Alaskan Salmon are fished extensively to serve in restaurants. However, there are limits to how many and the size of fish which

are allowed to be kept. Generally, fishermen are not allowed to keep smaller, younger fish. If salmon size is normally distributed and the average salmon taken from Alaskan waters is 12.5 inches with a standard deviation of 3.3, what length of salmon would represent the bottom 25% of all salmon?

Answer:

The salmon size is less than equal to 10.28 inches represent bottom 25% of all salmon.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 12.5 inches

Standard Deviation, σ = 3.3

We are given that the distribution of salmon size is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.25

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 12.5}{3.3})=0.25  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

\displaystyle\frac{x - 12.5}{3.3} = -0.674\\\\x = 10.2758\approx 10.28  

Thus, the salmon size is equal to or less than 10.28 inches, they are considered small and young and represent bottom 25% of all salmon.

3 + 5.2x= 1 - 2.8x how do I solve this?
MrRa [10]
3+5.2x=1-2.8x

1. 3+5.2x+2.8x=1

2. 5.2x+2.8x=1-3

5.2x+2.8x=1-3

1. 8x=1-3

2. 8x=-2

8x=-2

1. =-(1/4)

Alternative form:

2. x=-0.25

Company A charges $331.35 per week for a compact car with unlimited miles. Company B charges $175 per week plus $0.53 per mile,
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Company A is a better deal than Company B for the number of miles greater than 295 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y ----> the charge per week in dollars

x ----> the number of miles

we have

<em>Company A</em>

y=331.35 -----> equation A

<em>Company B</em>

y=0.53x+175 -----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Equate equation A and equation B and solve for x

331.35=0.53x+175

0.53x=331.35-175\\0.53x=156.35\\x=295\ mi

For x=295 miles the charge in Company A and Company B is the same

therefore

Company A is a better deal than Company B for the number of miles greater than 295 miles

A player of a video game is confronted with a series of four opponents and an 80% probability of defeating each opponent. Assume
mixer [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.4096

(b) 0.64

(c) 0.7942

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the player wins is,

P(W)=0.80

Then the probability that the player losses is,

P(L)=1-P(W)=1-0.80=0.20

The player is playing the video game with 4 different opponents.

It is provided that when the player is defeated by an opponent the game ends.

All the possible ways the player can win is: {L, WL, WWL, WWWL and WWWW)

(a)

The results from all the 4 opponents are independent, i.e. the result of a game played with one opponent is unaffected by the result of the game played with another opponent.

The probability that the player defeats all four opponents in a game is,

P (Player defeats all 4 opponents) = P(W)\times P(W)\times P(W)\times P(W)=[P(W)]^{4} =(0.80)^{4}=0.4096

Thus, the probability that the player defeats all four opponents in a game is 0.4096.

(b)

The probability that the player defeats at least two opponents in a game is,

P (Player defeats at least 2) = 1 - P (Player losses the 1st game) - P (Player losses the 2nd game) = 1-P(L)-P(WL)

                                    =1-(0.20)-(0.80\times0.20)\\=1-0.20-0.16\\=0.64

Thus, the probability that the player defeats at least two opponents in a game is 0.64.

(c)

Let <em>X</em> = number of times the player defeats all 4 opponents.

The probability that the player defeats all four opponents in a game is,

P(WWWW) = 0.4096.

Then the random variable X\sim Bin(n=3, p=0.4096)

The probability distribution of binomial is:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x} (1-p)^{n-x}

The probability that the player defeats all the 4 opponents at least once is,

P (<em>X</em> ≥ 1) = 1 - P (<em>X</em> < 1)

             = 1 - P (<em>X</em> = 0)

             =1-[{3\choose 0}(0.4096)^{0} (1-0.4096)^{3-0}]\\=1-[1\times1\times (0.5904)^{3}\\=1-0.2058\\=0.7942

Thus, the probability that the player defeats all the 4 opponents at least once is 0.7942.

What is the nth term of this sequence 7, 9, 11, 13
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The nth term of the sequence is

<h2>5 + 2n</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence above is an arithmetic sequence

For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence

A(n) = a + ( n - 1)d

where a is the first term

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

From the question

a = 7

d = 9 - 7 = 2 or 11 - 9 = 2

So the nth term for the sequence is

A(n) = 7 + ( n - 1)2

= 7 + 2n - 2

<h3>A(n) = 5 + 2n</h3>

Hope this helps you
