It is known that 60% of the students at a large university have a job and 40% do not have a job. If three of these students are randomly selected, what is the probability at least one does not have a job? (Hint: the compliment of this event is all three have jobs.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

78.4% probability at least one does not have a job

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a job, or they do not have a job. The probability of a student having a job is independent of other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

60% of the students at a large university have a job

This means that [tex]p = 0.6[/tex]

Three of these students are randomly selected

This means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]

What is the probability at least one does not have a job?

Either all of them have a job, or at least one does not. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

[tex]P(X < 3) + P(X = 3) = 1[/tex]

We want P(X < 3). Then

[tex]P(X < 3) = 1 - P(X = 3)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.6)^{3}.(0.4)^{0} = 0.216[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 3) = 1 - P(X = 3) = 1 - 0.216 = 0.784[/tex]

78.4% probability at least one does not have a job

In February, Alec had 1,544 visitors to his website. In March, he had 1,386 visitors to his website. What is the percentage decrease of the number of visitors to Alec's website from February to March? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth of a percent.
a. 11.4%
b. 12%
c. 10.2%
d. 89.9%

Answers

Answer:

option c. 10.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of visitors to Alec's website in February = 1,544

Number of visitors to website in March = 1,386

Number of decreasing members = 1544 - 1386 = 158 visitors

decrease percentage = [tex]\frac{\text{number of decreasing members}}{\text{number of previous members}}\times 100[/tex]

                                    = [tex]\frac{158}{1544}\times 100[/tex]

                                    = 10.233 ≈ 10.2%

percentage decrease of the number of visitors is 10.2%.

Between 11 P.M. and 8:45 A.M., the water level in a swimming pool decreased by 3/8 in. Assuming that the water level decreased at a constant rate, how much did the water level drop each hour?

Answers

Answer:

the water level drop per hour is [tex]\frac{1}{26}\,\,\frac{in}{h} \approx 0.03846\,\,\frac{in}{h}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that in between 11 PM and 8:45 AM on the following day, there is a change in time equal to 9 hours and 45 minutes = 9.75 hours.

If the water level of the pool dropped by 3/8 of an inch, and the rate was constant, then the rate of level drop per hour is:

[tex]\frac{\frac{3}{8} in}{9.75\,h} =\frac{1}{26}\,\,\frac{in}{h} = 0.03846\,\,\frac{in}{h}[/tex]

tom paid $16 for 6 audio cassettes. Which proportion can be used to find the amount of money (m) he would pay for 9 audio cassettes

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Tom paid $16 for 6 audio cassettes and we are told to find the proportion to get the amount of money (m) he would pay for 9 audio cassettes. To get this, we have to know the amount of the cost of 1 audio cassette. Since Tom paid $16 for 6 audio cassettes, 1 audio cassette will cost:

= $16/6

= $2.67

1 audio cassette will cost $2.67

The amount of money spent will depend on the number of audio cassettes. Therefore,

m = $2.67 × n

m = $2.67n

where n = number of audio cassette

The amount of money he'll pay for 9 cassette will be:

m = $2.67n

m = $2.67 × 9

m = $24.03

A paper clip is just over 4 cm long. How many paper clips like this can be made from a straight piece of wire 10 meters long?

Answers

Answer:

25 Paper Clips

Step-by-step explanation:

100cm is equal to 1 meter. So to find the answer you would need to take the whole of the centimeter (100) and divide that by the paper clips length (4).

100/4 = 25

So, to form a straight line 10 meters long you would need 25 paper clips each 4cm long.

The number of 2,500 paper clips like the given paper clip can be made from a straight piece of wire that is 10 meters long.

What is multiplication?

Multiplication is a type of mathematical operation. The repetition of the same expression types is another aspect of the practice.

For instance, the expression 2 x 3 indicates that 3 has been multiplied by two.

We can start by converting the length of the wire to centimeters since the length of the paper clip is given in centimeters:

10 meters = 10,000 centimeters

To determine the number of paper clips that can be made from the wire, we need to divide the total length of the wire by the length of each paper clip.

Number of paper clips = Total length of wire / Length of each paper clip

Length of each paper clip = 4 cm

Number of paper clips = 10,000 cm / 4 cm

Number of paper clips = 2,500

Therefore, the required number is 2500.

The temperature falls from 0 degrees to Negative 12 and one-fourth degrees in 3 and one-half hours. Which expression finds the change in temperature per hour?

Answers

Answer:

The expression used to find the change in temperature per hour is Algebraic expression

Thus per hour; the temperature falls at the rate of [tex]- 3\dfrac{1}{2}^0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A temperature falls from 0 to  [tex]- 12\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]     in     [tex]3\dfrac{1}{2} \ hours[/tex]

Which expression finds the change in temperature per hour.

From the above given information;

The initial temperature is 0

The final temperature is  [tex]- 12\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]  

The change in temperature is [tex]\Delta T = T_2 - T_1[/tex]

[tex]\Delta T = -12\dfrac{1}{4} -0[/tex]

[tex]\Delta T = -12.25[/tex]

Thus;

-12.25 ° = 3.5 hours

To find the change in x°   per hour; we have;

x°            = 1 hour

The expression used to find the change in temperature per hour is Algebraic expression

From above if we cross multiply ; we have;

(- 12.25° × 1 hour) = (x° × 3.5 hour)

Divide both sides by 3.5 hours; we have:

[tex]\dfrac{-12.25^0*1 }{3.5}=\dfrac{ x^0 *3.5}{3.5}[/tex]

x° =  - 3.5

x° = [tex]- 3\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Thus per hour; the temperature falls at the rate of [tex]- 3\dfrac{1}{2}^0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first convert both Brooke's time and Lamont's time into the same unit so that we can more easily compare them. To make it simpler, we'll convert both times into minutes.

Brooke: 1 hr 45 min

We know that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so we essentially have:

60 min and 45 min  ⇒  60 + 45 = 105 min

Lamont: 115 min

This is already in minutes, so we don't have to do anything to it.

We now have 105 minutes for Brooke and 115 minutes for Lamont. Let's compare:

- Since we know Brooke took 105 minutes, we can eliminate A and B.

- Clearly, 105 < 115, which means Brooke took less time that Lamont to finish the race

- If Brooke took less time, that means she's faster.

Thus, the answer is C.

~ an aesthetics lover

Answer:

Time taken by Brooke = 1h 45min

= 60min + 45min

= 105min

Time taken by Lamont = 115min

Brooke finished in 105min, so she was faster.

What is the equation of a line with a slope of -2 and passes through the point (6,8)

Answers

Start with the point-slope formula, shown below in bold.

Y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Our point which in this case is (6, 8) represents (x1, y1) in our formula.

~Substitute

Y - 8 = -2(x - 6)

I will be writing this equation in standard form.

First distribute the -2 through the parentheses.

This gives us y - 8 = -2x + 12.

Next we would move the -8 to the right side of the equation

by adding 8 to both sides to get y = -2x + 20.

Finally we move our x term to the left side of the equation

by adding 2x to both sides and our answer is 2x + y = 20.
