Complete Question

A baker's dozen (13) of cookies is on sale for $2.08. What is the cost of an individual cookie?

Answer:

The cost of an individual cookie is $0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Specifically, it was stated that the baker's dozen is 13 pieces

Hence. A dozen cookies = 13 cookies

Price of a dozen cookies = $2.08

In other words, the price of 13 cookies is $2.08

To get the cost of an individual cookie, we have to divide the price of a dozen cookies by the number of cookies. This is calculated as follows:

$Cost of Cookies = \frac{Price of Cookies}{Number of Cookies}$

By Substituting the right values,

$Cost of Cookies = \frac{Price of Cookies}{Number of Cookies}$

becomes

$Cost of Cookies = \frac{2.08}{13}$

$Cost of Cookies = 0.16$

Hence, the cost of an individual cookie is $0.16

So taking this as if there are 13 dozens of cookies. First we do 13 times 12 which would be 156 cookies in total. Then 156 cookies times 2.08 is 324.48

The time between failures for an electrical appliance is exponentially distributed with a mean of 25 months. What is the probabi

katrin [286]

Answer:

The probability that the next failure will not occur before 30 months have elapsed is 0.0454

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Poisson distribution where

t= number of units of time

x= number of occurrences in t units of time

λ= average number of occurrences per unit of time

P(x;λt) = e raise to power (-λt) multiplied by λtˣ divided by x!

here λt = 25

x= 30

P(x= 30) = 25³⁰e⁻²⁵/ 30!

P (x= 30) = 8.67 E41 * 1.3887 E-11/30! (where E= exponent)

P (x=30) = 1.204 E31/30!

Solving it with a statistical calculator would give

P (x=30) = 0.0454

The probability that the next failure will not occur before 30 months have elapsed is 0.0454

(2.5 points) The probability that an airplane accident which is due to structural failure is diagnosed correctly is 0.85 and the

Nikitich [7]

Answer: 0.51

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a conditional probability. The first event is the airplane accident being caused by structural failure. The probability of it being due to structural failure is 0.3 and the probability of it not being due to structural failure is 0.7. The second event involves the diagnosis of the event. If a plane fails due to structural failure, the probability that it will be diagnosed and the results will say it was due to structural failure is 0.85, and the probability that the diagnosis is unable to identify that it was because of a structural failure is 0.15. If the plane were to fail as a result of some other reason aside structural failure, the probability that the diagnosis will show that it was as a result of structural failure is 0.35 and the probability of the diagnosis showing that is is not as a result of structural failure is 0.65. To find the probability that an airplane failed due to structural failure given that it was diagnosed that it failed due to some malfunction, this is the equation;

p = (probability of plane failing and diagnosis reporting that the failure was due to structural failure)/ (probability of diagnosis reporting that failure was due to structural failure)

p = (0.3*0.85)/((0.3*0.85) + (0.7*0.35))

p = 0.51
