As part of a study done for a large corporation, psychologists asked randomly selected employees to solve a collection of simple

puzzles while listening to soothing music. Twenty-three (23) out of 56 employees solved the puzzles in less than 7 minutes. Suppose an employee in the study is selected randomly. Calculate the probability that they take longer than 7 minutes to solve the puzzles.

Answer:

P(A')=1-0.411=0.589

And that represent the probability that they take longer than 7 minutes to solve the puzzles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complement rule is a theorem that provides a connection between the probability of an event and the probability of the complement of the event. Lat A the event of interest and A' the complement. The rule is defined by: P(A)+P(A') =1

On this case we have that n= 56 represent the employees selected to solve the puzzles.

We know that 23 out of the 56 selected solved the puzzles in less than 7 minutes.

Let's define the events A and A' like this:

A: Employees solved puzzles in less than 7 minutes

By the complement rule then:

A' : Employees solved puzzles in more than 7 minutes

Based on this we are interested to find the probability for A'

We can begin finding P(A), from the definition of probability we know:

P(A)=\frac{Possible outcomes}{Total outcomes}

For this case if we replace we got:

P(A) =\frac{23}{56}=0.411

And using the complemnt rule we got:

0.411 +P(A')=1

And solving for P(A') we got:

P(A')=1-0.411=0.589

And that represent the probability that they take longer than 7 minutes to solve the puzzles.

For the first question, simply make a right angle triangle with the following dimensions.

The angle of elevation or the angle from the ground between the first floor and ground is 60 degrees.

The height between the 2 floors is 26 feet.

Solve for the hypotenuse, or the diagonal length between the first and second floors.

Then for the second question, divide the length in feet by the rate to find the time it takes for the object to move.

A quantity with an initial value of 160 grows continuously at a rate of 0.65% per hour.
dangina [55]

Answer:

167.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we write out the general form for an exponential equation;

y = I (1 + r)^n

where y is the current value which we want to calculate

I is the initial value which is 160

r is the growth rate = 0.65% = 0.65/100 = 0.0065

402 minutes to hours will be 402/60 = 6.7 hours which is n

Substituting these values, we have

y = 160( 1 + 0.0065)^6.7

y = 160(1.0065)^6.7

y = 167.10
