Answer:

100 or 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the question does not specify whether $\frac{2}{3}$ refers to only the girls or all students, both will be calculated for your convenience.

If 2/3 refers to all students:

150* $\frac{2}{3}$

=100

If 2/3 refers to the girls:

150* $\frac{3}{5}$ * $\frac{2}{3}$

=150* $\frac{2}{5}$

=60

Greta must volunteer 225 hours for a community service project. She plans to volunteer for 6 hours

klemol [59]

Answer:

A. "an arithmetic sequence with a common difference (d) of -6."

B. 33 hours

C. $a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

D. See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sequence lessens by 6, this is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference (d) of -6.

The formula for term of arithmetic sequence is:

$a_n=a_1+d(n-1)$

Wher a_1 is the first term and d is the common difference. Since we want to find after 33 weeks, we plug in 33 into n:

$a_{33}=225 + (-6)(33-1)\\a_{33}=33$

She will have left 33 hours

We will use the arithmetic sequence term formula written above, that is:

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

THis gives us the amount of hours left after a certain number of weeks.

We plug in 40 into n and find the hours left:

$a_{40}=225+(40-1)(-6)\\a_{40}=225-234\\a_{40}=-9$

THis term is NEGATIVE, which means that Greta will not have to work 40 weeks to fulfill the target of 225 hours. She needs to work less.

A construction company is considering submitting bids for contracts of three different projects. The company estimates that it h

julsineya [31]

Answer:

a. $P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}\\$

b. $E(x) = 0.3$

c. $S(x)=0.5196$

d. $E=5,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the company won x bids follows a binomial distribution because we have n identical and independent experiments with a probability p of success and (1-p) of fail.

So, the PMF of X is equal to:

$P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}\\$

Where p is 0.1 and it is the chance of winning. Additionally, n is 3 and it is the number of bids. So the PMF of X is:

$P(x)=\frac{3!}{x!(3-x)!}*0.1^{x}*(1-0.1)^{n-x}\\$

For binomial distribution:

$E(x)=np\\S(x)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Therefore, the company can expect to win 0.3 bids and it is calculated as:

$E(x) = np = 3*0.1 = 0.3$

Additionally, the standard deviation of the number of bids won is:

$S(x)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{3(0.1)(1-0.1)}=0.5196$

Finally, the probability to won 1, 2 or 3 bids is equal to:

$P(1)=\frac{3!}{1!(3-1)!}*0.1^{1}*(1-0.1)^{3-1}=0.243\\P(2)=\frac{3!}{2!(3-2)!}*0.1^{2}*(1-0.1)^{3-2}=0.027\\P(3)=\frac{3!}{3!(3-3)!}*0.1^{3}*(1-0.1)^{3-3}=0.001$

So, the expected profit for the company is equal to:

$E=-10,000+50,000(0.243)+100,000(0.027)+150,000(0.001)\\E=5,000$

Because there is a probability of 0.243 to win one bid and it will produce 50,000 of income, there is a probability of 0.027 to win 2 bids and it will produce 100,000 of income and there is a probability of 0.001 to win 3 bids and it will produce 150,000 of income.
