6. A certain federal agency employs three consulting firms; A, B and C. The probability that the federal agency employs company

A is .40, company B is .35 and company C is .25 respectively. From past experience it is known that the probability of cost overruns given the consulting firm is employed is.05 for company A, .03 for company B and .15 for company C. Suppose a cost overrun is experienced by an agency (15 points)

A certain federal agency employs three consulting firms (A, B, and C) with probabilities of 0.40, 0.35, and 0.25, respectively. From past experience, it is known that the probability of cost overruns for the firms is 0.05, 0.03, and 0.15, respectively.

P(A) =0.40

P(B) =0.35

P(C ) =0.25

O = cost over run

P(O/A)=0.05

P(O/B)=0.03

P(O/C)=0.15

Baye’s theorem was used.

An a. What is the probability that this federal agency experiences a cost overrun?

P(O) = P(O/A)* P(A) + P(O/B)* P(B) + P(O/C)* P(C )

=0.05*0.40+0.03*0.35+0.15*0.25

=0.068

b. Suppose a cost overrun is experienced by the agency. What is the probability that the consulting firm involved is company C?

P(C/O) = P(O/C)* P(C ) / P(O)

=0.15*0.25 / 0.068

=0.551471

Probability is a branch of mathematics that quantifies the likelihood of an event occurring or the likelihood of a statement being true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, with approximately 0 indicating the improbability of the event and 1 indicating certainty.

Over the first five years of owning her car, Gina drove about 12,200 miles the first year, 16,211 miles the second year, 12,050
attashe74 [19]
The answer is <span>mean = 13,027; median = 12,200; no mode
</span>
Let's rearrange values from the lowest to the highest:
11350, 12050, 12200, 13325, 16211

<span>The mean is the sum of all values divided by the number of values:
</span>(11350 + 12050 + 12200 + 13325 + 16211)/5 ≈ 13027

The median is the middle value. If there is an odd number of data, then the median is the value in the middle. In the data set 11350, 12050, 12200, 13325, 16211, the median (the middle value) is 12200

<span>The mode is the value that occurs most frequently. Since none of the number does not occur most frequently, there is no mode.

May someone please help me on which to graph?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportional relationship means,

y ∝ x

y = kx

k=\frac{y}{x}

Here, k = proportionality constant

Therefore, if the graph of a line passes through the origin (0, 0) table will represent the proportional relationship.

From table 1,

For a point (1, 2)

k=\frac{2}{1}=2

For another point (3, 2)

k=\frac{3}{2}=1.5

In both the cases 'k' is not same of constant.

Therefore, table (1) is not proportional.

For table (2),

Line passes through (2, 0).

That means there is a x-intercept → (2, 0)

Therefore, table doesn't represent a proportional relationship.

For table (3),

Line passes through a point (0, 1)

It means given line has a y-intercept → y = 1

Therefore, table doesn't represent a proportional relationship.

For table (4),

Line of this table passes through two points (1, 3) and (2, 6)

k=\frac{3}{1}=3

k=\frac{6}{2}=3

Therefore, proportionality constant for the given table is 3.

Now we can graph table (4).

What is 3 3/8 tons equal to in pounds?
guapka [62]

1 ton is equivalent to 2000 pounds

we have to find how many pounds 3 3/8 tons are equal to

if 1 ton --> 2000 pounds

we can break down the fraction into 3 + 3/8

then 3 tons --> 2000 x 3 = 6000 pounds

3/8 ton ---> 2000 x 3/8 = \frac{3*2000}{8} = \frac{6000}{8} = 750 pounds

after adding 6000 + 750 = 6750 pounds

answer is 6750 pounds
