Answer:

c. 60.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The probability P that a person responds to an advertisement can be modeled by the function:

$P=1-e^{-0.047t}$

where $t$ represents number of days since the advertisement first appeared.

To find the probability that a person has responded after 20 days.

Solution:

In order to find the probability that a person has responded after 20 days, we will plugin $t=20$ in the formula given.

We have:

$P(t)=1-e^{-0.047t}$

Plugging in $t=20$

$P(20)=1-e^{-0.047(20)}$

$P=1-e^{-0.94}$

$P=1-e^{-0.047t}$

$P=1-0.3906$

$P=0.6094$

Thus, probability $P$ after 20 days = 0.6094

The probability in percentage can be given = $0.6094\times 100$ = 60.9%

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>First, let's create variables:</em></u>

<u><em>s = startup division</em></u>

<u><em>e = established divisioN</em></u>

<em>The startup division made 80% of 1/2 of the established division. </em>

<em>Let's take a look at what the above statement means: Making 80% of 1/2 means...</em>

<em>0.8 of 1/2 = 0.8*0.5 = 0.4 --> s = 0.4e.</em>

<em>Next: The startup division’s growth was 1/3 greater than the established division’s.</em>

<em>Seems like this is additional information is not needed.</em>

<em>If the divisions made 280,000 combined, how much did the startup division make?</em>

<em>s + e = 280,000 --> s = 280,000 - e, then we can substitude s = 0.4e for s --></em>

<em>280,000 - e = 0.4e --> 1.4e = 280,000 --> e = 200,000.</em>

<em>This means that s = </em><u><em>80,000.</em></u>

How do I Simplify i^54

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

$i^{54}=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, recall the 4 basic imaginary exponents:

$i^1=i \text{, }i^2=-1\text{, }i^3=-1\text{ and } i^4=1$

So, we want to find:

$i^{54}$

This is the same as:

$=i^{52}\cdot i^2$

52 is 4 times 13. Thus:

$=(i^4)^{13}\cdot i^2$

Since we know that i to the fourth is 1:

$=(1)^{13}\cdot i^2$

Simplify:

$=i^2$

And this equals:

$=-1$

So:

$i^{54}=-1$

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.
