It is estimated that 52% of drivers text while driving.
A. What is the probability that exactly 3 drivers text while driving if a police officer pulls over five drivers?
B. What is the probability the next driver texting while driving that the police officer pulls over is the fifth driver?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.324 = 32.4% probability that exactly 3 drivers text while driving if a police officer pulls over five drivers

b) 0.0276 = 2.76% probability the next driver texting while driving that the police officer pulls over is the fifth driver.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each driver pulled, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are texting, or they are not. The probability of a driver being texting is independent of any other drivers. This 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.

It is estimated that 52% of drivers text while driving.

This means that [tex]p = 0.52[/tex]

A. What is the probability that exactly 3 drivers text while driving if a police officer pulls over five drivers?

This is [tex]P(X = 3)[/tex] when [tex]n = 5[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.52)^{3}.(0.48)^{2} = 0.324[/tex]

0.324 = 32.4% probability that exactly 3 drivers text while driving if a police officer pulls over five drivers.

B. What is the probability the next driver texting while driving that the police officer pulls over is the fifth driver?

None of the first four([tex]P(X = 0)[/tex] when [tex]n = 4[/tex]), and then the fifth, with 52% probability. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.52)^{0}.(0.48)^{4} = 0.0531[/tex]

0.0531*0.52 = 0.0276

0.0276 = 2.76% probability the next driver texting while driving that the police officer pulls over is the fifth driver.

What is the standard deviation of the distribution?


A) 1.16

B) 1.08

C) 1.41

D) 2.98

Answers

The answer is B I know this

The standard deviation of the distribution is 1.08.

Option B is the correct answer.

What is a standard deviation?

The standard deviation measures how spread out the data is from the mean, and it is a measure of the average distance of the data points from the mean.

We have,

To find the standard deviation of the distribution, we first need to calculate the expected value (mean) of X.

The expected value of X is:

E(X) = (4)(0.4) + (3)(0.32) + (2)(0.17) + (1)(0.08) + (0)(0.03)

= 1.6 + 0.96 + 0.34 + 0.08 + 0

= 2.98

Next, we need to calculate the variance of X:

Var(X) = (4 - 2.98)²(0.4) + (3 - 2.98)²(0.32)

+ (2 - 2.98)²(0.17) + (1 - 2.98)²(0.08) + (0 - 2.98)²(0.03)

= 0.64(0.4) + 0.0004(0.32) + 0.7921(0.17) + 5.4084(0.08) + 8.6404(0.03)

= 0.256 + 0.000128 + 0.134257 + 0.432672 + 0.259212

= 1.082

The standard deviation of X is the square root of the variance:

So,

SD(X) = √(Var(X))

= √(1.082)

= 1.04 (approximately)

Thus,

The standard deviation of the distribution is 1.08.

Answers

Answer:

a) The value of q is 0.2.

b) E(X) = 1.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

The sum of all the probabilities must be 1. So

[tex]0.3 + x + 0.1 + 0.15 + 0.25 = 1[/tex]

[tex]x + 0.8 = 1[/tex]

[tex]x = 0.2[/tex]

The value of q is 0.2.

Question b:

Multiplication of each value of x by its probability. So

[tex]E(X) = 0*0.3 + 1*0.2 + 2*0.1 + 3*0.15 + 4*0.25 = 1.85[/tex]

So the answer is E(X) = 1.85.

Find the value of y.

Answers

Answer:

y = 48°

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of an inscribed angle is half the value of the arc it subtends.

The angle marked x subtends the arc marked 66°, so has a value of ...

x = 66°/2

x = 33°

The value of y is similarly found.

y = 96°/2

y = 48°

The angle marked with a dot is an external angle of the triangle, so is the sum of the remote internal angles, x and y:

dot angle = x + y = 33° +48° = 81°

Of course, angle z is the supplement of this:

z = 180° -81°  

z = 99°

what is x

Answers

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

i am smart

Answer:

X=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

8x + 7 = 6x + 15

Reorder the terms:

7 + 8x = 6x + 15

Reorder the terms:

7 + 8x = 15 + 6x

Solving

7 + 8x = 15 + 6x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.

7 + 8x + -6x = 15 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 8x + -6x = 2x

7 + 2x = 15 + 6x + -6x

Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0

7 + 2x = 15 + 0

7 + 2x = 15

Add '-7' to each side of the equation.

7 + -7 + 2x = 15 + -7

Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0

0 + 2x = 15 + -7

2x = 15 + -7

Combine like terms: 15 + -7 = 8

2x = 8

Divide each side by '2'.

the parent cosine function is transformed to create the function m(x) =-2cos(x+π). which graphed function has the same amplitude as function m

Answers

Answer: Graph D

Step-by-step explanation: Got it right on plato

The graph of a function with the same amplitude as m(x) is graph D.

Which graphed function has the same amplitude as m(x)?

The general cosine function is written as:

f(x) = A*cos(kx) + M

Where A is the amplitude, k is the angular frequency, and M is the midline.

In our case:

m(x) = -2*cos(x+π).

The amplitude is -2, which means that the distance between a peak and a trough must be twice the absolute value of the amplitude:

2*|-2| = 4

With this in mind, the only graph that meets this requirement is the graph D.

Jenelle invested $_____ into Fund A.
Jenelle invested $_____ into Fund B.

Answers

Answer:

Jenelle invested $ 13,000 in Fund A and $ 4,000 in Fund B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Jenelle invested $ 17000 in two mutual funds, and Fund A earned 4% profit during the first year, while Fund B suffered a 1.5% loss, if she received a total of $ 460 profit, to determine how much had she invested in each mutual fund, the following calculation must be performed:

17000 x 0.04 - 0 x 0.015 = 680

15000 x 0.04 - 2000 x 0.015 = 570

10,000 x 0.04 - 7000 x 0.015 = 295

12500 x 0.04 - 4500 x 0.015 = 432.5

13000 x 0.04 - 4000 x 0.015 = 460

Therefore, Jenelle invested $ 13,000 in Fund A and $ 4,000 in Fund B.
