A customer visiting the suit department of a certain store will purchase a suit with probability 0.22, a shirt with probability

0.30, and a tile with probability 0.28. The customer will purchase both a suit and a shirt with probability 0.11, both a suit and a tie with probability 0.14, and both a shirt and a tie with probability 0.10. A customer will purchase all 3 items with probability 0.06. What’s the probability that a customer purchase: (a) none of these items? (b) exactly 1 of these items?

Answer:

a. The probability that a customer purchase none of these items is 0.49

b. The probability that a customer purchase exactly 1 of these items would be of 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

a. In order to calculate the probability that a customer purchase none of these items we would have to make the following:

let A represents suit

B represents shirt

C represents tie

P(A) = 0.22

P(B) = 0.30

P(C) = 0.28

P(A∩B) = 0.11

P(C∩B) = 0.10

P(A∩C) = 0.14

P(A∩B∩C) = 0.06

Therefore, the probability that a customer purchase none of these items we would have to calculate the following:

1 - P(A∪B∪C)

P(A∪B∪C) =P(A) + P(B) + P(C) − P(A ∩ B) − P(A ∩ C) − P(B ∩ C) + P(A ∩ B ∩ C)

= 0.22+0.28+0.30-0.11-0.10-0.14+0.06

= 0.51

Hence, 1 - P(A∪B∪C) = 1-0.51 = 0.49

The probability that a customer purchase none of these items is 0.49

b.To calculate the probability that a customer purchase exactly 1 of these items we would have to make the following calculation:

= P(A∪B∪C) - ( P(A∩B) +P(C∩B) +P(A∩C) - 2  P(A ∩ B ∩ C))

=0.51 -0.23 = 0.28

The probability that a customer purchase exactly 1 of these items would be of 0.28

On a map, the distance between two towns is 2.5 inches, and 1 inch represents 6 miles.
MAXImum [283]
So it's 2.5 inches, so it would be 15 miles, because 6+6+3=15.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

ranus is a large planet with a volume of 6.833 x 1013 cubic kilometers. You could fit a little more than 63 Earths inside of Uranus, but like the other gas giants, it is not very dense. Comprised mostly of gas, the planet is only about 14.5 times more massive than Earth is.

Consider a paint-drying situation in which drying time for a test specimen is normally distributed with s = 6. The hypotheses H0
adell [148]

Answer:

There is no statistical evidence to support the claim that the mean is elss than 74.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that  a paint-drying situation in which drying time for a test specimen is normally distributed with s = 6.

The hypotheses H0: µ = 74 and Ha: µ < 74

are to be tested using a random sample of n = 25 observations

a) Z = \frac{72.3-74}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{25} } } \\=-1.417

ie. -1.417 std deviations to the left of mean.

b) p value = 0.078241

Since p > 0.01 , our alpha, accept H0

There is no statistical evidence to support the claim that the mean is elss than 74.

A sports drink recipe calls for 5/3 tablespoons of powered drink mix for every 12 ounces of water how many batches can you make
maw [93]

3 batches can be made with 5 tablespoons of drink mix and 36 ounces of water

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

We have been given that a sports drink recipe calls for 5/3 tablespoons of powered drink mix for every 12 ounces of water.

We need to find out how many batches can be made with 5 tablespoons of drink mix and 36 ounces of water.

So, from the given information we see that to make 1 batch of sports drink we need 5/3 tablespoons of powdered drink mix for every 12 ounces of water.

So, we have 36 ounces of water. But we know that for 1 batch of sports drink we need to 12 ounces. So with 36 ounces of water we can make

=\frac{36}{12}

= 3 batches

Therefore, we can make 3 batches of sports drink from 5 tablespoons of powdered drink mix and 36 ounces of water.
