Sam is getting ready for a big date when he realizes that he has no money. his roommate, bill, also has no money, but he has a c

Novay_Z [31]

Recall that to compute for the new amount of the original sum at a compound interest is A(t) = P(1 + r/n)^(nt) where P is the original amount, r is the interest rate, n is the number of times P is compounded each year, and t is the number of year. With this, the total amount owed by Sam in five full years becomes [(120)(1 + 0.30/12)^60 ]. The total interest is the difference between the original amount owed and the amount that needs to be paid over time. Thus, total interest is [(120)(1 + 0.30/12)^60 ] - 120 = 407.97. Therefore, the total interest is $407.97<span>.</span>

Lie detectors Refer to Exercise 82. Let Y = the number of people who the lie detector says are telling the truth.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

a) $P(Y\geq 10) = PX \leq 2) = 0.558$

b) $E(X) = \mu_X = np = 12*0.2 = 2.4$

$\sigma_X = \sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{12*0.2*(1-0.2)}=1.386$

$E(Y) = \mu_Y = np = 12*0.8 = 9.6$

$\sigma_Y = \sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{12*0.8*(1-0.8)}=1.386$

For this case the expected value of people lying is 2.4 and the complement is 9.6 and that makes sense since we have a total of 12 poeple.

And the deviation for both variables are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this previous info : "A federal report finds that lie detector tests given to truthful persons have probability about 0.2 of suggesting that the person is deceptive. A company asks 12 job applicants about thefts from previous employers, using a lie detector to assess their truthfulness. Suppose that all 12 answer truthfully. Let X = the number of people who the lie detector says are being deceptive"

For this case the distribution of X is binomial $X \sim N(n=12, p=0.2)And we define the new random variable Y="the number of people who the lie detector says are telling the truth" so as we can see y is the oppose of the random variable X, and the distribution for Y would be given by:[tex] Y \sim Bin (n=12,p=1-0.2=0.8)$

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

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

Part a

For this case we want to find this probability:

$P(Y \geq 10) = P(Y=10)+P(Y=11) +P(Y=12)$

And if we find the individual probabilites we got:

$P(Y=10)=(12C10)(0.8)^{10} (1-0.8)^{12-10}=0.283$

$P(Y=11)=(12C11)(0.8)^{11} (1-0.8)^{12-11}=0.206$

$P(Y=12)=(12C12)(0.8)^{12} (1-0.8)^{12-12}=0.069$

And if we replace we got:

$P(Y \geq 10) =0.283+0.206+0.069=0.558$

And for this case if we find $P(X\leq 2)=P(X=0) +P(X=1)+P(X=2)$ for the individual probabilites we got:

$P(X=0)=(12C0)(0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{12-0}=0.069$

$P(X=1)=(12C1)(0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{12-1}=0.206$

$P(X=2)=(12C2)(0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{12-2}=0.283$

$P(X\leq 2)=0.283+0.206+0.069=0.558$

So as we can see we have $P(Y\geq 10) = P(X \leq 2) = 0.558$

Part b

Random variable X

For this case the expected value is given by:

$E(X) = \mu_X = np = 12*0.2 = 2.4$

And the deviation is given by:

$\sigma_X = \sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{12*0.2*(1-0.2)}=1.386$

Random variable Y

For this case the expected value is given by:

$E(Y) = \mu_Y = np = 12*0.8 = 9.6$

And the deviation is given by:

$\sigma_Y = \sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{12*0.8*(1-0.8)}=1.386$

For this case the expected value of people lying is 2.4 and the complement is 9.6 and that makes sense since we have a total of 12 poeple.

And the deviation for both variables are the same.

chris can run at a constant speed of 12 km/h. How ling will it take him to run from his home to the park, a distance of 0.8 km?

densk [106]

Recall that distance = speed times time. Thus, time = distance / speed.

Here:

time = distance / speed = 0.8 km / 12 km/hr = 1/15 hr.

Note that 1/15 hr = 1/15 (60 min) = 4 minutes

The coordinates of the vertices for the figure HIJK are H(0, 5), I(3, 3), J(4, –1), and K(1, 1).

pogonyaev

Answer: The quadrilateral HIJK is a parallelogram.

Explanation:

It is given that the coordinates of the vertices for the figure HIJK are H(0, 5), I(3, 3), J(4, –1), and K(1, 1).

The parallelogram diagonal theorem states that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram if both diagonal bisects each other.

If HIJK is a quadrilateral, then HJ and IK are the diagonals of HIJK.

First we find the midpoint of HJ.

$\text{Midpoint of HJ}=(\frac{0+4}{2}, \frac{5-1}{2})$

$\text{Midpoint of HJ}=(2,2)$

Now, find the midpoint of IK.

$\text{Midpoint of IK}=(\frac{3+1}{2}, \frac{3+1}{2})$

$\text{Midpoint of IK}=(2,2)$

The midpoint of both diagonal are same. It means the diagonals of HIJK bisects each other.

By parallelogram diagonal theorem, we can say that the quadrilateral HIJK is a parallelogram.

For a continuous random variable x, the probability density function f(x) represents

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The graph of a continuous probability distribution is a curve. Probability is represented by area under the curve.

The curve is called the probability density function (abbreviated as pdf).

We use the symbol f(x) to represent the curve

therefore

The probability density function f(x) represents . the height of the function at x.
