Answer:

<u>1/6</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>P (red)</u>

No. of red / Total
3 / 3 + 4 + 2
3/9
1/3

<u>P (green without replacing red)</u>

No. of green / Total - 1
4 / 9 - 1
4/8
1/2

<u>P (final)</u>

P (red) × P (green without replacing red)
1/3 × 1/2
<u>1/6</u>

We will use the sine and cosine of the sum of two angles, the sine and consine of $\frac{\pi}{2}$ , and the relation of the tangent with the sine and cosine:

$\sin (\alpha+\beta)=\sin \alpha\cdot\cos\beta + \cos\alpha\cdot\sin\beta

\cos(\alpha+\beta)=\cos\alpha\cdot\cos\beta-\sin\alpha\cdot\sin\beta$

$\sin\dfrac{\pi}{2}=1,\ \cos\dfrac{\pi}{2}=0$

$\tan\alpha = \dfrac{\sin\alpha}{\cos\alpha}$

If you use those identities, for $\alpha=x,\ \beta=\dfrac{\pi}{2}$ , you get:

$\sin\left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = \sin x\cdot\cos\dfrac{\pi}{2} + \cos x\cdot\sin\dfrac{\pi}{2} = \sin x\cdot0 + \cos x \cdot 1 = \cos x$

$\cos\left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = \cos x \cdot \cos\dfrac{\pi}{2} - \sin x\cdot\sin\dfrac{\pi}{2} = \cos x \cdot 0 - \sin x \cdot 1 = -\sin x$

Hence:

$\tan \left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = \dfrac{\sin\left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)}{\cos\left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)} = \dfrac{\cos x}{-\sin x} = -\cot x$

1. The probability of telesales representative making a sale on a customer call is 0.15.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

1c

$n = 33$

1d

$n = 19$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The probability of telesales representative making a sale on a customer call is $p = 0.15$

The mean is $\mu = 5$

Generally the distribution of sales call made by a telesales representative follows a binomial distribution

i.e

$X \~ \ \ \ B(n , p)$

and the probability distribution function for binomial distribution is

$P(X = x) = ^{n}C_x * p^x * (1- p)^{n-x}$

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators

Generally the mean is mathematically represented as

$\mu = n* p$

=> $5= n * 0.15$

=> $n = 33$

Generally the least number of calls that need to be made by a representative for the probability of at least 1 sale to exceed 0.95 is mathematically represented as

$P( X \ge 1) = 1 - P( X < 1 ) > 0.95$

=> $P( X \ge 1) = 1 - P( X =0 ) > 0.95$

=> $P( X \ge 1) = 1 - [ ^{n}C_0 * (0.15 )^0 * (1- 0.15)^{n-0}] > 0.95$

=> $1 - [1 * 1* (0.85)^{n}] > 0.95$

=> $[(0.85)^{n}] > 0.05$

taking natural log of both sides

$n = \frac{ln(0.05)}{ln(0.85)}$

=> $n = 19$

Supervisor a earns a flat rate of $25 per hour, while supervisor b earns $20 per hour for the first 30 hours and then 50% more f

mixas84 [53]

Let same number of hours = x,
since the salary earned is also the same, then
Salary of supervisor A = $25x
Salary of supervisor B = $20(30)+$30(x-30)
Equating
25x=600+30(x-30)
30x-25x=900-600
5x=300
x=60 hours
Check:
Salary of supervisor A = 25*60=1500
Salary of supervisor B = 20*30+30*(60-30)=600+900=1500, ok.
