Naval intelligence reports that 4 enemy vessels in a fleet of 17 are carrying nuclear weapons. If 9 vessels are randomly targete

icang [17]

Answer:

0.7588 = 75.88% probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed

Step-by-step explanation:

The vessels are destroyed without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this question:

Fleet of 17 means that $N = 17$

4 are carrying nucleas weapons, which means that $k = 4$

9 are destroyed, which means that $n = 9$

What is the probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed?

This is:

$P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1)$

In which

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

So

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 0) = h(0,17,9,4) = \frac{C_{4,0}*C_{13,9}}{C_{17,9}} = 0.0294$

$P(X = 1) = h(1,17,9,4) = \frac{C_{4,1}*C_{13,8}}{C_{17,9}} = 0.2118$

Then

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0294 + 0.2118 = 0.2412$

$P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1) = 1 - 0.2412 = 0.7588$

0.7588 = 75.88% probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed

Find the average rate of change of the function f(x)=(3/-3x-5), on the interval x ∈ [0,3]

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The average rate of change on the given interval is 9/70

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to find the average rate of change of the function on the given interval

We proceed as follows;

on an interval [a,b] , we can find the average rate of change using the formula;

f(b) - f(a)/b-a

From the question;

a = 0

b = 3

f(0) = -3/5

f(3) = -3/14

Substituting the values, we have;

-3/14-(-3/5)/3-0

= 3/5-3/14/3

= (42-15)/70/3

= 27/70/3

= 27/70 * 1/3 = 9/70

What is an example of "interval level"?

Ann [662]

The interval level of measurement is a number scale that classifies both order and the value change between each number. For example, a ruler has intervals 1, 2, and 3 inches. The distance between 1 to 2 inches is the same as the distance between 3 to 4 inches.
