Answer:

10.74s or faster (lower)

Step-by-step explanation:

The lowest time out of all of them is 10.75, so to all the 5th swimmer needs to do to win is to undercut the swimmer who got 10.75s by a 100th of a second. i.e 10.74s or faster (lower) would win.

Answer:

a.P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}\\

b. E(x) = 0.3

c. S(x)=0.5196

d. E=5,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the company won x bids follows a binomial distribution because we have n identical and independent experiments with a probability p of success and (1-p) of fail.

So, the PMF of X is equal to:

P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}\\

Where p is 0.1 and it is the chance of winning. Additionally, n is 3 and it is the number of bids. So the PMF of X is:

P(x)=\frac{3!}{x!(3-x)!}*0.1^{x}*(1-0.1)^{n-x}\\

For binomial distribution:

E(x)=np\\S(x)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}

Therefore, the company can expect to win 0.3 bids and it is calculated as:

E(x) = np = 3*0.1 = 0.3

Additionally, the standard deviation of the number of bids won is:

S(x)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{3(0.1)(1-0.1)}=0.5196

Finally, the probability to won 1, 2 or 3 bids is equal to:

P(1)=\frac{3!}{1!(3-1)!}*0.1^{1}*(1-0.1)^{3-1}=0.243\\P(2)=\frac{3!}{2!(3-2)!}*0.1^{2}*(1-0.1)^{3-2}=0.027\\P(3)=\frac{3!}{3!(3-3)!}*0.1^{3}*(1-0.1)^{3-3}=0.001

So, the expected profit for the company is equal to:

E=-10,000+50,000(0.243)+100,000(0.027)+150,000(0.001)\\E=5,000

Because there is a probability of 0.243 to win one bid and it will produce 50,000 of income, there is a probability of 0.027 to win 2 bids and it will produce 100,000 of income and there is a probability of 0.001 to win 3 bids and it will produce 150,000 of income.

Part 1:

The table showing the decreasing debt is shown as follows:

\begin{tabular}
{|c|c|c|c|}
Starting Balance&Interest Accrued&Payment&Closing Balance\\[1ex]
\$1,853.42&\$22.39&\$400&\$1,475.81\\\$1,475.81&\$17.83&\$400&\$1,093.64\\\$1,093.64&\$13.21&\$200&\$906.85\\\$906.85&\$10.96&\$200&\$717.81\\\$717.81&\$8.67&\$200&\$526.48\\\$526.48&\$6.36&\$200&\$332.84\\\$332.84&\$4.02&\$200&\$136.86\\\$136.86&\$1.65&\$138.51&-
\end{tabular}

The column for interest accrued is obtained by the folmular

I=P(1+0.155)^{\frac{1}{12}}

where P is the month's starting balance.



Part 2:

From the table, the last payment is $138.51



Part 3:

The total amount paid by the time the credit card is payed of is the summation of the "payment" column of the table.

Thus, the total amount is given by:

Payment\ total=2(400)+5(200)+138.51=\$1,938.51



Part 4:

The debt ratio is given by

Debt\ ratio= \frac{debt}{limit} = \frac{1,853.42}{3,000} \approx0.62
