Rabies is a viral disease of mammals transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The virus infects the central nervous syste

m, causing encephalopathy and ultimately death. The Florida Department of Health reports the distribution of documented cases of rabies for all of 2004:
Species Racoon Fox Bat Other
Probability 0.55 0.11 0.04 X
(a) What probability should replace X in the distribution? Please use 2 decimal places.
(b) What is the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon? Please use 2 decimal places.
(c) What is the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox? Please use 2 decimal places.

Answer:

(a) The value of <em>x</em> is 0.30.

(b) The probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

(c) The probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox is 0.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>R</em> = reported case of rabies is a raccoon

<em>F</em> = reported case of rabies is a fox

<em>B</em> = reported case of rabies is a bat

<em>O</em> = reported case of rabies is a some other animal.

The data provided is:

P (R) = 0.55

P (F) = 0.11

P (B) = 0.04

P (O) = <em>x</em>.

(a)

A property of a probability distribution is that the sum of all individual properties is 1.

That is, \sum P(X)=1

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

\sum P(X)=1\\P(R)+P(F)+P(B)+P(O)=1\\0.55+0.11+0.04+x=1\\0.70+x=1\\x=1-0.70\\x=0.30

Thus, the value of <em>x</em> is 0.30.

(b)

The probability of the complement of an event is the probability of its not happening.

P(A^{c})=1-P(A)

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon as follows:

P(R^{c})=1-P(R)\\=1-0.55\\=0.45

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

(c)

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox as follows:

P(B\cup F)=P(B)+P(F)\\=0.11+0.04\\=0.15

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox is 0.15.

Use the following problem to answer questions 7 and 8. Carrie draws 5 cards simultaneously from a well-shuffled deck of 52 playi
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The probability that she chooses 3 spades and 2 cards that are not spades is

0.08154

Step-by-step explanation:

52 deck cards have 13 spades , 13 clubs , 13 diamond, 13 hearts

spades = 13

Non spades = 39

Selecting 3 spades = 13C3 (Using combination)

selecting 2 spades = 39C2

in total 5 cards are drawn = 52C5

Probability of drawing 5 cards (3spades+2 non spades)

                               =\frac{ 13C3*39C2}{52C5} = 0.08154

Solve for x on the interval 0≤x&lt;2pi<br><br> cos(3x)=1/2
Ede4ka [16]

We will see that the solution in the given interval is: x = 0.349 radians.

<h3>How to solve equations with the variable in the argument of a cosine?</h3>

We want to solve:

cos(3*x) = 1/2

Here we must use the inverse cosine function, Acos(x). Remember that:

cos(Acos(x)) = Acos(cos(x)) = x.

If we apply that in both sides, we get:

Acos( cos(3x) ) = Acos(1/2)

3*x = Acos(1/2)

x = Acos(1/2)/3 = 0.349

So x is equal to 0.349 radians, which belongs to the given interval.
