Police plan to enforce speed limits by using radar traps at four different locations within the city limits. The radar traps at

each of the locations L1, L2, L3, and L4 will be operated 40%, 30%, 20%, and 30% of the time. If a person who is speeding on her way to work has probabilities of 0.2, 0.1, 0.5, and 0.2, respectively, of passing through these locations, what is the probability that she will receive a speeding ticket?

Answer:

The probability that the person gets a speeding ticket is 0.27

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the person receives a speeding ticket is the probability that the person passes through any of the speed limits and the radar is operating at that time.

Let P(L_1) is the probability that the person passes through radar L_{1} and it is operating at that time is

P(L_{1})=P(1)\times P(2)

Where

P(1) is the probability of person passes through L_{1}

P(2) is probability that the radar is operating

P(L_1)=0.2\times 0.4=0.08

Similarly the probabilities are calculated for other radars in the similar manner as

P(L_2)=0.1\times 0.3=0.03

P(L_3)=0.5\times 0.2=0.1

P(L_4)=0.2\times 0.3=0.06

Thus the reuired probability of the reuired event is

P(E)=P(L_1)+P(L_2)+P(L_3)+P(L_4)\\\\P(E)=0.08+0.03+0.1+0.06=0.27

The mean amount of money spent on lunch per week for a sample of 458458 college students is $43$ 43. If the margin of error for
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the mean amount of money spent on lunch per week for all college students is between $41.40 and $44.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval has two bounds, a lower bounds and an upper bound.

These bounds depend on the sample mean and the margin of error.

The lower bound is the sample mean subtracted by the margin of error.

The upper bound is the margin of error added to the sample mean.

In this problem, we have that:

The sample mean is $43.

The margin of error is $1.60 for a 99% confidence interval.

Lower bound: 43 - 1.60 = $41.40

Upper bound: 43 + 1.60 = $44.60

The 99% confidence interval for the mean amount of money spent on lunch per week for all college students is between $41.40 and $44.60.
