How does an earthquake of magnitude 7.9 compare in intensity with an earthquake of magnitude of 3.7 on the Richter​ scale? The l

arger​ earthquake's intensity was nothing times as great as the smaller​ earthquake's intensity. ​(Round to the nearest whole number as​ needed.)

We are required to compare the magnitude for two earthquake intensity:
the larger intensity is 7.9
the smaller intensity is 3.7
thus the ratio of the intensity will be:
(larger intensity)/(smaller intensity)
=7.9/3.7
=2.135
~2 
Thus we conclude that:
The larger earthquake's intensity was 2 times as great as the smaller earthquake's intensity.

The television show CSI: Shoboygan has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 18, meaning that among
jeyben [28]

Answer:

(a) The value of P (None) is 0.062.

(b) The value of P(at least one) is 0.938.

(c) The value of P(at most one) is 0.253.

(d) The event is not unusual.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of households watching the show.

The probability of the random variable <em>x</em> is, P (X) = <em>p</em> = 0.18.

The sample selected for the survey is of size, <em>n</em> = 14

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameter <em>n</em> = 14 and <em>p</em> = 0.18.

The probability of a Binomial distribution is computed using the formula:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,...

(a)

Compute the probability that none of the households are tuned to CSI: Shoboygan as follows:

P(X=0)={14\choose 0}(0.18)^{0}(1-0.18)^{14-0}=1\times1\times0.06214=0.062

Thus, the value of P (None) is 0.062.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least one household is tuned to CSI: Shoboygan as follows:

P (X ≥ 1) = 1 - P (X < 1)

             = 1 - P (X = 0)

             =1-0.062\\=0.938

Thus, the value of P(at least one) is 0.938.

(c)

Compute the probability that at most one household is tuned to CSI: Shoboygan as follows:

P (X ≤ 1) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1)

             ={14\choose 0}(0.18)^{0}(1-0.18)^{14-0}+{14\choose 1}(0.18)^{1}(1-0.18)^{14-1}\\=0.062+0.191\\=0.253

Thus, the value of P(at most one) is 0.253.

(d)

An event that has a very low probability of occurrence is known as an unusual event.

The probability of the event "at most one household is tuned to CSI: Shoboygan" is 0.253.

This probability value is not low.

Hence, the event is not unusual.

Peter leaves Mitchell's house traveling 30 mph. Mitchell leaves 15 min later, trying to catch up to peter, going 40 mph, if they
Kruka [31]

Given :

Peter velocity , P = 30 mph .

Mitchell velocity , M = 40 mph .

Mitchell leaves 15 min later .

To Find :

If they drive along the same route how long will it take Mitchell to catch Peter.

Solution :

Distance covered by Peter in 15 min .

D = 30\times \dfrac{15}{60}=7.5\ miles

Let , time taken is x .

So , distance covered b them is equal :

7.5+30\times x=40\times x\\\\x=\dfrac{7.5}{10}=0.75\ hours\\\\x=0.75\times 60\ min\\\\x=45\ min

Therefore , time taken by them is 45 minutes .

Hence , this is the required solution .
