According to police sources, a car with a certain protection system will be recovered 87% of the time. Find the probability that

WITCHER [35]

Answer: 0.01145

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Binomial distribution , where the probability of getting x successes in n trial is given by :-

$P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ , p = probability of getting each success in each trial.

As per given

The proportion that a car with a certain protection system will be recovered= p=0.87

n= 8

Let x be the number of cars will be recovered.

Then, the probability that 4 of 8 stolen cars will be recovered:

$P(X=4)=^8C_4(0.87)^4(1-0.87)^{8-4}$

$=\dfrac{8!}{4!(8-4)!}(0.87)^4(0.13)^4\\\\= 70(0.57289761)(0.00028561)\\\\=0.0114537700474\approx0.01145$

Hence, the required probability is 0.01145.

In a survey of 400 seniors, x percent said that they plan on majoring in physics. One university has used this data to estimate

azamat

Answer:

2 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use two separate fractions, one representing the amount of physics majors expected and the amount of seniors expected in physics majors by the university.

$\frac{400x}{66} = \frac{400}{3600}$

Now cross multiply.

$\frac{66*400}{400x * 3600}$

x will be removed.

$\frac{26400}{1320000}$

Simplifying this fraction will get you $\frac{1}{50}$ , which in percentage form, will be 2 percent.

Bill weighs 150 lbs. He wants to gain 2 lbs per week for football season. Jamal runs track. He wants to lose weight so he can ru

mars1129 [50]

The correct answer is:

15 weeks

Explanation:

Let w be the number of weeks. Bill weighs 150 pounds and wants to gain 2 lbs per week; this gives us the expression 150+2w for Bill.

Jamal weighs 195 and wants to lose 1 pound per week; this gives us the expression 195-1w for Jamal.

To determine how many weeks it will take them to weigh the same, we set the two expressions equal:

150+2w=195-1w

Add 1w to each side:

150+2w+1w = 195-1w+1w

150+3w = 195

Subtract 150 from each side:

150+3w-150 = 195-150

3w = 45

Divide each side by 3:

3w/3 = 45/3

w = 15
