Page 3 Problem 5 Answer

Here, the given values are XY=5x, YZ=x, and XY=25.

We need to find the value of x and YZ.

Here, Y is between X and Z.

Given values of XY are 2x and 25.

By equalling both the values, we get,

∴ 5x=25( required linear equation)

⇒ x=25/5

⇒ x=5​

Therefore, the value of YZ=5. (putting the value of x).

The value of x is 5 and the value of YZ is 5.

Page 3 Problem 6 Answer

Here, the given values of XY = 12, YZ = 2x, and XZ = 28.

We need to find the value of x and YZ.

Here, Y is between X and Z.

So the value of XZ = the value of XY + the value of YZ.

∴ 28=12+2x(reaquired linear equation).

By solving the equation, we get,

∴ 28=12+2x

⇒ 28−12=2x

⇒ 16=2x

⇒ x=16/2

⇒ x=8

Therefore, the value of YZ,

= 2×8( putting the value of x)

= 16

​The value of x is 8 and the value of YZ is 16.

Page 3 Problem 7 Answer

Here, the given values of XY = 4x, YZ = 3x, XZ = 42. We need to find the value of x and YZ.

Here, Y is between X and Z.

So the value of XZ = the value of XY + the value of YZ.

∴ 42=4x+3x(reaquired linear equation).

By solving the equation, we get,

∴ 42=4x+3x

⇒ 42=7x

⇒ 42/7

= x

⇒ x = 6

​Therefore, the value of YZ,

= 3x

= 3×6(putting the value of x)

= 18

​The value of x is 6 and the value of YZ is 18.

Page 3 Problem 8 Answer

Here, the given values of XY =2x+1, YZ = 6x and XZ = 81.

We need to find the value of x and YZ.

Here, Y is between X and Z.

So the value of XZ = the value of XY + the value of YZ.

∴ 81=2x+1+6x( reaquired linear equation).

By solving the equation, we get,

∴ 81=2x+1+6x

⇒ 81−1 = 8x

⇒ 80=8x

⇒ 80/8

= x

⇒ x=10

​Therefore, the value of YZ,

= 6x

= 6×10( putting the value of x)

= 60

​The value of x is 10 and the value of YZ is 60.

We match the line with the measuring scale to find the number of small segments combinedly refer to the length of the line EF.

We have the line EF and a measuring scale (in inches) as,

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 1 Points, Lines, and Planes 12 1

Now, we can notice that in the scale every inch is segmented into 16 small portions.

The line lies in a way that its starting point is matching with the starting point of the measuring scale.

Now, we can measure that the line is long enough to cover 1 inch and 11 small segments in the scale.

Therefore, the length of the line EF can be written as,

EF=1+11/16 in.

=111/16 in.

Finally, we can conclude that the length of line EF is given as 111/16 in.

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 1 Points, Lines, and Planes 13 1

The length of the segment PQ  is 18.4 cm and the length of the segment QS is 4.7 cm.

Now, the line PS is made of these two consecutive segments, hence, length of PS=length of PQ+length of QS

⇒ length of PS=(18.4+4.7)

⇒ length of PS=23.1 cm.

Finally, we can conclude that the length of the line PS is 23.1 cm.

To find AD.

The value of AD can be calculated as AD=AC+CD.

AD = AC + CD

⇒ AD = 2×3/8 + 1×1/4

⇒ AD =19/8 +5/4

⇒ AD =19 + 2 × 5/8

⇒ AD =29/8 = 3.625in.

Hence the measurement of WX is 35/8in or 3.625in.

To find WX.

WY=WX+XY

⇒ WX=WY−XY.

​WX = WY − XY

⇒ WX = 100 − 89.6

⇒ WX = 10.4cm.

Hence the measurement of WX is 10.4cm.

Page 4 Problem 16 Answer

Given, JK=6x, KL=3x, JL=27, and K is between JL.

To find x and KL.

Since K is between JL, JK+KL=JL.

Since K is between J and L, therefore​JL=JK+KL

⇒ 27=6x+3x

⇒ 9x=27

⇒ x=27/9

⇒ x=3.

​Hence​KL=3x

= 3×3

= 9.

​Hence we can conclude that the values of x=3, KL =9.

Page 4 Problem 17 Answer

Given,JK=2x,KL=x+2,andJL=5x−10.

K is between J and L.

To find x and KL.

Since K is between J&L, JK+KL=JL.

Since K is between J&L, therefore JL=JK+KL

⇒ 5x−10=(2x)+(x+2)

⇒ 2x=10+2​

⇒ x=12/2

⇒ x=6.

​Hence KL=x+2

= 6+2

= 8.

​Hence we can conclude that the values of x=6,KL=8.

Hence the coordinates of the midpoint of the line NQ are \(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}\), \(\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\)=(−1,5)

⇒ \(\frac{x+3}{2}\), \(\frac{y+9}{2}\) =(−1,5)

⇒ x+3=−2,y+9=10

⇒ x=−5,y=1.

​Thus, the coordinates of N are (−5,1).

Hence we can conclude that the coordinates of the missing endpoint are (−5,1).

In the figure, the sum of the angles ∠FKG & ∠GKH form a straight angle.Again, the sum of the angles ∠FKG & ∠FKE forms a straight angle.

Therefore, the supplementary angles of ∠FKG are ∠GKH and ∠FKE.

Page 9 Problem 5 Answer

Let the measures of an angle is x°. Then the other measure of angle which is complement to x°, is(x−24)°.  [∵ one angle measures 24 degrees more than the other]So, (x)°+(x+24)°=90°

Or,  2x° +24=90°

Or,  2x°=90°−24°=66°

Or, x°=66°/2=33°

Therefore, the measure of an angle is 33° and its complement if one angle measures 24 degrees more than the other is (90−33)°=57°.

Page 9 Problem 6 Answer

Let the measures of an angle is x°.

Then the other measure of angle which is a supplement to x°, is(x−36)°.[∵the supplement of an angle is 36 less than the measure of the angle.]

So, (x°)+(x−36)°=180°

Or, 2x°−36°=180°

Or, 2x°=180°+36°=216°

Or, x°=216/2°=108°

Therefore, the measure of an angle is108° and its supplement of an angle is 36 less than the measure of the angle is (108°−36°)=72°.

∠FED is not an adjacent point to∠FGC because there is no common vertex, But complementary to ∠FGC Because ∠FGC+∠FED=50°+40°=90°.

Therefore, ∠FED is not adjacent to, but complementary to ∠FGC.

We know that the angles on a straight line add up to180o.

∠DCB and∠DCF lie on the straight line BCF.

Hence, ∠DCB+∠DCF=180o

∠DCB and∠DCF also lie beside each other.

Hence, ∠DCF is the angle adjacent and supplementary to∠DCB.

∠DCF is an angle adjacent and supplementary to∠DCB.

Page 10 Problem 14 Answer

We are given two angles that are complementary.

It is also given that the measure of one angle is 21 more than twice the measure of the other angle.

We need to find the measures of these angles.

Consider the required angles as variables and construct a mathematical equation with the definition of complementary angles.

Let,x and y be the values of the two angles.

It is given that the measure of one angle is 21 more than twice the measure of the other angle.

Hence, we get,

y=21+2x……………………(1)

We know that complementary angles add up to 90o.

It is given that x and y are complementary to each other.

Therefore,

x+y=90o

⇒ x+(21+2x)=90o

[From (1), y=21+x]

⇒ x+21+2x=90o

⇒ 21+3x=90o

⇒ 3x=69

⇒ x=69/3

⇒ x=23

From (1), y=21+2x

⇒ y=21+2(23)

⇒ y=67

The measurements of the required angles are 34.5o and 55.5o.

Page 10 Problem 15 Answer

It is given that the supplement of an angle has a measure78 less than the measure of the angle.

We need to find the measure of the angle.

This can be found by considering the required angles as variables and constructing a mathematical equation with the definition of supplementary angles.

Let,x and y be the values of two angles.

It is given that the supplement of an angle has a measure78 less than the measure of the angle.

Hence, y=x−78………….(1)

The two angles are a supplement to each other.

Therefore,

x+y=180o

⇒ x+(x−78)=180

[From (1), y=x−78]

⇒ x+x−78=180

⇒ 2x−78=180

⇒ 2x=258

⇒ x=258/2

⇒ x=129

From (1), y=x−78

⇒ y=129−78

⇒ y=51

The measures of the required angles are 129o and 51o.

Page 10 Problem 16 Answer

It is also given that m∠BGC=16x−4 and m∠CGD=2x+13.

We need to find the value of x, so that∠BGD is a right angle.

This can be found by adding up the given angle expressions to 90o.

A figure is given

Geometry, Homework Practice Workbook, 1st Edition, Chapter 1 Points, Lines, and Planes 16

From the given figure, we can say that ∠BGC+∠CGD=∠BGD

m∠BGC=16x−4,m∠CGD=2x+13

It is said that∠BGD is a right angle which is equal to 90o.

Hence, m∠BGC+m∠CGD=90o

⇒(16x−4)+(2x+13)=90

⇒16x−4+2x+13=90

⇒18x+9=90

⇒18x=81

⇒ x=81/18

⇒ x=4.5

The value of x so that∠BGD is a right angle is 2.4.

Page 10 Problem 17 Answer

A figure is given,

We need to explain the correctness of the given statement.

This can be explained on the basis of the statement that two angles are said to be complementary when they add up to 90o.

We see in the figure that ∠NQP is a right angle, i.e, ∠NQP=90o…………………(1)

We see that ∠NQP is made up of two angles, namely ∠NQO and ∠OQP, i.e, ∠NQP=∠NQO+∠OQP………………..(2)

From (1) and (2), we get,∠NQO+∠OQP=90o

Hence, these two angles are complimentary as they add up to give 90o.

The given statement can be assumed from the figure given.

Page 10 Problem 18 Answer

A figure is given,

We need to explain the correctness of the given statement.

This can be explained with the help of the statement that vertical angles refer to each of the pairs of opposite angles made by two intersecting lines.

We see that the lines NR and MP intersect each other at point Q.

The angles ∠MQN,∠MQR lie on the line NR.

Hence, ∠MQN+∠MQR=180o and they are a pair of opposite angles.

Therefore, these two angles are vertical angles

∠MQN and∠MQR are vertical angles.

Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences 8th Edition Chapter 3 Discrete Random Variables and Probability Distributions

Page 127 Problem 1 Answer

Given : Number of specimens of basaltic rock=10

Number of specimens of granite=10

The total specimens=20

The laboratory assistant selects randomly 15 out of these 20 specimens.

To find: We will find the pmf of the number of granite specimens selected for analysis.

We will suppose that the successes is represented as(S) and failures is represented as (F) in the population.

Also, the population and M successes and N−M failures.

Now, taking X=number of successes in a random sample size,n

The pmf will be p(x,nM,N)=(M/x)(N−M/n−x)/(N/n)

For all integers,x , max{0,n−M+m}≤x≤min{n,M}

Here, the success is a granite and failure is basaltic rock. The specimens are10

We have M=10,N=20,So,N−M=10

Suppose that we have 4 specimens of granite then it is sure that the number of specimens of basaltic rock will be more than 10 but since the total number of specimens of basaltic rock is 10.

We conclude that it is not possible for it to have more than 10 specimens.

max{0,n−N+M}≤x≤min{n,M};

max{0,15−20+10}≤x≤min{15,10}; 5≤x≤10

We know X has a hyper geometric distribution with parameters,

n=15,

N=20,

M=10

Hence, the pmf of X is – P(X=x) = p(x;15,10,20)

p(x;15,10,20)=(10/x)(20−10/15−x)/(20/15)

for x ϵ{5.6.7.8.9.10}

​We will calculate the pmf at given values as follows:

At  x = 5,pmf is 0.0163

At x=6, pmf is 0.1354

Atx=7, pmf is 0.3483

Atx=8, pmf is 0.3483

Atx=9, pmf is 0.1354

At x=10, pmf is 0.0163 .

The required pmf are given below:

x=5 pmf is 0.0163

​x=6 pmf is 0.1354

x=7 pmf is 0.3483​

x=8 pmf is 0.3483​

x=9 pmf is 0.1354​

x=10 pmf is 0.0163​

Page 127 Problem 2 Answer

Given : The number of specimens in granite =10

The number of specimens in basaltic rock =10

Total number of specimens are 20.

The laboratory assistant  randomly select 15 of the specimens for analysis.

We need to find the probability that all specimens of one of the two types of rock are selected for analysis.

We will find the pmf.

Hence, the probability that all specimens of one kind are taken from the sample.

We will denote this by Y-P(Y)=P(X=5)+P(X=10)

We obtain:

N=20,

n=15,

M=10

P(X=5 )=p(5;15,10,20)

p(5;15,10,20)=(10/5)(20−10/15−5)/(20/15)

P(X=5 )=p(5;15,10,20)

p(5;15,10,20)= 0.0163

P(X=10 )=p(10;15,10,20)

p(10;15,10,20)=(10/5)(20−10/15−5)/(20/15)

P(X=10 )=p(10;15,10,20)

p(10;15,10,20)=0.0163

​Using the obtained values, we get :

P(Y)=P(X=5)+P(X=10)

P(Y)=0.0163+0.0163

P(Y)=0.0326

We obtain the probability that all specimens of one of the two types of rock are selected for analysis as: 0.0326

Page 127 Problem 3 Answer

Given -N=20

M=10

n=15

​We need to determine probability that the number of granite specimens selected for analysis is within 1 standard deviation of its mean value.

To get the answer, we first have to find its mean.

We obtain the mean of the random variable X

as follows:

E(X)= nM/N

E(X)= 15⋅10/20

E(X)=7.5​

Standard deviation = √Variance

So, to get the value of standard deviation, we need to find the variance.

We get:

V(X)= (N−n/N−1)⋅nM/N⋅(1−M/N)

V(X)= (20−15/20−1)⋅15⋅10/20⋅(1−10/20)

V(X)= (5/19)⋅7.5⋅(1−1/2)

V(X)= (5/19)⋅7.5⋅(1/2)

V(X)= 0.98684

​Hence standard deviation is 0.9934.

Now, we will determine the desired probability.

We note that:

E(X)−Standard deviation<X<E(X)+Standard Deviation

7.5 − 0.9934 <X<7.5+0.9934/6.5066<X<8.4934

​We obtain : pmf ofP(X=7)andP(X=8)-P(X=7)=p(7;15,10,20)

p(7;15,10,20)=(10/7)(20−10/15−7)/(20/15)

P(X=7)=p(7;15,10,20)

p(7;15,10,20)= 0.3483

P(X=8)=p(8;15,10,20)

p(8;15,10,20)=(10/8)(20−10/15−8)/(20/15)

P(X=8)=p(8;15,10,20)

p(8;15,10,20)= 0.3483                                      ​

P(6.5066)<X<P(8.4934) = P(7≤X≤8)

P(6.5066)<X<P(8.4934) = P(X=7)+ P(X=8)

P(6.5066)<X<P(8.4934) = 0.3483 + 0.3483

P(6.5066)<X<P(8.4934) = 0.6966

​The required probability is: P(6.5066)<X<P(8.4934) = 0.6966.

Given that the total number of industrial firms =50.Out of 50 firms, the selected firms for inspection =10.Therefore, N = 50

n = 10

M = 15

We will find the pmf of the number of firms visited by the inspector that are in violation of at least one regulation if 15 of the firms are actually violating at least one regulation.

We have sample of 10 is more than 10 % of the population so, we cannot use the Binomial distribution.

We assume X be a random variable that denote the number of firms that violate at least one regulation from 10 randomly selected firms out of 50 of which 15 violate at least one regulation.

We obtain the pmf as follows:

P(X=x)=h(x;n,M,N)=(M/x)(N−M/n−x)/(N/n)

P(X=x)=h(x;10,15,50)=(15/x)(50−15/10−x)/(50/n)

P(X=x)=h(x;10,15,50)=(15/x)(35/10−x)/(50/n)

We obtain the required pmf as:

P(X=x)=(15/x)(35/10−x)/(50/n)

Page 127 Problem 5 Answer

Given -The total numbers of the firms in the area= 500.

Also,150 are in violation.We will approximate the probability mass function by a simple pmf.

We will use the pmf of binomial distribution.

As N is very large, so X is approximated to a Binomial random variable with probability p.

We get:

p = 150/500

p = 0.3

Here n = 10

So, the pmf of X is b(x;10,0.3).

Now,

b(x;n,p) = b(x;10,0.3)

b(x;10,0.3) =(10/x)(0.3)x(1−0.3)10−x .

​We obtain the pmf as :

b(x;10,0.3) =(10/x)(0.3)x(1−0.3)10−x .

Page 127 Problem 6 Answer

Given -The total number of industrial firms =.50

Out of 50 firms, the selected firms for inspection =10

N=50

n=10

M=15​

We defineX= the number among the 10 visited that are in violation.

We need to get the mean and variance both for the exact pmf and the approximating pmf.

For the given data, the probability of successful trials is calculated as follows:

p = 150/500

p = 150/500

p = 3/10

p = 0.3

Now, mean of a hypergeometric distribution is the number of draws multiplied by the number of successes, divided by the population size.

E(X) = nM/N

E(X) = 10×15/50

E(X) = 3 ​

Now, we calculate the variance of the hypergeometric distribution :

V(X) = nM/N× N−M/N×N−n/N−1

V(X) = 10×15/50× 50−15/50×50−10/50−1

V(X) = 3× 0.7×0.816

V(X) = 1.71428 (approx. 1.7143)

The approximated pmf is calculated as: We know that the mean of a binomial distribution is the product of the sample size n and the probability p.

E(X) = np

E(X) = 10⋅(0.3)

E(X) = 3 .

We will now obtain variance :

V(X) = npq

V(X) = np(1 − p)

V(X) = 10×(0.3)(1 − 0.3)

V(X) = 2.1 .

​For exact pmf : E(X) is 3

V(X) is 1.74128

For approximated pmf:E(X) is 3

V(X) is 2.1

This exercise is based on Negative Binomial DistributionAs every family needs two female children, the total number of female children in three families,

r=2+2+2

=6

Now, the probability of male children born is defined as success and the probability of female children born is defined as failure

The probability of success and failure will be equal for each independent trial

P(female) = P( male)

=1/2

=0.5

We can get the required expectation as follows:

E(X)=r(1−p)/p

We will calculate the probability mass function of X as follows:

P(X)=nb(x;r,p)

Putting the values of r=6 And p=0.5

we obtain : P(X)=nb(x;6,0.5)

We know: E(X)=r(1−p)/p

Putting the values of r and p given in the question

we get,E(X)=6(1−0.5)/0.5

=6(0.5)/0.5=6

For each brother expected we want to have two female children.

The total number of female children for three families will be=3×2=6

The expected number of male children born to each other is the same as we calculated from mathematical expression of E(X)

The pmf of X= the number of male children born to brothers is n b(x;6,0.5)

The expected value for the number of male children born to each other calculated using expression and calculated directly is the same i.e.6

Page 128 Problem 8 Answer

Given – The drought length Y is the number of consecutive time intervals in which the water supply remains below a critical value Y0, preceded by and followed by periods in which the supply exceeds this critical value (a surplus).

The cited paper proposes a geometric distribution with forp=0.409  this random variable.

We will find the probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals and at most 3 intervals.

We will use geometric distribution.

using the given data, we obtain the probability that a drought lasts exactly for 3 intervals as follows :

P(Y=3)=(1−0.409)3×0.409

= 0.844427

= 0.0844

​Now, we calculate the probability that a drought lasts at most3

intervals as follows:

=(1−0.409)0×0.409+(1−0.409)1×0.409+(1−0.409)2×0.409+(1−0.409)3×0.409

=0.409+0.2417+0.1429+0.0844

=0.8780

​We obtain:

P(Y=3)=0.0844.

P(Y≤3)=0.8780.

Page 128 Problem 9 Answer

For the given data, we need to find the probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation.

We note that the mean is given as μ=1−p/p

The standard deviation is given as σ=√1−p/p2

Firstly, we will calculate the mean of random variable Y as follows:

μ=1−p/p

=1−0.409/0.409

=1.445

Now, we will calculate the standard Deviation of the random variable Y as follows:

σ=√1−p/p2

=√1−0.409/(0.409)2

=1.88

​Finally, we calculate the required probability as follows:

P(Y≥μ+σ)=P(Y≥1.445+1.88)

=P(Y>3.325)

=P(Y>3)

=1−P(Y≤3)

=1−P(Y=0)−P(Y=1)−P(Y=2)+P(Y=3)

=1−{(1−0.409)0×0.409+(1−0.409)1×0.409+(1−0.409)2×0.409+(1−0.409)3×0.409}

=1−{0.409+0.2417+0.1429+0.0844}

=1−0.878

=0.122

​We obtain the probability of the event that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation as:0.122
