A certain company sends 50% of its overnight mail parcels via express mail service E1. Of these parcels, 1% arrive after the guaranteed delivery time (denote the event late delivery by L). Suppose that 10% of the overnight parcels are sent via express mail service E2 and the remaining 40% are sent via E3. Of those sent via E2 on 2% arrive late, whereas 5% of the parcels handled by E3 arrive late.
A. If a record of an overnight mailing is randomly selected from the company's file, what is the probability that the parcel went via El and was late?
B. What is the probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late?
C. If a randomly selected parcel has arrived on time, what is the probability that is was not sent via E1?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 0.005 = 0.5% probability that the parcel went via El and was late

B. 0.027 = 2.7% probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late.

C. 0.8148 = 81.48% probability that is was not sent via E1

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

A. If a record of an overnight mailing is randomly selected from the company's file, what is the probability that the parcel went via El and was late?

50% are chosen via E1, and of those, 1% were late. So

[tex]p = 0.5*0.01 = 0.005[/tex]

0.005 = 0.5% probability that the parcel went via El and was late

B. What is the probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late?

1% of 50%(via E1)

2% of 10%(via E2)

5% of 40%(via E3).

So

[tex]p = 0.01*0.5 + 0.02*0.1 + 0.05*0.4 = 0.027[/tex]

0.027 = 2.7% probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late.

C. If a randomly selected parcel has arrived on time, what is the probability that is was not sent via E1?

Conditional Probability.

Event A: Late

Event B: Not sent via E1

0.027 = 2.7% probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late, which means that [tex]P(A) = 0.027[/tex]

Late and not sent via E1:

2% of 10%(via E2)

5% of 40%(via E3).

So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.02*0.1 + 0.05*0.4 = 0.022[/tex]

Desired probability:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.022}{0.027} = 0.8148[/tex]

0.8148 = 81.48% probability that is was not sent via E1

What is the volume of the pyramid?


72 cm³

48 cm³

32 cm³

60 cm³

Answers

Answer:

72 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

i just took the test :)

The volume of the given right square pyramid is 72 cm³. The correct answer would be an option (A).

What is the volume of a right square pyramid?

The formula for the volume of a right square pyramid is:

V = (1/3) B × h

where B is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid.

Since the perimeter of the base is 24 cm, and there are four equal sides, each side must be 24/4 = 6 cm.

The area of the square base is:

B = s² = 6² = 36 cm²

The volume of a right square pyramid is:

V = (1/3) B × h

Substituting in the given values, we get:

V = (1/3) × 36 × 6

V = 72 cm³

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 72 cm³.

hope it helps you ❣️

Answer:

10.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number be represented with x.

Increase by 5% = 5% of x = 5/100 x X = 0.05x

So, the next number = x + 0.05x = 1.05x

Increase again by 5% = 5% of 1.05x = 5/100

x1.05x = 0.05 x 1.05x = 0.0525

So, the current number = 1.05x + 0.0525x =1.1025x

[tex] \frac{1.1025x - x}{x} = 0.1025 \times 100 = 10.25\%[/tex]

What is the Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem which is also referred to as the Pythagorean theorem explains the relationship between the three sides of a right-angled triangle. According to the Pythagoras theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of a triangle.

From the triangle we have WX=b, WZ=c, ZY=3, YX=a and WY=4.

By Pythagoras theorem,

c²=4²+3²

c²=16+9

c²=25

c=5 units

In triangle WXZ,

(3+a)²=5²+b² ----(i)

From the triangle WXY,

b²=4²+a² ------(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii), we get

(3+a)²=5²+4²+a²

9+6a+a²=41+a²

6a=32

a=32/6

a=[tex]5\frac{1}{3}[/tex] units

Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Which numbers belong to the solution set of the inequality? x+6= 42​

Answers

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x=36 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

x + 6 = 42

Reorder the terms:

6 + x = 42

Solving

6 + x = 42

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + x = 42 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + x = 42 + -6

x = 42 + -6

Combine like terms: 42 + -6 = 36

x = 36

Simplifying

x = 36

For a system of equations to have no real solution, the lines of the equations must be parallel to each other. The ordered pair (-1,3) is not the solution of the given system of equations.

What is the System of equations?Inconsistent System

For a system of equations to have no real solution, the lines of the equations must be parallel to each other.

Consistent System

1. Dependent Consistent System

For a system of the equation to be a Dependent Consistent System, the system must have multiple solutions for which the lines of the equation must be coinciding.

2. Independent Consistent System

For a system of the equation to be an Independent Consistent System the system must have one unique solution for which the lines of the equation must intersect at a particular.

The solution of the equation can be found by plotting the equation on the graph. Therefore, the point at which the equation will intersect will the solution of the system of equation.

Since the solution of the system of equation is (-0.6, 0.2), there exists only one single solution for the system of equation. therefore, the (-1,3) is not the solution of the system of equation.

Hence, the ordered pair (-1,3) is not the solution of the given system of equations.
