Police plan to enforce speed limits by using radar traps at four different​ locations, Upper L 1L1​, Upper L 2L2​, Upper L 3L3​,

and Upper L 4L4. The radar traps will be operated 4040​%, 3030​%, 2020​%, and 3030​% of the​ time, respectively. If a person who is speeding on her way to work has probabilities of 0.30.3​, 0.20.2​, 0.40.4​, and 0.10.1​, ​respectively, of passing through these​ locations, what is the probability that she will receive a speeding​ ticket?

Answer:

This person have a 29 % probability to receive a speeding​ ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of receive a speeding​ ticket in one of the traps is equal to the probability of going through that trap during the operation time of the trap.

Like we have four traps, and the probabilities are independent,  then the probability of receive a speed ticket in one of them, is the sum of the probability for each trap.

P=P1+P2+P3+P4

The probability of going through a trap during the operation time is obtained by multiplying the probability of passing through the​ trap by the frequency of operation

Frequency of operation:

TL1 ⇒ 40 % = 0.4

TL2 ⇒ 30 % = 0.3

TL3 ⇒ 20 % = 0.2

TL4 ⇒ 30 % = 0.3

Probability of passing through these​ locations

PL1 ⇒ 0.3

PL2 ⇒ 0.2

PL3 ⇒ 0.4

PL4 ⇒ 0.1

then,

P1= TL1*PL1

P2= TL2*PL2

P3= TL3*PL3

P4= TL4*PL4

and

P = TL1*PL1 + TL2*PL2 + TL3*PL3 + TL4*PL4 = 0.12 + 0.06 + 0.08 + 0.03 = 0.29 = 29 %

This person have a 29 % probability to receive a speeding​ ticket

Suppose y varies directly with x. If y = –20 when x = 2, find y when x = 14
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

y = -140

Step-by-step explanation:

Y varies directly with x

y = kx

We know y = -20 when x =2, we can solve for k

-20 = k*2

Divide each side by 2

-20/2= 2k/2

-10 =k

y = -10x

Now we want to find y when x = 14

y = -10 *14

y = -140

What is the slope of the line through (-2,3) and (1,1)?
son4ous [18]
The slope of the line is -2/3.

This is found by using the equation y2 - y1/x2 - x1. Filling in for each factor, you would have 1-3/1+2 (since subtracting a negative makes it positive). This will give you a final answer of -2/3.

Here is a graph of the full equation of the line.

I hope this helps!

A recent survey estimated that 19 percent of all people living in a certain region regularly use sunscreen when going outdoors.
serg [7]

The correct option is: (E) It is plausible that the percent of all people living in the region who regularly use sunscreen is 18.5%.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error that occurred due to miscalculation and survey results. The margin error is usually a small amount of error.

Generally 5% of margin of error is common and acceptable. When the percentage of the margin of error increases, the confidence in the report result will be reduced.

The recent survey reveals that 19% of the people living in a certain region regularly use sunscreen when going outdoors. The permissible margin of error in this survey is 1%.

Probably the percentage of people using sunscreen in the particular region will be <u>18.5%. </u>
