Answer:

a) 0.778

b) 0.9222

c) 0.6826

d) 0.3174

e) 2 drivers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sample size, n = 5

P = 40% = 0.4

a) Probability that none of the drivers shows evidence of intoxication.

P(x=0) = ^nC_x P^x (1-P)^n^-^x

P(x=0) = ^5C_0  (0.4)^0 (1-0.4)^5^-^0

P(x=0) = ^5C_0 (0.4)^0 (0.60)^5

P(x=0) = 0.778

b) Probability that at least one of the drivers shows evidence of intoxication would be:

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X < 1)

= 1 - P(X = 0)

= 1 - ^5C_0 (0.4)^0 * (0.6)^5

= 1 - 0.0778

= 0.9222

c) The probability that at most two of the drivers show evidence of intoxication.

P(x≤2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

^5C_0  (0.4)^0  (0.6)^5 + ^5C_1  (0.4)^1  (0.6)^4 + ^5C_2  (0.4)^2  (0.6)^3

= 0.6826

d) Probability that more than two of the drivers show evidence of intoxication.

P(x>2) = 1 - P(X ≤ 2)

= 1 - [^5C_0  (0.4)^0  (0.6)^5 + ^5C_1  (0.4)^1  (0.6)^4 + ^5C_2 * (0.4)^2  (0.6)^3]

= 1 - 0.6826

= 0.3174

e) Expected number of intoxicated drivers.

To find this, use:

Sample size multiplied by sample proportion

n * p

= 5 * 0.40

= 2

Expected number of intoxicated drivers would be 2

A kitchen sink has a volume of 1800 cubic inches.What is the volume of a similar sink that is larger by a scale factor of 2
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

14400 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l, b and h are length, breadth and height of a cuboid respectively, then

V=l\times b\times h

If another cuboid is larger by a scale factor of k, then kl, kb and kh are length, breadth and height of new cuboid respectively.

V_1=kl\times kb\times kh

V_1=k^3(l\times b\times h)

V_1=k^3V       ...(i)

It is given that a kitchen sink has a volume of 1800 cubic inches and a similar sink is larger by a scale factor of 2.

Substitute k=2 and V=1800 in equation (i).

V_1=2^3(1800)

V_1=14400

Therefore, the volume of required sink is 14400 cubic inches.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

= 8 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

2in× = 4in²

2in× = 16in

divide both sides by 2.

= 8 in.

Use the Law of Sines to solve the following triangle. Approximate your answers to the nearest tenths. c = 10.2 in, A = 45.1° B =
Sergeu [11.5K]
Law of sines says
a/sinA=b/sinB=c/SinC
where a,b,c are sides of a triangle and A,B,C are angles respectively.
a/sin45.1=c/sin59.1

(we can find angle C by sum of angles of a triangle is 180.)

a=sin(45.1) x 10.2/sin (59.1)

a=0.708 x 10.2/0.85
a=8.496
a=8.5 units

now u can find b and c sides.
