Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 200 students in 7th grade

Volley ball players = 12% = 24

Baseball players = 15% = 30

Both players = 4

We have to find out the probability that a student plays either volley ball or baseball

No of students who play either base ball or volley ball =

24+30-4= 50

Probability that student plays either volleyball or baseball

=\frac{50}{200} =0.25

In percent this equals 25%

Option b

P(volleyball and baseball) = 4/200 x 100 = 2%
P(either volleyball or baseball) = P(volleyball ∪ baseball) = P(volleyball) + P(baseball) - P(volleyball and baseball) = 12% + 15% - 2% = 25%.

25% play either volleyball or baseball.

A bin of 5 transistors is known to contain 2 that are defective. The transistors are to be tested, one at a time, until the defe
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b)= \frac{1}{5-a C 1} * \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2} = \frac{1}{5C2}=\frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

For the random variable N_1 we define the possible values for this variable on this case [1,2,3,4,5] . We know that we have 2 defective transistors so then we have 5C2 (where C means combinatory) ways to select or permute the transistors in order to detect the first defective:

5C2 = \frac{5!}{2! (5-2)!}= \frac{5*4*3!}{2! 3!}= \frac{5*4}{2*1}=10

We want the first detective transistor on the ath place, so then the first a-1 places are non defective transistors, so then we can define the probability for the random variable N_1 like this:

P(N_1 = a) = \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2}

For the distribution of N_2 we need to take in count that we are finding a conditional distribution. N_2 given N_1 =a, for this case we see that N_2 \in [1,2,...,5-a], so then exist 5-a C 1 ways to reorder the remaining transistors. And if we want b additional steps to obtain a second defective transistor we have the following probability defined:

P(N_2 =b | N_1 = a) = \frac{1}{5-a C 1}

And if we want to find the joint probability we just need to do this:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b) = P(N_2 = b | N_1 = a) P(N_1 =a)

And if we multiply the probabilities founded we got:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b)= \frac{1}{5-a C 1} * \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2} = \frac{1}{5C2}=\frac{1}{10}

The following numerically ordered sequence of numbers has a mean of 17 and a median of 18.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

a = 9

b = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

DO B FIRST

The mean is the average of all the terms (numbers) in the sequence

To find the average you find the sum of the terms and divided the sum by the number of terms there are.

The mean times the number of terms equals the sum of all the terms subtract the terms that you know from the sum to get A

a = 17(10)-7-12-15-17-19-20-22-24-25

a = 170-161

a = 9

The median is found by taking the average of the two middle terms

Our middle terms are 17 and B

the median times 2 equals the sum of the two terms and then subtract the term you know from the sum

b = 18(2)-17

b = 36-17

b = 19

A furniture company is introducing a new line of lounge chairs next quarter. These are the cost and revenue functions, where x r
QveST [7]

Answer:

No lower than $208, and no higher than $956.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the revenue (income) function is represented by a quadratic expression (a parabola with branches pointing down), and the cost function is linear with negative slope.

When we plot them, we obtain the graphs shown in the attached image. Notice as well that there are two points of intersection for these two functions. The revenue exceeds (lays above) the cost in between the two points of intersection (marked in red and green).

For the company to make a profit, the revenue has to be larger than the cost, so we study the limiting values for that to happen, which is the points of intersection of these two curves.

The first one (pictured in red) is associated with coordinates (35, 33488) which tells us that is the production of 35 chairs with a revenue of $33,488. That is a cost per chair of $33,488 / 35 = $956.8

The second intersection (pictured in green) is associated with coordinates (125, 26000), which tells us that is the production of 125 chairs with a revenue of $26,000. That is a cost per chair of $26000 / 125 = $ 208

So these values give us the minimum and maximum that the company can charge to make a profit.

Strike441 [17]
Before we could add these numbers, 3/8 and 7/10 need a common denominator. Both 8 and 10 go into 40.

8 goes into 40 five times
3/8= (3*5)/40 = 15/40

10 goes into 40 four times
7/10= (7*4)/40= 28/40

ANSWER: A) 15/40 and 28/40

Hope this helps! :)
