Problem: A federal agency is deciding which of two waste dump projects to investigate. A top administrator estimates that the probability of federal law violations is 0.30 at the first project and 0.25 at the second project. Also, he believes the occurrences of violations in these two projects are mutually exclusive (that is, the events are disjoint).

a). find the probability of federal law violations in the first project or the second project.
b). given that there is not a federal law violation in the first project, find the probability that there is a federal law violation in the second project.
c). In reality, the administrator confused mutually exclusive and independent, and the events are actually independent. Answer (a) and (b) with this correct information.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given points:

Step-by-step explanation:

For point (a) :

In this, two points are  exclusive to one another,  it is a probability that first or the  second project will have breaches,

[tex]\to P = P(A) + P(B)[/tex]

       [tex]= 0.3 + 0.25\\\\= 0.55[/tex]

Since the p(A & B)=0  is mutually exclusive.

For point (b):

[tex]\to P = ( \frac{1 -p(A)) \times P(B)}{((1-P(A)) \times P(B) + P(A&B)}) \\\\[/tex]

       [tex]= \frac{(1 -0.3)\times 0.25}{(1-0.3)*0.25 + 0} \\\\ = 1[/tex]

For point (c):

 if both a and b are independent:

(a):

[tex]P = P(A) + P(B) - P(A)\times P(B) \\\\[/tex]

   [tex]= 0.3 + 0.25 - 0.3 \times 0.25\\\\ = 0.475[/tex]

(b):

[tex]P = \frac{(1 -p(A)) \times P(B)}{((1-P(A)) \timesP(B) + P(A&B))} \\\\[/tex]

   [tex]= \frac{(1 - 0.3)\times 0.25}{((1-0.3)\times0.25 + 0.3\times0.25)}\\\\ = 0.7[/tex]

The mass of a basket containing three balls was 3.64 kg. The mass of the same basket and five balls is 5.26 kg. Find the mass of the empty basket in kilograms?

Answers

Answer:

1.21

Step-by-step explanation:

5.26 - 3.64 = 1.62

1.62 ÷ 2 because the difference between 3 and 5 is two, the mass of one apple is 0.81 because 1.62 ÷ 2 = 0.81

so now we know one apple weights 0.81

if we multiply that 0.81 x 3 it will equal 2.43, so now the three apples alone wiegh 2.43...so now we look at the total weight of the whole basket with three apples, which is 3.64,

3.64 - the weigth of the apples (2.43)

3.64 - 2.43 = 1.21

the basket alone wieghts 1.21

Anna surveyed 300 of the students in her school about their favorite color. 186 students said their favorite color was red. What percentage of the surveyed students said their favorite color was red?
Answer:_________

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Answers

Answer:

62%

Step-by-step explanation:

I took a fraction and made a decimal which was made into a percentage.

186 ÷ 300 = .62

Check: 62% • 300 = 186

The survey Anna conducted has 62% of students whose favorite color is red.

What is percentage?

The percentage is the value per hundredth. Percentages can be converted into decimal form by dividing them by hundred, Percentage can also be represented as a fraction.

Given that 186 out of 300 students Anna surveyed chooses red as their favorite color.

The percentage of students whose favorite color is red is no. of students whose favorite color is red divided by the total no. of students multiplied by hundred which is,

= (186/300)×100.

= 186/3.

= 62%.

withdrawals until the account is exhausted on her 85th
birthday. If Lisa's bank account pays 3% per year, what
annual amount of SA will Lisa need to invest in her bank
account to achieve her retirement goal? (4.10)​

Answers

Answer:

Lisa invest "$2180.81" in her bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

On Lisa's 62nd birthday,

she withdraw = $10,000

The annuity of $A will remain at 3 percent for 40 years. The retirement pension of $10000 lasts 23 years at rate percentage of 3 but begins 40 years later.

⇒  [tex]A\times (\frac{P}{A} ,3 \ percent,40) - 10000 (\frac{P}{A} ,3 \ percent,23)\times \frac{1}{(1.03)40} = 0[/tex]

⇒  [tex]A\times 23.1148 - 10000\times 16.4436\times 0.3066 = 0[/tex]

Line passes through (-5,3) and (-6,-1). Line B passes through (3,-2) and (2,-7). Are the lines parallel? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

No they are not parallel.  

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to figure out the slopes of each set of points. For  (-5,3) and (-6,-1) the slope is 4 and for  (3,-2) and (2,-7) the slope is 5. You can only have parallel lines if the slope is same and the y- ints are different. Here the slopes aren't same.

Sorry If im wrong. Hope this helps!

The two given lines are not parallel.

What is the slope of a line which passes through points ( p,q) and (x,y)?

The slope is the ratio of the vertical changes to the horizontal changes between two points of the line.

Its slope would be:

[tex]m = \dfrac{y-q}{x-p}[/tex]

Slope of parallel lines are same. Slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other.

We are given that;

The points= (-5,3) and (-6,-1),  (3,-2) and (2,-7)

Now,

For line A, let’s use (-5, 3) and (-6, -1) as the two points. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

m = (-1 - 3) / (-6 - (-5)) = -4 / -1 = 4

So, the slope of line A is 4.

For line B, let’s use (3, -2) and (2, -7) as the two points. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

m = (-7 - (-2)) / (2 - 3) = -5 / -1 = 5

Hence, the slope of line B is 5.

Since the slopes of line A and line B are not equal (4 ≠ 5),

Therefore, by the slope the answer will be they are not parallel.

Six consecutive numbers added up to a total of 45 what is the highest of these numbers

Answers

Answer:

11......

Step-by-step explanation:

Just figured what numbers fit..

Do it in my head

The highest number is 10.

Let the numbers be a, a+1, a+2, a+3, a+4 and a+5.

Then, we will add all the numbers and equate them to 45. This will be:

a + (a + 1) + (a + 2) + (a + 3) + (a + 4) + (a + 5) = 45

6a + 15 = 45

Collect like terms

6a = 45 - 15

6a = 30

a = 30/6

a = 5

Smallest number = 5

Then, the largest number will be:

a + 5

Since a = 5

a + 5 = 5 + 5 = 10

In conclusion, the highest number is 10.

Answer:

its $63.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula (b) and replacing the given values:

Sale Price = Original Price - Amount Saved. So,

Sale Price = 79.95 - 15.99

Sale Price = $63.96 (answer).

This means the cost of the item to you is $63.96.

You will pay $63.96 for a item with original price of $79.95 when discounted 20%.

In this example, if you buy an item at $79.95 with 20% discount, you will pay 79.95 - 15.99 = 63.96 dollars.

Answer:

$63.96

Step-by-step explanation:

$79.95 = 100%

The jacket is on sale for 20% off, therefore it is 100% - 20% = 80% or 0.8

0.8 x $79.95 = $63.96

"Unbounded" means that instances of the queue does not have a fixed capacity: any number of items can be inserted without removing an item. This means you will have to use dynamic memory allocation to grow and shrink the queue as items are inserted and removed."Items" can be anything - they are represented by a pointer. It is up to the client (i.e., the code using the implementation) to ensure that the void * that is returned is cast to the actual type. Note that, unless everything placed into the queue is of the same type, there is no way for the client code to know what to cast the void *pointer returned by pq_next() to. So the best thing is for each instance of pq_t to be used to store only one type of item.You will define a type:typedef struct { /* your code here */ } pq_t;You will also define three functions:pq_t *pq_create(void) { /* your code here */ } Creates and initializes a priority queue instance and returns a pointer to it. Returns NULL on error (e.g., OS out of memory - should never happen). This includes creating and initializing thevoid pq_insert(pq_t *q, void *item, short prio) { /* your code here */ } insert the given item into the given queue at the given priority. This operation never blocks. If item A has priority x, and item B has priority y, and x > y, then item A will be returned before item B. Negative priorities are allowed.void *pq_next(pq_t *q) { /* your code here */ } Returns the item in the given queue that was inserted with the highest priority. If there is more than one item with the same priority, returns the oldest one. If the queue is empty, this operation blocks until an item is inserted.You may implement the queue abstraction any way you want, but you must use pthread_mutex_t and pthread_cond_t to synchronize access to your data structure, since it will be used by multiple threads at the same time. (In particular, your definition of pq_t must include at least one variable of type pthread_mutex_t and one of type pthread_cond_t.) You will also need to use malloc() and free() to dynamically adjust the size of the data structure.
