Every evening, two weather stations issue weather forecast for the next day. The weather forecasts are independent. On average,

the weather forecast of station 1 is correct 90% of the cases, irrespective of weather type. This percentage is 80% for station 2. Suppose that, without any forecast, the belief is that the next day rains or has sunny weather each with a 50% chance. On a given day, station 1 predicts sunny weather for the next day, whereas station 2 predicts rain. What is the probability that the weather forecast of station 1 will be correct?

Answer:

The probability is 0.6923

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call R the event that the next day rains, S the event that the next day has sunny weather, R2 the event that the station 2 predicts rain and S1 the event that station 1 predict sunny weather.

The probability that the next day has sunny weather given that station 1 predicts sunny weather for the next day and station 2 predicts rain is calculated as:

P(S/S1∩R2) = P(S∩S1∩R2)/P(S1∩R2)

Where P(S1∩R2) = P(R∩S1∩R2) + P(S∩S1∩R2)

So, the probability P(R∩S1∩R2) that the next day rains, Station 1 predicts sunny weather and Station 2 predicts Rain is calculate as:

P(R∩S1∩R2) = 0.5 * 0.1 * 0.8 = 0.04

Because 0.5 is the probability that the next day rains, 0.1 is the probability that station 1 predicts sunny weather given that it is going to rain and 0.8 is the probability that station 2 predicts rain given that it is going to rain.

At the same way, the probability P(S∩S1∩R2) that the next day has sunny weather, Station 1 predicts sunny weather and Station 2 predicts Rain is calculate as:

P(S∩S1∩R2) = 0.5 * 0.9 * 0.2 = 0.09

Then, the probability P(S1∩R2) that station 1 predicts sunny weather for the next day, whereas station 2 predicts rain is:

P(S1∩R2) = 0.04 + 0.09 = 0.13

Finally, P(S/S1∩R2) is:

P(S/S1∩R2) = 0.09/0.13 = 0.6923

Given triangle ABC with sides AB = 3x + 4 , BC = 2x + 5 , and AC = 4x , determine the values of x such that triangle ABC exists
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

  x > 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

All of these three triangle inequalities must be satisfied:

  AB +BC > AC

  BC +CA > BA

  CA +AB > CB

___

Taking these one at a time, we have ...

  AB +BC > AC

  3x +4 + 2x +5 > 4x

  x +9 > 0 . . . . . subtract 4x

  x > -9

__

  BC +CA > BA

  2x +5 + 4x > 3x +4

  3x > -1 . . . . . . subtract 3x+5

  x > -1/3 . . . . . divide by 3

__

  CA + AB > CB

  4x + 3x +4 > 2x +5

  5x > 1 . . . . . . subtract 2x+4

  x > 1/5

___

The only values of x that satisfy all of these inequalities are those such that ...

  x > 1/5

Keegan is printing and selling his original design on t-shirts. He has concluded that for x shirts, in thousands sold his total
Katarina [22]

Answer:

t-shirts: 2790

profit: $12209

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  the function:

p(x) = -x³ + 4x² + x

we want to maximize it.

The following criteria must be satisfied at the maximum:

dp/dx = 0

d²p/dx² < 0

dp/dx = -3x² + 8x + 1 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}

x = \frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{8^2 -4(-3)(1)}}{2(-3)}

x = \frac{-8 \pm 8.72}{-6}

x_1 = \frac{-8 + 8.72}{-6}

x_1 = -0.12

x_2 = \frac{-8 - 8.72}{-6}

x_2 = 2.79

d²p/dx² = -6x + 8

d²p/dx² at x = -0.12: -6(-0.12) + 8 = 8.72 > 0

d²p/dx² at x = 2.79: -6(2.79) + 8 = -8.74 < 0

Then, he should prints 2.79 thousands, that is, 2790 t-shirts to make maximum profits.

Replacing into profit equation:

p(x) = -(2.79)³ + 4(2.79)² + 2.79 =  12.209

that is, $12209
