A driver and a passenger are in a car accident. Each of them independently has probability 0.3 of being hospitalized. When a hos

pitalization occurs, the loss is uniformly distributed on [0, 1]. When two hospitalizations occur, the losses are independent. Calculate the expected number of people in the car who are hospitalized, given that the total loss due to hospitalizations from the accident is less than 1.

Answer:

0.534

Step-by-step explanation:

p(0 losses) = 0.7² = 0.49

p(1 loss) = 2 x 0.3 x 0.7 = 0.42

p(2 losses) = 0.09

This is a conditional probability problem. If the number of people hospitalized is 0 or 1, then the  total loss will be less than 1. However, if two people are hospitalized, the probability that the  total loss will be less than 1 is 0.5. we need to exclude the 50% x 0.09 chance of a double loss costing more than 1. So

P(Cost < 1)

= 0.49 + 0.42 +0.045

= 0.955

P(0 losses | Cost < 1)

= P(0 losses and Cost < 1) / P(Cost < 1)

= 0.49 / 0.955 = 0.513

P(1 loss | Cost < 1)

= 0.42 / 0.955 = 0.440

P(2 losses | Cost < 1) = 0.045 / 0.955 = 0.047

Now take the expectation:

E[X] = (0)(0.513) + (1)(0.440) + (2)(0.047)

= 0.440 + 0.094

= 0.534

A farmer wants to use 200 feet of fencing for a chicken pen he wants the width of the pen to be 20 feet what is the length of th
Dominik [7]
The length should be 80 feet.
This is because the width is 20 since there are two sides for the width in pen, we have to add 20+20.  This would equal 40. Then we need to subtract 40 from 200. 200-40 would be 160. Then since there are two sides for the length, we need to split that in half. 160÷2 would be 80. To double check, you can do 80+80, and that would still be 160. So the length of one side would be 80. But of course, this whole thing would only be right if the pen has four sides(but since I have seen many chicken pens, there were all rectangular)

A sidewalk has an area that can be represented bt the expression (8x+24) feet. List 3 possible lenghts and widths of the sidewal
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Length = 8 feet and Width = (x+3) feet

Length = 4 feet and Width = (2x+6) feet

Length = 2 feet and Width = (4x+12) feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Area of the rectangular sidewalk = (8x+24) feet²

Since, area of a rectangle = Length × Width

It is required to find three possible lengths and widths.

As, we can factor the given area in the following ways,

1. Area = (8x+24) = 8 × (x+3)

2. Area = (8x+24) = 4 × (2x+6)

3. Area = (8x+24) = 2 × (4x+12)

Thus, the three possible lengths and widths are given by,

<em>1. Length = 8 feet and Width = (x+3) feet.</em>

<em>2. Length = 4 feet and Width = (2x+6) feet.</em>

<em>3. Length = 2 feet and Width = (4x+12) feet.</em>

explain why Shirley Chisholm was a political pioneer. __________________________________________________________________________
irga5000 [103]

Answer: She had already surprised everyone by becoming the first black woman in Congress after an upset victory in 1968. Then Shirley Chisholm signed up for work as a census taker in Brooklyn, where she represented a range of struggling neighborhoods.

It was a thankless task; many of the “enumerators” for the 1970 census quit because so many poor black and Hispanic residents refused to answer questions or even open the door.

Their distrust in government ran deep, The Times reported, with some fearing that giving up their personal information would lead to genocide.

Ms. Chisholm, a daughter of immigrants from Barbados who studied American history with the zeal of a woman determined to shape it, understood such sentiments. She also embodied what was needed to bring those New Yorkers into the fold. It wasn’t pontificating. It wasn’t condescending, or scolding; it required the same charm and resolve she showed first as an educator, then as a politician.

“I do not see myself as a lawmaker, an innovator in the field of legislation,” she wrote in her 1970 autobiography, “Unbought and Unbossed.” “America has the laws and the material resources it takes to insure justice for all its people. What it lacks is the heart, the humanity, the Christian love that it would take.”
