Answer:

v = 18 ; u = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram , the diagonals bisect each other . So,

v/3 = 6 ................ eqn.1

and

2u + 2 = 5u - 10 ................. eqn.2

From eqn.1,

v/3 = 6

=> v = 6×3 = 18

From eqn.2,

2u + 2 = 5u - 10

=> 5u - 2u = 10 + 2

=> 3u = 12

=> u = 4

Naval intelligence reports that 99 enemy vessels in a fleet of 1818 are carrying nuclear weapons. If 99 vessels are randomly tar

oee [108]

Answer:

0.001687 = 0.1687% probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vessels are destroyed and then not replaced, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this question:

Fleet of 18 means that $N = 18$

9 are carrying nuclear weapons, which means that $k = 9$

9 are destroyed, which means that $n = 9$

What is the probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed?

This is:

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 0) = h(0,18,9,9) = \frac{C_{9,0}*C_{9,9}}{C_{18,9}} = 0.000021$

$P(X = 1) = h(1,18,9,9) = \frac{C_{9,1}*C_{9,8}}{C_{18,9}} = 0.001666$

Then

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.000021 + 0.001666 = 0.001687$

0.001687 = 0.1687% probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed.
