According to national data, 5.1% of burglaries are cleared with arrests. A new detective is assigned to six different burglaries

blagie [28]

Answer:

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

Step-by-step explanation:

For each burglary, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is cleared, or it is not. The probability of a burglary being cleared is independent of other burglaries. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

5.1% of burglaries are cleared with arrests.

This means that $p = 0.051$

A new detective is assigned to six different burglaries.

This means that $n = 6$

What is the probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest?

Either none are cleared, or at least one is. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 100% = 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 1)$

Then

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.051)^{0}.(0.949)^{6} = 0.7305$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.7305 = 0.2695$

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

Whats the answer to that question?

gavmur [86]

Answer:

-0.9090... can be written as $\frac{10}{11}$ .

Explanation:

Any repeating decimal can be written as a fraction by dividing the section of the pattern to be repeated by 9's.

We can start by listing out

0.909090... = 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + 9/100000 + 0/1000000 + ...

Now. we let this series be equal to x, that is

$x$ = 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + 9/100000 + 0/1000000 + ...

Now, we'll multiply both sides by 100 .

$100x$ = 90 + 0 + 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + ...

Then, subtract the 1st equation from the second like so:

$100x$ = 90 + 0 + 9/10 + 0/100 + 9/1000 + 0/10000 + 9/100000 + 0/1000000 + ...

$-x$ = - 9/10 - 0/100 - 9/1000 - 0/10000 - 9/100000 - 0/1000000 - ...

And we end up with this:

$99x=90$

Finally, we divide both sides by 99 in order to isolate x and get the fraction we're looking for.

$x=\frac{90}{99}$

Which can be reduced and simplified to

$x=\frac{10}{11}$

Hope this helps!

Use the Triangle Inequality Property to determine whether a triangle can be formed with the given side lengths. 4 m, 8 m, 9 m *

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Therefore a triangle can be formed with side lengths of 4 m, 8 m, 9 m

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. There are different types of triangles such as scalene, isosceles, equilateral and so on.

The triangle inequality property states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. If a, b and c are the sides of a triangle then:

a + b > c; a + c > b; b + c > a

Given a triangle with side length 4 m, 8 m, 9 m:

4m + 8m = 12m > 9m

4m + 9m = 13m > 8m

8m + 9m = 17m > 4m

Therefore a triangle can be formed with side lengths of 4 m, 8 m, 9 m.
