An aerospace company has submitted bids on two separate federal government defense contracts. The company president believes tha

t there is a 35% probability of winning the first contract. If they win the first contract, the probability of winning the second is 73%. However, if they lose the first contract, the president thinks that the probability of winning the second contract decreases to 48%.1. What is the probability that they will lose both contracts? 2. What is the probability that they win only one contract? 3. What is the probability that they win both contracts?

Answer:

1) 0.338

2) 0.4065

3) 0.2555

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The probability that they will lose both contracts is the probability of losing contract 1 and 2 altogether:

The probability of losing contract 1 is: 1 - 0.35 = 0.65

The probability of losing contract 2, given that they lose contract 1 is: 1 - 0.48 = 0.52

The probability of losing both contracts is 0.65*0.52 = 0.338

2. The probability that they win only one contract is the probability they they win contract 1, lose contract 2, plus the probability that they lose contract 2, win contract 1:

0.35*(1-0.73) + (1-0.35)*0.48 = 0.0945 + 0.312 = 0.4065

3. The probability that they win both contract is

0.35 * 0.73 = 0.2555

Solve x – 7 > –8.
IgorC [24]
Question 1.

x - 7 > - 8

Adding 7 to both sides, we get:

x - 7 + 7 > - 8 + 7

x > -1

Thus the answer to the inequality is option Fourth.

Question 2.

A number exceeds 66. Let that number be x. The number exceeds 66 means that the number is larger than 66. So in form of an expression we can write the inequality as:

x is greater than 66

x > 66

So, option 1st gives the correct answer.


Question 3.

The tiles are square shaped and area of a square can be calculated as the square of its Length.

Area of square = (Length)²

If we are given the Area, we can find the length as:

Length = \sqrt{Area}

For Tile A, the length will be:

Length= \sqrt{9}=3  
So length is a Rational number

For Tile B, the length will be:

Length= \sqrt{25}=5  
So length is a Rational number

For Tile C, the length will be:

Length= \sqrt{34}  
So, Length is not Rational.

For Tile D, the length will be:

Length= \sqrt{76}  
Length is not Rational

Thus, the lengths of Tile A and Tile B are rational only.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1st option

In finance the notion of expected value is used to analyze investments for which the investor has an estimate of the chances ass
blagie [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected return is given as

Expected Return = SUM (Return i x Probability i). i=1,2,3.....

First investment

Probability of 0.7, it returns 60cents per dollars

Second investment

Probably of 0.3, it loses 20cents per dollar.

Expected return=(0.7×60)-(0.3×20)

Excepted return= 42-6

Excepted return=36cents

To dollars, 1cents is 0.01dollars

Then, 36cents = 0.36dollars

Expected return=$0.36
