According to police sources, a car with a certain protection system will be recovered 87% of the time. Find the probability that

WITCHER [35]

Answer: 0.01145

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Binomial distribution , where the probability of getting x successes in n trial is given by :-

$P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ , p = probability of getting each success in each trial.

As per given

The proportion that a car with a certain protection system will be recovered= p=0.87

n= 8

Let x be the number of cars will be recovered.

Then, the probability that 4 of 8 stolen cars will be recovered:

$P(X=4)=^8C_4(0.87)^4(1-0.87)^{8-4}$

$=\dfrac{8!}{4!(8-4)!}(0.87)^4(0.13)^4\\\\= 70(0.57289761)(0.00028561)\\\\=0.0114537700474\approx0.01145$

Hence, the required probability is 0.01145.

A ferry will safely accommodate 82 tons of passenger cars. Assume that the meanweight of a passenger car is 2 tons with standard

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The probability that the maximum safe-weight will be exceeded is <u>0.0455 or 4.55%</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Maximum safe-weight of 37 cars = 82 tons

∴ Maximum safe-weight of 1 car (x) = 82 ÷ 37 = 2.22 tons (Unitary method)

Mean weight of 1 car (μ) = 2 tons

Standard deviation of 37 cars = 0.8 tons

So, standard deviation of 1 car is given as:

$\sigma=\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{37}}=0.13$

Probability that maximum safe-weight is exceeded, P(x > 2.22) = ?

The sample is normally distributed (Assume)

Now, let us determine the z-score of the mean weight.

The z-score is given as:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{2.22-2}{0.13}\\\\z=\frac{0.22}{0.13}=1.69$

Now, finding P(x > 2.22) is same as finding P(z > 1.69).

From the z-score table of normal distribution curve, the value of area under the curve for z < 1.69 is 0.9545.

But we need the area under the curve for z > 1.69.

So, we subtract from the total area. Total area is 1 or 100%.

So, $P(z > 1.69) = 1 - P(z < 1.69)$

$P(z>1.69)=1-0.9545=0.0455\ or\ 4.55\%$

Therefore, the probability that the maximum safe-weight will be exceeded is 0.0455 or 4.55%.

10. deshawn installs a shelf bracket. what is the

podryga [215]

When Deshawn installs a shelf bracket, the width of the shelf that will fit without overhang will be 3 inches.

<h3>How to calculate the width?</h3>

From the complete information, the other two sides have been given as 4 inches and 5 inches.

The Pythagoras theorem will be used in this case and it goes thus:

4² + Width² = 5²

Width² = 5² - 4²

Width² = 25 - 16

Width² = 9

Width = ✓9

Width = 3

In conclusion, the width is 3 inches.
