A and B will take the same 10-question examination. Each question will be answered correctly by A with probability .7, independe

ntly of her results on other questions. Each question will be answered correctly by B with probability .4, independently both of her results on the other questions and on the performance of A. (a) Find the expected number of questions that are answered correctly by both A and B. (b) Find the variance of the number of questions that are answered correctly by either A or B.

Answer:

a) The expected number of questions that are answered correctly by both A and B = 11 (7 + 4).

b) The Variance of the number of questions that are answered correctly by either A or B = 2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of questions in the examination = 10

Probability of A's answer being correct = 0.7

Probability of B's answer being correct = 0.4

The expected number of questions that are answered correctly by both A and B:

Probability of Expected

Correct Answer Value Variance

A 0.7 7 (0.7 * 10) 2.25

B 0.4 4 (0.4 * 10) 2.25

Total expected value = 11

Mean = 5.5 2.25

Find a right triangle that has legs with your irrational Lengths and a hypotenuse with a rational Length

cluponka [151]

gg easy

the legs of a triangle are related as $a^2+b^2=c^2$ wehre a, b, and c are the legs and the hypotonuse of a triangle respectively

let's find some stuff

one easy way is to find a rational value for c find values of a and b

lets pick c=5

$a^2+b^2=5^2$

$a^2+b^2=25$

now split up 25 into 2 things that don't have rational square roots

if we say $a^2=19$ and $b^2=6$ then we get

$a=\sqrt{19}$ and $b=\sqrt{6}$ (which are both irrational)

The area of a rectangular banquet call is 7400 ft.². The length of one side of the hall is 82 feet. Explain how you can use comp

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Compatible width of rectangular banquet hall could be 90 feet approximately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area of a rectangular banquet hall = 7400 square feet

Length of rectangular banquet hall = 82 feet

We need to calculate width of the rectangular banquet hall.

Now Area of rectangle is equal to length times width.

Framing in equation form we get;

$Area\ of \ Rectangle= length \times width$

Substituting the given values we get;

$82 \times width = 7400\\\\width = \frac{7400}{82} = 90.2439$

Now by definition of Compatible numbers which state that:

"Compatible numbers are the numbers that are easy to add, subtract, multiply, or divide mentally. Compatible numbers are close in value to the actual numbers that make estimating the answer and computing problems easier."

Now By Using width as 90 feet and length as 82 feet we get area as 7380 sq ft. which is closet to actual area which is 7400 sq ft.

Hence we can say compatible width could be 90 feet approximately.

Colin invests £2350 into a savings account. The bank gives 4.2% compound interest for the first 4 years and 4.9% thereafter. How

mixer [17]

To solve this, we are going to use the compound interest formula: $A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$
where
$A$ is the final amount after $t$ years
$P$ is the initial investment
$r$ is the interest rate in decimal form
$n$ is the number of times the interest is compounded per year

For the first 4 years we know that: $P=2350$ , $r= \frac{4.2}{100} =0.042$ , $t=4$ , and since the problem is not specifying how often the interest is communed, we are going to assume it is compounded annually; therefore, $n=1$ . Lest replace those values in our formula:
$A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$
$A=2350(1+ \frac{0.042}{1} )^{(1)(4)}$
$A=2350(1+0.042)^{4}$
$A=2770.38$

Now, for the next 6 years the intial investment will be the final amount from our previous step, so $P=2770.38$ . We also know that: $r= \frac{4.9}{100} =0.049$ , $t=6$ , and $n=1$ . Lets replace those values in our formula one more time:
$A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}$
$A=2770.38(1+ \frac{0.049}{1})^{(1)(6)$
$A=2770.38(1+0.049)^6$
$A=3691.41$

We can conclude that Collin will have <span>£3691.41 in his account after 10 years.</span>
