Answer:

a) The probability that all of the next three vehicles inspected pass is 0.343

b) The probability that at least one of the next three inspected fails is 0.657

c) The probability that exactly one of the next three vehicles inspected passes is 0.189

d) The probability of at most one of the next three vehicles inspected passes is 0.216

e) The probability that they all pass given that at least one of the next three vehicle pass is 0.343

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial distribution problem.

Probability of success which is passing (p) = 70% = \frac{7}{10}

Probability of failing (q) = 1 - p = 1 - \frac{7}{10}  = \frac{3}{10}

Based on the options,  number of trial (n) = 3

The formula for binomial distribution problem is given as:

P(X=x) = (nCx) p^{x} q^{n-x}

nCx means n combination x

a) P(all of the next three vehicles inspected pass)

P(X=x) = (nCx) p^{x} q^{n-x}\\P(X=3) = (3C3) 0.7^{3} 0.3^{3-3}\\P(X=3) = (\frac{3!}{3!(3-3)!} ) 0.7^{3} 0.3^{3-3}\\P(X=3) = (\frac{3!}{3!0!} ) 0.7^{3} 0.3^{0}\\P(X=3) = 1 * 0.7^{3}  * 1\\P(X=3) = 1 * 0.7^{3}  * 1\\P(X=3) = 1 * 0.343 * 1\\P(X=3) = 0.343

b) P(at least one of the next three inspected fails)

Probability that at least one of the vehicle means that more that not less than one vehicle fail. So it could be one fail, two fail or three fail which means probability of exactly two pass or less than two pass.

P(X=x) = (nCx) p^{x} q^{n-x}\\P(X\leq 2) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2)\\But P(X=1) = 0.189 \\P(X=0) = 0.027\\P(X=2) = 0.441\\P(X\leq 2) = 0.027 + 0.189 + 0.441\\P(X\leq 2) = 0.657

(c) P(exactly one of the next three inspected passes)

P(X=x) = (nCx) p^{x} q^{n-x}\\P(X=1) = (3C1) 0.7^{1} 0.3^{3-1}\\P(X=1) = (\frac{3!}{1!(3-1)!} ) 0.7^{1} 0.3^{3-1}\\P(X=1) = (\frac{3!}{1!2!} ) 0.7^{1} 0.3^{2}\\P(X=1) = (\frac{6}{1*2} ) 0.7^{1} 0.3^{2}\\P(X=1) = (\frac{6}{2} ) 0.7^{1} 0.3^{2}\\P(X=1) = 3* 0.7^{1} 0.3^{2}\\P(X=1) = 3 * 0.7 * 0.09\\P(X=1) = 0.189

(d) P(at most one of the next three vehicles inspected passes)

At most one means not more than one vehicles pass, that is number of vehicles less than 1

P(X=x) = (nCx) p^{x} q^{n-x}\\P(X\leq 1) = P(X=0) + P(X=1)\\But P(X=1) = 0.189 \\P(X=0) = (3C0) 0.7^{0} 0.3^{3-0}\\P(X=0) = (\frac{3!}{0!(3-0)!} ) 0.7^{0} 0.3^{3-0}\\P(X=0) = (\frac{3!}{0!3!} ) 0.7^{0} 0.3^{3}\\P(X=0) = (\frac{6}{6} ) 0.7^{0} 0.3^{3}\\P(X=0) = 1 * 0.7^{0} 0.3^{3}\\P(X=0) = 1 * 1 * 0.027\\P(X=0) = 0.027\\\\P(X\leq 1) = P(X=0) + P(X=1)\\But P(X=1) = 0.189\\P(X=0) = 0.027\\P(X\leq 1) = 0.027 + 0.189\\P(X\leq 1) = 0.216

(e) Given that at least one of the next three vehicles passes inspection, what is the probability that all three pass (a conditional probability)?

Formula for conditional probability is given as:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A n B)}{P(A)}

where

B is the probability that they all passes

A is the given probability that at least one of the next three vehicle passes

We need to find the probability for A.

P(X=x) = (nCx) p^{x} q^{n-x}\\P(X\geq 1) = P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X =3)\\But\\P(X=1) = 0.441\\P(X=3) = 0.343\\P(X=2) = ?\\P(X=2) = (\frac{3!}{2!(3-2)!} ) 0.7^{2} 0.3^{3-2}\\P(X=2) = (\frac{3!}{2!1!} ) 0.7^{2} 0.3^{1}\\P(X=2) = (\frac{6}{2*1} ) 0.7^{2} 0.3^{1}\\P(X=2) = (\frac{6}{2} ) 0.7^{2} 0.3^{1}\\P(X=2) = 3 * 0.49 * 0.3\\P(X=2) = 0.441\\P(X\geq 1) = P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X =3)\\P(X\geq 1) = 0.189 + 0.441 + 0.343\\P(X\geq 1) =0.973

Probability that they all pass = 0.343

Probability that at least one pass = 0.973

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A n B)}{P(A)}\\P(B|A) = \frac{0.343 * 0.973}{0.973} \\P(B|A) = \frac{0.333739}{0.973} \\P(B|A) = 0.343

Answer:

(a) 0.343

(b) 0.657

(c) 0.189

(d) 0.216

(e) 0.353

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(a vehicle passing the test) = p

                        p = \frac{70}{100} = 0.7  

Let P(a vehicle not passing the test) = q

                         q = 1 - p

                         q = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

(a) P(all of the next three vehicles inspected pass) = P(ppp)

                           = 0.7 × 0.7 × 0.7

                           = 0.343

(b) P(at least one of the next three inspected fails) = P(qpp or qqp or pqp or pqq or ppq or qpq or qqq)

      = (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.7) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.7) + (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.7) + (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.3) + (0.7 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.3)

      = 0.147 + 0.063 + 0.147 + 0.063 + 0.147 + 0.063 + 0.027

      = 0.657

(c) P(exactly one of the next three inspected passes) = P(pqq or qpq or qqp)

                 =  (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.7)

                 = 0.063 + 0.063 + 0.063

                 = 0.189

(d) P(at most one of the next three vehicles inspected passes) = P(pqq or qpq or qqp or qqq)

                 =  (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.7) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.3)

                 = 0.063 + 0.063 + 0.063 + 0.027

                 = 0.216

(e) Given that at least one of the next 3 vehicles passes inspection, what is the probability that all 3 pass (a conditional probability)?

P(at least one of the next three vehicles inspected passes) = P(ppp or ppq or pqp or qpp or pqq or qpq or qqp)

=  (0.7 × 0.7 × 0.7) + (0.7 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.7) + (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.7) + (0.7 × 0.3 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.7 × 0.3) + (0.3 × 0.3 × 0.7)

= 0.343 + 0.147 + 0.147 + 0.147 + 0.063 + 0.063 + 0.063

                  = 0.973  

With the condition that at least one of the next 3 vehicles passes inspection, the probability that all 3 pass is,

                         = \frac{P(all\ of\ the\ next\ three\ vehicles\ inspected\ pass)}{P(at\ least\ one\ of\ the\ next\ three\ vehicles\ inspected\ passes)}

                         = \frac{0.343}{0.973}

                         = 0.353

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

$3.25 per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

She had $30 and now has $4, so she spent $30- $4 = $26

With $24 she bought 8 gallons of gas.  

$26/(8 gallons) = $3.25/(1 gallon)      [ divide 26 by 8 to get the unit rate]

She spent $3.25 per gallon

What is the area of the regular polygon?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

You could use the polygon area formula OR here's an easier solution

We draw the lines DC and DE

Angle ADC = 120°

Triangle ADC is a 30 60 90 triangle

In such a triangle Line AE = hypotenuse * sq root (3) /2

Line AE = 3 * 0.8660254038  = 2.5980762114

Line DE = 1.5

Area of Triangle ADE = .5 * 1.5 * 2.5980762114 =

1.9485571586   square meters and entire area of Triangle

ABC = 6 * 1.9485571586

which equals 11.6913429513  square meters
