In baseball, a player pitches a ball from the mound to a catcher behind the plate. A pitch that passes over the plate above the

batter’s knees and below his chest is a strike. All other pitches are “balls,” provided the batter does not swing at them or hit them foul.
The table below breaks a sample number of pitches into strikes and balls over the plate and not over the plate.




Over plate (Event C)


Not over plate (Event D)


Strike (Event A) 10 0

Ball (Event B) 5 20


Which conditional probability below is either inaccurately described or inaccurately calculated?
The probability that a pitch not over the plate is a ball is 1. So, P(B | D) = 1.

The probability that a pitch over the plate is a strike is 10:15. So, ...

The probability that a pitch over the plate is a ball is 5:10. So, P(B | C) = 0.5.

The probability that a pitch not over the plate is a strike is zero. So, P(A | D) = 0.

Answer:

Third one: The probability that a pitch over the plate is a ball is 5:10. So, P(B | C) = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

P(B|C) = 5/(5+10)

5/15

5:15

The probability the pitch over the plate is a ball is 5:10. (5 balls and 10 strikes over the plate) should be written as 5:15 or 1:3 so this one is inaccurate.

A printer toner company launches a new product. The number of pages that this new toner can print is normally distributed with a
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number of pages that this new toner can print is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = the number of pages.

µ = mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 2300 pages

σ = 150 pages

1)

the probability that this toner can print more than 2100 pages is expressed as

P(x > 2100) = 1 - P(x ≤ 2100)

For x = 2100,

z = (2100 - 2300)/150 = - 1.33

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.092

P(x > 2100) = 1 - 0.092 = 0.908

2) P(x < 2200)

z = (x - µ)/σ/√n

n = 10

z = (2200 - 2300)/150/√10

z = - 100/47.43 = - 2.12

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.017

P(x < 2200) = 0.017

3) for underperforming toners, the z score corresponding to the probability value of 3%(0.03) is

- 1.88

Therefore,

- 1.88 = (x - 2300)/150

150 × - 1.88 = x - 2300

- 288 = x - 2300

x = - 288 + 2300

x = 2018

The threshold should be

x < 2018 pages

What is the a-value of the function, then determine if the graph opening up or down f(x)=−5(x+7)2+6?
Kay [80]
We know that
the equation of the vertical parabola in the vertex form is
<span>y=a(x-h)²+k
</span>where 
(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola
if a> 0 then
 the parabola opens upwards

if a< 0
then the parabola open downwards

in this problem  we have
f(x)=−5(x+7)²<span>+6
</span>a=-5
so
a< 0 -------> the parabola open downwards

the vertex is the point (-7,6) is a maximum

the answer is the option
<span>a = -5, opens down</span> 

see the attached figure

Assume that y varies inversely with x. If y=12 when x=5, find y when x=3
NemiM [27]
Inversely variation means xy = c, where c is a constant

Since when y = 12 x = 5, then c = 12*5 = 60

So xy = 60

Now when x = 3, y = 60/3 = 20
