, etc.), the criminals are never found and the case is never solved†. Suppose a neighborhood district in a large city suffers repeated property crimes, not always perpetrated by the same criminals. The police are investigating five property crime cases in this district. (a) What is the probability that none of the crimes will ever be solved? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)'

Answer:

(a) Each crime has 20% chance of being solved according to the question.

You use Binomial Theorem:

P(x) = nCx*p^x*(1-p)^n-x

where p is probability of solving crime, n is number of crimes, and x is theoretical number of crimes solved

p = 0.2

n = 3

x = 0

P(0) = (0.8)^3 =0.512

Answer = 0.512

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

There will be 16 people who are both writer and editor

Explanation:

We have given there are total of 100 people

So total = 100

There are 45 writers so,Writers = 45;

It is given that there are more than 38 editors so ,Editors > 38

Both = x;

Neither = 2x

We know that

Total = Writers + Editors - Both + Neither  

100 = 45 + Editors - x + 2x

x = 55 - Editors

We want to maximize x, thus we should minimize Editors minimum possible value of Editors is 39, thus:

x = Both = 55 - 39 = 16.
