Answer:

72.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

(The total number of cards - 40 / Number completed - 29)

1. 40 = 100%

2. Divide both sides of the equation by 40 to get 1 on the right side (40/40 = 1) (100%/40 = 2.5%)

3. multiply both sides of the equation by 29 to find the percentage of cards completed (1*29 = 29 cards finished) (2.5%*29 = 72.5%)

4. Answer: Elin has completed 29 cards which is 72.5% of 40

An elementary school is offering 2 language classes: one in Spanish (S) and one in French (F). Given that P(S) = 50%, P(F) = 40%

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

(a) Probability that a randomly selected student is taking Spanish given that he or she is taking French = 0.5 .

(b) Probability that a randomly selected student is not taking French given that he or she is not taking Spanish = 0.6 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an elementary school is offering 2 language classes ;

<em>Spanish Language is denoted by S and French language is denoted by F.</em>

Also we are given, P(S) = 0.5 {Probability of students taking Spanish language}

P(F) = 0.4 {Probability of students taking French language}

$P(S\bigcup F)$ = 0.7 {Probability of students taking Spanish or French Language}

<em>We know that, </em> $P(A\bigcup B)$ <em> = </em> $P(A) + P(B) -$ <em> </em> $P(A\bigcap B)$ <em />

So, $P(S\bigcap F)$ = $P(S) + P(F) - P(S\bigcup F)$ = 0.5 + 0.4 - 0.7 = 0.2

$P(S\bigcap F)$ means Probability of students taking both Spanish and French Language.

Also, P(S)' = 1 - P(S) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

P(F)' = 1 - P(F) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

$P(S'\bigcap F')$ = 1 - $P(S\bigcup F)$ = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

(a) Probability that a randomly selected student is taking Spanish given that he or she is taking French is given by P(S/F);

P(S/F) = $\frac{P(S\bigcap F)}{P(F)}$ = $\frac{0.2}{0.4}$ = 0.5

(b) Probability that a randomly selected student is not taking French given that he or she is not taking Spanish is given by P(F'/S');

P(F'/S') = $\frac{P(S'\bigcap F')}{P(S')}$ = $\frac{1- P(S\bigcup F)}{1-P(S)}$ = $\frac{0.3}{0.5}$ = 0.6 .

A website manager has noticed that during the evening hours, about 5 people per minute check out from their shopping cart and m

Over [174]

Answer:

a) Poisson distribution

b) 99.33% probability that in any one minute at least one purchase is made

c) 0.05% probability that seven people make a purchase in the next four minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

5 people per minute check out from their shopping cart and make an online purchase.

This means that $\mu = 5$

a) What model might you suggest to model the number of purchases per minute? 

The only information that we have is the mean number of an event(purchases) in a time interval. Each event is also independent fro each other. So you should suggest the Poisson distribution to model the number of purchases per minute.

b) What is the probability that in any one minute at least one purchase is made? 

Either no purchases are made, or at least one is. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

We want to find $P(X \geq 1)$

So

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-5}*(5)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0067$

1 - 0.0067 = 0.9933.

99.33% probability that in any one minute at least one purchase is made

c) What is the probability that seven people make a purchase in the next four minutes?

The mean is 5 purchases in a minute. So, for 4 minutes

$\mu = 4*5 = 20$

We have to find P(X = 7).

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-20}*(20)^{7}}{(7)!} = 0.0005$

0.05% probability that seven people make a purchase in the next four minutes

The length of a rectangle is given by the function l(x)=2x+1, and the width of the rectangle is given by the function w(x)=x+4.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

a(x)=2x^2+9x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the length and width, as well as the formula to find the area:

Length: 2x + 1

Width: x + 4

A = l * w

A = (2x + 1)(x + 4)

2x^2 + 8x + x + 4

We can add like terms now:

2x^2 + 9x + 4

Our area is 2x^2 + 9x + 4

Our answer would be a(x)=2x^2+9x+4
