    The probability that a new drug will cure a skin rash is 0.82.

    Yes i learnd about the binomial theorem, but how can i apply in this question

    The probability that a new drug will cure a skin rash is 0.82.

    Homework Statement "The probability that a new drug will cure a skin rash is 0.82. if the drug is administered to 200 patients with the skin rash, find the probability that: a)more than 150 will be cured? b)between 170 and 180, inclusive will be cured? " Homework Equations The Attempt at a...

    How Do You Calculate Acceleration and Speed in a Joy Ride Physics Problem?

    After finishing the calculation i think there is still something wrong. If T2 = 50,6s then T1 = 31s Than to Calculate S1f we will say S1f = S1i + V1i + (1/2)(a)(T1^2) S1f = 2162.25 m (which makes no sense.. but still let's carry on) to Find Top speed (V1f) V1f2 = V1i2 + 2...

    How Do You Calculate Acceleration and Speed in a Joy Ride Physics Problem?

    V1f = V2i V1f = aT1 +V1i V1f = 4.50 ( 81.6 - T2) +0 V1f = 367.2 - 4.50 T2 Since V1f = V2i Therefor, S2f = S2i + (367.2 - 4.50 T2) (T2) S2f = 0 + 367.2 T2 - 4.50 T2 ^2 *Shouldn't S2i be equal to S1f ? but am takeing your word for it* S1 + S2 = 3840 (T22 -367.2 T2 +...

    How Do You Calculate Acceleration and Speed in a Joy Ride Physics Problem?

    I would say the same equation as before S2f = S2i + V2i (T2) +(1/2)(a)(T2)^2 S2f = S2i + V2i (T2) + 0 V2i = V1f Dead end . Is there a better formula to use ?

    How Do You Calculate Acceleration and Speed in a Joy Ride Physics Problem?

    First of all thank you for your replay. i understood what you mean, but i don't know how to actually do it (i have been tryiong since you replaied) i don't know how to "Find s1 (distance traveled when accelerating) in term of t1, then find also s2 (distance traveled with constant speed) in...

    How Do You Calculate Acceleration and Speed in a Joy Ride Physics Problem?

    Hey, i got this question in my first assignment in PHYS 109. i am sure the question is easy, but for some reason i can't get it around my head. Thanks for the help ! Homework Statement A physics 109 student is taking a car for a joy ride on a long, empty and perfectly straight...

    Circle Transformations: Understanding and Applying the Process

    Okay i pretty much understood all what you said . But there is one little thing that i don't understand yet ... I have to Limits for the graph, -4.5 and -5 ... which one do i use to calculate the standard deviation. For -4.5 SD is 0.20 For-5 it is -0.20 am sorry, but i had a long hard day...

    Circle Transformations: Understanding and Applying the Process

    am confused again Okay, Here is the formula i know Z= (x - \mu)/\sigma Where Z= I check forr 0.10 in the Z-score chart and it was 0.27 x= i thought it to be 0.80 because the question said (the probabilty of "80%" ) \mu = Mean = -4.75 \sigma = Standard Deviation, and that's...

    Circle Transformations: Understanding and Applying the Process

    Ahaaa, i got it now.. so, to cover 80% of the Curve, we will drop 10% from the right and 10 % from the left (we will take the middle 80%) , an It will be something like 0.27=(0.80-(-4.75))/X Where x is the standard Deviation. X= 1.50=Standard Deviation. Edit: Do i keep 80% in this form, or...

    Circle Transformations: Understanding and Applying the Process

    If you gave me The : - mean x - Standard deviation S - And a number. h ~The symbols are imaginary~ I can use (h-x)/s to get the Z score. and from the Z-score chart i can get the probabilty of you getting this number. But i couldn't work around this question.. the question...

    Circle Transformations: Understanding and Applying the Process

    Hey.. Am still working on this "project" and am stuck on number 6 on the 2nd page that i uploaded. am not sure how to calculate the standard deviation "that would allow 80%" i know that standard daviation is calculated by getting the mean, then subtracting the mean from the list of...

    Minimum Electric Potential Difference Required to Bring Alpha Particle to Rest

    Ok, i solved it but i hope i got it right this time! First: Conservation of momentum. Mv initial = mv Duaghter pa. +mv Alpha pa. mv Duaghter pa. =-mv Alpha pa (3.90*10-25)(-2.62 *105) = the momentum of the duaghter particle...the negative on the speed indicate that it was moving in...

    Minimum Electric Potential Difference Required to Bring Alpha Particle to Rest

    Ya, what you say makes perfect sense, i don't know how did i do sucha mistake.. okay let's say that i got Delta E, which is Work done, But then where do i go ? can i use V=E/Q to get V ? Thanks a lot mate, really appreciated. :P
