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

A rectangle has a perimeter of 204 feet. It's length is six feet longer than twice it's width. If L stands for the length of the

Ratling [72]

Answer:

L = 70

W = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2L + 2W

P 204 feet

W = x

L = 2x + 6

P = 2L + 2W

P = 2*(2x + 6) + 2*x

P = 4x + 12 + 2x

P = 6x + 12

But we know that P = 204 So 6x + 12 = 204

6x + 12 = 204 Subtract 12 from both sides

6x + 12 - 12 = 204 - 12 Collect like terms on the right

6x = 192 Divide by 6

x = 192/6

x = 32

Answer

W = 32

L = 2*W + 6

L = 2*32 + 6

L = 64 + 6

L = 70

Suppose you choose a marble from a bag containing 3 red marbles, 5 white marbles, and 4 blue marbles. You return the first marbl

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

P(red and blue) = 0.1667

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent choosing a red marble, there are 3 red marbles

Let B represent choosing a blue marble, there are 4 blue marbles

There are 12 total marbles

Then...

P(A) = 3/12

P(B) = 4/12

choosing the first one, then replacing means the first choice has no effect on the probabilities of the second choice, so the situation is independent.

When calculating the probability of independent events, you multiply the probabilities together. There are 2 scenarios where we can get a red and blue marble..

Choosing a red, then a blue marble, the probability is

(3/12)( 4/12) = 12/144 = 1/12

Choosing a blue, then a red marble, the probability is

(4/12)(3/12) = 12/144 = 1/12

So we have a

(1/12) + (1/12) = 2/12 = 1/6 chance for that to happen, to

P(A and B) = 1/6 = 0.1667

A sample of size 6 will be drawn from a normal population with mean 61 and standard deviation 14. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

$X \sim N(61,14)$

Where $\mu=61$ and $\sigma=14$

Since the distribution for X is normal then the distribution for the sample mean is also normal and given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

$\mu_{\bar X} = 61$

$\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{14}{\sqrt{6}}= 5.715$

So then is appropiate use the normal distribution to find the probabilities for $\bar X$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean". The letter $\phi(b)$ is used to denote the cumulative area for a b quantile on the normal standard distribution, or in other words: $\phi(b)=P(z$

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(61,14)$

Where $\mu=61$ and $\sigma=14$

Since the distribution for X is normal then the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is also normal and given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

$\mu_{\bar X} = 61$

$\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{14}{\sqrt{6}}= 5.715$

So then is appropiate use the normal distribution to find the probabilities for $\bar X$
