Carly commutes to work, and her commute time is dependent on the weather. When the weather is good, the distribution of her comm

ute time is approximately normal with mean 20 minutes and standard deviation 2 minutes. When the weather is not good, the distribution of her commute times is approximately normal with mean 30 minutes and standard deviation 4 minutes. Suppose the probability that the weather will be good tomorrow is 0.9. What is the probability that Carly's commute time tomorrow will be greater than 25 minutes?

We are given with
x1 = 20 min
s1 = 2 min

x2 = 30 min
s2 = 4 min

p = 0.9
Condition (x > 25)

We need to get the t-value between the two means and comparing it wit the t-value for the time of 25 minutes given that there is a 90% probability that the weather will be good. Simply use the t-test formula and use the t-test table to get the probability.

Answer:

0.950

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 25 minute when the weather is good

This is writtesn as P( x > A), where A represents a numerical value or a condition.

Substituting the value of A, we get -

P( x > 25)

Here mean = 20 and standard deviation = 2

Now we will find the z value for give x value -

As we know -

z = (x - u) / sigma

Substituting the available values , we get -

A =  (25-20) / 2 =  2.5 \\\\

Now, probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 25 minute when the weather is good is equal to probability value as compared to the corresponding z values

Thus, probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 25 minute when the weather is good = 0.0062

b) Probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 25 minute when the weather is not good

z = (x - u) / sigma

Substituting the available values , we get -

A =  (25-30) / 4 =  -1.25 \\\\

Now, probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 30 minute when the weather is good is equal to probability value as compared to the corresponding z values

Thus, probability that the commute time of Carly is greater than 25 minute when the weather is good = 0.0062

P(x > 25) \\= P( z > (25-30) / 4) \\= P(z > -1.25) \\= 0.8944

Final Probability -

P( x > 25) \\= P( x > 25, weather good) + P( x > 25 , weather not good) \\= P( x > 25) \\= (0.0062)(0.9) + (0.8944)(0.10) \\= 0.0950

An automated egg carton loader has a 1% probability of cracking an egg, and a customer will complain if more than one egg per do
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

a) Binomial distribution B(n=12,p=0.01)

b) P=0.007

c) P=0.999924

d) P=0.366

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The distribution of cracked eggs per dozen should be a binomial distribution B(12,0.01), as it can model 12 independent events.

b) To calculate the probability of having a carton of dozen eggs with more than one cracked egg, we will first calculate the probabilities of having zero or one cracked egg.

P(k=0)=\binom{12}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{12}=1*0.886=0.886\\\\P(k=1)=\binom{12}{1}p^1(1-p)^{11}=12*0.01*0.99^{11}=12*0.01*0.895=0.107

Then,

P(k>1)=1-(P(k=0)+P(k=1))=1-(0.886+0.107)=1-0.993=0.007

c) In this case, the distribution is B(1200,0.01)

P(k=0)=\binom{1200}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{1200}=1* 0.000006 = 0.000006 \\\\ P(k=1)=\binom{1200}{1}p^1(1-p)^{1199}=1200*0.01*0.99^{1199}=1200*0.01* 0.000006 \\\\P(k=1)= 0.00007\\\\\\P(k\leq1)=0.000006+0.000070=0.000076\\\\\\P(k>1)=1-P(k\leq 1)=1-0.000076=0.999924

d) In this case, the distribution is B(100,0.01)

We can calculate this probability as the probability of having 0 cracked eggs in a batch of 100 eggs.

P(k=0)=\binom{100}{0}p^0(1-p)^{100}=0.99^{100}=0.366

crimeas [40]

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is an ordered list of numbers.

lim n → ∞ an = 8 means that as n approaches infinity (becomes large), an approaches 8.

lim n → ∞ an = ∞ means that as n approaches infinity (becomes large), an approaches infinity (becomes large).

The erea of a square is given by x2, where x is the length of one side. Mary's original garden was in the shape of a square. She
crimeas [40]

Answer: The expression that represents the area of Mary's new garden =2x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is given by x^2, where x is the length of one side. The length of the other side is also x. In a square, all sides are equal. each of the four sides equal x

Area = x × x

Area = x^2

She decided to double the area of her garden

New area = 2(x × x)

New area = 2x^2

The expression that represents the area of Mary's new garden =2x^2

A survey on healthy choices was given to gym members at Work It Out. The results
irina [24]

Answer:

The correct option is 4) 0.72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let us consider that there are 100 members.

(Note: you can take any number the answer will remain the same.)

90% of its members drank protein shakes and of the members who drank  protein shakes.

90% of 100 is 90.

Thus, 90 members drank protein shake.

Of the members who drank   protein shakes, 30% took weight-loss medication.

30% of 90 is 27.

That means 27 out of 90 took weight loss medication.

Out of 100 members 90 drank protein shakes that means 10 members does not take protein shakes.

Only 10% of members  who did not drink protein shakes took weight-loss medication.

10% of 10 is 1, that means 1 member out of 10 took weight loss medication.

Thus the required table is:

                                        Medication   Not Medication      Total

Drank shakes                       27                   63                      90

Doesn't Drank shakes          1                      9                        10

Total                                      28                   72                     100

Now we need to find the probability that a gym member does not take weight-loss medication.

72 out of 100 members does not take weight-loss medication.

Therefore, the required probability is: \frac{72}{100}=0.72

Hence, the correct option is 4) 0.72.
