A. imagine that you are one of the people who left the luncheon with a contagious disease and interacted with an average of 9 di

fferent people each day. how many people could potentially be infected in 7 days?
b. imagine the other remaining persons who received the contagious disease at the end of the luncheon interacted with an average of 6 different people per day. how many people could potentially be infected in 7 days by these others who left the luncheon?​

1.       In line with the test each person who came into interaction with the infected person will become infected also. With this information, the calculation would be: 9 people each day for 7days would be equivalent to 9 x 7 which equals 63 people.

2.       Here were 7 other people in the experiment if patient zero is left out. If each person intermingled with 6 different people every day in 7 days then the calculation would be: 7 people infected x 6 new people = 42 infected people each day

42 new people every day x 7 days = 294 infected persons.

Find the product: (30 gallons 3 quarts 1 pint) × 5
SpyIntel [72]
30 gallons * 5 = 150 gallons

3 quarts * 5 = 15 quarts 

1 pint * 5 = 5 pints

Four quarts in a gallon: 15/4 = 3 gallons, 2 quarts

2 pints in a quart: 5/2 = 2 quarts, 1 pint

2 quarts + 2 quarts = 1 gallon

150 + 3 + 1 gallons + 1 pint = 153 gallons, 1 pint.

The number of flaws in a fiber optic cable follows a Poisson distribution. It is known that the mean number of flaws in 50m of c
boyakko [2]

Answer:

(a) The probability of exactly three flaws in 150 m of cable is 0.21246

(b) The probability of at least two flaws in 100m of cable is 0.69155

(c) The probability of exactly one flaw in the first 50 m of cable, and exactly one flaw in the second 50 m of cable is 0.13063

Step-by-step explanation:

A random variable X has a Poisson distribution and it is referred to as Poisson random variable if and only if its probability distribution is given by

p(x;\lambda)=\frac{\lambda e^{-\lambda}}{x!} for x = 0, 1, 2, ...

where \lambda, the mean number of successes.

(a) To find the probability of exactly three flaws in 150 m of cable, we first need to find the mean number of flaws in 150 m, we know that the mean number of flaws in 50 m of cable is 1.2, so the mean number of flaws in 150 m of cable is 1.2 \cdot 3 =3.6

The probability of exactly three flaws in 150 m of cable is

P(X=3)=p(3;3.6)=\frac{3.6^3e^{-3.6}}{3!} \approx 0.21246

(b) The probability of at least two flaws in 100m of cable is,

we know that the mean number of flaws in 50 m of cable is 1.2, so the mean number of flaws in 100 m of cable is 1.2 \cdot 2 =2.4

P(X\geq 2)=1-P(X

P(X\geq 2)=1-p(0;2.4)-p(1;2.4)\\\\P(X\geq 2)=1-\frac{2.4^0e^{-2.4}}{0!}-\frac{2.4^1e^{-2.4}}{1!}\\\\P(X\geq 2)\approx 0.69155

(c) The probability of exactly one flaw in the first 50 m of cable, and exactly one flaw in the second 50 m of cable is

P(X=1)=p(1;1.2)=\frac{1.2^1e^{-1.2}}{1!}\\P(X=1)\approx 0.36143

The occurrence of flaws in the first and second 50 m of cable are independent events. Therefore the probability of exactly one flaw in the first 50 m and exactly one flaw in the second 50 m is

(0.36143)(0.36143) = 0.13063

In a film, an actor played an elderly uncle character is criticized for marrying a woman when he is 3 times her age. He wittily
yanalaym [24]

Answer:the uncle is 54 years old.

The woman is 18 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the age of the uncle.

Let y represent the age of the woman that he married.

In the film, an actor played an elderly uncle character is criticized for marrying a woman when he is 3 times her age. This means that

x = 3y

He wittily replies, "Ah, but in 18 years time I shall only be twice her age. It means that

x + 18 = 2(y + 18)

x + 18 = 2y + 36 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 3y into equation 1, it becomes

3y + 18 = 2y + 36

3y - 2y = 36 - 18

y = 18

x = 3y = 3 × 18

x = 54

in a certain class, 22 pupils take one or more of chemistry, economic, government. 12 take economic (E), 8 take government (G) a
mash [69]

Answer:

ai) n(E⋂C) = ∅ = null

n(E⋂G) = 4

aii) see attachment

bi) n(C⋂G) = x = 1

bii) n(G) only = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let chemistry = C

Economic = E

Government = G

n(E) = 12

n(G) = 8

n(C) = 7

ai) number of pupils for economics and chemistry = 0

number of pupils for economics and government = 4

The set notation for both:

n(E⋂C) = ∅ = null

n(E⋂G) = 4

aii) find attached the Venn diagram

bi) n(C⋂G) = ?

Let number of n(C⋂G) = x

From the Venn diagram

n(C) only = 12-4 = 8

n(G) only = 8-(4+x) = 4-x

n(E) only = 7-x

n(E⋂C⋂G) = 0

n(E⋂C) = 0

n(E⋂G) = 4

Total: 8+ 4-x + 7-x + x + 0+0+4 = 22

23 -x = 22

23-22 = x

x = 1

n(C⋂G) = x = 1

Number of pupils that take both chemistry and government = 1

(bii) government only = n(G) only = 4-x

n(G) only = 4-1 = 3

Number of students that take government only = 3

Ella purchased a game that was on sale for 12% off. The sales tax in her county is 6%. Let y represent the original price of the
klio [65]

Answer:

The expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the game is

1.06(0.88 y) ⇒ (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • If the price of an item is discounted, that mean its new price will be less its initial price
  • The taxes on item, makes its new price greater than the initial price because tax is add

Let us solve the problem

∵ Ella purchased a game that was on sale for 12% off

→ That means the new price will (100% - 12%) of the initial price

∵ y represented the initial price of the game

→ Multiply y by (100% - 12%) to get the new price

∴ The new price = y (100% - 12%)

∴ The new price = y (88%)

→ Change 88% to normal number by divide it by 100

∴ The new price = y (\frac{88}{100})

∴ The new price = 0.88 y

∵ The sales tax in her county is 6%

→ That means the final cost will be (100% + 6%) of 0.88 y

∴ The final cost = (100% + 6%) × (0.88 y)

∴ The final cost = 106% × (0.88 y)

→ Change 106% to normal number by divide it by 100

∴ The final cost = \frac{106}{100} × (0.88 y)

∴ The final cost = 1.06(0.88 y)

The expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the game is 1.06(0.88 y)
