2. A statistics student plans to use a TI-84 Plus calculator on her final exam. From past experience, she estimates that there i

s 0.92 probability that the calculator will work on any given day. Because the final exam is so important, she plans to use redundancy by bringing in two TI-84 Plus calculators. What is the probability that she will be able to complete her exam with a working calculator? Does she really gain much by bringing in the backup calculator? Explain. [6 points]

Answer:

  1. P(≥1 working) = 0.9936
  2. She raises her odds of completing the exam without failure by a factor of 13.5, from 11.5 : 1 to 155.25 : 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Assuming the failure is in the calculator, not the operator, and the failures are independent, the probability of finishing with at least one working calculator is the complement of the probability that both will fail. That is ...

... P(≥1 working) = 1 - P(both fail) = 1 - P(fail)² = 1 - (1 - 0.92)² = 0.9936

2. The odds in favor of finishing an exam starting with only one calculator are 0.92 : 0.08 = 11.5 : 1.

If two calculators are brought to the exam, the odds in favor of at least one working calculator are 0.9936 : 0.0064 = 155.25 : 1.

This odds ratio is 155.25/11.5 = 13.5 times as good as the odds with only one calculator.

_____

My assessment is that there is significant gain from bringing a backup. (Personally, I might investigate why the probability of failure is so high. I have not had such bad luck with calculators, which makes me wonder if operator error is involved.)

Point R and point T have same x coordinate so their distance is by y axis.
Ty-Ry=2.4-1.3=1.1
So the distance between two points is 1.1

Which function has a simplified base of 4^3√4?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The function is f(x) = 4(\sqrt[3]{16} )^{2x}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to choose from options the exponential function which has a simplified base of 4∛4 i.e. ∛(256).

Now, the exponential function in the option III will be the answer.

The function is f(x) = 4(\sqrt[3]{16} )^{2x}.

So, the base is (\sqrt[3]{16} )^{2} = \sqrt[3]{16^{2}} = \sqrt[3]{256} = 4\sqrt[3]{4}. (Answer)

The general formula of an exponential function is f(x) = a(b)^{x} , where b is called the base of the function.

Leona [35]

Question says that "Last week, Jason ran 26.1 miles. He wants to run further this week. He plans to run 2.4 miles to the park, four times around the park, and 2.4 miles back from the park. To represent that inequality, he wrote: 2.4 + 4p + 2.4 ___ 26.1"

We see a blank space before 26.1.

So we need to fill the suitable inequality symbol from <, >, ≤ and ≥.

In given expression "2.4 + 4p + 2.4 ___ 26.1", left side part "2.4 + 4p + 2.4", represents the total length of the path that Jason wants to cover this week.

He has decided to run more than 26.1 miles so that means the sum "2.4 + 4p + 2.4" must be greater than 26.1 miles.

Hence we will use > symbol so that left side becomes greater than the right side part.


So the final answer will be :

2.4 + 4p + 2.4 > 26.1
