A customer visiting the suit department of a certain store will purchase a suit with probability .22, a shirt with probability .
BigorU [14]

Answer:

a) The probability that he doesnt but any items is 0.49

b) He buys exactly 1 of those items with probability 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

lets call su the event that the customer purchases a suit, sh the event that teh customer purchases a shirt and t the event that the customer purchases a tie.

Remembe that for events A, B and C we have that

P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

P(A U B U C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A ∩ B) - P(A ∩ C) - P(B ∩ C) + P(A ∩ B ∩ C)

Also, we are given that

P(su) = 0.22

P(sh) = 0.3

p(t) = 0.28

p(su ∩ sh) =  0.11

P(su ∩ t) = 0.14

P(sh ∩ t) = 0.1

P(sh ∩ t ∩ su) = 0.06

The event that he doesnt buy any item has as complementary event su ∪ sh ∪ t, therefore

P( he doesnt but any items) = 1-P(su U sh U t) =

1-( P(su) + p(sh) + p(t) - P(su ∩ sh) - p(su∩t) - p(sh∩t) + p(su∩sh∩t) ) =

1-(0.22+0.30+0.28-0.11-0.14-0.1+0.06) = 1-0.51 = 0.49

b) The probability that he buys at least 2 items is equal to

p(su ∩ t) + p(su ∩ sh) + p(sh ∩ t) -2 p(su ∩ t ∩ sh) (because we are counting the triple intersection 3 times, so we need to remove it twice)

This number is

0.14+0.11+0.1-2*0.06 = 0.23

Thus, the probability that he buys exactly one item can be computed by substracting from one the probability of the complementary event : she buys 2 or more or non items

P(he buys exactly one item) = 1- ( p(he buys none items) + p(he buys at least 2) ) = 1- 0.49-0.23 = 0.28

Two boats leave port at noon. Boat 1 sails due east at 12 knots. Boat 2 sails due south at 8 knots. At 2 pm the wind diminishes
Ivan

Answer:

14.86 knots.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Given that:</em>

The boats leave the port at noon.

Speed of boat 1 = 12 knots due east

Speed of boat 2 = 8 knots due south

At 2 pm:

Distance traveled by boat 1 = 24 units due east

Distance traveled by boat 2 = 16 units due south

Now, speed of boat 1 changes to 9 knots:

At 3 pm:

Distance traveled by boat 1 = 24 + 9= 33 units due east

Distance traveled by boat 2 = 16+8 = 24 units due south

Now, speed of boat 1 changes to 8+7 = 15 knots

At 5 pm:

Distance traveled by boat 1 = 33 + 2\times 9= 51 units due east

Distance traveled by boat 2 = 24 + 2 \times 15 = 54 units due south

Now, the situation of distance traveled can be seen by the attached right angled \triangle AOB.

O is the port and A is the location of boat 1

B is the location of boat 2.

Using pythagorean theorem:

\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = OA^{2} + OB^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = 51^{2} + 54^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = 2601+ 2916 = 5517\\\Rightarrow AB = 74.28\ units

so, the total distance between the two boats is 74.28 units.

Change in distance per hour = \dfrac{Total\ distance}{Total\ time}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{74.28}{5} = 14.86\ knots

A homemade lip balm consists of coconut oil and beeswax. Coconut oil costs $0.50 per ounce and beeswax costs $2.00 per ounce. If
Alika [10]

Let

a--------> the total cost in dollars of 6 ounces of coconut oil

b--------> the total cost in dollars of 5 ounces of beeswax

we know that

a=0.50 \frac{\$}{ounce}*6=\$3

b=2.00 \frac{\$}{ounce}*5=\$10

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the total cost in dollars of 6 ounces of coconut oil is a=\$3

the total cost in dollars of 5 ounces ofbeeswax is b=\$10
