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

Kianna lives in a town where the streets are laid out in a grid. She uses a coordinate plane to draw a map of the town, with her
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

1. The coordinates of Jo’s house are (-4,-2).

2. Kianna walks 8 blocks west, and 2 blocks south.

3. The coordinates of Elena’s house are (4,-2).

4. Kianna is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since Jo’s house is reflected across both axes, we must reflect the coordinates two times. So we can reflect the coordinates of Kianna’s house across the x-axis first, which would give you the coordinates (4,-2). Then we reflect (4,-2) across the y axis, giving us the coordinates (-4,-2). So Jo’s house has the coordinates (-4,-2).

3. Since Elena’s house is only a reflection of Jo’s house across the x-axis only,  we can reflect Kianna’s house’s coordinates (4,2). When we reflect (4.2) over the x-axis, that gives us the coordinates (4,-2). So therefore Elena’s house has the coordinates (4,-2).

4. Kianna is incorrect, if Elena’s house was a reflection of her house across the y-axis, the coordinates would be (-4,2).

(A reflection can be thought of as folding or "flipping" an object over the line of reflection. The original object is called the pre-image, and the reflection is called the image.)

Hope this helps.

Find the total surface area of the pyramid
quester [9]
To find the surface area of a pyramid, we need to find the area of all the faces and add them up. 

4 * 6 = 24
24 / 2 = 12

There are four sides (not including the base) in this pyramid, so we should multiply this by 4. 

12 * 4 = 48

Now, we find the area of the base.

6 * 6 = 36

We add up all of the numbers:

48 + 36 = 84

84 in^2 is the answer. 

Hope this helps!
