New legislation passed in 2017 by the U.S. Congress changed tax laws that affect how many people file their taxes in 2018 and beyond. These tax law changes will likely lead many people to seek tax advice from their accountants (The New York Times). Backen and Hayes LLC is an accounting firm in New York state. The accounting firms believe that it may have to hire additional accountants to assist with the increased demand in tax advice for the upcoming tax season. Backen and Hayes LLC has developed the following probability distribution for x= number of new clients seeking tax advice.x f(x)20 .0525 .2030 .2535 .1540 .1545 .1050 .10a. Is this a valid probability distribution? Explain.b. What is the probability that Backens and Hayes LLC will obtain 40 or more new clients?c. What is the probability that Backens and Hayes LLC will obtain fewer than 35 new clients?d. Compute the expected value, variance, and standard deviation of x.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Yes

b. 0.35

c. 0.5

d.

E(x)=34.25

V(x)=73.1875

SD(x)=8.555

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

x      20   25   30      35   40  45 50

f(x) 0.05 0.2 0.25  0.15  0.15 0.1 0.1

This will be valid probability distribution if

1. All probabilities are between 0 and 1 inclusive.

2. Sum of probabilities must be 1.

Condition 1 is satisfied in this distribution. Now, we will check second condition

sum(f(x))=0.05+0.2+0.25+0.15+0.15+0.1+0.1=1.

As the both conditions are satisfied, thus the given distribution is a valid probability distribution.

b.

P(x≥40)=P(X=40)+P(X=45)+P(X=50)

P(x≥40)=0.15+0.1+0.1

P(x≥40)=0.35

So, the probability that Backens and Hayes LLC will obtain 40 or more new clients is 0.35.

c.

P(x<35)=P(X=20)+P(X=25)+P(X=30)

P(x<35)=0.05+0.2+0.25

P(x<35)=0.5

So, the probability that Backens and Hayes LLC will obtain fewer than 35 new clients is 0.5.

d.

Expected value of x=E(x)= sum[x*f(x)]

E(x)= 20*0.05+25*0.2+30*0.25+35*0.15+40*0.15+45*0.1+50*0.1

E(x)=1+5+7.5+5.25+6+4.5+5

E(x)=34.25

Variance of x=V(x)=sum[x²*f(x)]-(sum[x*f(x)])²

sum[x²*f(x)]= 20²*0.05 +25²*0.2 +30²*0.25 +35²*0.15 +40²*0.15 +45²*0.1 +50²*0.1

sum[x²*f(x)]=20+1255+225+183.75+240+202.5+50

sum[x²*f(x)]=1246.25

V(x)=1246.25-(34.25)²

V(x)=73.1875

Standard deviation of x=SD(x)=√V(x)

SD(x)=8.555

2. Kachina is going to a concert that begins at 7:30 P.M. She
needs to arrive at the ticket window 15 minutes before
the concert to get her ticket. It takes Kachina 35 minutes
to ride to the concert, then 10 minutes to park the car. At
what time should Kachina leave for the concert?

Answers

Answer:

6:30 P.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Kachina must do all these things before 7:30 P.M., we must find the sum of the times of the things she must do before the concert and subtract it from 7:30

The sum of the minutes is 60, which is 1 hour.  Thus, Kachina should leave 1 hour before 7:30 which is 6:30 P.M.

Answer:

  (-√(6-√26) < x < √(6-√26)) ∪ (x < -√(6 +√26)) ∪ (√(6 +√26) < x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using x^2 = z, the equation can be rewritten as ...

  z^2 -12z +10 > 0

  (z -6)^2 -26 > 0

  |z -6| > √26

This resolves to two equations.

This one ...

  x^2 -6 < -√26 . . . . substitute x^2 for z

  |x| < √(6-√26) . . . . add 6, take the square root; use √a^2 = |a|

  -√(6-√26) < x < √(6-√26)

A doctor wants to research if there is any difference in the birth weights of a mother's first child and second child. Suppose that data were collected for a random sample of 10 mothers with 2 children, where each difference is calculated by subtracting the weight of the first child from the weight of the second child. Assume that the weights are normally distributed. The doctor uses the alternative hypothesis Ha:μd≠0. Suppose the test statistic t is calculated as −1.101, which has 9 degrees of freedom. If the p-value is greater than 0.10 and the significance level is α=0.10, what conclusion can be made about the birth weights of a mother's first 2 children?

Answers

Answer:

There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that there exists significant difference in the birth weights of a mother's first child and second child at 10% level of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

When our p-value exceeds level of significance then we fail to reject our null hypothesis. In this scenario we are investigating if there exists significant difference in the birth weights of a mother's first child and second child and our null hypothesis is there exists no significant difference in the birth weights of a mother's first child and second child i.e.μd=0.

As we are given that p-value is greater than 10% level of significant so, we cannot reject our null hypothesis. Thus, the conclusion statement can be written as "There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that there exists significant difference in the birth weights of a mother's first child and second child at 10% level of significance."

  10.  dashed line, shaded inside, opens down, (neither point is a solution)

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is attached. Either the graph or the equation will tell you the vertex is (1, -2). Since the leading coefficient is negative, the parabola opens downward. Since the comparison is "y < ( )", shading is below the boundary line, so shading is inside the parabola.

The point (0, 0) is outside the parabola, so is not a solution. The point (2, -3) is on the (dashed) boundary line, so is not a solution. (The boundary line is dashed because points on it are not part of the solution set.)

__

The inequality is written in vertex form:

  y < a(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . . . has vertex (h, k)

The value of h in your inequality is 1, and the value of k is -2, so the vertex is (1, -2) as read from the inequality itself. (No graphing needed.)

Find the value of x.

Answers

Answer:

x= 13 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 90 degree angle. We can create an equation to find x

68+x+9= 90

77+x= 90

-77     -77

x= 13 degrees

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The given angles are,

→ 68°

→ (x + 9)°

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of x.

Forming the equation,

→ 68° + (x + 9)° = 90°

Then the value of x will be,

→ 68° + (x + 9)° = 90°

→ 68° + x + 9° = 90°

→ (68 + 9)° + x = 90°

→ 77° + x = 90°

→ x = 90° - 77°

→ [ x = 13 ]

Hence, the value of x is 13.

The function C(x)=300x+6,000 represents the cost to produce x number of items. How many items should be produced so that the average cost is less than $500?

Answers

Answer:

More than 30 items

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x)=300x+6,000

First, find c(x), the average cost function.

c(x)c(x)=C(x)x=300x+6,000x

The average cost function is shown below.

c(x)=300x+6,000x

We want the function c(x) to be less than 500.

c(x)<500

Substitute the rational expression for c(x).

300x+6,000x<500x≠0

Subtract 500 to get 0 on the right.

300x+,6000x−500<0

  15·12 = k = 180 . . . . . . multiply by 12

Then for f = 90, we have ...

  90 = 180/√g

Yes, ΔEDF and ΔBCA are similar

If we look at the both the triangles then the

[tex]\sf{ {\angle} E = {\angle}B }[/tex][tex]\sf{ {\angle} F = {\angle}A }[/tex]

From above, we can conclude that :-

Both the triangles are similar by AA Similarity

Hence, Option A is correct.

[tex]\bold{\huge{\underline{ Solution \:2}}}[/tex]

Let consider the given triangle be ABC and the line that divides the triangle consider it as DE

So,

[tex]\sf{\dfrac{ AD }{ AB }}{\sf{ = }}{\sf{\dfrac{AE}{AC}}}{\sf{=}}{\sf{\dfrac{DE}{BC}}}[/tex]

Therefore,

ΔABC similar to ΔADE by SSS congruence similarity criterion.

Now,

We have to find the value of x

In ΔABC, By using BPT theorem

If the line is drawn parallel to one side of the triangle which intersect the other two sides at specific points then the other two sides are in proportion .

That is,

[tex]\sf{\dfrac{ AD }{ AB }}{\sf{ = }}{\sf{\dfrac{DE}{BC}}}[/tex]

Subsitute the required values,

[tex]\sf{\dfrac{ 6 }{ 6 + 4 }}{\sf{ = }}{\sf{\dfrac{8}{x}}}[/tex]

Hence, Option C is correct

[tex]\bold{\huge{\underline{ Solution \:3}}}[/tex]

Here,

For x,

By using BPT theorem,

Subsitute the required values,

[tex]\sf{\dfrac{ 2 }{ 4 }}{\sf{ = }}{\sf{\dfrac{x}{6}}}[/tex]

[tex]\sf{\dfrac{ 1 }{ 2 }}{\sf{ = }}{\sf{\dfrac{x}{6}}}[/tex]

[tex]\sf{ x = }{\sf{\dfrac{6}{2}}}[/tex]

[tex]\sf{ x = 3 }[/tex]

Thus, The value of x is 3

For y

Again by using BPT theorem,

[tex]\sf{\dfrac{ AB }{ RS }}{\sf{ = }}{\sf{\dfrac{AC}{RT}}}[/tex]

Subsitute the required values,

[tex]\sf{\dfrac{ 2 }{ 4 }}{\sf{ = }}{\sf{\dfrac{5}{y}}}[/tex]

According to the graph, a constant relationship exists between the number of days a book is overdue and the library fine charged when the Number of days book is  overdue is about 19 days and above such that the library fine charged stays the same at $10.

Since we are told that Christen's fine for returning the book is the same as the fine she would have paid if book was returned yesterday, then, the number of days Christen's book is overdue could be 20 days and above.

If we added all of the values in the 3x3 magic square, then we'd get 45 as well.

This is one example showing that

sum of all values = (number of rows)*(magic constant)

You can replace "rows" with columns to get the same idea, because each column also adds to the same magic constant. The diagonals are an exception since we only have two of them.

Hydrogen ions enter the mitochondrial matrix via facilitated diffusion. Pls help, if you dont know pls dont just say something random cause this affects most of my grade
