A homeowner has two smoke detector alarms installed, one in the dining room (adjacent to the kitchen) and one in an upstairs bed

room (above the kitchen). If cooking produces smoke in the kitchen, the probability of setting off the dining room alarm (D) is .95. The probability of setting off the bedroom alarm (B) is .40. The two alarms detect smoke independently of each other. If there is smoke in the kitchen, what is the probability that the smoke will be detected and will set off an alarm

Answer:

0.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a homeowner has two smoke detector alarms installed, one in the dining room (adjacent to the kitchen) and one in an upstairs bedroom (above the kitchen). If cooking produces smoke in the kitchen, the probability of setting off the dining room alarm (D) is .95. The probability of setting off the bedroom alarm (B) is .40.

Both alarms are independent of each other.

Probability for smoke detection=P(any one alarm rings)

=P(Kitchen alarm sets off)+P(bed room alarm sets off)-P(Both sets off)

Since both are independent

P(Both) = 0.95*0.40\\=0.38

Probability for smoke detection

= 0.95+0.40-0.38

=0.97

Set each piece = to 56, assuming that the 2 variables for which you are not solving are each equal to 0.

7x -2(0)-14(0) = 56
7x=56 (divide each side by 7)
X = ?
(__, 0, 0)

7(0) - 2y - 14 (0) = 56
-2y = 56 (divide each side by -2)
Y= ?
(0, __ , 0)

7(0) - 2(0) - 14z = 56
-14z = 56 (divide each side by -14)
z = ?
(0, 0, __)

Place these numbers on the number line. 1/4, 2/3, 3/4, 6/8
Lelu [443]
The best way to put them into a number line is to make sure that they've all got the same denominator, which in this case, will be 24, as this is the lowest common multiple of 3,4 and 8. You will then need to multiply these fractions accordingly. The first one (1/4) will need to be multiplied by 6 to get a denominator of 24, so this will then give you a result of 6/24. The second one (2/3), will need to be multiplied by 8, which will then give you a result of 16/24. The third one (3/4)will also need to be multiplied by 6, giving you 18/24. The final one (6/8) will need to be multiplied by 3, giving you 18/24. You will then need to put these in order, which will be- 1/4, 2/3, 3/4, and 6/8. The alternative method is to turn these into decimals- 1/4 is equivalent to 25%, which is equal to 0.25. 2/3 is equivalent to 66.66%, which is equivalent to 0.66. 3/4 is equivalent to 75%, which is equal to 0.75. 6/8 is also equivalent to 75%, which is equal to 0.75, you can then easily line them up this way. Hope this has been able to help you

Solve |2x - 2| < 8
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x - 2| < 8

it implies that

2x - 2 < 8

2x -2 + 2 < 8 + 2

2x < 10

x < 5

or

-(2x - 2) < 8

-2x + 2 < 8

-2x + 2 - 2 < 8 - 2

- 2x < 6

x > -3 ( the sense of the inequality reverse because I divided by minus)

The solution can be combine to

-3<x<5

2) A government agency produced a study in which they randomly chose 100 students just beginning college to determine what perce
just olya [345]
The answer is B. some of the sample data are missing.

This is because out of the 100 students originally sampled by the government agency, only 88 results were taken. 

Additionally, we cannot fully take A. as the answer because a non-response error happens when sampling units are not interviewed maybe because they were unavailable or unwilling. So B. is the safer answer.
