X denotes a binomial random variable with parameters n and p. For each exercise, indicate which area under the appropriate normal curve would be determined to approximate the specified binomial probability. $P(4<X \leq 8)$

What is an externality?

The panel assembly and attached x-y-z axes rotate with a constant angular velocity$\Omega$ = 0.6 rad/sec about the vertical z-axis. Simultaneously, the panels rotate about the y-axis with a constant rate $\omega_0$ = 2 rad/sec. Determine the angular acceleration $\alpha$ of panel A and find the acceleration of point P for the instant when $\beta$ = 90$^\circ$.

Fill in the blank.

A normal curve has the following properties.

About 68.27 percent of the area under the curve lies within 1 _____ _____of the mean, $99.45 \%$ of the area lies within _____ standard deviations of the mean, and about $99.73 \%$ of the area lies within _____ standard deviations of the mean.

Draw Venn diagrams for the following propositions. Some housing developments are complexes that exclude children.

The graph of a normal curve is given. Use the graph to identify the value of $\mu$ and $\sigma$.

A __________ gets a copy of a table from the table adapter and keeps the copy of the table in memory. a. connection b. dataset c. read-only table d. table adapter

We believe that chains of comet fragments like Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9’s have collided not only with the jovian planets, but occasionally with their moons. What sort of features would you look for on the outer planet moons to find evidence of such collisions? (As an extra bonus, can you find any images of such features on a moon like Callisto?

Does the rise and fall of empires, from the Akkadians through the Persians, suggest that the only constant is change? Why or why not? Write a one-page essay to make your point and defend your argument.

What might happen to your memory system if you sustained damage to your hippocampus?

A student is taking a multiple-choice exam in which each question has four choices. Assume that the student has no knowledge of the correct answers to any of the questions. She has decided on a strategy in which she will place four balls (marked $A, B, C$, and D) into a box. She randomly selects one ball for each question and replaces the ball in the box. The marking on the ball will determine her answer to the question. There are five multiple-choice questions on the exam. What is the probability that she will get at least four questions correct?

Explain why adding a constant value, $C$, to any function does not change the value of the slope of its graph at any point. [Hint: Let $g(x) = f(x) + C$, and calculate the difference quotients for $f$ and $g$.]
