Hello!!

P (Passing a qualifying examination) = 3/4

P (Being appointed if he does pass) = 3/8

P (Recieve the job) = 3/4 × 3/8 = 9/24

Good luck :)

Answer:

9/32

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for the probability of passing the exam and being appointed.  This means we multiply the two:

3/4(3/8) = 9/32.

A local project being analyzed by PERT has 42​ activities, 13 of which are on the critical path. If the estimated time along the
ryzh [129]

Answer:

the probability that the project will be completed in 95 days or​ less, P(x ≤ 95) = 0.023

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a normal probability distribution question.

We'll need to standardize the 95 days to solve this.

The standardized score is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - xbar)/σ

x = 95 days

xbar = mean = 105 days

σ = standard deviation = √(variance) = √25 = 5

z = (95 - 105)/5 = - 2

To determine the probability that the project will be completed in 95 days or​ less, P(x ≤ 95) = P(z ≤ (-2))

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(x ≤ 95) = P(z ≤ (-2)) = 0.02275 = 0.023

Now Cathy is three times as old as Katie. In six years Cathy will be only twice as old as Katie. How old is each girl now?
BabaBlast [244]
Katie is 6; Cathy is 18!

X- Katie’s age now and 3x -Cathys age now
In 6 years, Katie is 12 and Cathy is 24.

2 x (X+6) = 3x + 6
2x + 12 = 3x + 6
6 = x

(14.14) larry reads that 1 out of 6 eggs contains salmonella bacteria. so he never uses more than 5 eggs in cooking. if eggs do
melomori [17]

we know that

The probability that "at least one" is the probability of exactly one, exactly 2, exactly 3, 4 and 5 contain salmonella.

The easiest way to solve this is to recognise that "at least one" is ALL 100% of the possibilities EXCEPT that none have salmonella.

If the probability that any one egg has 1/6 chance of salmonella

then

the probability that any one egg will not have salmonella = 5/6.

Therefore

for all 5 to not have salmonella


= (5/6)^5 = 3125 / 7776

= 0.401877 = 0.40 to 2 decimal places


REMEMBER this is the probability that NONE have salmonella


Therefore

the probability that at least one does = 1 - 0.40

= 0.60


the answer is

0.60 or 60%
