Answer:

the cost of the table is \$165

the cost of the chair is \$125

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the cost of the table

y----> the cost of the chair

we know that

2x+3y=705 -----> equation A

x=y+40 -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

2(y+40)+3y=705

2y+80+3y=705

5y=705-80

y=625/5

y=\$125

Find the value of x

x=y+40  ----> x=125+40=\$165

The Washington, DC, region has one of the fastest-growing foreclosure rates in the nation, as 15,613 homes went into foreclosure
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

a) 0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.

b) 0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.

c) The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each home, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it goes into foreclosure, or it does not. The probability of a home going into foreclosure is independent of other homes. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

a. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure?

The foreclosure rate is 1.31% for the Washington, DC area, which means that p = 0.0131

We wanto to find, with n = 100:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0131)^{0}.(0.9869)^{100} = 0.2675

P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0131)^{1}.(0.9869)^{99} = 0.3551

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2675 + 0.3551 = 0.6226

0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.

b. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure?

Foreclosure rate of 0.87% for the nation, which means that p = 0.0087. So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0087)^{0}.(0.9913)^{100} = 0.4174

P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0087)^{1}.(0.9913)^{99} = 0.3663

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.4174 + 0.3663 = 0.7837

0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.

c. Comment on the above findings.

The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.
