Suppose that Haley encounter two traffic lights on her commute to GGC campus. Based on

her past experience, she judge that the probability is 0.35 that the first light will be red when she gets to it,

0.45 that the second light will be red, and 0.20 that both lights will be red. Let R1 denote the event that the

first light is red, and let R2 denote the event that the second light is red.

a) Determine the probability that at least one light will be red. (Show how you calculate this.)

b) Determine the conditional probability that the second light will be red given that the first light is

red. (Show how you calculate this.)

c) Are the events R1 and R2 independent? Justify your answer numerically.

d) Are the events R1 and R2 disjoint (mutually exclusive)? Justify your answer numerically.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is,

P (R₁) = 0.35

P (R₂) = 0.45

P (R₁ ∩ R₂) = 0.20

(a)

Compute the probability that at least one light will be red as follows:

P (at least one light will be red) = P (R₁ ∪ R₂)

                                                    = P (R₁) + P (R₂) - P (R₁ ∩ R₂)

                                                    = 0.35 + 0.45 - 0.20

                                                    = 0.60

Thus, the probability that at least one light will be red is 0.60.

(b)

Compute the conditional probability that the second light will be red given that the first light is red as follows:

[tex]P(R_{2}|R_{1})=\frac{P(R_{1}\cap R_{2})}{P(R_{1})}[/tex]

                [tex]=\frac{0.20}{0.35}\\\\=0.571428\\\\\approx 0.57[/tex]

Thus, the conditional probability that the second light will be red given that the first light is red is 0.57.

(c)

If two events, say A and B are independent then:

P (A|B) = P (A).

The value of P (R₂ | R₁) = 0.57.

And the value of P (R₂) = 0.45

P (R₂ | R₁) ≠ P (R₂)

Thus, the events R₁ and R₂ are not independent.

(d)

If two events, say A and B are mutually exclusive then:

P (A ∩ B) = 0

The value of P (R₁ ∩ R₂) = 0.20.

Thus, the events R₁ and R₂ are not mutually exclusive.

D. Fail to reject the claim that the proportion of Americans that have seen a UFO is equal to 2 in a thousand when that proportion is actually greater than 2 in a thousand.

Answers

Answer:

B. Reject the claim that the proportion of Americans that have seen a UFO is equal to 2 in a thousand when that proportion is actually 2 in a thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

The type I error is rejection of true null hypothesis.

In the given scenario our hypothesis are

Null hypothesis: The proportion of Americans that have seen a UFO is equal to 2 in a thousand.

Alternative hypothesis: The proportion of Americans that have seen a UFO is less than 2 in a thousand.

Type I error is the rejection of true null hypothesis so, in this case type I error is rejection of claim  that the proportion of Americans that have seen a UFO is equal to 2 in a thousand when that proportion is actually 2 in a thousand.

Answers

5x² + 2x - 3 < 0

5x² + 2x < 3

The radius of a circle is 2 inches. What is the circle's area?

Answers

Answer:

A= 12.57 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a circle is A=πr2. Substitute 2 for r, square it, and multiply it by pi (3.14.) The answer is 12.57 inches squared.

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\tt a\approx 12.57 \ in^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle can be found using the following formula.

[tex]a= \pi r^2[/tex]

The radius of the circle is 2 inches.

[tex]r= 2 \ in[/tex]

Substitute the value into the formula.

[tex]a=\pi ( 2 \ in)^2[/tex]

Evaluate the exponent.

(2 in)²= 2 in * 2 in = 4 in²

[tex]a= \pi(4 \ in^2)[/tex]

Multiply.

[tex]a=12.5663706 \ in^2[/tex]

Round to the nearest hundredth. The 6 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 6 to a 7.

[tex]a\approx12.57 \ in^2[/tex]

The area of the circle is about 12.57 square inches.

Using the following conversions between the metric and U.S. systems, convert the measurement. Round your answer to the nearest tenth as needed

A triangle has a base length of 10 inches and a height of 4 inches.
What is the area of the triangle?

Answers

Answer:

No, The answer is 20. Remember area of triangle equals 1/2bh (or half of base and height multiplied.)

The area of triangle that has a base length of 10 inches and a height of 4 inches is 20 square inches.

What is area of a triangle?

The area of a triangle is one half the product of its base multiplied by height. Mathematically -

Area [Δ] = 1/2 x base x height

Given is a triangle (Δ) has a base length of 10 inches and a height of 4 inches.

We can write -

Base Length [B] = 10 inches

Height of triangle [H] = 4 inches

Area of triangle (Δ) = 1/2 x B x H

A(Δ) = 1/2 x B x H

A(Δ) = 1/2 x 10 x 4

A(Δ) = 20 square inches

Therefore, the area of triangle that has a base length of 10 inches and a height of 4 inches is 20 square inches.

find a formula for the nth partial sum of each series 4+(4/3)+(4/9) and use it to find the series’ sum of the series converges.

Answers

Answer:

We can see that:

a₀ = 4

a₁ = 4/3

a₂ = 4/9.

We easily can see that the n-th therm of this will be:

aₙ = 4/3^n.

Now, the denominator increases as n increases, then for a really large n, aₙ will tend asymptotically to zero. This means that this summation converges.

We can write this summation as:

4*∑(1/3)^n.

The sum for the first N-th therms is:

We know that for a summation:

1 + r + r^2 + r^3 + ... + r^N = (1 - r^(N + 1))/(1 - r)

4 + 4*(1/3) + 4*(1/3)^2 + ... + 4*(1/3)^N = 4*( 1 - (1/3)^(N + 1))/(1 - (1/3))

Now, for the complete sum we have that:

n = {0, 1, 2, ...}

We know that for a summation:

∑a*r^n

with n = {0, 1, ...}

the sum is = a/(1 + r).

in this case we have:

a = 4, r = 1/3.

Then the sum is:

S = 4/(1 - 1/3) = 4/(2/3) = 3*2 = 6

When Alexander moved into a new house, he planted two trees in his backyard. At

the time of planting, Tree A was 36 inches tall and Tree B was 21 inches tall. Each

year thereafter, Tree A grew by 6 inches per year and Tree B grew by 9 inches per

year. Let A represent the height of Tree At years after being planted and let B

represent the height of Tree Bt years after being planted. Write an equation for each

situation, in terms of t, and determine which tree is taller after 3 years.

Answers

Answer:

The equations for each situation are

A = 36 + 6t

B = 21 + 9t

After 3 years, Tree A is taller.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Tree A was 36 inches tall and Tree B was 21 inches tall at the time of planting; and

Tree A grew by 6 inches per year and Tree B grew by 9 inches per  year after planting.

For Tree A,

Given a period of t years after planting, the height would have increased by 6t

A = 36 + 6t

For Tree B,

Given a period of t years after planting, the height would have increased by 9t

B = 21 + 9t

To determine, which tree is taller after 3 years,

t = 3

For Tree A

A = 36 + 6t

A = 36 + 6(3)

A = 36 + 18

A = 54 inches

For Tree B

B = 21 + 9t

B = 21 + 9(3)

B = 21 + 27

B = 48 inches

Hence, After 3 years, Tree A is taller.

g Statesville population in 2010 was about 24,700, and was growing by about 1% each year. If this continues, what will Statesville population be in 2018? [Round to the nearest person.]

Answers

Answer:

26,676population

Step-by-step explanation:

Population in 2010 = 24,700

If it grows yearly by 1%, increment per year is expressed as:

1% of 24,700

= 1/100×24700

= 247 populations

After 8years, population increase will be 247×8 = 1976 population

Statesville population in 2018 will be expressed as;

Population in 2010+increase after 8years

= 24700+1976

= 26,676 population

Hence statesville population in 2018 will be 26,676population
