The height, s, of a ball thrown straight down with initial speed 32 ft/sec from a cliff 48 feet high is s(t) = -16t^2 - 32t + 48, where t is the time elapsed that the ball is in the air. What is the instantaneous velocity of the ball when it hits the ground? 64ft/s
0ft/s
256ft/s
-64ft/s

One month, a music site observed that 60% of the people who downloaded songs from its site downloaded q sam's latest single. the equation below represents this information, where x represents the total number of people who ddownloaded songs from the site that month: x = 0.6x + 384 how many people who downloaded songs from the site that month downloaded q sam's latest single?

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event a↵ect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?

For a science project, a high school research team conducted a survey of local air temperatures. based on the results of the survey, the found that the average temperatures were around 10 degrees higher than expected. this result was wrong. the trouble with the survey was that most of the locations were exposed to direct sunlight and located over asphalt or sand, which resulted in higher temperatures than normal. this is a classic example of an error in which phase of inferential statistics?
