Answer:

The cost of the gas is £67.81 p

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

Initial gas reading = 8247

Final gas reading = 8631

Therefore the total consumed gas is given by

Final gas reading - Initial gas reading  → 8631 - 8247 = 384

Since the cost of gas is 11p per unit we have, the total cost of the gas consumed is given by

Cost of consumed gas = Units of gas consumed × Unit cost of gas

= 384 × 11p = 4224 p

100 p ≡ £ 1

Therefore 4224 p  = £42.24 p

The total cost of the gs is obtained by adding the fixed charge to the cost of gas consmed as follows

£25.57 + £42.24 = £67.81 p

The cost of the gas = £67.81 p

Clarissa's income puts her in the bottom tax bracket (10%) last year. During the same year, she earned $250 in dividends and $75
Art [367]

Answer:

75 in coupons.

250 in dividends.

profit of 600 - 425 = 175 from her stock investment.  

her total income is 250 + 75 + 175 = 500.  

if all of this is taxed at 10%, then her tax will be 500 * .1 = 50.

The caller times at a customer service center has an exponential distribution with an average of 22 seconds. Find the probabilit
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is 0.7443.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the caller times at a customer service center has an exponential distribution with an average of 22 seconds.

Let X = caller times at a customer service center

The probability distribution (pdf) of the exponential distribution is given by;

f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x} ; x > 0

Here, \lambda = exponential parameter

Now, the mean of the exponential distribution is given by;

Mean =  \frac{1}{\lambda}  

So,  22=\frac{1}{\lambda}  ⇒ \lambda=\frac{1}{22}

SO, X ~ Exp(\lambda=\frac{1}{22})  

To find the given probability we will use cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the exponential distribution, i.e;

    P(X\leq x) = 1 - e^{-\lambda x}  ; x > 0

Now, the probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is given by = P(X < 30 seconds)

        P(X < 30)  =  1 - e^{-\frac{1}{22} \times 30}

                         =  1 - 0.2557

                         =  0.7443

There are 200 students in eleventh grade high school class. There are 40 students in the soccer team and 50 students in the bask
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

P(A) = 0.2

P(B) = 0.25

P(A&B) = 0.05

P(A|B) = 0.2

P(A|B) = P(A) = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A) is the probability that the selected student plays soccer.

Then:

P(A)=\dfrac{40}{200}=0.2

P(B) is the probability that the selected student plays basketball.

Then:

P(B)=\dfrac{50}{200}=0.25

P(A and B) is the probability that the selected student plays soccer and basketball:

P(A\&B)=\dfrac{10}{200}=0.05

P(A|B) is the probability that the student plays soccer given that he plays basketball. In this case, as it is given that he plays basketball only 10 out of 50 plays soccer:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\&B)}{P(B)}=\dfrac{10}{50}=0.2

P(A | B) is equal to P(A), because the proportion of students that play soccer is equal between the total group of students and within the group that plays basketball. We could assume that the probability of a student playing soccer is independent of the event that he plays basketball.
