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

Simplify your answer to the previous part and enter a differential equation in terms of the dependent variable xx satisfied by x
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

x'-5x=0, or x''-25x=0, or x'''-125x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The function x(t)=e^{5t} is infinitely differentiable, so it satisfies a infinite number of differential equations. The required answer depends on your previous part, so I will describe a general procedure to obtain the equations.

Using rules of differentiation, we obtain that x'(t)=5e^{5t}=5x \text{ then }x'-5x=0. Differentiate again to obtain, x''(t)=25e^{5t}=25x=5x' \text{ then }x''-25x=0=x''-5x'. Repeating this process, x'''(t)=125e^{5t}=125x=25x' \text{ then }x'''-125x=0=x'''-25x'.

This can repeated infinitely, so it is possible to obtain a differential equation of order n. The key is to differentiate the required number of times and write the equation in terms of x.

PLEASE ANSWER! I NEED THE ANSWER IN THE NEXT HOUR! The table shows the number of teams remaining in each round of a tournament.
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation would be 32 times (1/2)^x.

Linear equations won't have exponents, because this is an exponential equation.
