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

List 4 reasons why an expression would not be considered a monomial.
hoa [83]

Answer:

A monomial can also be a variable, like “m” or “b”. It can also be a combination of these, like 98b or 78xyz. It cannot have a fractional or negative exponent. These are not monomials: 45x+3, 10 - 2a, or 67a - 19b + c.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope it helps......

118 text messages.

59.50-30=29.5
29.5 divided by 0.25=118.

I hope this is right! :) Sorry if it isn’t!

Answer:

your question is unclear

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2y=4

-x -x

2y=4-x

divide by 2 to get y by it's self

y=2-(1/2x)

x+2y=4

-2y -2y

x=4-2y

i don't know if u want me to help u with the second one but i did it the first one

Why would someone choose to use a graphing calculator to solve a system of linear equations instead of graphing by hand? Explain
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
A graphing calculator is just easier to graph the points than having to put every point on a piece of graph paper. the calculator also can tell you a bunch of other things like the domain or range or y intercept or x intercept. it’s just all along easier
