(a) The probability that there is no open route from A to B is (0.2)^3 = 0.008.
Therefore the probability that at least one route is open from A to B is given by: 1 - 0.008 = 0.992.
The probability that there is no open route from B to C is (0.2)^2 = 0.04.
Therefore the probability that at least one route is open from B to C is given by:
1 - 0.04 = 0.96.
The probability that at least one route is open from A to C is:
0.992\times0.96=0.9523

(b)
α The probability that at least one route is open from A to B would become 0.9984. The probability in (a) will become:0.9984\times0.96=0.95846

β The probability that at least one route is open from B to C would become 0.992. The probability in (a) will become:
0.992\times0.992=0.9841

Gamma: The probability that a highway between A and C will not be blocked in rush hour is 0.8. We need to find the probability that there is at least one route open from A to C using either a route A to B to C, or the route A to C direct. This is found by using the formula:
P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)
0.9523+0.8-(0.9523\times0.8)=0.99
Therefore building a highway direct from A to C gives the highest probability that there is at least one route open from A to C.

What is the simplified value of the expression below rounded to the nearest hundredth? StartFraction 3.5 times 2 + 9 over 10.4 m
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The answer is 2.11~! I hope I helped <3

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5x2=7   7+9=16   1.4x2=2.8   10.4-2.8=7.6   16/7.6=2.10526315789

but we simplify so, 2.10526315789 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 2.11~!

Anja is creating a triangle using three straws. The two shorter straws have lengths of 20 cm and 21 cm. How long, in centimeters
Digiron [165]
A^2 + b^2 = c^2...a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
20^2 + 21^2 = c^2
400 + 441 = c^2
841 = c^2
sqrt 841 = c
29 = c <== third straw will be 29 cm

Suppose you are an expert on the fashion industry and wish to gather information to compare the amount earned per month by model
Ann [662]

Answer:

(1) The degrees of freedom for unequal variance test is (14, 11).

(2) The decision rule for the 0.01 significance level is;

  • If the value of our test statistics is less than the critical values of F at 0.01 level of significance, then we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis.      
  • If the value of our test statistics is more than the critical values of F at 0.01 level of significance, then we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis.  

(3) The value of the test statistic is 0.3796.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that you are an expert on the fashion industry and wish to gather information to compare the amount earned per month by models featuring Liz Claiborne's attire with those of Calvin Klein.

The following is the amount ($000) earned per month by a sample of 15 Claiborne models;

$3.5, $5.1, $5.2, $3.6, $5.0, $3.4, $5.3, $6.5, $4.8, $6.3, $5.8, $4.5, $6.3, $4.9, $4.2 .

The following is the amount ($000) earned by a sample of 12 Klein models;

$4.1, $2.5, $1.2, $3.5, $5.1, $2.3, $6.1, $1.2, $1.5, $1.3, $1.8, $2.1.

(1) As we know that for the unequal variance test, we use F-test. The degrees of freedom for the F-test is given by;

\text{F}_(_n__1-1, n_2-1_)

Here, n_1 = sample of 15 Claiborne models

         n_2 = sample of 12 Klein models

So, the degrees of freedom = (n_1-1, n_2-1) = (15 - 1, 12 - 1) = (14, 11)

(2) The decision rule for 0.01 significance level is given by;

  • If the value of our test statistics is less than the critical values of F at 0.01 level of significance, then we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis.      
  • If the value of our test statistics is more than the critical values of F at 0.01 level of significance, then we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis.  

(3) The test statistics that will be used here is F-test which is given by;

                          T.S. = \frac{s_1^{2} }{s_2^{2} } \times \frac{\sigma_2^{2} }{\sigma_1^{2} }  ~ \text{F}_(_n__1-1, n_2-1_)

where, s_1^{2} = sample variance of the Claiborne models data = \frac{\sum (X_i-\bar X)^{2} }{n_1-1} = 1.007

s_2^{2} = sample variance of the Klein models data = \frac{\sum (X_i-\bar X)^{2} }{n_2-1} = 2.653    

So, the test statistics =  \frac{1.007}{2.653 } \times 1  ~ \text{F}_(_1_4,_1_1_)

                                   = 0.3796

Hence, the value of the test statistic is 0.3796.

If a 5 foot post casts an 8 foot shadow at the same time that a nearby tree casts a 48 foot shadow how tall is the tree
andriy [413]
The first thing we are going to assume for this case is that the tree and the post are located in the same place.
 From that place, both cast a shadow in the same direction.
 We then have two similar triangles.
 Therefore, we have the following relationship:
 \frac{x}{48} = \frac{5}{8}
 From here, we clear the value of x.
 We have then:
 x = \frac{5}{8} *48
 Rewriting:
 x=30
 Answer:
 
the tree is 30 feet tall
