Suppose the average yearly salary of an individual whose final degree is a master's is $41 thousand less than twice that of an

individual whose final degree is a bachelor's. Combined, two people with each of these educational attainments earn $115 thousand. Find the average yearly salary of an individual with each of these final degrees.

Answer:

The average salary of master's degree people is $ 63,000 And

The average salary of bachelor's degree people is $ 52,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in question as :

Let the average salary of master's degree people = $ M And

Let the average salary of bachelor's degree people = $ B

According to question ,

The average salary of master's degree people + The average salary of bachelor's degree people = $115,000

Or , $ M + $ B = $ 115,000 ............. A

Again ,

$ M = 2 × $ B - $ 41,000 ............... B

From eq A and eq B

(2 × $ B - $ 41,000 ) + ( $ B ) = $ 115,000

Or, 3×$ B = 156,000

∴ B = $\frac{156,000}{3}$ = $ 52,000

And M = $ 115,000 - $ 52,000

∴ M = $ 63,000

Hence The average salary of master's degree people is $ 63,000 And

The average salary of bachelor's degree people is $ 52,000 Answer

Alice searches for her term paper in her filing cabinet, which has several drawers. She knows thatshe left her term paper in dra

katen-ka-za [31]

You made a mistake with the probability $p_{j}$ , which should be $p_{i}$ in the last expression, so to be clear I will state the expression again.

So we want to solve the following:

Conditioned on this event, show that the probability that her paper is in drawer $j$ , is given by:

(1) $\frac{p_{j} }{1-d_{i}p_{i} } , if j \neq i,$ and

(2) $\frac{p_{i} (1-d_{i} )}{1-d_{i}p_{i} } , if j = i.$

so we can say:

$A$ is the event that you search drawer $i$ and find nothing,

$B$ is the event that you search drawer $i$ and find the paper,

$C_{k}$ is the event that the paper is in drawer $k, k = 1, ..., n.$

this gives us:

$P(B) = P(B \cap C_{i} ) = P(C_{i})P(B | C_{i} ) = d_{i} p_{i}$

$P(A) = 1 - P(B) = 1 - d_{i} p_{i}$

Solution to Part (1):

if $j \neq i$ , then $P(A \cap C_{j} ) = P(C_{j} )$ ,

this means that

$P(C_{j} |A) = \frac{P(A \cap C_{j})}{P(A)} = \frac{P(C_{j} )}{P(A)} = \frac{p_{j} }{1-d_{i}p_{i} }$

as needed so part one is solved.

Solution to Part(2):

so we have now that if $j$ = $i$ , we get that:

$P(C_{j}|A ) = \frac{P(A \cap C_{j})}{P(A)}$

remember that:

$P(A|C_{j} ) = \frac{P(A \cap C_{j})}{P(C_{j})}$

this implies that:

$P(A \cap C_{j}) = P(C_{j}) \cdot P(A|C_{j}) = p_{i} (1-d_{i} )$

so we just need to combine the above relations to get:

$P(C_{j}|A) = \frac{p_{i} (1-d_{i} )}{1-d_{i}p_{i} }$

as needed so part two is solved.

What are the solutions of x2 +6x-6= 10?

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

the answer is X=-8 or X= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 10 from both sides in order to eliminate 10.

x^2 + 6x -16

find two factors of -16 that sum up to 6.

-2 and 8 are two factors of -16 that sum up to 6.

(x-2)(x+8)

x-2= 0, x= 2

x+8= 0, x = -8

Exercise 12.1.2: The probability of an event under the uniform distribution - random permutations. About A class with n kids lin

Nataly [62]

Answer:

a) $P_a=\frac{1}{n}$

b) $P_b=\frac{1}{n(1-n)}$

c) $P_c=\frac{2}{n}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete:

<em>(a) What is the probability that Celia is first in line? (b) What is the probability that Celia is first in line and Felicity is last in line? (c) What is the probability that Celia and Felicity are next to each other in the line?</em>

a) The probability that Celia is first in line, if there are n kids and all of them have the same chance, is 1/n.

$P_a=\frac{1}{n}$

b) The probability that Celia is first in line and Felicity is last in line is

$P_b=\frac{1}{n} \frac{1}{n-1} =\frac{1}{n(1-n)}$ .

It is deducted like that:

If Celia is placed in the first line (what has a probablity of 1/n), there are left (n-1) kids. Then, the probability of placing Felicity in the last place is 1/(n-1).

Both probabilities multiplied give 1/(n*(n-1)).

c) The probability that Celia and Felicity are next to each other in the line is

$P_c=\frac{2(n-1)!}{n!}=\frac{2}{n}$

There are n! combinations for kids lines, where (n-1)! permutations have Celia before Felicity and other (n-1)! permutations have Felicity before Celia.

Then, we have 2(n-1)! permutations that have Celia and Felicity next to each other, over n! permutations possible.
