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

Occasionally an airline will lose a bag. Suppose a small airline has found it can reasonably model the number of bags lost each
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a) The probability that the airline will lose no bags next monday is 0.1108

b) The probability that the airline will lose 0,1, or 2 bags next Monday is 0.6227

c) I would recommend taking a Poisson model with mean 4.4 instead of a Poisson model with mean 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability mass function of X, for which we denote the amount of bags lost next monday is given by this formula

P(X=k) = \frac{e^{-2.2} * {2.2}^k }{k!}

a)

P(X=0) = \frac{e^{-2.2} * {2.2}^0 }{0!} = 0.1108

The probability that the airline will lose no bags next monday is 0.1108.

b) Note that P(X \in \{0,1,2\} = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) . And

P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2) = e^{-2.2} * (1 + 2.2 + 2.2^2/2) = 0.6227

Therefore, the probability that the airline will lose 0,1, or 2 bags next Monday is 0.6227.

c) If the double of flights are taken, then you at least should expect to loose a similar proportion in bags, because you will have more chances for a bag to be lost. WIth this in mind, we can correctly think that the average amount of bags that will be lost each day will double. Thus, i would double the mean of the Poisson model, in other words, i would take a Poisson model with mean 4.4, instead of 2.2.

What are the real zeros of the function g(x) = x3 + 2x2 − x − 2?
Nat2105 [25]
Upon a slight rearrangement this problem gets a lot simpler to see.

x^3-x+2x^2-2=0  now factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms...

x(x^2-1)+2(x^2-1)=0

(x+2)(x^2-1)=0  now the second factor is a "difference of square" of the form:

(a^2-b^2) which always factors to (a+b)(a-b), in this case:

(x+2)(x+1)(x-1)=0

So g(x) has three real zero when x={-2, -1, 1}

Which statement about this equation is true?
Viktor [21]
The equation has no solution because:

5(n+10)=5n+10n
5n+10n=5n+10n
I subtract 5n from both sides
10n=10n
Only one side is supposed to have the variable which is n, so the equation has no solution.
