2/5 = x/340,000

Multiply 2 by 340,000 to get 680,000

Then, 680,000 divided by 5 results in 136,000

Consequently, x = 136,000

This means 136,000 cows were between 700 and 799 pounds

A total of 340,000 cattle were placed on feed

What portion of the 340,000 cattle placed on feed fell within the weight range of 700 to 799 pounds?

The fraction representing the total cattle weighing 700 - 799 pounds is 2/5

Let x denote the count of cattle within the 700 - 799 pound range

We can set up a proportion using this fraction

\frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{340,000}

We cross-multiply to solve for x

340000 * 2 = 5x

680000 = 5x

Dividing both sides by 5 gives us

Thus, x= 136,000

So, there are 136,000 cattle in the weight bracket of 700 and 799 pounds

Assume that 12 people, including the husband and wife pair, apply for 4 sales positions. People are hired at random.
Inessa [9006]

The formula C(n, r)= \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}, where r! is defined as 1*2*3*...r

provides the total number of combinations for forming groups of r items from a collection of n items.

For instance, with 10 items, there are C(10,6) possible ways to create groups of 6 from these 10 objects.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Choosing 4 individuals from a total of 12 can be accomplished in:

\displaystyle{C(12, 4)= \frac{12!}{4!8!}= \frac{12\cdot11\cdot10\cdot9\cdot8!}{4!8!}= \frac{12\cdot11\cdot10\cdot9}{4!}=11\cdot5\cdot9= 495 many different ways.


All unique groupings of 4 individuals, including the husband and wife pair, can be computed as C(10, 2) ways, since we only consider the potential selections of 2 from 10 individuals to form a group of 4.


\displaystyle{ C(10, 2)= \frac{10!}{2!8!}= \frac{10\cdot9}{2}=45


Consequently, the probability that both the husband and wife are selected is 45/495=0.09


Part 2)

The chance that one gets selected while the other does not =

P(husband selected, wife not selected) + P(wife selected, husband not selected)

These two scenarios are precisely equal, so it suffices to compute one.


Let's analyze the scenario: husband chosen, wife not selected.

Assuming the husband is selected, we need to determine the possible formations of 3 from the 11 total excluding the wife=10 individuals.

This results in:

\displaystyle{ C(10, 3)= \frac{10!}{3!7!}= \frac{10 \cdot9 \cdot8}{3\cdot2}=10\cdot3\cdot4=120


Hence,


P(husband selected, wife not selected)=120/495=0.24


Thus, the overall probability that one is picked while the other is not =

P(husband selected, wife not selected) + P(wife selected, husband not selected) =

0.24+0.24=0.48



Result:


A) 0.09


B) 0.48

A credit card contains 16 digits between 0 and 9. However, only 100 million numbers are valid. If a number is entered randomly,
PIT_PIT [9121]

Answer:

P(valid) = 1 * 10^{-8}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate how many potential credit card numbers can be created using the digits 0 through 9.

We aim to create a number that consists of 16 digits from a total of 10 digits, therefore:

N = 10^{16}

The total count of possible numbers formed is 10^{16}. However, only 100 million of these are valid (100 * 10^6 = 10^8). Let n represent the valid number of combinations.

This leads us to the probability of selecting a valid number:

P(valid) = n / N

P(valid) = 10^{8} / 10^{16}\\\\P(valid) = 1 * 10^{-8}

Find a vector parametrization of the ellipse centered at the origin in the xy-plane that has major diameter 8 along the x-axis,
zzz [9093]

Answer:

E(t) = [ 4cos(t), 2 sin(t) ]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the ellipse can be represented as:

 (x² ÷ a² ) + (y² ÷ b² ) = 1    Here, a and b symbolize the semi-major and semi-minor axes.

In this specific instance, we have    x²/16 + y²/ 4 = 1

This expression indicates that it follows the form of (x/a)² + (y/b)² =1

Specifically in our case,    x²/16  + y²/4 = 1, which resembles                 sin²α + cos²α = 1.

By setting x = 4 cos(t), we can proceed to calculate y.

Utilizing the equation x²/16  + y²/4 = 1, we find that:

x²/16  + y²/4 = 1   ⇒    (x²  +  4y²) ÷ 16  = 1

Solving for y yields: (x²  +  4y²)  = 16    ⇒  y²  = ( 16 - x²) ÷4

Substituting x = 4 cos(t) gives us y²  =  (16 - 16cos²(t)) ÷ 4, leading to y = √4 (1 - cos²(t)).

Consequently, we have y = 2 sin(t).

Thus, the vector parameterization of the ellipse can be stated as:

E(t) = [ 4cos(t), 2 sin(t) ]
