Two professors are applying for grants. Professor Jane has a probability of 0.61 of being funded. Professor Joe has probability

0.27 of being funded. Since the grants are submitted to two different federal agencies, assume the outcomes for each grant are independent. Give your answer to four decimal places. a. What is the probability that both professors get their grants funded? Give your answer to four decimal places

Answer:

0.1647

Step-by-step explanation:

From the multiplication rule, we know that if two events are independent (which is the case here), then P(A and B)= P(A)*P(B)

Let P(A) be the probability of Professor Jane being approved, thus P(A)=0.61

Let P(B) be the probability of Professor Joe being approved, thus P(B)=0.27

The probability of both their grants being funded would be P(A and B), since it would be the intersection between these two events.

Thus, calculating: P(A and B)= 0.61*0.27=0.1647

A chip used in the production of particleboard (Question 4) has a 15% chance of containing excessive bark. What is the probabili
salantis [7]

Answer:

0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

P(particleboard with excessive bark) = 0.15

The P(that particleboard do not have excessive bark) = 1 - 0.15

i.e the population proportion number of success p = 0.85

The sample size (n) is given to be = 1000

To find the P(X ≥ 860)

Since the sample size is large, we will apply the normal approximation of binomial distribution to treat this question.

The population mean \mu = n \times p

\mu = 1000 \times 0.85

\mu =850

The population standard deviation \sigma = \sqrt{n*p(1-p)

\sigma = \sqrt{1000*0.85*(1-0.85)}

\sigma = \sqrt{1000*0.85*(0.15)}

\sigma = \sqrt{127.5}

\sigma = 11.2916

Let X be the random variable which obeys a normal distribution;

Then;

P(X \ge 860) = P(Z\ge \dfrac{x- \mu}{\sigma})

P(X \ge 860) = P(Z\ge \dfrac{860- 850}{11.2916})

P(X \ge 860) = P(Z\ge \dfrac{10}{11.2916})

P(X ≥ 860) = P(Z ≥ 0.8856)

P(X ≥ 860) = 1 - P(Z ≤ 0.8856)

From  z table

P(X ≥ 860) = 1 - 0.8122

P(X ≥ 860) = 0.1878

P(X ≥ 860) \simeq 0.2

Thus, the probability of having more than 860 bark-free chips in a batch of 1,000 = 0.2

Jackson drove 1,080 miles<br> in 20 hours. What was his<br> speed in miles per hour?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

54mph

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the speed in "miles per hour" or miles/hour, divide the number of miles by number of hours.

1080 miles/20 hours

= 54miles/hour

His speed is 54 miles per hour.

A ball is thrown from a height of 44 meters with an initial downward velocity of 6 m/s . The ball's height h (in meters) after t
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

h = -5t^2 - 6t + 44

I'll assume 0 meters is the ground height.  That would mean we want to know the time, t, for h to be = 0 meters:

h = -5t^2 - 6t + 44

0 = -5t^2 - 6t + 44

5t^2 + 6t -44 = 0

Solve using the quadratic equation:  2.43 and - 3.63 seconds.  We'll use the positive value:  2.43 seconds for the ball to reach the ground.  Save the -3.63 value for the Klingons.  

We can also solve by graphing the function, as per the attached image.  Note that the starting time of 0 seconds, the ball is at 44 feet.  It reaches the x axis at 2.43 seconds (where x = 0, the ground).
