Answer:

Concept of independent events

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a special roulette wheel, which has an equal number of red and black spots, has come up red four times in a row.

We can assume that the roulette wheel is fair

We find that each time the result of a spin is independent of all the previous ones.

In other words, each spin result will not be affected by how many red or other got in the previous spins.

Mutually exclusive events are disjoint events so not right here.  Dependent is wrong because here independent.

So the concept here is

Concept of independent events

Ket [755]

Answer:

Probability that a randomly selected individual who was unemployed in 2000 would have been unemployed between 12 and 13 weeks is 0.83144 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in calendar year 2000, the average duration of unemployment was 12.7 weeks, with a standard deviation of 0.3 weeks.

Let X = randomly selected individual who was unemployed in 2000

Since distribution is approximately normal, so X ~ N(\mu=12.7,\sigma^{2} = 0.3^{2})

The z score probability distribution is given by;

                 Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean = 12.7 weeks

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 0.3 weeks

So, the probability that a randomly selected individual who was unemployed in 2000 would have been unemployed between 12 and 13 weeks is given by = P(12 < X < 13) = P(X < 13) - P(X <= 12)

P(X < 13) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{13-12.7}{0.3} ) = P(Z < 1) = 0.84134

P(X <= 12) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{12-12.7}{0.3} ) = P(Z < -2.33) = 1 - P(Z <= 2.33) = 1 - 0.99010

                                                                                                   = 0.0099

Therefore, P(12 < X < 13) = 0.84134 - 0.0099 = 0.83144 .

The sum of a number and its reciprocal is 5/2 Find the number and its reciprocal.
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 'x'

Reciprocal = \frac{1}{x}

x+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{5}{2}\\\\\frac{x*x}{1*x}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{5}{2}\\\\\frac{x^{2}+1}{x}=\frac{5}{2}

Cross multiply

(x² + 1) *2 = 5*x

2x² + 2 = 5x

2x² - 5x + 2 =0

Factorize the equation,

Sum = -5

Product = 4

Factors = -1 , -4

2x² - x - 4x + 2 = 0

x(2x - 1) - 2(2x - 1) = 0

(2x -1 )(x - 2) = 0

2x - 1 = 0               ; x -2 = 0

    2x =1                ; x = 2

       x = 1/2

Number = 2 , and its reciprocal = 1/2
