Suppose you are a witness to a nighttime hit-and-run accident involving a taxi in Athens. All taxis in Athens are blue or green. You swear, under oath, that the taxi was blue. Extensive testing shows that, under the dim lighting conditions, discrimination between blue and green is 75% reliable (i.e., if the taxi was green, it appears green to you 75% of the time, and blue otherwise; similarly, if the taxi was blue, it appears blue to you 75% of the time, and green otherwise).

Required:
a. Is it possible to calculate the most likely color for the taxi? (Hint: distinguish carefully between the proposition that the taxi is blue and the proposition that it appears blue.)
b. What if you know that 9 out of 10 Athenian taxis are green?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A ) Yes it is possible

B) The color of the most likely taxi to hit the victim is Green in color because

P( Tg / Yb ) = 0.75 = 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Yes it is possible

attached below is a proposition that can be used to calculate the most likely color of the taxi

where: Tg = taxi is green

            Tb = Taxi is blue

            Yg = green taxi is seen

            Yb = blue taxi is seen

B) When 9 out of 10 Athenian taxis are green

The color of the most likely taxi to hit the victim is Green in color because

P( Tg / Yb ) = 0.75 = 75%

find the factors of each number. Write the common factor ( CF ) and then state the greatest common factor ( GCF) .

Answers

Given:

Two numbers are 12 and 21

To find:

The factors of 12 and 21, then find the common factor and the greatest common factor.

Solution:

Two numbers are 12 and 21. The prime factors of these two numbers are

[tex]12=2\times 2\times 3[/tex]

[tex]21=3\times 7[/tex]

From the above factorization, it is clear that the factor 3 is common in both. So,

Common factor (CF) = 3

Only 3 is common in factorization of both. So,

Greatest common factor (GCF) = 3

Therefore, the common factor is 3 and the greatest common factor is also 3.

1.Assume that 20 squirrels are put in an enclosed wildlife ranch and the squirrel population grows for the next 5 years, as shown in the table.



Year

Rabbit Population

0

20

1

80

2

320

3

1280

4

5120

5

20,480
Write a function that represents this.













2.A second group of 20 squirrels of a different breed is placed on a different ranch. The population of squirrels triples each year. Write an equation to model this situation.


















3.Had the second group started with 40 squirrels instead of 20, which population will be bigger by year 3 and by how much?

Answers

Answer:

For the first group we have the pairs:

year           population

0                20

1                 80

2                320

3                 1,280

4                 5,120

5                 20,480

Here we can see that the population quadruples each year

(4*20 = 80, 80*4 = 320, 320*4 = 1,280, etc...)

then the population equation is:

P(0) = 20

P(1) = 20*4

P(2) = (20*4)*4 = 20*4^2

We already can see the pattern, then we can write this relationship as:

P(t) = A*(4)^(t)

Where:

t represents time in years, and A is the initial population, that we know it is 20, then:

P(t) = 20*(4)^t

This is the function that represents the table.

B) Now we have a group of 20 squirrels and the population triples each year, with the same reasoning than before we can write the equation that models this situation as:

Q(t) = 20*(3)^t

C) Now, if the initial population of the second group is 40, the equation becomes:

Q(t) = 40*(3)^t

The population by year 3 is given by replacing t by 3, then:

Q(3) = 40*(3)^3 = 1080

And the population of the other group in year 3 is seen in the table, it is 1,280, then the population of the first group is bigger by year 3, and it is greater by:

1,280 - 1,080 = 200

So the first group is larger by 200 squirrels.

A) x-coordinate of point A

B) y-coordinate of point A

C) x-coordinate of point B

D) y-coordinate of point B

E) x-coordinate of point C

F) y-coordinate of point C

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

π/2 < 4π/5 < π

4π/5 is in Quadrant II

sin(4π/5) = y-coordinate of A

The coordinates is equal to sin(4π/5) = y-coordinate of A.

We need to find the coordinates is equal to sin (4pi/5).

Which trigonometric functions are positive in which quadrant?

In first quadrant (0 < θ < π/2), all six trigonometric functions are positive.

In second quadrant(π/2 < θ < π), only sin and cosec are positive.

In the third quadrant (π < θ < 3π/2), only tangent and cotangent are positive.

In fourth (3π/2 < θ < 2π = 0), only cos and sec are positive.

Then, we have π/2 < 4π/5 < π

So, 4π/5 is in Quadrant II

Hence,  the coordinates is equal to sin(4π/5) = y-coordinate of A.
