Answer:
a) 0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.
b) 0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly
c) 0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.
d) 0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly
Step-by-step explanation:
For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he answers it correctly, or he does not. The probability of answering a question correctly is independent of any other question. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct
This means that the probability of correctly answering a question guessing is [tex]p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2[/tex]
10 questions.
This means that [tex]n = 10[/tex]
A) What is the probability that he will answer all questions correctly?
This is [tex]P(X = 10)[/tex]
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} = 0.0000001024[/tex]
0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.
B) What is the probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly?
None correctly, so [tex]P(X = 0)[/tex]
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074[/tex]
0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly
C) What is the probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly?
This is
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]
Since [tex]P(X = 0) = 0.1074[/tex], from item b.
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - 0.1074 = 0.8926[/tex]
0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.
D) What is the probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly?
This is
[tex]P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.2)^{5}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0264[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{4} = 0.0055[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{10,7}.(0.2)^{7}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.0008[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.2)^{8}.(0.8)^{2} = 0.0001[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.2)^{9}.(0.8)^{1} \approx 0[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} \approx 0[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0264 + 0.0055 + 0.0008 + 0.0001 + 0 + 0 = 0.0328[/tex]
0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly
A certain company sends 50% of its overnight mail parcels via express mail service E1. Of these parcels, 1% arrive after the guaranteed delivery time (denote the event late delivery by L). Suppose that 10% of the overnight parcels are sent via express mail service E2 and the remaining 40% are sent via E3. Of those sent via E2 on 2% arrive late, whereas 5% of the parcels handled by E3 arrive late.
A. If a record of an overnight mailing is randomly selected from the company's file, what is the probability that the parcel went via El and was late?
B. What is the probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late?
C. If a randomly selected parcel has arrived on time, what is the probability that is was not sent via E1?
Answer:
A. 0.005 = 0.5% probability that the parcel went via El and was late
B. 0.027 = 2.7% probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late.
C. 0.8148 = 81.48% probability that is was not sent via E1
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. If a record of an overnight mailing is randomly selected from the company's file, what is the probability that the parcel went via El and was late?
50% are chosen via E1, and of those, 1% were late. So
[tex]p = 0.5*0.01 = 0.005[/tex]
0.005 = 0.5% probability that the parcel went via El and was late
B. What is the probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late?
1% of 50%(via E1)
2% of 10%(via E2)
5% of 40%(via E3).
So
[tex]p = 0.01*0.5 + 0.02*0.1 + 0.05*0.4 = 0.027[/tex]
0.027 = 2.7% probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late.
C. If a randomly selected parcel has arrived on time, what is the probability that is was not sent via E1?
Conditional Probability.
Event A: Late
Event B: Not sent via E1
0.027 = 2.7% probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late, which means that [tex]P(A) = 0.027[/tex]
Late and not sent via E1:
2% of 10%(via E2)
5% of 40%(via E3).
So
[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.02*0.1 + 0.05*0.4 = 0.022[/tex]
Desired probability:
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.022}{0.027} = 0.8148[/tex]
0.8148 = 81.48% probability that is was not sent via E1

The coordinate point F(-8, 0) after a dilation with scale factor of 0.25, centered at the origin, becomes the point
O (-2,0)
O (-2, 0.25)
O (2, 0.25)
O (2,0)
Answer:
[tex](-2,\, 0)[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Dilate a point [tex](x,\, y)[/tex] by a scale factor of [tex]r[/tex] with [tex](a,\, b)[/tex] as the center, and the resultant point would be at [tex](a + r\, (x - a),\, b + r\, (y - a))[/tex].
In this question:
Point to dilate: [tex](x,\, y) = (-8,\, 0)[/tex].
Scale factor: [tex]r = 0.25[/tex].
Center of dilation: [tex](a,\, b) = (0,\, 0)[/tex].
The resultant point would be:
[tex](0 + 0.25\, (-8 - 0),\, 0 + 0.25\, (0 - 0))[/tex], which simplifies to [tex](-2,\, 0)[/tex].

Rotation 180° about the origin
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
to rotate about origin by 180 ° also means to change ( x, y) ⇔( -x,-y)
the double arrows just mean to change into.. or "transform" ( I think that there might have even been a movie about this, called "transformers" :D JK)
T=( -2, 1)
S = ( -4, 3)
R = ( -5, -2)
use the transform ( x, y) ⇔( -x,-y)
T' = (2,-1)
S' = ( 4, -3 )
R' = (5 , 2 )
if you draw this on a piece of graph paper, you'll see it's the triangle spun 180 ° around the origin :)
3) Suppose you deposit $10,000 in a savings account that pays interest at an annual rate of 5%
compounded quarterly. How many years will it take for the balance in your savings account to reach
$12,000?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
3.67 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount is found using the compound interest formula.
A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)
for principal P invested at annual rate r compounded n times per year for t years.
We can solve this for t:
A/P = (1 +r/n)^(nt) . . . . divide by P
log(A/P) = (nt)log(1 +r/n) . . . . take the logarithm
t = log(A/P)/(n·log(1 +r/n)) . . . . divide by the coefficient of t
Filling in the given values, we find ...
t = log(12000/10000)/(4·log(1 +0.05/4)) ≈ 3.6692
It will take about 3.67 years for the balance to reach $12,000.
Answer:
the answer is 3.67 years

6. If a person adopts a pet, it's either a cat or a dog. 25% of the time, it's a cat and 75% of the time, it's a dog. If you meet someone at the shelter that adopted three pets, what's the probability that they got either: three cats or three dogs? Show your calculation and give your single answer as a decimal.
Answer:
0.0156 probability that they got three cats.
0.4219 probability that they got three dogs.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each person there are only two possible outcomes. Either they adopted a dog, or a cat. The probability of a person adopting a cat or a dog is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
Three people:
This means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]
What's the probability that they got three cats?
25% of the time it's a cat adopted, which means that [tex]p = 0.25[/tex]
This is P(X = 3). So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{0} = 0.0156[/tex]
0.0156 probability that they got three cats.
What's the probability that they got three dogs?
75% of the time it's a dog adopted, which means that [tex]p = 0.75[/tex]
This is P(X = 3). So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.75)^{3}.(0.25)^{0} = 0.4219[/tex]
0.4219 probability that they got three dogs.

-8x + y = -16
-3x + y = -5
Answer:
x= 11/3
y= 6
Step-by-step explanation:
-8x+y=-16
-3x+y = - 5
Multiply the second equation by -1, we get,
-8x + y = -16
3x -y = 5
--------------------
-3x = -11
x= 11/3
x=11/3. so,
-3×11/3 +y = -5
-11+y=-5
y= -5+11
y=6

The weekly amount of money spent on maintenance and repairs by a company was observed, over a long period of time, to be approximately normally distributed with mean $440 and standard deviation $10. How much should be budgeted for weekly repairs and maintenance so that the probability the budgeted amount will be exceeded in a given week is only 0.05
Answer:
$456.45 should be budgeted.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Mean $440 and standard deviation $10.
This means that [tex]\mu = 440, \sigma = 10[/tex]
How much should be budgeted for weekly repairs and maintenance so that the probability the budgeted amount will be exceeded in a given week is only 0.05?
This is x for which
P(X > x) = 0.05
So this is the 100 - 5 = 95th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95, so X when Z = 1.645.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]1.645 = \frac{X - 440}{10}[/tex]
[tex]X - 440 = 10*1.645[/tex]
[tex]X = 456.45[/tex]
$456.45 should be budgeted.

How much money is made each day at Cortez Gold Mine
Answer:
[tex]\$633158000[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]1\ \text{ton of raw material}=1\ \text{ounce of gold}[/tex]
1 truck hauls 394 ton of raw material
[tex]1\ \text{truck}=394\ \text{ton of raw material}=394\ \text{ounce of gold}[/tex]

Find the perimeter of the triangle to the right
9514 1404 393
Answer:
76.5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an interesting question. The side lengths are proportional to the sine of the opposite angle. So, we can find a scale factor for the given length by adding the sines of the angles and dividing by the sine of the angle opposite the given side.
The three angles are ...
43°, 63° and 74° (the supplement of the sum of the other two)
So, the scale factor mentioned above is ...
(sin(43°) +sin(63°) +sin(74°))/sin(74°) ≈ 2.636396
Then the perimeter of the triangle is ...
(2.636396)(29) ≈ 76.5 . . . units
