Answer:

a) 0.1423

b) 0.2977

c) 0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

For each driver stopped for speeding, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have invalid licenses, or they do not. The probability of a driver having an invalid license is independent from other drivers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

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.

In this problem we have that:

13 percent of the drivers stopped for speeding have invalid licenses.

This means that p = 0.13

14 drivers are stopped

This means that n = 14

(a) None will have an invalid license.

This is P(X = 0)

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

P(X = 0) = C_{14,0}.(0.13)^{0}.(0.87)^{14} = 0.1423

(b) Exactly one will have an invalid license.

This is P(X = 1)

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

P(X = 1) = C_{14,1}.(0.13)^{1}.(0.87)^{13} = 0.2977

(c) At least 2 will have invalid licenses.

Either less than 2 have invalid licenses, or at least 2 does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. Mathematically, this is

P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1

We want P(X \geq 2)

So

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1423 + 0.2977 = 0.44

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.44 = 0.56

If aſc and a +b = C, prove that a|b.
mars1129 [50]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

a + b = c

and a|c

i.e. a divides c.

We need to prove that a|b.

⇒ a = mb for some integer m

Since a|c,

So, mathematically, it is expressed as

c= ka

Now, we put the above value in a + b = c.

So, it becomes,

a+b=c\\\\a+b=ka\\\\b=ka-a\\\\b=a(k-1)\\\\\implies a|b

a=mb, here, m = k-1

Hence, proved.

Tripp and Rico are two dogs. Tripp weighs exactly 35 pounds more than Rico. Together, they weigh exactly 49 pounds. How much doe
babymother [125]
Call the weights of the two dogs t and r.

We know that Tripp weights 35lbs more than Rico, or:
t=r+35

We also know that the total weight of both dogs is 49lbs.:
t+r=49

Now, by substitution:
(r+35)+r=49
2r+35=49
2r+35-35=49-35
2r=14
r=\frac{14}{2}
r=7
Rico weighs 7lbs.

Then:
t=r+35
t=7+35
t=42
Tripp weighs 42lbs.

To check our work:
t+r=49
42+7=49
49=49  CHECK!
