of thieves. If her ship hasn't already been hit, Captain Jessica has probability \dfrac{2}{5} 5 2 ​ start fraction, 2, divided by, 5, end fraction of hitting the pirate ship. If her ship has been hit, Captain Jessica will always miss. If his ship hasn't already been hit, dread pirate Ishaan has probability \dfrac{3}{8} 8 3 ​ start fraction, 3, divided by, 8, end fraction of hitting the Captain's ship. If his ship has been hit, dread pirate Ishaan will always miss.

Answer:

9/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Captain Jessica shoots first.  This means her ship has not already been hit, which means she has a 2/5 chance of hitting the pirate ship.  This also means she has a 1-2/5 = 3/5 chance of missing the pirate ship.

Since Captain Jessica misses, dread pirate Ishaan has a 3/8 chance of hitting the captain's ship.  This means he has a

3/5(3/8) = 9/40 chance of the captain missing the pirate and the pirate hitting the captain.

svetoff [14.1K]

a. What percent of people earn less than $40000?

Solution: Let S be the random variable of a salary of employee (in $), S ~ N(50000,20000). Then the random

variable X =−50000

20000

~N(0,1).

( < 40000) = ( <

40000 − 50000

20000 ) = ( < −0.5) = (−0.5) = 0.3085375.

Here Φ(x) denotes the cumulative distribution function of a standard normal distribution.

Answer: 31%.

b. What percent of people earn between $45000 and $65000?

Solution:

(45000 < < 65000) = (

45000 − 50000

20000 < <

65000 − 50000

20000 ) = (−0.25 < < 0.75)

= (0.75) − (−0.25) = 0.7733726 − 0.4012937 = 0.3720789.

Answer: 37%.

c. What percent of people earn more than $70000?

Solution:

( > 70000) = ( >

70000 − 50000

20000 ) = ( > 1) = 0.8413447.

Answer: 84%.
