Small library contains 700 novels. how many ways can You check out three novels

Answers

Answer 1

The first book you select can be any one of 700.

. . . For each of those ...

The second book can be any one of the other 699.

. . . For each of those ...

The third book can be any one of the remining 698.

The total number of ways to gather three books from the shelves into your hands is  (700 · 699 · 698)  =  341,531,400 ways .

BUT ...

When you bring three books to the check-out counter, Marian the Librarian doesn't know in which order you took them down off the shelves.  You could have gathered the same three books in (3 · 2 · 1) = 6 different ways.

So, even though there are 341,531,400 ways to gather up three books, there are only (341,531,400 / 6) = 56,921,900 different GROUPS of three books that you can choose to take home.

A history instructor has given the same pretest and the same final examination each semester. He is interested in determining if there is a relationship between the scores of the two tests. He computes the linear correlation coefficient and notes that it is 1.15. What does this correlation coefficient value tell the instructor?

Answers

Answer:

The history instructor has made a computational error.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the data represents the linear correlation coefficient and notes it is 1.15

The linear correlation coefficient value which is 1.15 does tell the instructor that the history instructor has made a computational error due to the linear correlation coefficient value falls in the range -1 to +1.

Therefore, the history instructor has made a computational error.

The mean length of 4 childrens' big finger is 14cm. The mean length of 9 adults' big finger is 16.1cm. What is the mean length (rounded to 2 DP) of these 13 people's big finger?

Answers

Answer:

The mean length of the 13 people's big finger is 15.45 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

mean length of 4 childrens' big finger, x' = 14cm

mean length of 9 adults' big finger is 16.1cm, x'' = 16.1cm

Let the total length of the 4 childrens' big finger = t

[tex]x' = \frac{t}{n} \\\\x' = \frac{t}{4}\\\\t = 4x'\\\\t = 4 *14\\\\t = 56 \ cm[/tex]

Let the total length of the 9 adults' big finger = T

[tex]x'' = \frac{T}{N} \\\\x'' = \frac{T}{9}\\\\T = 9x''\\\\T = 9*16.1\\\\T = 144.9 \ cm[/tex]

The total length of the 13 people's big finger = t + T

                                                                           = 56 + 144.9

                                                                            =200.9 cm

The mean length of these 13 people's big finger;

x''' = (200.9) / 13

x''' = 15.4539 cm

x''' = 15.45 cm (2 DP)

Therefore, the mean length of the 13 people's big finger is 15.45 cm

In a road-paving process, asphalt mix is delivered to the hopper of the paver by trucks that haul the material from the batching plant. The article "Modeling of Simultaneously Continuous and Stochastic Construction Activities for Simulation" (J. of Construction Engr. and Mgmnt., 2013: 1037-1045) proposed a normal distribution with mean value 8.46 min and standard deviation .913 min for the rv X 5 truck haul time.a. What is the probability that haul time will be at least 10 min? Will exceed 10 min?b. What is the probability that haul time will exceed 15 min?c. What is the probability that haul time will be between 8 and 10 min?d. What value c is such that 98% of all haul times are in the interval from 8.46 2 c to 8.46 1 c?e. If four haul times are independently selected, what is the probability that at least one of them exceeds 10 min?

Answers

Answer:

a) Probability that haul time will be at least 10 min = P(X ≥ 10) ≈ P(X > 10) = 0.0455

b) Probability that haul time be exceed 15 min = P(X > 15) = 0.000

c) Probability that haul time will be between 8 and 10 min = P(8 < X < 10) = 0.6460

d) The value of c is such that 98% of all haul times are in the interval from (8.46 - c) to (8.46 + c)

c = 2.12

e) If four haul times are independently selected, the probability that at least one of them exceeds 10 min = 0.1700

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a normal distribution problem with

Mean = μ = 8.46 min

Standard deviation = σ = 0.913 min

a) Probability that haul time will be at least 10 min = P(X ≥ 10)

We first normalize/standardize 10 minutes

The standardized score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - μ)/σ = (10 - 8.46)/0.913 = 1.69

To determine the required probability

P(X ≥ 10) = P(z ≥ 1.69)

We'll use data from the normal distribution table for these probabilities

P(X ≥ 10) = P(z ≥ 1.69) = 1 - (z < 1.69)

= 1 - 0.95449 = 0.04551

The probability that the haul time will exceed 10 min is approximately the same as the probability that the haul time will be at least 10 mins = 0.0455

b) Probability that haul time will exceed 15 min = P(X > 15)

We first normalize 15 minutes.

z = (x - μ)/σ = (15 - 8.46)/0.913 = 7.16

To determine the required probability

P(X > 15) = P(z > 7.16)

We'll use data from the normal distribution table for these probabilities

P(X > 15) = P(z > 7.16) = 1 - (z ≤ 7.16)

= 1 - 1.000 = 0.000

c) Probability that haul time will be between 8 and 10 min = P(8 < X < 10)

We normalize or standardize 8 and 10 minutes

For 8 minutes

z = (x - μ)/σ = (8 - 8.46)/0.913 = -0.50

For 10 minutes

z = (x - μ)/σ = (10 - 8.46)/0.913 = 1.69

The required probability

P(8 < X < 10) = P(-0.50 < z < 1.69)

We'll use data from the normal distribution table for these probabilities

P(8 < X < 10) = P(-0.50 < z < 1.69)

= P(z < 1.69) - P(z < -0.50)

= 0.95449 - 0.30854

= 0.64595 = 0.6460 to 4 d.p.

d) What value c is such that 98% of all haul times are in the interval from (8.46 - c) to (8.46 + c)?

98% of the haul times in the middle of the distribution will have a lower limit greater than only the bottom 1% of the distribution and the upper limit will be lesser than the top 1% of the distribution but greater than 99% of fhe distribution.

Let the lower limit be x'

Let the upper limit be x"

P(x' < X < x") = 0.98

P(X < x') = 0.01

P(X < x") = 0.99

Let the corresponding z-scores for the lower and upper limit be z' and z"

P(X < x') = P(z < z') = 0.01

P(X < x") = P(z < z") = 0.99

Using the normal distribution tables

z' = -2.326

z" = 2.326

z' = (x' - μ)/σ

-2.326 = (x' - 8.46)/0.913

x' = (-2.326×0.913) + 8.46 = -2.123638 + 8.46 = 6.336362 = 6.34

z" = (x" - μ)/σ

2.326 = (x" - 8.46)/0.913

x" = (2.326×0.913) + 8.46 = 2.123638 + 8.46 = 10.583638 = 10.58

Therefore, P(6.34 < X < 10.58) = 98%

8.46 - c = 6.34

8.46 + c = 10.58

c = 2.12

e) If four haul times are independently selected, what is the probability that at least one of them exceeds 10 min?

This is a binomial distribution problem because:

- A binomial experiment is one in which the probability of success doesn't change with every run or number of trials. (4 haul times are independently selected)

- It usually consists of a number of runs/trials with only two possible outcomes, a success or a failure. (Only 4 haul times are selected)

- The outcome of each trial/run of a binomial experiment is independent of one another. (The probability that each haul time exceeds 10 minutes = 0.0455)

Probability that at least one of them exceeds 10 mins = P(X ≥ 1)

= P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

= 1 - P(X = 0)

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = 4 haul times are independently selected

x = Number of successes required = 0

p = probability of success = probability that each haul time exceeds 10 minutes = 0.0455

q = probability of failure = probability that each haul time does NOT exceeds 10 minutes = 1 - p = 1 - 0.0455 = 0.9545

P(X = 0) = ⁴C₀ (0.0455)⁰ (0.9545)⁴⁻⁰ = 0.83004900044

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

= 1 - 0.83004900044 = 0.16995099956 = 0.1700

However, method B is substantially more 3. time consuming and is therefore used only 20% of the time (method A is used the other 80% of the time). The following notations are suggested:
A-Method A is used.
B-Method B is used.

a) notation with their respective values (four of these).
b) Draw a Probability Tree representing each of the probabilities mentioned above.
c) What is the likelihood a person does not learn Spanish?
d) A student learned the spanish successfully. What is the probability that they were taught by method B?

Answers

(a) Shown below.

(b) Shown below.

(c) The probability that a person does not learn Spanish is 0.18.

(d) The probability that method B was used given that a student learned the Spanish successfully is 0.83.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Consider the provided data.

[tex]P(A)=0.20\\P(B)=0.80\\P(L|A)=0.70\\P(L|B)=0.85[/tex]

Then the probability of not learning Spanish using the respective methods are:

[tex]P(L'|A)=1-P(L|A)=1-0.70=0.30\\\\P(L'|B)=1-P(L|B)=1-0.70=0.15[/tex]

(b)

The Probability Tree representing each of the probabilities mentioned above is attached below.

(c)

Compute the probability that a person does not learn Spanish as follows:

[tex]P(L')=P(L'|A)P(A)+P(L'|B)P(B)[/tex]

         [tex]=(0.30\times 0.20)+(0.15\times 0.80)\\\\=0.06+0.12\\\\=0.18[/tex]

Thus, the probability that a person does not learn Spanish is 0.18.

(d)

Compute the probability that method B was used given that a student learned the Spanish successfully as follows:

[tex]P(B|L)=\frac{P(L|B)P(B)}{P(L|A)P(A)+P(L|B)P(B)}[/tex]

            [tex]=\frac{(0.85\times 0.80)}{(0.70\times 0.20)+(0.85\times 0.80)}\\\\=\frac{0.68}{0.14+0.68}\\\\=0.82927\\\\\approx 0.83[/tex]

Thus, the probability that method B was used given that a student learned the Spanish successfully is 0.83.

I am looking to decrease my bill by 25%. Can you look at my current plan and tell me what I can remove to achieve this reduction in cost? My current bill is $140.00 per month

Answers

Answer: $35

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the current bill of the person is $140.00 per month and that the person wants to decrease the bill by 25%.

To know the amount that the person needs to deduct, we have to calculate 25% of $140.00. This will be:

= 25% of $140

= 25/100 × $140

= 1/4 × $140

= 0.25 × $140

= $35

The person will need to remove $35. The person will now pay ($140 - $35) = $105 monthly.

The amount that could be removed to achieve the specified reduction is $35.00

From the question,

We are to determine what should be removed from the current bill to decrease it by 25%

From the given information,

The current bill = $140.00 per month

Now, we will determine 25% of $140.00

That is,

[tex]\frac{25}{100}\times \$140.00[/tex]

= 25 × $1.40

= $35.00

Hence, the amount that could be removed to achieve the specified reduction is $35.00

a group of girls bought 72 rainbow hairbands ,144 brown and black hairbands and 216 bright colored hairbands .what is the largest possible number of girls in the group

Answers

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

We are assuming that all girls in the group bought the same number of items.

Therefore, we need to find the highest common factor of 72, 144 and 216.

HCF

72 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

144 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3

216 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 3

The product of the emboldened numbers is the highest common factor.

That is:

2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 = 72

Therefore, the largest possible number of girls in the group is 72.
