The probability that your call to a service line is answered in less than 30 seconds is 0.85. Assume that your calls are indepen

aev [14]

Answer:

a) 0.1720

b) 0.8298

c) 19

Step-by-step explanation:

For each call, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are answered in less than 30 seconds. Or they are not. The probabilities for each call are independent. 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.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

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

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$p = 0.85$

(a) If you call 12 times, what is the probability that exactly 9 of your calls are answered within 30 seconds? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

This is $P(X = 9)$ when $n = 12$ .

So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.85)^{9}.(0.15)^{3} = 0.1720$

(b) If you call 20 times, what is the probability that at least 16 calls are answered in less than 30 seconds? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

This is $P(X \geq 16)$ when $n = 20$

So

$P(X \geq 16) = P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.85)^{16}.(0.15)^{4} = 0.1821$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,17}.(0.85)^{17}.(0.15)^{3} = 0.2428$

$P(X = 18) = C_{20,18}.(0.85)^{18}.(0.15)^{2} = 0.2293$

$P(X = 19) = C_{20,19}.(0.85)^{19}.(0.15)^{1} = 0.1368$

$P(X = 20) = C_{20,20}.(0.85)^{20}.(0.15)^{0} = 0.0388$

So

$P(X \geq 16) = P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.1821 + 0.2428 + 0.2293 + 0.1368 + 0.0388 = 0.8298$

(c) If you call 22 times, what is the mean number of calls that are answered in less than 30 seconds? Round your answer to the nearest integer.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

In this question, we have $n = 22$

So

$E(X) = 22*0.85 = 18.7$

The nearest integer to 18.7 is 19.

The length of a city block running north to south in NYC is about 5 times 10 to the negative second power miles. The distance fr

NemiM [27]

So nyc=5 times 10^-2 miles

NYC-Mumbai=7.5 times 10^3

so
5 times 10^-2 times x=7.5 times 10^3
divide both sdies by 5 times 10^-2
x=(7.5 times 10^3)/(5 times 10^-2)
when dividing scientific notation you do this
x=(7.5 times 10^3)/(5 times 10^-2)=(7.5/5) times ((10^3)/(10^-2))
to divide exponents just subtract top from bottom
3-(-2)=5
answer is
x=1.5 times 10^5

20% of the people in a village own a dog, 30% own goats and 40% own cattle, 5% own both a dog and goats, 4% own both a dog and c

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

37 %

Step-by-step explanation:

here..

only Dog = 20- 5 - 4 - 1 = 10

only goats = 30 - 5 - 3 - 1 = 21

only cattle = 40 - 4 - 3 - 1 = 32

then ... since the maximum percentage is 100 %

people who don't own any animal = 100% - 10% - 21% - 32% = 37 %
