To compute for the probability value of P-value, we need to see first as to how is 3 years from the given mean value. So, for this case we have (3 - 4) = 1 below the standard deviation of 0.8. Thus, the z -score for this would me z < -1/0.8 = -1.25. Given a z-score of z < -1.25. Using the table chart for the P-values, we have P(z < -1.25) = 0.1056. Meaning there is a 10.56% chance that a CD will last for less than 3 years. Thus, probability is 10.56%<span>.</span>

Select all of the following true statements if R = real numbers, Z = integers, and W = {0, 1, 2, ...}.
PSYCHO15rus [73]
We can start solving this problem by first identifying what the elements of the sets really are.

R is composed of real numbers. This means that all numbers, whether rational or not, are included in this set.

Z is composed of integers. Integers include all negative and positive numbers as well as zero (it is essentially a set of whole numbers as well as their negated values).

W on the other hand has 0,1,2, and onward as its elements. These numbers are known as whole numbers.

W ⊂ Z: TRUE. As mentioned earlier, Z includes all whole numbers thus W is a subset of it.

R ⊂ W: FALSE. Not all real numbers are whole numbers. Whole numbers must be rational and expressed without fractions. Some real numbers do not meet this criteria.

0 ∈ Z: TRUE. Zero is indeed an integer thus it is an element of Z.

∅ ⊂ R: TRUE. A null set is a subset of R, and in fact every set in general. There are no elements in a null set thus making it automatically a subset of any non-empty set by definition (since NONE of its elements are <u>not</u> an element of R).

{0,1,2,...} ⊆ W: TRUE. The set on the left is exactly what is defined on the problem statement for W. (The bar below the subset symbol just means that the subset is not strict, therefore the set on the left can be <u>equal</u> to the set on the right. Without it, the statement would be false since a strict subset requires that the two sets should not be equal).

-2 ∈ W: FALSE. W is just composed of whole numbers and not of its negated counterparts.

For a specific location in a particularly rainy city, the time a new thunderstorm begins to produce rain (first drop time) is un
ikadub [295]

Answer:

b) 0.0608

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is mentioned that the next two days i.e 24 hours, the probability of the rain is uniformly distributed

Therefore the rain probability is

= \frac{T}{24}

where,

T = Length of the time interval

Plus, as we know that rain is independent

So let us assume the rain between the 8: 40 AM and 2: 35 PM on single day is P1 and the time interval is 5 hours 55 minutes

i.e

= 5.91666 hours long.

So, P1 should be

= \frac{5.91666}{24}

= 0.2465

Now we assume the probability of rain on day 2 is P2

So it would be same  i.e 0.2465

Since these events are independent

So, the total probability is

= 0.2465 \times 0.2465

= 0.0608

Hence, the b option is correct

sweet [91]

We use the z statistic:

z = (x – u) / s

 

But first let us calculate the standard deviation s, sample x and mean u.

s = sqrt (n p q)

s = sqrt (112 * 0.77 * (1 – 0.77))

s = 4.45

 

x = 0.81 * 112 = 90.72

 

u = 0.77 * 112 = 86.24

 

So the z score is:

z = (90.72 – 86.24) / 4.45

z = 1.00

 

From the standard tables, the P value at z = 1.00 using right tailed test is:

<span>P = 0.1587 = 15.87%</span>
