Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. [tex]P(x\le 3) = 0.9957[/tex] and [tex]P(x < 3) = 0.965[/tex]

b. [tex]P(X \ge 4) = 0.0043[/tex]

c. [tex]P(1 \le x \le 3)= 0.5313[/tex]

d. [tex]E(x) = 0.75[/tex] and [tex]\sigma(x)= 0.8441[/tex]

e. [tex]P(0) = 0.0769[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

X ~ Bin(15, 0.05)

This implies that:

[tex]n = 15[/tex]

[tex]p =0.05[/tex]

A binomial distribution is represented as:

[tex]P(x) = ^nC_x\ p^x\ (1- p)^{n-x}[/tex]

Solving (a):

(i)

[tex]P(x\le 3)[/tex]

This is solved as:

[tex]P(x\le 3) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3)[/tex]

[tex]P(0) = ^{15}C_0\ * 0.05^0\ (1- 0.05)^{15-0} = 1 * 1 * 0.95^{15} = 0.4633[/tex]

[tex]P(1) = ^{15}C_1\ * 0.05^1\ (1- 0.05)^{15-1} = 15 * 0.05 * 0.95^{14} = 0.3658[/tex]

[tex]P(2) = ^{15}C_2\ * 0.05^2\ (1- 0.05)^{15-2} = 105 * 0.05^2 * 0.95^{13} = 0.1348[/tex]

[tex]P(3) = ^{15}C_3\ * 0.05^3\ (1- 0.05)^{15-3} = 455 * 0.05^3 * 0.95^{12} = 0.0307[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(x\le 3) = 0.4644 + 0.3658 + 0.1348 + 0.0307[/tex]

[tex]P(x\le 3) = 0.9957[/tex]

(ii)

[tex]P(x < 3) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2)[/tex]

[tex]P(x < 3) = 0.4644 + 0.3658 + 0.1348[/tex]

[tex]P(x < 3) = 0.965[/tex]

Solving (b):

[tex]P(X \ge 4)[/tex]

This is represented as:

[tex]P(x \le 3) + P(X \ge 4) = 1[/tex]

[tex]P(X \ge 4) = 1 - P(x \le 3)[/tex]

[tex]P(X \ge 4) = 1 - 0.9957[/tex]

[tex]P(X \ge 4) = 0.0043[/tex]

Solving (c):

[tex]P(1 \le x \le 3)[/tex]

This is represented as:

[tex]P(1 \le x \le 3) =P(1) + P(2) + P(3)[/tex]

[tex]P(1 \le x \le 3) = P(1) + P(2) + P(3)[/tex]

[tex]P(1 \le x \le 3)= 0.3658 + 0.1348 + 0.0307[/tex]

[tex]P(1 \le x \le 3)= 0.5313[/tex]

Solving (d): E(x) and Sigma(x)

[tex]E(x) = n * p[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 15 * 0.05[/tex]

[tex]E(x) = 0.75[/tex]

[tex]\sigma(x)= \sqrt{E(x)* (1-p)}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma(x)= \sqrt{0.75* (1 - 0.05)}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma(x)= \sqrt{0.7125}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma(x)= 0.8441[/tex]

Solving (e):

Calculate P(0) when n= 50

Using: [tex]P(x) = ^nC_x\ p^x\ (1- p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(0) = ^{50}C_0 * 0.05^0 * (1- 0.05)^{50-0}[/tex]

[tex]P(0) = 1 * 1 * (0.95)^{50}[/tex]

[tex]P(0) = 1 * 1 * 0.0769[/tex]

[tex]P(0) = 0.0769[/tex]

A car uses 8 gallons of gasoline to travel 192 miles. How many gallons are used to go 144 miles? *

Answers

Answer:

6 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find this using the ration method.

If, 8 gallons : 192 miles

   x gallons : 144 miles

We must find the value of x, which is the number of gallons used to travel 144 miles.

Cross multiply the ratios.

192 x = 8 × 144

192 x = 1152

x = 1152 ÷ 192

x = 6

∴ It takes 6 gallons to travel 144 miles.

In a study of incentives used by companies to retain mature workers by The Conference Board, it was reported that 41% use flexible work arrangements. Suppose that of those companies that do not use flexible work arrangements, 30% give time off for volunteerism. In addition, suppose that of those companies that use flexible work arrangements, 50% give time off for volunteerism. If a company is randomly selected, determine the following probabilities:

a. The company uses flexible work arrangements or gives time off for volunteerism.
b. The company uses flexible work arrangements and does not give time off for volunteerism.
c. Given that the company does not give time off for volunteerism, the company uses flexible work arrangements.
d. The company does not use flexible work arrangements given that the company does give time off for volunteerism.
e. The company does not use flexible work arrangements or the company does not give time off for volunteerism.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.587 = 58.7% probability that the company uses flexible work arrangements or gives time off for volunteerism.

b) 0.205 = 20.5% probability that the company uses flexible work arrangements and does not give time off for volunteerism.

c) 0.3317 = 33.17% probability that the company uses flexible work arrangements.

d) 0.4634 = 46.34% probability that the company does not use flexible work arrangements given that the company does give time off for volunteerism.

e) 0.795 = 79.5% probability that the company does not use flexible work arrangements or the company does not give time off for volunteerism.

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. The company uses flexible work arrangements or gives time off for volunteerism.

41% use flexible work arrangements.

Of the 100-41 = 59% that do not use flexible work arrangments, 30% give time off for volunteerism. So

[tex]p = 0.41 + 0.59*0.3 = 0.587[/tex]

0.587 = 58.7% probability that the company uses flexible work arrangements or gives time off for volunteerism.

b. The company uses flexible work arrangements and does not give time off for volunteerism.

41% use flexible work arrangements. Of those, 100 - 50 = 50% do not give time off for volunteerism. So

[tex]p = 0.41*0.5 = 0.205[/tex]

0.205 = 20.5% probability that the company uses flexible work arrangements and does not give time off for volunteerism.

c. Given that the company does not give time off for volunteerism, the company uses flexible work arrangements.

Here, we use conditional probability.

Event A: Does not give time off for volunteerism

Event B: Uses flexible work arrangments.

0.205 = 20.5% probability that the company uses flexible work arrangements and does not give time off for volunteerism.

This means that [tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.205[/tex]

Probability that the company does not give time off for volunteerism:

0.205(uses flexible work arrangments).

100 - 30 = 70% of 59%. So

[tex]P(A) = 0.205 + 0.7*0.59 = 0.618[/tex]

The desired probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.205}{0.618} = 0.3317[/tex]

0.3317 = 33.17% probability that the company uses flexible work arrangements.

d. The company does not use flexible work arrangements given that the company does give time off for volunteerism.

Again conditional probability.

Event A: Gives time off for volunteerism

Event B: Does not use flexible work arrangements.

Probability of giving time off for volunteerism:

50% of 41%(have flexible work arrangements).

30% of 59%(don't have flexible work arrangements).

So

[tex]P(A) = 0.5*0.41 + 0.3*0.59 = 0.382[/tex]

Gives time off for volunteerism and does not use flexible work arrangements.

30% of 59%. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.3*0.59 = 0.177[/tex]

The desired probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.177}{0.382} = 0.4634[/tex]

0.4634 = 46.34% probability that the company does not use flexible work arrangements given that the company does give time off for volunteerism.

e. The company does not use flexible work arrangements or the company does not give time off for volunteerism.

Does not use flexible work arrangments: 59%

Dont give time off for volunteerism(70% already in the 59%, so we dont add) and 50% of 41%.

[tex]p = 0.59 + 0.5*0.41 = 0.795[/tex]

0.795 = 79.5% probability that the company does not use flexible work arrangements or the company does not give time off for volunteerism.

The measure of angle O from the triangle MNO is 156.92°.

What is cosine rule?

In trigonometry, the law of cosines relates the lengths of the sides of a triangle to the cosine of one of its angles.

The formula for the cosine rule is c=√(a²+b²-2ab cosC)

Given that, in triangle MNO, m = 720 cm, n = 160 cm and o=870 cm.

Now, 870=√(720²+160²-2×720×160 cosO)

870²=720²+160²-2×720×160 cosO

756900=544000-230400 cosO

212900=-230400 cosO

cosO= -212900/230400

cosO= -0.92

∠O=156.92°

Therefore, the measure of angle O from the triangle MNO is 156.92°.

to find out the slope you use the equation y2-y1/x2-x1. When you plug in the coordinates it will look like 7-2/1-(-4) and this is equal to 5/5 which can be simplified to 1. So the slope is 1! Now to find the y intercept you have to do b=y1-m*x1! If you plug into the coordinate it will be b=2−(1)⋅(−4) which is equal to 6. Then to construct out equation of the line it will be y=mx+b so now we plug in the slope and the y intercept so that the equation would be y=x+6
