Make the following conversion. 420 hg = _____ cg 4200000 420000 0.0420 0.00420

Otrada [13]

Using the standards of conversions, we will find that 1 hg is equivalent to 10000 cg.
Therefore, to convert 420 hg to cg, all you have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
420 hg = (420 x 10000) / 1 = 4200000 cg

The correct choice is: 4200000

A particular telephone number is used to receive both voice calls and fax messages. Suppose that 25% of the incoming calls invol

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

a) 0.214 = 21.4% probability that at most 4 of the calls involve a fax message

b) 0.118 = 11.8% probability that exactly 4 of the calls involve a fax message

c) 0.904 = 90.4% probability that at least 4 of the calls involve a fax message

d) 0.786 = 78.6% probability that more than 4 of the calls involve a fax message

Step-by-step explanation:

For each call, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it involves a fax message, or it does not. The probability of a call involving a fax message is independent of other calls. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

25% of the incoming calls involve fax messages

This means that $p = 0.25$

25 incoming calls.

This means that $n = 25$

a. What is the probability that at most 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$ .

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{25,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{25} = 0.001$

$P(X = 1) = C_{25,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{24} = 0.006$

$P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{23} = 0.025$

$P(X = 3) = C_{25,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{22} = 0.064$

$P(X = 4) = C_{25,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{21} = 0.118$

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.001 + 0.006 + 0.025 + 0.064 + 0.118 = 0.214$

0.214 = 21.4% probability that at most 4 of the calls involve a fax message

b. What is the probability that exactly 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

$P(X = 4) = C_{25,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{21} = 0.118$

0.118 = 11.8% probability that exactly 4 of the calls involve a fax message.

c. What is the probability that at least 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

Either less than 4 calls involve fax messages, or at least 4 do. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. So

$P(X < 4) + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 4)$ . Then

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4)$

In which

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{25,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{25} = 0.001$

$P(X = 1) = C_{25,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{24} = 0.006$

$P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{23} = 0.025$

$P(X = 3) = C_{25,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{22} = 0.064$

$P(X$

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4) = 1 - 0.096 = 0.904$

0.904 = 90.4% probability that at least 4 of the calls involve a fax message.

d. What is the probability that more than 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

Very similar to c.

$P(X \leq 4) + P(X > 4) = 1$

From a), $P(X \leq 4) = 0.214)$

Then

$P(X > 4) = 1 - 0.214 = 0.786$

0.786 = 78.6% probability that more than 4 of the calls involve a fax message
