Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show a steady decline in the average workweek of U.S. production workers from 38.5

hours in 1964 to 33.9 hours in 2006. But employees are spending time working when they are at home and behind the wheel. In a poll conducted for Staples, 18% of small-business managers in the United States reported that they read e-mail messages in the bathroom. Consider the experiment of randomly selecting four small-business managers and learning whether they read e-mail messages in the bathroom.
Let R = reads e-mail in the bathroom, and
N = does not read e-mail in the bathroom.
Firs, define a success, in this case, define the selection of a manager who reads e-mail in the bathromm as success. Of the________possible experimental outcomes, _________outcomes result in exactly 1 success.
All of the sample points with 1 success have the same probability of occurrence. What is this probability?
a. 0.18
b. 0.0048
c. 0.0218
d. 0.0992

Answer:

Of the 16 possible experimental outcomes, 4 outcomes result in exactly 1 success.

The probability of a determined sample point with an outcome of one success is P=0.0992.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a proportion of success (the selection of a manager who reads e-mail in the bathroom) of p=0.18.

The sample size is n=4.

We can model this as a binomial random variable.

The sample space is [0, 1, 2, 3, 4].

The possible outcomes for x=0 (that is no manager in the sample reads email in the bathroom) can be calculated as:

C(0)=\dbinom{4}{0}=\dfrac{4!}{4!0!}=1

The same way we can calculate all the other possible outcomes:

C(1)=\dbinom{4}{1}=\dfrac{4!}{3!1!}=\dfrac{4}{1}=4\\\\\\C(2)=\dbinom{4}{2}=\dfrac{4!}{2!2!}=\dfrac{4*3}{2*2}=6\\\\\\C(3)=\dbinom{4}{3}=\dfrac{4!}{3!1!}=4\\\\\\C(4)=\dbinom{4}{4}=\dfrac{4!}{4!0!}=1

The sum of this outcomes is 16 possible outcomes. Of the 16 possible experimental outcomes, 4 outcomes result in exactly 1 success.

The probability of an outcome with 1 success is the product of p (the one that reads email) times (1-p)^3 (the other 3 that do not read emails in the bathroom):

p\cdot (1-p)^3=0.18\cdot0.82^3=0.18\cdot 0.5514=0.0992

Triangle ABC has vertices A(4, 5), B(0, 5), and C(3, –1). The triangle is translated 3 units to the left and 1 unit up. What are
tankabanditka [31]

The coordinates of point B' are (-3, 6).

<h2>Given that</h2>

Triangle ABC has vertices A(4, 5), B(0, 5), and C(3, –1).

The triangle is translated as 3 units to the left and 1 unit up.

<h3>We have to determine</h3>

What are the coordinates of B' after the translation?

<h3>According to the question</h3>

Triangle ABC has vertices A(4, 5), B(0, 5), and C(3, –1).

The triangle is translated as 3 units to the left and 1 unit up.

To find the coordinates of B', we will shift the x-coordinate of point B to left by 3 units and the y-coordinate of point B to 1 unit up.

After the given transformation the coordinates of point B' would be:

\rm B(0, \ 5) = B (0-3, \ 5+1) = B(-3, \ 6)

Therefore, the coordinates of point B' are (-3, 6).

Hence solve the equation x^3+x^2-6x=0<br>​
Aneli [31]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em />

<em>x³ + x² - 6x = 0</em>

<em>x(x² + x - 6) = 0</em>

<em>x(x² + 3x - 2x - 6) = 0</em>

<em>x[x(x + 3) - 2(x + 3)] = 0</em>

<em>x(x - 2)(x + 3) = 0</em>

<em>x₁ = 0</em>

<em>x - 2 = 0 => x₂ = 2</em>

<em>x + 3 = 0 => x₃ = - 3</em>

What do you think are some of the advantages and disadvantages of a capitalist economic system? Do you feel that the advantages
Tcecarenko [31]
Hello!

Advantages of a capitalist economic system:

• Economic growing and expansion.

• Consumer choice (The consumers get to choose what to consume, which leads to better products and services).

• Efficiency of economics (Goods and services based on demand)



Disadvantages of a capitalist economic system:

• Inequality (A small group of people hold most of the wealth)

• There can be a monopoly of power (a specific enterprise is the only supplier of particular commodity)

• Unemployment

• Social benefit ignored. A free market will ignore externalities.

No, I feel the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, because there are more of them.
