeter of the square;
A = C+P
A = 6.28+12
A = 18.28
To find the area of the figure, add the value of the area of the circle to the area of the square;
A = 6.28+16
A = 22.28
