A breathalyser test is used by police in an area to determine whether a driver has an excess of alcohol in their blood. The devi

ce is not totally reliable: 5 % of drivers who have not consumed an excess of alcohol give a reading from the breathalyser as being above the legal limit, while 15 % of drivers who are above the legal limit will give a reading below that level. Suppose that in fact 12 % of drivers are above the legal alcohol limit, and the police stop a driver at random. Give answers to the following to four decimal places.
a. What is the probability that the driver is incorrectly classified as being over the limit?
b. What is the probability that the driver is correctly classified as being over the limit?
c. Find the probability that the driver gives a breathalyser test reading that is over the limit.
d. Find the probability that the driver is under the legal limit, given the breathalyser reading is also below the limit.

Answer: 1)The drivers with low alcohol in take from the breathlyser, being above the limit, A = 5/100;

2)The drivers above the alcohol limit, give reading below that level, B = 15/100;

3) The drivers above the alcohol limit that are arrested at radom by police, C = 12/100

Step-by-step explanation: a)  A + B + C = 5/100 + 15/100 + 12/100 = 32/100

b) 1 - ( A + B + C) = 1 - 32/100 = 68/100

c) A = 5/100

d) 1 - 5/100 = 95/100

A shoe store has a pair of shoes that originally cost eighty dollars. Match the expression to find each markup or discount by dr
irina1246 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

always remember some basic principles when dealing with percentages :

100% is the whole

1% = 100%/100

n% = n×1% = n×100%/100

therefore, n% of an amount m is n/100 × m.

like 25% = 25/100 × m = 0.25 × m

so, now it should be very easy :

the 25% discount of $80 is

0.25×80

the amount deducted by (= after) the discount is

80 - 0.25×80

which is actually 0.75×80

a markup is added into the total cost incurred by the producer of a good or service in order to cover the costs of doing business and create a profit. so, a markup of 40% is simply again

0.40×80

and the sale price including (= after) the markup is then

80 + 0.40×80

A manufacturer of band saws wants to estimate the average repair cost per month for the saws he has sold to certain industries.
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The average repair cost per saw for the past month is 20.

The bound of error of estimation is ±10.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Industry        No.of saws   Total repair cost   Average

                                           for past month

1                            3                        50           16.67

2                           7                        110           15.71

3                          11                       230          20.91

4                          9                        140           15.56

5                          2                         60           30

6                         12                       280           23.33

7                         14                       240           17.14

8                          3                         45           15

9                          5                        60           12

10                         9                      230           25.56

11                          8                       140           17.50

12                         6                       130           21.67

13                         3                        70           23.33

14                         2                        50           25

15                         1                          10           10

16                        4                         60           15

17                       12                       280           23.33

18                        6                        150           25

19                        5                         110           22

20                       8                        120           15

Total               130                    2,565           19.73

Average = Sum of the total repair cost for past month divided by the number of saws repaired

= 19.73 (2,565/130)

= 20

The bound on error of estimation = the difference between the upper bound of the interval and the calculated mean

= 30 - 20

= 10

The lower bound = 10

The bound of error is also = (30 -10)/2 = 10
