A student is taking a history course and an English course. He decides that the probability of passing the history course is .75 and the probability of passing the English course is .84. If these events are independent, what is the probability that (a) he passes both courses; (b) he passes exactly one of them

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 0.63

b. 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a probability question. When two events are independent, it means that the probability of one of the events happening has no effect on the probability on the other happening.

From the question, let P(H) be the probability of passing the history course while P(E) is the probability of passing the English course;

By representation;

P(H) = 0.75

P(E) = 0.84

a) Probability of passing both

This means that he passes history and also passes English;

Mathematically that would be represented as;

P(E) * P(H) = 0.84 * 0.75 = 0.63

b) Probability that he passes exactly one of the courses.

This means that he passes one and he fails the other. Mathematically, we should remember that the probability of an event not happening = 1 - probability of the event happening

Let P’(H) and P’(E) be the probability of failing the history and english courses respectively;

Thus; P’(H) = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25

while P’(E) = 1-0.84 = 0.16

Now the probability that he passes exactly one means he passes one and fails the other.

So in this case, we have two scenarios; He passes History and fail English or passes English and fails history.

Thus, we have;

[P(H) and P’(E) or P(E) and P’(H)]

In probability, and means multiplication while or means addition; thus we have;

{P(H) * P’(E) } + {P’(H) * P(E)}

= ( 0.75 * 0.16) + (0.25 * 0.84)

= 0.12 + 0.21 = 0.33

On the basis of data provided by a salary survey, the variance in annual salaries for seniors in public accounting firms is approximately 2.3 and the variance in annual salaries for managers in public accounting firms is approximately 11.3. The salary data were provided in thousands of dollars. Assuming that the salary data were based on samples of 25 seniors and 26 managers, test to determine whether there is a significant difference between the variances of salaries for seniors and managers. At a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion? State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Answers

Answer:

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2 _2[/tex]

The alternative  hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : \sigma^2_1 \ne \sigma^2 _2[/tex]

The conclusion is  

 There is no  sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference between the variances of salaries for seniors and managers

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The variance for seniors is  [tex]s ^2_1 = 2.3[/tex]

   The variance for managers  is [tex]s ^2_2 = 11.3[/tex]

   The  first sample size is  [tex]n_1 = 25[/tex]

    The second sample size is  [tex]n_2 = 26[/tex]

    The significance level is  [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

     

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2 _2[/tex]

The alternative  hypothesis is  [tex]H_a : \sigma^2_1 \ne \sigma^2 _2[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

      [tex]F = \frac{s_1^2}{s_2^2}[/tex]

=>    [tex]F = \frac{2.3}{11.3}[/tex]

=>    [tex]F = \frac{2.3}{11.3}[/tex]

=>    [tex]F = 0.2035[/tex]

Generally the p-value is obtain for the F-distribution table (Reference - Free statistic calculator ) at a degrees of freedom

          [tex]df_1 = 25 - 1[/tex]

          [tex]df_1 = 24[/tex]

and    [tex]df_2 = 26 - 1[/tex]

           [tex]df_2 = 25[/tex]

The p- value is  

        [tex]p-value = f_{0.2035,24,25} = 0.99989[/tex]

So from the calculation we see that

       [tex]p-value > \alpha[/tex]

So we fail to reject the null hypothesis

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The 7 problems Calvin made mistakes in are as follows:

1. 76,450,000

We are moving the decimal point to our left by 7 decimal places. Therefore, the exponent of 10 should be 7 not 8.

The correct scientific notation = [tex] 7.645*10^7 [/tex]

2. 0.000327

We move the decimal point to our right by 4 decimal places. Since we are counting to our right, the exponent of 10 should be -4 not 4.

The correct scientific notation = [tex] 3.27*10^{-4} [/tex]

4. 116,000,000,000

Number of decimal places moved to our left = 11

The exponent of 10 should be 11 not 9.

The correct scientific notation = [tex] 1.16*10^11 [/tex]

5. 0.024

Number of decimal places moved to our right = 2

Since we are moving to our right, exponent of 10 = -2.

Calvin made a mistake here by not placing a decimal point in the first number after the last 0 to our right.

The correct scientific notation = [tex] 2.4*10^{-2} [/tex]

7. 100

There are just 2 zeros.

Therefore, the exponent of 10 = 2 not 3.

correct scientific notation = [tex] 10^2 [/tex]

9. 900,000

Number of decimal places moved to our left = 5

Since we are moving to the left, the exponent of 10 = 5 not -5

The correct scientific notation = [tex] 9*10^5 [/tex]

10. 0.00633

Number of decimal places moved to our right = 3

The exponent of 10 = -3

Calvin made a mistake by wrongly placing the decimal point.

The correct scientific notation = [tex] 6.33*10^{-3} [/tex]

What is the greatest whole number that rounds to 1,900 when rounded to the nearest hundred? The least whole number?

Answers

Answer:

When we round to the nearest hundred, we must look at the tens digit.

If the tens digit is 5 or lager, then we round up (we add 1 to the hundreds digit and after that, all the digits are zero.)

If the tens digit is smaller than 5, then we round down (the hundreds digit remains unchanged and after that, we complete with zeros.)

Then, the rounded number is 1900.

a) The greatest whole number that rounds to 1900 would be a number that is rounded down, then it will be:

1949

b) The least whole number that is rounded to 1900 is a number that we round up, this is:

1850

Largest: 1,949

This number is largest because it is closest to 1,900 without the number in the tens place being greater than 5, and the number in the tens place is bigger than 5

Smallest: 1,850

This number is smallest because any smaller number, like 1,849, would round to 1,800, and the number in the tens place is smaller than 5.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to Y= -2/3x+4 and that passes through (-2, -2)

Answers

Answer:

y = -2/3x-10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Y= -2/3x+4

This is in slope intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is -2/3

Parallel lines have the same slope

y = -2/3 x+b

Substitute the point into the equation

-2 = -2/3 (-2) +b

-2 = 4/3 +b

Subtract 4/3 from each side

-6/3 -4/3 = 4/3 -4/3 +b

-10/3 = b

Step-by-step explanation:

You distribute the 2 into the parenthesis, so 2•5x=10x and 2•4=8. So now you have 10x+8=8. You want to get the x alone so you have to bring the 8 on the left side to the ride and you do that by subtracting 8 in both sides. So 10x+8(-8)=8(-8). That turns into 10x=0 because 8-8=0. and now you want to leave the x alone so you divide by 10 so 10x/10=0/10 and so the 10x/10=x and 0 divided by anything is zero. Therefore, x=0

A rectangular yard measuring 32ft by 50ft is bordered (and surrounded) by a fence. Inside, a walk that is 3ft wide goes all the way along the fence. Find the area of this walk. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

the yard has a width of 32 feet and a length of 50 feet. -- area of the yard is 1600 ft sq. The walkway is 3 feet wide throughout the fence, meaning you add 6 to 32 and 6 to 50 to get your measurements for the yard + fence area. -- is equal to 2128
