Answer:

The probability that in a given day the store receives four or less bad checks is 0.70.

The probability that in a given day the store receives more than 3 bad checks is 0.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided shows the number of bad checks received by the management of a grocery store for a period of 200 days.

The probability distribution and the cumulative probability distribution are shown in the table attached below.

Let the number of bad checks received in a day be represented by <em>X</em>.

Compute the probability that in a given day the store receives four or less bad checks as follows:

P (X ≤ 4) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 3) + P (X = 4)

              =0.04+0.06+0.10+0.30+0.20\\\\=0.70

Thus, the probability that in a given day the store receives four or less bad checks is 0.70.

Compute the probability that in a given day the store receives more than 3 bad checks as follows:

P (X > 3) = 1 - P (X ≤ 3)

              = 1 - [P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 3)]

              =1-[0.04+0.06+0.10+0.30]\\=1-0.50\\=0.50

Thus, the probability that in a given day the store receives more than 3 bad checks is 0.50.

What is the difference between 3/7 and 1/14?
Elena-2011 [213]
C. 5/15
First, change 3/7 to have the same denominator as 1/14.
3/7=6/14 because 7•2=14 (denominator) 3•2=6 (numerator)
Next, subtract 1/14 from 6/14.
6/14-1/14=5/14

Suppose y varies directly with x. Write a direct variation equation that relates x and y. Then find the value of y when x = 7.
Sonja [21]
For direct variation, y = kx
8 = -4k
k = 8/-4 = -2

Therefore, required equation is y = -2x

when x = 7, y = -2(7) = -14

Select the correct choice that completes the sentence below.
vodomira [7]

\sf \red⇛ \green {3a + 1 = 16}

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign to minus sign since it is in plus

\sf \red⇛ \green{3a = 16 - 1}

Subtract the numbers

\sf\red ⇛ \green{3a = 15}

Divide both sides of equation by 3

\sf \red⇛ \green{a = 5}
