When you subtract a negative, it changes it to adding a positive.

= -2.5 - (-3.25)

= -2.5 + 3.25

= 0.75

Naval intelligence reports that 4 enemy vessels in a fleet of 17 are carrying nuclear weapons. If 9 vessels are randomly targete

icang [17]

Answer:

0.7588 = 75.88% probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed

Step-by-step explanation:

The vessels are destroyed without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

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

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

In this question:

Fleet of 17 means that $N = 17$

4 are carrying nucleas weapons, which means that $k = 4$

9 are destroyed, which means that $n = 9$

What is the probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed?

This is:

$P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1)$

In which

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 0) = h(0,17,9,4) = \frac{C_{4,0}*C_{13,9}}{C_{17,9}} = 0.0294$

$P(X = 1) = h(1,17,9,4) = \frac{C_{4,1}*C_{13,8}}{C_{17,9}} = 0.2118$

Then

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0294 + 0.2118 = 0.2412$

$P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1) = 1 - 0.2412 = 0.7588$

0.7588 = 75.88% probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed

A rectangular pool is 6 meters wide and 8 meters long. If you swim diagonally across the pool, how many meters would you be swim

Vitek1552 [10]

If you swim diagonally across the rectangular pool, the distance you swim is 10 meters.

Given the following data:

Width of rectangle = 6 meters

Length of rectangle = 8 meters

To determine the distance you swim in meters, we would apply Pythagorean's theorem since the width is along the x-axis while the length is along the y-axis.

Note: The diagonal side of the rectangular pool represents the hypotenuse.

Mathematically, Pythagorean's theorem is given by the formula:

$Hypotenuse^2 = Opposite^2 + Adjacent^2$
