A commuter crosses one of three bridges, A, B, or C, to go home from work. The commuter crosses bridge A with probability 1/3, crosses bridge B with probability 1/6, and crosses bridge C with probability 1/2. The commuter arrives home by 6pm with probability 75%, 60%, and 80% by crossing bridge A, B, or C, respectively. If the commuter arrives home by 6pm, find the probability that bridge B was used.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1333 = 13.33% probability that bridge B was used.

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.

In this question:

Event A: Arrives home by 6 pm

Event B: Bridge B used.

Probability of arriving home by 6 pm:

75% of 1/3(Bridge A)

60% of 1/6(Bridge B)

80% of 1/2(Bridge C)

So

[tex]P(A) = 0.75*\frac{1}{3} + 0.6*\frac{1}{6} + 0.8*\frac{1}{2} = 0.75[/tex]

Probability of arriving home by 6 pm using Bridge B:

60% of 1/6. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.6*\frac{1}{6} = 0.1[/tex]

Find the probability that bridge B was used.

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1}{0.75} = 0.1333[/tex]

0.1333 = 13.33% probability that bridge B was used.

The quadratic function represented by the graph as given in the attached image is; Choice C; y = 2x² - 10x + 12.

What is the quadratic function represented by the graph?

It follows from the task content that the quadratic function which is represented by the graph be determined.

Since the quadratic function can be modelled as follows; y = a (x - p) (x -q) where; a is a constant, and p and q are the roots of the quadratic function.

Hence, since it follows that the roots are 2 and 3; we have;

y = a (x - 2) (x -3)

Hence, to determine the value of constant, a, we must substitute the values defined by the point given; (1, 4) as follows;

4 = a (1 -2) (1 -3)

4 = a(-1) (-2)

4 = 2a

a = 2.

On this note, the required equation is; y = 2 (x - 2) (x - 3).

Ultimately, the required quadratic function is; Choice C; y = 2x² - 10x + 12.

Answers

Answer:

a) The value of q is 0.2.

b) E(X) = 1.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

The sum of all the probabilities must be 1. So

[tex]0.3 + x + 0.1 + 0.15 + 0.25 = 1[/tex]

[tex]x + 0.8 = 1[/tex]

[tex]x = 0.2[/tex]

The value of q is 0.2.

Question b:

Multiplication of each value of x by its probability. So

[tex]E(X) = 0*0.3 + 1*0.2 + 2*0.1 + 3*0.15 + 4*0.25 = 1.85[/tex]

Easton is deciding between two landscaping companies for his place of business.
Company A charges $25 per hour and a $150 equipment fee. Com piny B charges $35
per hour and a $100 equipment fee. Let A represent the amount Company A would
charge for t hours of landscaping, and let B represent the amount Company B would
charge fort hours of landscaping. Write an equation for each situation, in terms oft,
and determine the number hours, t, that would make the cost of each company the
same.

Answers

Answer:

i. A = $25 t + $150

ii. B = $35 t + $100

iii. Number of hours = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For company A:

A = $25 t + $150

where A is the amount charged and t is the number of hours of landscaping.

For company B:

B = $35 t + $100

where B is the amount charged and t is the number of hours of landscaping.

When the time  is 5 hours, then:

i. A = $25 t + $150

     = $25 (5) + $150

     = $125 + $150

A = $275

ii. B = $35 t + $100

      = $35(5) + $100

      = $175 + $100

B = $275

Therefore, the number of hours that would make the cost of each company to be the same is 5 hours.

isaac invested $77,000 in an account paying interest rate of 4.6% compounded continuously. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are made, how much money, to the nearest cent, would be the count after 12 years?

Answers

Answer:

$133,728 would be in the count after 12 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuous compounding:

The amount of money, in continuous compounding, after t years, is given by:

[tex]P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}[/tex]

In which P(0) is the initial deposit and r is the interest rate, as a decimal.

Isaac invested $77,000 in an account paying interest rate of 4.6% compounded continuously.

This means that [tex]P(0) = 77000, r = 0.046[/tex]

Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are made, how much money, to the nearest cent, would be the count after 12 years?

This is P(12). So

[tex]P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}[/tex]

[tex]P(12) = 77000e^{0.046*12} = 133728[/tex]

$133,728 would be in the count after 12 hours.

Coffee = $2.00

Juice = $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

[tex]c = coffee\\ j= juice\\ d = doughnut[/tex]

So, we have:

Anna

[tex]2c + j + 2d = 7.50[/tex]

Barry

[tex]c + 3d = 5.00[/tex]

Cathy

[tex]3c + j + 4d = 11.50[/tex]

Required

The price of each

We have:

[tex]2c + j + 2d = 7.50[/tex]

[tex]c + 3d = 5.00[/tex]

[tex]3c + j + 4d = 11.50[/tex]

Make c the subject in: [tex]c + 3d = 5.00[/tex]

[tex]c = 5.00 - 3d[/tex]

Substitute [tex]c = 5.00 - 3d[/tex] in [tex]2c + j + 2d = 7.50[/tex] and [tex]3c + j + 4d = 11.50[/tex]

[tex]2c + j + 2d = 7.50[/tex]

[tex]2[5.00 - 3d] + j + 2d = 7.50[/tex]

[tex]10.00 - 6d+ j + 2d = 7.50[/tex]

Make j the subject

[tex]j = 7.50 - 10.0 +6d - 2d[/tex]

[tex]j = -2.50 +4d[/tex]

[tex]3c + j + 4d = 11.50[/tex]

[tex]3[5.00 - 3d] + j + 4d = 11.50[/tex]

[tex]15.00 - 9d + j + 4d = 11.50[/tex]

Make j the subject

[tex]j = 11.50 - 15.00 + 9d -4d[/tex]

[tex]j = -3.50 + 5d[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]j = -3.50 + 5d[/tex] and [tex]j = -2.50 +4d[/tex]

Equate both values of  j

[tex]-3.50 + 5d = -2.50 + 4d[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]5d - 4d = 3.50 -2.50[/tex]

[tex]d = 1.00[/tex]

Substitute [tex]d = 1.00[/tex] in [tex]j = -3.50 + 5d[/tex]

[tex]j = -3.50 + 5d[/tex]

[tex]j = -3.50 + 5 * 1.00[/tex]

[tex]j = -3.50 + 5.00[/tex]

[tex]j = 1.50[/tex]

To solve for c, we substitute [tex]d = 1.00[/tex] in [tex]c + 3d = 5.00[/tex]

[tex]c + 3 * 1.00 =5.00[/tex]

[tex]c + 3.00 =5.00[/tex]

Solve for c

[tex]c =- 3.00 +5.00[/tex]

[tex]c =2.00[/tex]

If you draw a line separating the big square from the little square,  you have a 12 x 10 large square, and a 5 x 4 smaller square. We know the second dimension of the small square because the large square takes 10ft off of the total length of 4ft.

A population has a standard deviation of 24. What is the standard error of the sampling distribution if the sample size is 100?
A. 0.48
B. 4.8
C. 0.24
D. 2.4

Answers

Answer:

D. 2.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

S.E. =  std dev / √N

= 24 / √100

= 2.4.

The standard error of the sampling distribution will be 2.4. Then the correct option is D.

What is the standard error?

The standard deviation of a statistic's sample distribution, or an approximation of that standard deviation, constitutes the statistic's measurement error (SE).

SE = σ / √n

A population has a standard deviation of 24. Then the standard error of the sampling distribution, if the sample size is 100, is calculated as,

SE = σ / √n

SE = 24 / √100

SE = 24 / 10

SE = 2.4

The standard error of the sampling distribution will be 2.4. Then the correct option is D.

Find an equation in standard form for the ellipse with the vertical major axis of length 16 and minor axis of length 10.

Answers

Answer:

The first option.

Step-by-step explanation:

You take the major vertical length and put it into this equation:

2a = 16

a/2 = 16/2

a = 8

You do the same with the minor length.

2b = 10

b/2 = 10/2

b = 5

You then switch the a^2 and the b^2 due to the fact that the veritcal length is longer than the horizontal. Then you use the formula to plug in 8 and 5.

(x - h)^2 / b^2 + (y - k)^2 / a^2 = 1

(x - h)^2 / 5^2 + (y - k)^2 / 8^2 = 1

Solve for x.
