Answer: 0.5604

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represents the students who are women and B represents the students who are engineering majors.

Then , we have given that P(A)=0.42\ ;\ P(B)=0.18\ ;\ P(A|B)=0.22

By formula , P(A\cap B)=P(A|B)\times P(B)=0.22\times0.18=0.0396

Using formula, \text{P(A or B)=P(A)+P(B) - P(A and B)}, we have

\text{P(A or B)}=0.42+0.18-0.0396=0.5604

Hence, the probability that the selected person is either a woman or an engineering major = 0.5604

Answer:

<em>The answer to this question is 0.5604</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>From the question given we solve for the probability that the selected person is either a woman or an engineering major.</em>

<em>Recall that,</em>

At a certain university, 18% are engineering majors, 42% of the students are women, and for the engineers 22% are women

<em>so,</em>

P( women ) = 0.42

P( engineering majors ) = 0.18

P( engineers who are women ) = 22% of 18 = (22/100) x 18 = 3.96% = 0.0396

<em>Therefore,</em>

P( woman or an engineering major ) = P(woman) + P( engineering major ) - P( Women and engineering major ) = 0.42 + 0.18 - 0.0396 = 0.5604

A shipping pallet holds 10 boxes. Each box holds 300 parts of different
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

(a) The mean and standard deviation of the pallet weight are 3000 lb and 10.95 lb respectively.

(b) The probability that the pallet weight (W) will exceed 3015 lb is 0.085.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> denote the weight of the parts.

The random variable <em>X</em> is normally distributed with parameters, <em>μ</em> = 1 lb and <em>σ</em> = 0.20 lb.

It is provided that a shipping pallet holds 10 boxes and each box holds 300 parts of different types.

That is, there are a total of 300 × 10 = 3000 parts in a pallet.

(a)

Compute the mean and standard deviation of the pallet weight as follows:

Mean of the pallet weight = n × E (X)

                                           =n\times\mu\\\\=3000\times 1\\\\=3000

Standard deviation of the pallet weight = \sqrt{3000\times V(X)}

                                                                 =\sqrt{3000\times (0.20)^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{120}\\\\=10.9544512\\\\\approx10.95

Thus, the mean and standard deviation of the pallet weight are 3000 lb and 10.95 lb respectively.

(b)

Compute the probability that the pallet weight (W) will exceed 3015 lb as follows:

P(W>3015)=P(\frac{W-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{3015-3000}{10.95})

                     =P(Z>1.37)\\\\=1-P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Thus, the probability that the pallet weight (W) will exceed 3015 lb is 0.085.

The cost of a desktop computer sells for $1150. The store has a sale on computers for 35% off. How much did the customer pay for
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Should be 747.50 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

So if your own a calculator you can simply type 1150 times .35 which is the percentage of 35 converted into a decimal , once you multiply you should get 402.5, you get that 402.5 and subtract it from 747.50 dollars
