Software to detect fraud in consumer phone cards tracks the number of metropolitan areas where calls originate each day. It is f

ound that 3% of the legitimate users originate calls from two or more metropolitan areas in a single day. However, 30% of fraudulent users originate calls from two or more metropolitan areas in a single day. The proportion of fraudulent users is 0.0131%. If the same user originates calls from two or more metropolitan areas in a single day, what is the probability that the user is fraudulent? Round your answer to six decimal places (e.g. 98.765432).

Answer:

0.999987

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The user is a legitimate one = E₁

The user is a fraudulent one = E₂

The same user originates calls from two metropolitan areas  = A

Use Bay's Theorem to solve the problem

P(E₁) = 0.0131% = 0.000131

P(E₂) = 1 - P(E₁)  = 0.999869

P(A/E₁) = 3%  = 0.03

P(A/E₂) = 30% = 0.3

Given a randomly chosen user originates calls from two or more metropolitan, The probability that the user is fraudulent user is :

P(E_2/A)=\frac{P(E_2)\times P(A/E_2)}{P(E_1)\times P(A/E_1)+P(E_2)\times P(A/E_2)}

=\frac{(0.999869)(0.3)}{(0.000131)(0.03)+(0.999869)(0.3)}

\frac{0.2999607}{0.00000393+0.2999607}

\frac{0.2999607}{0.29996463}

= 0.999986898 ≈ 0.999987

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to y = 3x+6 and passes through the point (-10, 2.5)
TiliK225 [7]

1) Line should be parallel to y = 3x+6, so slope of this line should be =3.

y=mx +b

y=3x +b

Now we have to find b (y-intercept), using the point (-10, 2.5).

2.5 = 3*(-10)+b

b=2.5+30=32.5

y=3x + 32.5

2) The line should be perpendicular to y = -4x -2, so its slope is going to be negative reciprocal m= 1/4.

Now we have to find b (y-intercept), using the point (-16, -11).

y=(1/4)x +b

-11=(1/4)*(-16) + b

-11 = -4 +b

b = -7

y=(1/4)x - 7

What is the radius of a sphere if its surface area is 2,122.64 square inches? (Use 3.14 for .)
Lady_Fox [76]
\bf \textit{surface area of a sphere}\\\\
SA=4\pi r^2~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
------\\
SA=2122.64
\end{cases}\implies 2122.64=4\pi r^2
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2122.64}{4\pi }=r^2\implies \cfrac{530.66}{\pi }=r^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{530.66}{\pi }}=r

A train travels 110 km in the same time that a plane covers 385 km. If the speed of the plane is 20 km per hr less than 4 times
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

  • train: 40 kph
  • plane: 140 kph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the speed of the train in km/h. Then 4t-20 is the speed of the plane. Travel times are the same, so we can use the formula ...

  time = distance/speed

and equate the travel times.

  110/t = 385/(4t-20)

Cross multiplying gives ...

  110(4t -20) = 385t

  440t -2200 = 385t . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  55t -2200 = 0 . . . . . . . . . subtract 385t

  t -40 = 0 . . . . . . . . . divide by 55

  t = 40 . . . . . . . . . . . add 40; train's speed is 40 kph

  4t -20 = 140 . . . . . . find plane's speed; 140 kph

The train's speed is 40 km/h; the plane's speed is 140 km/h.

_____

<em>Check</em>

Train's travel time = 110 km/(40 km/h) = 2.75 h.

Plane's travel time = 385 km/(140 km/h) = 2.75 h.
