An internet search engine looks for a certain keyword in a sequence of independent web sites. It is believed that 20% of the sit

es contain this keyword. (a) Compute the probability that at least 5 of the first 10 sites contain the given keyword. (b) Compute the probability that the search engine had to visit at least 5 sites in order to find the first occurrence of a keyword.

Answer:

(a) The probability that at least 5 of the first 10 sites contain the given keyword is 0.0328.

(b) The probability that the search engine had to visit at least 5 sites in order to find the first occurrence of a keyword is 0.4096.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Let <em>X</em> = number of sites that contains the keyword.

The probability that a site contains the keyword is, <em>p</em> = 0.20.

The number of sites visited first is <em>n</em> = 10.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameter <em>n</em> and <em>p</em>.

The probability mass function of <em>X</em> is:

P(X=x)={10\choose x}0.20^{x}(1-0.20)^{10-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...

Compute the probability that at least 5 of the first 10 sites contain the given keyword as follows:

P (X ≥ 5) = 1 - P (X < 5)

              = 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1) - P (X = 2) - P (X = 3) - P (X = 4)

              =1-\sum\limits^{4}_{x=0} {10\choose x}0.20^{x}(1-0.20)^{10-x}\\=1-0.1074-0.2684-0.3020-0.2013-0.0881\\=0.0328

Thus, the probability that at least 5 of the first 10 sites contain the given keyword is 0.0328.

(b)

Let <em>Y</em> = number of sites that contains the keyword.

The probability that a site contains the keyword is, <em>p</em> = 0.20.

The random variable <em>Y</em> follows a Geometric distribution with parameter <em>p</em>.

The probability mass function of <em>Y</em> is:

P(Y=y)=(1-p)^{x-1}p;\ x=1,2,3...

Compute the probability that the search engine had to visit at least 5 sites in order to find the first occurrence of a keyword as follows:

P (X ≥ 5) = 1 - P (X ≤ 4)

             =1-\sum\limits^{4}_{x=1} (1-0.20)^{x-1}0.20\\=1-0.20-0.16-0.128-0.1024\\=0.4096

Thus, the probability that the search engine had to visit at least 5 sites in order to find the first occurrence of a keyword is 0.4096.

For each answer, we can plug in the given points:

A) is technically the same as B), but B) expresses correct function notation.

B) 5 = 5(1) ⇒ 5 = 5
     25 = 5(2) ⇒ 25 ≠ 10
     B) is incorrect.

C) I'm not sure what you mean y=5^5=x, but I'm going to use y=5^{x} because it's close to what you wrote:
5=5^{1} =\ \textgreater \ 5=5 \\ 25=5^{2} =\ \textgreater \ 25=25 \\ 125=5^{3} =\ \textgreater \ 125 = 125 \\ 625=5^{4}=\ \textgreater \ 625=625 \\ 3125=5^{5}=\ \textgreater \ 3125=3125
The function y=5^{x} works for the points given.

D) 5 = 1 + 5 ⇒ 5 ≠ 6
     D) is not correct.

Please check your functions; I'm not sure that C) is a function.  In any case, the answer is C) because all the other answers are wrong.

You give 1/2 up a $46,000 salary to go back to school for 5 years. The total cost for going to school is $22,000. How much money
Ket [755]

The individual needs to earn $74,750 salary per year in order to recover the investment in 4 years.

What salary amount makes the individual as they were without a salary cut?

By the time the individual resumes back for work after 5 years, they need to earn their previous salary of $46,000 and recover the lost salaries, which is half of $46,000 lost in the last 5 years.

Total salaries lost=1/2*$46,000*5years

Total salaries lost=$115,000

Because the salaries lost needs to be recovered over 4 years, the extra earnings over and above the $46,000 in 4 years is the total salaries lost divided by 4 years

extra salary per year=$115,000/4

extra salary per year=$28,750

Total salary now=prior salary+ extra salary per year

Total salary now=$46,000+$28,750

Total salary now=$74,750

A given line has the equation 10x+2y=-2.
Iteru [2.4K]

The equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

If two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal.

We have the following line:

10x + 2y = -2\\2y = -10x-2\\y = -5x-1

Thus, the slope of the line is -5.

Therefore a parallel line is of the form:

y = -5x + b

We replace the point (0,12)

12 = -5 (0) + b\\12 = b

Finally, the equation is of the form:

y = -5x + 12

Answer:

5x + y = 12

Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Express your answer using the general form or the slope-intercept form
Damm [24]

Answer:

y=-3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the equation in the slope-intercept form first, put the equation in slope-point form using the information given. The slope-point form is y-(-2)=-3(x-2). Then solve for y.

Distribute -3 to (x-2),

y-(-2)=-3x+6

Then, add -2 to both sides,

y=-3x+4

This is your final answer; the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 4. There are also a few other ways to solve but I find this the easiest.
