In the box containing the 2 plain pencils and 2 pens, there would be a 50% chance of getting a pen. In the other box containing 7 color pencils and 3 crayons there would be a 30% chance of getting a crayon.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

1)28.8%

2)28.8%

3)43.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

1))Probability of wining both = Probability that first contract is won* Probability that second contract is won = 0.4 * 0.72 = 0.288 = 28.8%

2)Probability of losing = 1 - Probability of winning

Probability that they will lose both contracts = Probability that first contract is lost * Probability that second contract is lost = (1 - 40/100) * (1 - 54/100) = 0.276 = 27.6%

3)Probability that any one is won = 1 - both contracts are won - both contracts are lost = 1 - 0.276 - 0.288 = 0.436 = 43.6%

What is the solution to the following system? 3x+3y=10<br> -9x-9y=-30
Degger [83]

Answer:

Infinite number of solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equations,

1. 3x+3y=10

2. -9x-9y= -30

Now, if we multiply equation 1 with -3, we will obtain equation 2.

i.e. -3×(3x+3y)= -3×10

i.e. -9x-9= -30

So, we see that both the equations are same.

The equation 3x+3y=10 will have solution for many values of x and y.

Hence, the system will have infinite number of solutions.

For a sample of n = 30 scores, a score that is 6 points above the mean has a z-score of z = 1.50. What is the sample standard de
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score is calculated by the following formula

z=(x-μ)/σ

where

μ=Population mean

σ=Population standard deviation

If the z-score for a specific sample mean is discussed then z-score is computed as

z=xbar-μ/σxbar.

where

μ=Population mean

σxbar=Sample standard deviation

As the population mean and mean of sampling distribution of mean are equal so, μ is used in above equation.

Now, the z-score is given

1.5=xbar-μ/σxbar

σxbar=xbar-μ/1.5.

Also we know that z-score corresponds to a score that is 6 points above mean which means that xbar-μ=6.

σxbar=6/1.5

σxbar=4.

Thus, the required sample standard deviation is 4.
