Answer:

Part A) For the number of hours less than 5 hours it make more sense to rent a scooter from Rosie's

Part B) For the number of hours greater than 5 hours it make more sense to rent a scooter from Sam's

Part C) Yes, for the number of hours equal to 5 the cost of Sam'scooters is equal to the cost of Rosie's scooters

Part D) The cost is $90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the number of hours (independent variable)

y-----> the total cost of rent scooters (dependent variable)

we know that

Sam's scooters

$y=8x+30$

Rosie's scooters

$y=10x+20$

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

A. when does it make more sense to rent a scooter from Rosie's? How do you know?

For the number of hours less than 5 hours it make more sense to rent a scooter from Rosie's (see the attached figure) because the cost in less than Sam' scooters

B. when does it make more sense to rent a scooter from Sam's? How do you know?

For the number of hours greater than 5 hours it make more sense to rent a scooter from Sam's (see the attached figure) because the cost in less than Rosie' scooters

C. Is there ever a time where it wouldn't matter which store to choose?

Yes, for the number of hours equal to 5 the cost of Sam'scooters is equal to the cost of Rosie's scooters. The cost is $70 (see the graph)

D. If you were renting a scooter from Rosie's, how much would you pay if you were planning on renting for 7 hours?

Rosie's scooters

$y=10x+20$

For x=7 hours

substitute

$y=10(7)+20=90$

The cost is $90

If 90 percent of automobiles in Orange County have both headlights working, what is the probability that in a sample of eight au

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

$P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826$

$P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest "number of automobiles with both headligths working", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.9)$
