U=200
n(G)=120
n(F)=100
n(GnF)=x
U=n(G)+n(F)-n(GnF)
200=120+100-x
x=20
French but not German is 100-20=80
percentage = 80/200 *100%= 40%

Tina bought a painting while on vacation in 2009. The table below shows the value of the painting in2009,2010,and2011. If this t

otez555 [7]

Answer:

The answer is E

Step-by-step explanation:

We first are going to look at our first term on the table(the number that comes up first) which is $75.

Then we have to find the common factor. So, you divide the second number by the first number( 88.50 divided by 75 which gets us 1.18).

<em>Now, since we found the first term and the common factor, we are going to have to find the exponent for our f(x) equation. </em>

<em>We know that she bought the painting in 2009! Now the problem is asking how much the painting will cost in 2030. So, you will subtract 2030-2009 which gets you 21! So 21 is your exponent!</em>

<em>Equation: </em><em> F(x)= 75(1.18) ^21 </em>

<em>The answer that you get is: $2424.28</em>

State police believe that 70% of the drivers traveling on a major interstate highway exceed the speed limit. They plan to set up

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

With n = 50, both conditions(np > 5, n(1-p) > 5) are satisfied, so a random sample of 50 cars would have been large enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to the normal distribution if:

np > 5, n(1-p) > 5

70% of the drivers traveling on a major interstate highway exceed the speed limit.

So p = 0.7.

Would a random sample of 50 cars have been large enough and why?

With n = 50

np = 50*0.7 = 35 > 5

n(1-p) = 50*0.3 = 15 > 5

With n = 50, both conditions(np > 5, n(1-p) > 5) are satisfied, so a random sample of 50 cars would have been large enough.

A professor has been teaching accounting for over 20 years. From her experience she knows that 75% of her students do homework r

Nata [24]

Answer:

a) $P(B|A) =\frac{P(A and B)}{P(A)}=\frac{0.65}{0.75}=0.867$

b) In order to two events can be considered as independent we need to have this condition:

$P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)$

If we check the condition we see this:

$P(A)*P(B)= 0.75*0.7=0.525 \neq P(A and B)$

So since we don't have the condition satisfied the events "do the homework regularly" and "pass the course" are not independent.

Other way to check independence is with the following two conditions:

$P(B|A)=P(B)$ or $P(A|B)=P(A)$ , and we see that $P(B|A)\neq P(B)$ for our case.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

Lets define the following events

A: Represent the students who do homework regularly

B: Represent the students who pass the course

75% of her students do homework regularly

70% of her students pass the course

65% of her students do homework and also pass the course

For this case we have some probabilities given:

P(A) =0.75, P(B) =0.70 and P(A and B)=0.65

Solution to the problem

Part a

On this case we want to find this probability:

P(B|A) the conditional probability (Pass the course given that he does the homework regularly).

By defintion of conditional probability we know that:

$P(B|A) =\frac{P(A and B)}{P(A)}$

And now we can replace in the conditional formula like this:

$P(B|A) =\frac{P(A and B)}{P(A)}=\frac{0.65}{0.75}=0.867$

Part b

In order to two events can be considered as independent we need to have this condition:

$P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)$

If we check the condition we see this:

$P(A)*P(B)= 0.75*0.7=0.525 \neq P(A and B)$

So since we don't have the condition satisfied the events "do the homework regularly" and "pass the course" are not independent.

Other way to check independence is with the following two conditions:

$P(B|A)=P(B)$ or $P(A|B)=P(A)$ , and we see that $P(B|A)\neq P(B)$ for our case.

The time to complete the construction of a soapbox derby car is normally distributed with a mean of three hours and a standard d

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

38.40% probability that it would take between 2.5 and 3.5 hours to construct a soapbox derby car.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 3, \sigma = 1$

Find the probability that it would take between 2.5 and 3.5 hours to construct a soapbox derby car.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 3.5 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2.5

X = 3.5

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{3.5 - 3}{1}$

$Z = 0.5$

$Z = 0.5$ has a pvalue of 0.6915

X = 2.5

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{2.5 - 3}{1}$

$Z = -0.5$

$Z = -0.5$ has a pvalue of 0.3075

0.6915 - 0.3075 = 0.3840

38.40% probability that it would take between 2.5 and 3.5 hours to construct a soapbox derby car.
