A company studied the number of lost-time accidents occurring at its Brownsville, Texas, plant. Historical records show that 6%

of the employees suffered lost-time accidents last year. Management believes that a special safety program will reduce such accidents to 5% during the current year. In addition, it estimates that 15% of employees who had lost-time accidents last year will experience a lost-time accident during the current year.
a. What percentage of the employees will experience lost-time accidents in both years?b. What percentage of the employees will suffer at least one lost-time accident over the two-year period?

Answer:

a

\% E =  0.9 \%

b

\%E_1 = 10.1 \%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The probability that an employees suffered lost-time accidents last year is P(e) =  0.06

The probability that an employees suffered lost-time accident during the current year is

P(c) =  0.05

The probability that an employee will suffer lost time during the current year given that the employee suffered lost time last year is

P(c | e) =  0.15

Generally the probability that an employee will experience lost time in both year is mathematically represented as

P(c \ n \ e) =  P(e) *  P(c \ |\ e)

=> P(c \ n \ e) =  0.06*   0.15

=> P(c \ n \ e) = 0.009

Generally the percentage of employees that will experience lost time in both year is mathematically represented as

\% E =  P(e \ n \ c ) * 100

=> \% E =  0.009 * 100

=> \% E =  0.9 \%

Generally the probability that an employee will experience at least one lost time accident over the two-year period is mathematically represented as

P(e \ u \ c) =  P(e) + P(c) - P(e \ n \  c)

=> P(e \ u \ c) =  0.06 + 0.05 - 0.009

=> P(e \ u \ c) =  0.101

Generally the percentage of the employees who will suffer at least one lost-time accident over the two-year period is mathematically represented as

\%E_1 = P(e \ u \ c) *  100

=> \%E_1 = 0.101*  100

=> \%E_1 = 10.1 \%

Can someone pls help me with this?
lara [203]

Answer:

14 is A

15 is B

Step-by-step explanation:

14 . the answer is a because first off the slope is negative so we can immediately eliminate B and D second of all the slope is 1/2 so we can eliminate D and get that the answer has to be a

15. answer is B for this one because first of all the slope is negative so we can immediately eliminate A and c and second of all the y-intercept would be 120 because 90 is what x=1 so we would have to add 30 to get what y would equal when x=0 if that makes sense

Feliz [49]
<span>The top item on a list of your life goals should be B. a goal that's most important to you. You shouldn't care much for what other people want from you - if you know what you want and need, you should make that your priority and try to achieve your life goals. It doesnt matter whether you can manage that financially, or whether it's going to be easy - if you really want it, you are going to try your best in order to achieve it. </span>
