Answer:

a)0.08  , b)0.4  , C) i)0.84  , ii)0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

P(A) =  professor arrives on time

P(A) = 0.8

P(B) =  Student aarive on time

P(B) = 0.6

According to the question A & B are Independent  

P(A∩B) = P(A) . P(B)

Therefore  

{A}' & {B}' is also independent

{A}' = 1-0.8 = 0.2

{B}' = 1-0.6 = 0.4

part a)

Probability of both student and the professor are late

P(A'∩B') = P(A') . P(B')  (only for independent cases)

= 0.2 x 0.4

= 0.08

Part b)

The probability that the student is late given that the professor is on time

P(\frac{B'}{A}) = \frac{P(B'\cap A)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.4\times 0.8}{0.8} = 0.4

Part c)

Assume the events are not independent

Given Data

P(\frac{{A}'}{{B}'}) = 0.4

=\frac{P({A}'\cap {B}')}{P({B}')} = 0.4

P({A}'\cap {B}') = 0.4 x P({B}')

= 0.4 x 0.4 = 0.16

P({A}'\cap {B}') = 0.16

i)

The probability that at least one of them is on time

P(A\cup B) = 1- P({A}'\cap {B}')  

=  1 - 0.16 = 0.84

ii)The probability that they are both on time

P(A\cap  B) = 1 - P({A}'\cup {B}') = 1 - [P({A}')+P({B}') - P({A}'\cap {B}')]

= 1 - [0.2+0.4-0.16] = 1-0.44 = 0.56

When Carson runs the 400 meter dash, his finishing times are normally distributed with a mean of 63 seconds and a standard devia
Gnom [1K]

Answer: in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean . The empirical rule is further illustrated below

68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean.

95% fall within two standard deviations.

99.7% fall within three standard deviations.

From the information given, the mean is 63 seconds and the standard deviation is 5 seconds.

2 standard deviations = 2 × 0.5 = 1

63 - 1 = 62 seconds

63 + 1 = 64 seconds

Therefore, in 95% of races, his finishing time will be between 62 and 64 seconds.

Find the value of the combination. From a committee consisting of 8 men and 5 women, a subcommittee is formed consisting of 4 me
Alex787 [66]

Out of 8 men, 4 can be selected and lined up in (8 x 7 x 6 x 5) = 1,680 ways.
But within that number, each group of 4 appears in (4 x 3 x 2) = 24 orders.
So there are (1,680 / 24) = 70 different groups of men.

Out of 5 women, 3 can be selected and lined up in (5 x 4 x 3) = 60 ways.
But within that number, each group of 3 appears in (3 x 2) = 6 orders.
So there are (60 / 6) = 10 different groups of women.

Each different group of 70 men can be joined by any of the 10 groups
of women. So the total number of possible subcommittees is (70 x 10) = 700 .
