Suppose the contact rate for a phone survey is 78% and that 22% of people will participate in that survey. Assume that agreeing

or not agreeing to participate is independent of whether the house is contacted.
a) What is the probability that the next house will be contacted and refuse to cooperate?

b) What is the probability of failing to contact a house, or making contact and not getting them to agree to the interview?

Remember that, for independent events, the probability that both occurr is the product of the individual probabilities.

a) Probability of being contacted: 78% = 0.78

Probaility of refusing: 1 - 22% = 1 -0.22 = 0.78

Combined probability: 0.78*0.78 = 0.6084

b) The probability of failing to contact or making contact and not geeting them to agree 1 - the probability of contacting and getting them to agree.

The probabilityof contacting and getting them to agree is 0.78*0.22 = 0.1716

The the answer to this question is 1 - 0.1716 = 0.8284

find the coordinates of the vertex of the following parabola algebraically. write your answer as an (x,y) point..y=x²+9
Alexandra [31]

Explanation:

using the parabola formula:

y = a(x-h)² + k²

vertex = (h, k)

We are given a parebola equation of: y = x²+9

comparing both equations to get the vertex:

y = y

a = 1

(x-h)² = x²

x² = (x + 0)²

(x-h)² = (x + 0)²

h = 0

+k = +9

k = 9

The vertex of the parabola as (x, y): (0, 9)

I HAVE30 min left help
frez [133]

Answer:

I think 10.5 would be the unit price and 10lbs of potatoes and 2lbs of tomatoes would cost less

Step-by-step explanation:

since tomatoes cost 2 times more I decided to act as he only bought potatoes and in that case he would have bought 22lbs of potatoes so I divided 16.50 by 22 and got .75 then I multiplied it by 10 and got 7.5 as well as multiplied .75 by two to get the price of the tomatoes then I added 7.5+3 to get 10.5

Find the tenth term in the following geometric sequence. 8, 4, 2, 1, . . .
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

  c)  0.0156

Step-by-step explanation:

The general term a[n] of a geometric sequence is given in terms of the first term a[1] and common ratio r as ...

  a[n] = a[1]r^(n-1)

The given sequence has an initial term of a[1]=8 and a common ratio of 4/8=1/2. Then the general term is ...

  a[n] = 8(1/2)^(n-1)

The 10th term is then ...

  a[10] = 8(1/2)^(10-1) = 8(1/2)^9 = 8/512

  a[10] = 0.015625 ≈ 0.0156
