Because of bad weather, the number of days next week that the captain of a charter fishing boat can leave port is uncertain. The following probability distribution for the number of days that the boat is able to leave port per week was determined based on historical data when the weather was poor: The number of days the boat can leave port per week Probability 0 0.20 1 0.05 2 0.05 3 0.05 4 0.15 5 0.10 6 0.15 7 0.25 Based on the probability distribution, what is the expected number of days per week the captain can leave port. Group of answer choices 3.55 4.00 3.50 4.05 2.85
Answer:
The expected number of days per week the captain can leave port is 4.05.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following distribution:
[tex]P(X = 0) = 0.2[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = 0.05[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = 0.05[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = 0.05[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = 0.15[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 5) = 0.1[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 6) = 0.15[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 7) = 0.25[/tex]
What is the expected number of days per week the captain can leave port.
We multiply each outcome by its probability. So
[tex]E = 0*0.2 + 1*0.05 + 2*0.05 + 3*0.05 + 4*0.15 + 5*0.1 + 6*0.15 + 7*0.25 = 4.05[/tex]
The expected number of days per week the captain can leave port is 4.05.

A motorboat takes 3 hours to travel 108 kilometers going upstream. The return trip takes 2 hours going downstream. What is the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current?
Rate of the boat in still water:
Rate of the current:
Answer:
45; 9
Step-by-step explanation:
1) if the rate of the boat in still water is 'b' and the rate of the current is 'c', then it is possible to write the rate of the boat going upstream: b-c, downstream: b+c.
2) the basic formula is: D=r*t, where D - distance, r - rate/velocity, t - time;
3) according to the condition it takes 3 hours to travel 108 km upstream, it means according to the formula above 3(b-c)=108;
4) according to the condition it takes 2 hours to travel 108 km downstream, it means according to the formula above 2(b+c)=108;
5) if to make up the system of two equations, then:
[tex]\left \{ {{3(b-c)=108} \atop {2(b+c)=108}} \right. \ => \ \left \{ {{b=45} \atop {c=9}} \right.[/tex]
6) rate of the boat in still water: 45 km/h;
rate of the current: 9 km/h.

what is the shape and direction of f(x)=(x+7)(x+11)
Given:
The function is
[tex]f(x)=(x+7)(x+11)[/tex]
To find:
The shape and direction of the given function.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]f(x)=(x+7)(x+11)[/tex]
It can be written as
[tex]f(x)=x^2+11x+7x+77[/tex]
[tex]f(x)=x^2+18x+77[/tex]
It is a quadratic function and the power of [tex]x[/tex] is 2 so the graph of this function is a vertical parabola.
The leading coefficient is positive so the parabola opens upward.
Therefore, the given function is a vertical parabola that opens upward.

An organization published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 10.2% of adults in a country suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, nine of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percent in the general adult population in the country.

determine the 1st term of the first 21 term of an arithmetic series if the sum of the three middle term is 126 and the sum of the three last terms is 288
Answer:
- 18
Step-by-step explanation:
arithmetic sequences are in form:
a(n)=a(o)+d(n-1)
sum are in form:
s(n)=[a(0)+a(n)](n/2)
three middle terms is:
10th, 11th, 12th term
How to think: 21 = 10+1+10 --> middle 3 is 10,11,12
sum of these 3 terms:
a(10)+a(11)+a(12)
=a(o)+9d+a(0)+10d+a(0)+11d
=3a(0)+30d=126
a(0)+10d=42 ......(equation 1)
Last three terms is:
19th, 20th, 21th
a(19)+a(20)+a(21)
=a(0)+18d+a(0)+19d+a(0)+20d
=3a(0)+57d=288
a(0)+19d=96 ......(equation 2)
now you have
a(0)+10d=42 ......(equation 1)
a(0)+19d=96 ......(equation 2)
solve and gives
d=6
a(0)= -18

PLEASE HELP WITH THE FOLLOWING. WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST. THANK YOU
Answer:
50.8°Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the third side. We will then use the law of cosines to find the angle.
2√15² = 2√6² + b²
60 = 24 + b²
Subtract 24
36 = b²
b = 6
Now, that we have all three sides, we will use the law of cosines to figure out the angle.
c² = a² + b² - 2abCosC°
Substitute the values in.
6² = 2√15² + 2√6² - 2(2√15)(2√6)CosC°
36 = 60 + 24 - 2(37.947331922)CosC°
36 = 60 + 24 - 75.894663844CosC°
36 = 84 - 75.894663844CosC°
Subtract 84
-48 = -75.9CosC°
0.63241106719 = CosC°
Arccos (0.63241106719) = 50.77176844°
The largest acute angle is approximately 50.8°
An exponential distribution is formed by the waiting times for a patient in the emergency room. The average waiting time for this distribution is 38 minutes. Given that it has already taken 37 minutes, what is the probability that the wait time will be more than an additional 41 minutes? Round your answer to three decimal places.
Answer:
0.207 = 20.7% probability that the wait time will be more than an additional 41 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we should understand the exponential distribution and conditional probability.
Exponential distribution:
The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:
[tex]f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}[/tex]
In which [tex]\mu = \frac{1}{m}[/tex] is the decay parameter.
The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:
[tex]P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx[/tex]
Which has the following solution:
[tex]P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}[/tex]
The probability of finding a value higher than x is:
[tex]P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}[/tex]
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.
The average waiting time for this distribution is 38 minutes.
This means that [tex]m = 38, \mu = \frac{1}{38} = 0.0263[/tex]
Given that it has already taken 37 minutes, what is the probability that the wait time will be more than an additional 41 minutes?
Event A: Taking more than 37 minutes.
Event B: More than 37 + 41 = 78 minutes.
Probability of taking more than 37 minutes:
[tex]P(A) = P(X \leq 37) = 1 - e^{-0.0263*37} = 0.6221[/tex]
More than 37 minutes and more than 78 minutes:
The intersection is more than 78 minutes, so:
[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(X > 78) = e^{-0.0263*78} = 0.1286[/tex]
The probability is:
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1286}{0.6221} = 0.207[/tex]
0.207 = 20.7% probability that the wait time will be more than an additional 41 minutes
