geniusboy [140]

Answer:

BC:BN=8:3

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD is a trapezoid and there is a point m which belongs to AD such that AM:MD=3:5.Line "l" parallel to AB intersects the diagonal AC at p and BD at N.

Now, we know that the parallel lines divide the transversal into the segments with equal ratio, therefore, BN:NC=AM:MD

But, BC= BN+NC

Therefore, BC:BN=(BN+NC):BN

⇒BC:BN=(3+5):3

⇒BC:BN=8:3

A construction company is considering submitting bids for contracts of three different projects. The company estimates that it h

julsineya [31]

Answer:

a. $P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}\\$

b. $E(x) = 0.3$

c. $S(x)=0.5196$

d. $E=5,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the company won x bids follows a binomial distribution because we have n identical and independent experiments with a probability p of success and (1-p) of fail.

So, the PMF of X is equal to:

$P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}\\$

Where p is 0.1 and it is the chance of winning. Additionally, n is 3 and it is the number of bids. So the PMF of X is:

$P(x)=\frac{3!}{x!(3-x)!}*0.1^{x}*(1-0.1)^{n-x}\\$

For binomial distribution:

$E(x)=np\\S(x)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Therefore, the company can expect to win 0.3 bids and it is calculated as:

$E(x) = np = 3*0.1 = 0.3$

Additionally, the standard deviation of the number of bids won is:

$S(x)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{3(0.1)(1-0.1)}=0.5196$

Finally, the probability to won 1, 2 or 3 bids is equal to:

$P(1)=\frac{3!}{1!(3-1)!}*0.1^{1}*(1-0.1)^{3-1}=0.243\\P(2)=\frac{3!}{2!(3-2)!}*0.1^{2}*(1-0.1)^{3-2}=0.027\\P(3)=\frac{3!}{3!(3-3)!}*0.1^{3}*(1-0.1)^{3-3}=0.001$

So, the expected profit for the company is equal to:

$E=-10,000+50,000(0.243)+100,000(0.027)+150,000(0.001)\\E=5,000$

Because there is a probability of 0.243 to win one bid and it will produce 50,000 of income, there is a probability of 0.027 to win 2 bids and it will produce 100,000 of income and there is a probability of 0.001 to win 3 bids and it will produce 150,000 of income.

Meeting at least one person with the flu in thirteen random encounters on campus when the infection rate is 2% (2 in 100 people

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

23.1% probability of meeting at least one person with the flu

Step-by-step explanation:

For each encounter, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the person has the flu, or the person does not. The probability of a person having the flu is independent of any other person. 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.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Infection rate of 2%

This means that $p = 0.02$

Thirteen random encounters

This means that $n = 13$

Probability of meeting at least one person with the flu

Either you meet none, or you meet at least one. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 1)$ . Then

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{13,0}.(0.02)^{0}.(0.98)^{13} = 0.7690$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.769 = 0.231$

23.1% probability of meeting at least one person with the flu
