A customer visiting the suit department of a certain store will purchase a suit with probability .22, a shirt with probability .

BigorU [14]

Answer:

a) The probability that he doesnt but any items is 0.49

b) He buys exactly 1 of those items with probability 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

lets call su the event that the customer purchases a suit, sh the event that teh customer purchases a shirt and t the event that the customer purchases a tie.

Remembe that for events A, B and C we have that

P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

P(A U B U C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A ∩ B) - P(A ∩ C) - P(B ∩ C) + P(A ∩ B ∩ C)

Also, we are given that

P(su) = 0.22

P(sh) = 0.3

p(t) = 0.28

p(su ∩ sh) = 0.11

P(su ∩ t) = 0.14

P(sh ∩ t) = 0.1

P(sh ∩ t ∩ su) = 0.06

The event that he doesnt buy any item has as complementary event su ∪ sh ∪ t, therefore

P( he doesnt but any items) = 1-P(su U sh U t) =

1-( P(su) + p(sh) + p(t) - P(su ∩ sh) - p(su∩t) - p(sh∩t) + p(su∩sh∩t) ) =

1-(0.22+0.30+0.28-0.11-0.14-0.1+0.06) = 1-0.51 = 0.49

b) The probability that he buys at least 2 items is equal to

p(su ∩ t) + p(su ∩ sh) + p(sh ∩ t) -2 p(su ∩ t ∩ sh) (because we are counting the triple intersection 3 times, so we need to remove it twice)

This number is

0.14+0.11+0.1-2*0.06 = 0.23

Thus, the probability that he buys exactly one item can be computed by substracting from one the probability of the complementary event : she buys 2 or more or non items

P(he buys exactly one item) = 1- ( p(he buys none items) + p(he buys at least 2) ) = 1- 0.49-0.23 = 0.28

According to the Rational Root Theorem, the following are potential fox) 2x2 +2x 24.roots of -4, -3, 2, 3, 4Which are actual roo

aksik [14]

Correct Answer: First Option

Explanation:

There are two ways to find the actual roots:

a) Either solve the given quadratic equation to find the actual roots

b) Or substitute the value of Possible Rational Roots one by one to find out which satisfies the given equation.

Method a is more convenient and less time consuming, so I'll be solving the given equation by factorization to find its actual roots. To find the actual roots set the given equation equal to zero and solve for x as given below:

$2x^{2} +2x-24=0\\ \\ 2(x^{2} +x-12)=0\\ \\ x^{2} +x-12=0\\ \\ x^{2} +4x-3x-12=0\\ \\ x(x+4)-3(x+4)=0\\ \\ (x-3)(x+4)=0\\ \\ x-3=0, x=3\\ \\ or\\\\x+4=0, x=-4$
