Answer:

hence Robert runs at a faster speed

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/2 hours = 3/2 hours = 1.5 hours

45 min = 45/60 = 3/4 = 0.75 hours

Jacob's speed = 5 miles ÷ 1.5 hours = 3.33 miles/hr

Robert's speed = 3 miles ÷ 0.75 hours = 4 miles/hr

hence Robert runs at a faster speed

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

(a) Probability mass function

P(X=0) = 0.0602

P(X=1) = 0.0908

P(X=2) = 0.1704

P(X=3) = 0.2055

P(X=4) = 0.1285

P(X=5) = 0.1550

P(X=6) = 0.1427

P(X=7) = 0.0390

P(X=8) = 0.0147

NOTE: the sum of the probabilities gives 1.0068 for rounding errors. It can be divided by 1.0068 to get the adjusted values.

(b) Cumulative distribution function of X

F(X=0) = 0.0602

F(X=1) = 0.1510

F(X=2) = 0.3214

F(X=3) = 0.5269

F(X=4) = 0.6554

F(X=5) = 0.8104

F(X=6) = 0.9531

F(X=7) = 0.9921

F(X=8) = 1.0068

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the number of people who arrive late to the seminar, we can assess that X can take values from 0 (everybody on time) to 8 (everybody late).

For X=0

This happens when every couple and the singles are on time (ot).

$P(X=0)=P(\#1=ot)*P(\#2=ot)*P(\#3=ot)*P(\#4=ot)*P(\#5=ot)\\\\P(X=0)=(1-0.43)^{5}=0.57^5= 0.0602$

For X=1

This happens when only one single arrives late. It can be #4 or #5. As the probabilities are the same (P(#4=late)=P(#5=late)), we can multiply by 2 the former probability:

$P(X=1) = P(\#4=late)+P(\#5=late)=2*P(\#4=late)\\\\P(X=1) = 2*P(\#1=ot)*P(\#2=ot)*P(\#3=ot)*P(\#4=late)*P(\#5=ot)\\\\P(X=1) = 2*0.57*0.57*0.57*0.43*0.57\\\\P(X=1) = 2*0.57^4*0.43=2*0.0454=0.0908$

For X=2

This happens when

1) Only one of the three couples is late, and the others cooples and singles are on time.

2) When both singles are late , and the couples are on time.

$P(X=2)=3*(P(\#1=l)*P(\#2=ot)*P(\#3=ot)*P(\#4=ot)*P(\#5=ot))+P(\#1=ot)*P(\#2=ot)*P(\#3=ot)*P(\#4=l)*P(\#5=l)\\\\P(X=2)=3*(0.43*0.57^4)+(0.43^2*0.57^3)=0.1362+0.0342=0.1704$

For X=3

This happens when

1) Only one couple (3 posibilities) and one single are late (2 posibilities). This means there are 3*2=6 combinations of this.

$P(X=3)=6*(P(\#1=l)*P(\#2=ot)*P(\#3=ot)*P(\#4=l)*P(\#5=ot))\\\\P(X=3)=6*(0.43^2*0.57^3)=6*0.342=0.2055$

For X=4

This happens when

1) Only two couples are late. There are 3 combinations of these.

2) Only one couple and both singles are late. Only one combination of these situation.

$P(X=4)=3*(P(\#1=l)*P(\#2=l)*P(\#3=ot)*P(\#4=ot)*P(\#5=ot))+P(\#1=l)*P(\#2=ot)*P(\#3=ot)*P(\#4=l)*P(\#5=l)\\\\P(X=4)=3*(0.43^2*0.57^3)+(0.43^3*0.57^2)\\\\P(X=4)=3*0.0342+ 0.0258=0.1027+0.0258=0.1285$

For X=5

This happens when

1) Only two couples (3 combinations) and one single are late (2 combinations). There are 6 combinations.

$P(X=6)=6*(P(\#1=l)*P(\#2=l)*P(\#3=ot)*P(\#4=l)*P(\#5=ot))\\\\P(X=6)=6*(0.43^3*0.57^2)=6*0.0258=0.1550$

For X=6

This happens when

1) Only the three couples are late (1 combination)

2) Only two couples (3 combinations) and one single (2 combinations) are late

$P(X=6)=P(\#1=l)*P(\#2=l)*P(\#3=l)*P(\#4=ot)*P(\#5=ot)+6*(P(\#1=l)*P(\#2=l)*P(\#3=ot)*P(\#4=l)*P(\#5=ot))\\\\P(X=6)=(0.43^3*0.57^2)+6*(0.43^4*0.57)\\\\P(X=6)=0.0258+6*0.0195=0.0258+0.1169=0.1427$

For X=7

This happens when

1) Only one of the singles is on time (2 combinations)

$P(X=7)=2*P(\#1=l)*P(\#2=l)*P(\#3=l)*P(\#4=l)*P(\#5=ot)\\\\P(X=7)=2*0.43^4*0.57=0.0390$

For X=8

This happens when everybody is late

$P(X=8)=P(\#1=l)*P(\#2=l)*P(\#3=l)*P(\#4=l)*P(\#5=l)\\\\P(X=8) = 0.43^5=0.0147$

Susie has $95 to spend on renting snorkeling gear at the beach. There is a $15 flat service fee to rent the snorkeling gear alon

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can actually solve this problem simply as if it were an equation instead of an inequality. We have:

15 + 8h ≤ 95

Subtract 15 from both sides:

8h ≤ 95 - 15

8h ≤ 80

Divide by 8 from both sides:

h ≤ 80/8

h ≤ 10

So, the number of hours cannot exceed 10, which means the maximum number of hours Susie can rent is 10 hours.

Agata [3.3K]

No, Leo's answer is not a product of prime polynomials because x2 – 1 can be factored. This is a difference of squares. He should continue factoring to get

(x – 1)(x + 1)(3x + 5).

Answer:

sensitivity analysis

Step-by-step explanation:

The ability to examine the variability of a solution due to changes in the formulation of a problem is an important part of the analysis of the results. This type of analysis is called Sensitivity analysis.

It helps us figure out the robustness of a system or model in the presence of an uncertainty

It also increases the relationship between the inputs and outputs from the system or model
