---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Define the numbers:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be one number.
One number = x
Other number = 5x

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Construct the equation:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x - x  = 80

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combine like terms:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4x = 80

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 4 on both sides:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x = 20

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the 2 numbers:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One number = x = 20
Other number = 5x = 5(20) = 100

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The two numbers in increasing order are 20 and 100.

ddd [48]

Answer:

a) P=0.8

b) P=0.67

c) P=0.05

d) P=0.33

e) P=0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What is the probability that the household has only a cell phone and has high-speed Internet?

This probability is stated in the question: "Suppose of U.S. households having only a cell phone, 80% have high-speed Internet", so the probability is P=0.8.

P(C\&I)=0.8

b. What is the probability that the household has only a cell phone or has high-speed Internet?

This probability is equal to the sum of the probability of having only a cell phone and the probability of having high-speed internet, less the probability of having both (to avoid counting this household twice).

P(C\,orI\,)=P(C)+P(I)-P(C)*P(I|C)=0.25+0.65-(0.25*0.8)=0.25+0.62-0.20=0.67

c. What is the probability that the household has only a cell phone and does not have high-speed Internet?

This is equal to the probability of not having high-speed internet given that it has a cell phone (complementaty of the proability of Point (a)) multiplied by the probability of having a cell phone.

P(C\&\bar I)=P(\bar I|C)*P(C)=(1-P(\I|C))*P(C)=(1-0.8)*0.25 = 0.2*0.25 = 0.05

d. What is the probability that the household does not have just a cell phone and does not have high-speed Internet?

This probability is complementary of the one calculated in Point (c).

P(\bar C \,or\, \bar I)=1-P(C\, or\,I)=1-0.67=0.33

e. What is the probability that the household does not have just a cell phone and does have high-speed Internet?

This is equal to the probability of having high-speed internet less the probability it has both (cell phone and internet).

P(\bar C\&I)=P(I)-P(I|C)*P(C)=0.65-0.8*0.2=0.65-0.2=0.45

If you have 50 red bead 50 blue beads 50 green beads what I'd the probability that will be blue
makkiz [27]
Add all the beads together and put it over the number of blue beads.
so since there are 150 beads, the denominator is 150. and the amount of blue beads is 50 so that's the numerator.
50/150 now simplify, divide the numerator and denominator by 50 that equals
1/3
so the probability of getting a blue bead is 1/3
