According to national data, 5.1% of burglaries are cleared with arrests. A new detective is assigned to six different burglaries

blagie [28]

Answer:

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

Step-by-step explanation:

For each burglary, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is cleared, or it is not. The probability of a burglary being cleared is independent of other burglaries. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

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

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

5.1% of burglaries are cleared with arrests.

This means that $p = 0.051$

A new detective is assigned to six different burglaries.

This means that $n = 6$

What is the probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest?

Either none are cleared, or at least one is. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 100% = 1. So

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

We want $P(X \geq 1)$

Then

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.051)^{0}.(0.949)^{6} = 0.7305$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.7305 = 0.2695$

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

The graph of y=f(x) is the solid black graph below. Which function represents the dotted graph?

Fed [463]

Answer: y = f(x - 4) - 1, lower left corner

=============================================================

Explanation:

Let's focus on only the left-most points of each curve

For the black semicircle, the left-most point is located at (-7,0). The corresponding point on the red semicircle is at (-3,-1)

To go from (-7,0) to (-3,-1), we will do two things

Shift 4 units to the right
Shift 1 unit down

This can be done in any order. The action of "shift 4 units to the right" is effectively the same as shifting the xy axis 4 units to the left while keeping the curves fixed in place. This gives the illusion of movement. When we shift 4 the xy axis 4 units to the left, we're replacing each x input with x-4 as the new input.

In short, we go from f(x) to f(x-4). This is why we have this opposite motion going on.

The up and down motion is fairly straight forward. To shift 1 unit down, we subtract off 1. This is to subtract 1 from the y coordinate.

Overall, we go from y = f(x) to y = f(x - 4) - 1

Applying this transformation will move (-7,0) to (-3,-1) as described above. It will also move every other point on the black curve to their new corresponding location on the red curve.
