Answer:

0.00673

Step-by-step explanation:

As each of the 10000 leaflets has equal chance on landing into 1 of the 2000 blocks, this means each leaflet has a probability of 1/2000 to land on the 1st block, 1/2000 to land on the 2nd lock, 1/2000 to land on the 3rd block, and so on.

The probability that a particular block will receive no leaflet is chance of each leaflets to land on the other 1999 blocks, which has a chance of 1999/2000. For all 10000 leaflets to happen like this independently, then the total probability is

\left(\frac{1999}{2000}\right)^{10000} = 0.00673

There are four activities on the critical path, and they have standard deviations of 1, 2, 4, and 2. what is the probability tha
Anit [1.1K]

Standard deviations of the four activities of the critical path are 1,2,4,2.

Standard deviation of this critical path = Sum of square root of variance of this corresponding critical path

Standard deviation of critical path =\sqrt{1^2+2^2+4^2+2^2}

=\sqrt{1+4+16+4}

=\sqrt{25}

=5

Now we need to find the probability that the project will completed in 38 weeks given that its expected completion time is 40 weeks.

That is, we need to find P(X<38) :

z=\frac{38-40}{5}= \frac{-2}{5}=-0.4

P(X

Probability =0.5-0.16=0.34

Thus the probability that the project will be completed in 38 weeks is 0.34.

Volgvan

Answer: We reject the null hypothesis, and we use Normal distribution for the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

We claim that

Null hypothesis : H_0:\mu\geq 50000

Alternate hypothesis : H_1:\mu

There  is 5% level of significance.

\bar{X}=46800\\\\\sigma=9800\\\\n=29

So, the test statistic would be

z=\dfrac{\bar{X}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}\\\\z=\dfrac{46800-50000}{\dfrac{9800}{\sqrt{29}}}\\\\z=-1.75

Since alternate hypothesis is left tailed test.

So, p-value = P(z≤-2.31)=0.0401

And the P-value =0.0401 is less than the given level of significance i.e. 5% 0.05.

So, we reject the null hypothesis, and we use Normal distribution for the test.

Which statements about the figure are true? Select two options.
harina [27]

<u>Complete Question</u>

The circle is inscribed in triangle PRT. A circle is inscribed in triangle P R T. Points Q, S, and U of the circle are on the sides of the triangle. Point Q is on side P R, point S is on side R T, and point U is on side P T. The length of R S is 5, the length of P U is 8, and the length of U T is 6. Which statements about the figure are true?

Answer:

(B)TU ≅ TS

(D)The length of line segment PR is 13 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the question is drawn for more understanding,

The theorem applied to this problem is that of tangents. All tangents drawn to a circle from the same point are equal.

Therefore:

|PQ|=|PU|=8 Units

|ST|=|UT| =6 Units

|RS|=|RQ|=5 Units

(b)From the above, TU ≅ TS

(d)Line Segment |PR|=|PQ|+|QR|=8+5=`13 Units
