All bags entering a research facility are screened. Ninety-seven percent of the bags that contain forbidden material trigger an

alarm. Fifteen percent of the bags that do not contain forbidden material also trigger the alarm. If 1 out of every 1,000bags entering the building contains forbidden material, what is the probabilitythat a bag that triggers the alarm will actually contain forbidden material?(a) 0.00097(b) 0.00640(c) 0.03000(d) 0.14550(e) 0.97000

Answer:

(b) 0.00640

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

P(A|F) = The probability of bags that contain forbidden material trigger an alarm = 0.97 or 97%

P(A| not F)= The probability of bags that do not contain forbidden material also trigger the alarm= 0.15 or 15%

P(F) = the probability that a bag contain forbidden material = 0.001

P(not F) = the probability that a bag does not contain forbidden material = 0.999

Then P(A)= P(F) × P(A|F)  + P(not F)  × P(A| not F) = 0.001×0.97 + 0.999×0.15 = 0.15082

Then the probability that a bag that triggers the alarm will actually contain forbidden material =P(F|A)=\frac{P(F)*P(A|F)}{P(A)}

=\frac{0.001*0.97}{0.15064} ≈ 0.0064

Joseph served 18 customers in 42 minutes. Approximately how many customers would he serve in 2 hours if he continued at this rat
zhenek [66]
Okay so if he serves 18 customers in 42 minutes divide 18 by 42 and you get the amount of customers he serves per min which is 0.42857413 then multiply that by 120 since 2 hours add up to 120 minutes and you get 51.43

The baseball team needs new equipment. Company A can provide 9 helmets, 6 bats, and 12 balls for $525. Company B can provide 10
Olin [163]

Answer:

Choice A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = price of a helmet, y = price of a bat, z = price of a ball.

Company A can provide 9 helmets, 6 bats, and 12 balls for $525.

9x + 6y + 12z = 525

Company B can provide 10 helmets, 8 bats, and 10 balls for $600.

10x + 8y + 10z = 600

Company C can provide 8 helmets, 5 bats, and 15 balls for $500.

8x + 5y + 15z = 500

Answer: Choice A.

What is the factored form of the expression. (2n^2 + 5n + 3) (4n - 5)
7nadin3 [17]

So firstly, <u>the factor (4n - 5) cannot be further factored, so we will be focusing on 2n² + 5n + 3.</u>

So for this, we will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of 6n² and a sum of 5n? That would be 2n and 3n. Replace 5n with 2n + 3n:

(2n^2 + 2n + 3n + 3)(4n - 5)

Next, factor 2n² + 2n and 3n + 3 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside of the parentheses:

(2n(n+1)+3(n+1))(4n-5)

Now we can rewrite this expression as<u> (2n+3)(n+1)(4n-5) , which is your final answer.</u>

What is the answer to this question (3x3)+7-7=
exis [7]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming x is the multiplication symbol, you would multiply 3 and the other 3 together. This leaves you with 9+7-7. Since 7-7=0 you can just get rid of both sevens completely. Now you are only left with 9.
