In a certain city district the need for money to buy drugs is stated as the reason for 70% of all thefts. Find the probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

9.72% probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each theft, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the need to buy drugs is the reason of the theft, or it is not. Each theft is independent of each other. So 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.

In a certain city district the need for money to buy drugs is stated as the reason for 70% of all thefts.

This means that [tex]p = 0.7[/tex]

Find the probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

This is P(X = 3) when n = 7. So

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

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.7)^{3}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.0972[/tex]

9.72% probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

Among 21- to 25-year-olds, 29% say they have driven while under the influence of alcohol. Suppose that three 21- to 25-year-olds are selected at random. a)What is the probability that all three have driven while under the influence of alcohol

Answers

Answer:

P(3) = 0.0244

P(3) = 2.44%

the probability that all three selected have driven while under the influence of alcohol is 2.44% or 0.0244

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

The probability that they have driven while under the influence of alcohol is;

P = 29% = 0.29

the probability that all three selected have driven while under the influence of alcohol is;

P(3) = P × P × P

P(3) = 0.29 × 0.29 × 0.29

P(3) = 0.024389

P(3) = 0.0244

P(3) = 2.44%

the probability that all three selected have driven while under the influence of alcohol is 2.44% or 0.0244

Answers

Answer:

1. (y - x)²  = 256

2. 128g needed to be added

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

9 + 5 + 2 + y + x = 2(8 + 4 + 1 + 3 + x)

16 + y + x = 32 + 2x

y - x = 16

∴ (y - x)²  = 256

2.

x = mass of alcohol to add

480 × 0.24 = 115.2 ← current mass of alcohol

0.4(480 + x) = 115.2 + x      (×5)

2(480 + x) = 576 + 5x

960 + 2x = 576 + 5x

Daniel deposits $300 into an account that earns 16% interest annually. Which equation can be used to model his account balance, y, after x years?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=300(1+0.16)^x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This account  can be  modeled using the compound interest formula.the compound interest formula is expressed as

 [tex]A= P(1+r )^t[/tex]

Where

A =final amount  = y

P=initial principal balance = $300

r=interest rate  = 16%= 0.16

t=number of time periods elapsed= x

Hence the equation to model his account balance/ final amount A (y) after time (x) years is

How many students have blonde hair?
How many students have dark hair?
How many students have red hair?

Answers

Answer:

(a)24

(b)8

(c)4

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of STudents in the Class = 36

Angle representing Students with Red Hair =40 degrees

Angle representing Students with Blonde Hair =240 degrees

Therefore:

(a)Number of Students with Blonde Hair

[tex]=\dfrac{240^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 36\\\\ =24$ students[/tex]

(b)Number of Students with Dark Hair

Angle representing students with dark hair = 360-(240+40)=80 degrees

Therefore:

Number of Students with Dark Hair

[tex]=\dfrac{80^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 36\\\\ =8$ students[/tex]

(c)Number of Students with Blonde Hair

[tex]=\dfrac{40^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 36\\\\ =4$ students[/tex]

There are 8 students that have blond hair

There are 24 students that have dark hair

There are 4 students that have red hair

Please find attached the pie chart used in answering this question

A pie chart is a graph that displays information in a circle. The circle is divided into slices which represent a numerical proportion. The sum of angles in a pie chart is 360 degrees

To determine the number of students with a type of hair, use this formula :

(degree of the slice that represents the hair type / 360) x total number of students in the class

Degree of the slice that represents blond hair = 360 - (240 + 40) = 80

Students that have blonde hair = [tex]\frac{80}{360}[/tex]  x 36 = 8

Students that have dark hair = [tex]\frac{240}{360}[/tex] x 36 = 24

At a gas station, 50% of the customers use regular gas, 30% use mid-grade gas and 20% use premium gas. Of those customers using regular gas, only 30% fill their tanks. Of those customers using mid-grade gas, 60% fill their tanks, whereas of those using premium, 50% fill their tanks. If the next customer fills the tank, what is the probability that he uses premium gas

Answers

Answer:

The probability is 0.2326 or 23.26%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a random customer fills their tank with premium gas is:

[tex]P( prem\ \&\ fill) = 0.2*0.5=0.10[/tex]

The probability that a random customer fills their tank is given by:

[tex]P(fill)=P( reg\ \&\ fill)+P( mid\ \&\ fill)+P( prem\ \&\ fill)\\P(fill) = 0.5*0.3+0.3*0.6+0.2*0.5\\P(fill) = 0.43[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that a customer used premium gas given that hey have filled their tank is:

[tex]P(prem| fill) = \frac{P( prem\ \&\ fill) }{P(fill)} \\P(prem| fill) =\frac{0.10}{0.43}=0.2326[/tex]

The probability is 0.2326 or 23.26%.

Find the area of a triangle bounded by the y-axis, the line f(x)=9−2/3x, and the line perpendicular to f(x) that passes through the origin. Area =

Answers

Answer:

The area of the triangle is 18.70 sq.units.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that a triangle is bounded by the y-axis, the line [tex]f(x)=y=9-\frac{2}{3}x[/tex].

The slope of the line is: [tex]m_{1}=-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

A perpendicular line passes through the origin to the line f (x).

The slope of this perpendicular line is:[tex]m_{2}=-\frac{1}{m_{1}}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

The equation of perpendicular line passing through origin is:

[tex]y=\frac{3}{2}x[/tex]

Compute the intersecting point between the lines as follows:

[tex]y=9-\frac{2}{3}x\\\\\frac{3}{2}x=9-\frac{2}{3}x\\\\\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{2}{3}x=9\\\\\frac{13}{6}x=9\\\\x=\frac{54}{13}[/tex]

The value of y is:

[tex]y=\frac{3}{2}x=\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{54}{13}=\frac{81}{13}[/tex]

The intersecting point is [tex](\frac{54}{13},\ \frac{81}{13})[/tex].

The y-intercept of the line f (x) is, 9, i.e. the point is (0, 9).

So, the triangle is  bounded by the points:

(0, 0), (0, 9) and [tex](\frac{54}{13},\ \frac{81}{13})[/tex]

Consider the diagram attached.

Compute the area of the triangle as follows:

[tex]\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}\times 9\times \frac{54}{13}=18.69231\approx 18.70[/tex]

Thus, the area of the triangle is 18.70 sq.units.

The relationship between the number of pencil sharpener a company can sell each week and the price of each sharpener p is given by the equation x = 2300 − 100 p At what price should the sharpeners be sold if the weekly revenue is to be $ 12000

Answers

Answer:

The price p could be any of $8 or $15 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is a relationship between the numbers of pencil sharpener x can sell each week and the price of each sharpener p.

x = 2300 - 100p

xp = 12000

therefore,

x = 12000/p

insert the value of x in the equation

x = 2300 - 100p

12000/p = 2300 - 100p

12000/p + 100p - 2300 = 0

multiply through by p

12000 + 100p² - 2300p = 0

100p² - 2300p + 12000 = 0

divide through by 100

p² - 23 + 120 = 0

Find the number that we can multiply to give 120 and add to give - 23. The number are -15 and - 8.

p² - 8p - 15p + 120 = 0

p(p - 8) - 15(p - 8) = 0

(p - 8)(p - 15)

p = 8 or 15

x = 2300 - 100p

x = 2300 - 100(8)

x = 2300 - 800

x = 1500  pencil sharpener sold

or

x = 2300 - 100(15)

x = 2300 - 1500

x = 800 pencil sharpener sold

The price could be any of $8 or $15 .
