James lives in San Francisco and works in Mountain View. In the morning, he has 3 transportation options (bus, cab, or train) to

work, and in the evening he has the same 3 choices for his trip home. If James randomly chooses his ride in the morning and in the evening, what is the probability that he'll take the same mode of transportation twice?
How do you do it??

      <span> If James takes a bus in the morning then the probability P(bus-morning)= 1/3
If he takes the bus in the evening then it will be P(bus-evening)= 1/3

P(bus and bus) = P(bus-morning) x P(bus-evening) = (1/3) x (1/3) = 1/9
This is same for other mode of transportation. So...
P(cab and cab) = 1/9 and P(train and train) = 1/3

P(same mode) = P(bus and bus) + P(cab and cab) + P(train and train) = 1/9+1/9+1/9= 1/3</span>

2.A production process manufactures items with weights that are normally distributed with mean 10 pounds and standard deviation
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

population mean = 10

standard deviation = 0.1

sample mean = 9.8 < x > 10.2

The z score can be computed as:

z = \dfrac{\bar x - \mu}{\sigma}

if x > 10.2

z = \dfrac{10.2- 10}{0.1}

z = \dfrac{0.2}{0.1}

z = 2

If x < 9.8

z = \dfrac{9.8- 10}{0.1}

z = \dfrac{-0.2}{0.1}

z = -2

The p-value = P (z ≤ 2) + P (z ≥ 2)

The p-value = P (z ≤ 2) + ( 1 -  P (z ≥ 2)

p-value = 0.022750 +(1 -   0.97725)

p-value = 0.022750 +  0.022750

p-value = 0.0455

Therefore; the probability of defectives  = 4.55%

the probability of acceptable = 1 - the probability of defectives

the probability of acceptable = 1 - 0.0455

the probability of acceptable = 0.9545

the probability of acceptable = 95.45%

4.55% are defective or 95.45% is acceptable.

sampling distribution of proportions:

sample size n=1000

p = 0.0455

The z - score for this distribution at most 5% of the items is;

z = \dfrac{0.05 - 0.0455}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.0455\times 0.9545}{1000}}}

z = \dfrac{0.0045}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.04342975}{1000}}}

z = \dfrac{0.0045}{\sqrt{4.342975 \times 10^{-5}}}

z = 0.6828

The p-value = P(z ≤ 0.6828)

From the z tables

p-value = 0.7526

Thus, the probability that at most 5% of the items in a given batch will be defective = 0.7526

The z - score for this distribution for at least 85% of the items is;

z = \dfrac{0.85 - 0.9545}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.0455\times 0.9545}{1000}}}

z = \dfrac{-0.1045}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.04342975}{1000}}}

z = −15.86

p-value = P(z ≥  -15.86)

p-value = 1 - P(z <  -15.86)

p-value = 1 - 0

p-value = 1

Thus, the probability that at least 85% of these items in a given batch will be acceptable = 1

An electrical tower casts a 120-foot shadow. At the same time, a 10-foot
ki77a [65]

Set up a ratio with the height over the shadow.

Let the height of the tower be X

The ratio of the tower is x/120

The ratio if the sign is 10/8

Set them to equal and solve for x:

x/120 = 10/8

Cross multiply:

8x = 1200

Divide both sides by 8:

x = 1200/8

x =150

The answer is B. 150 ft.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Term payback = 15 yr = $331527.6  20 yr = $394389.65 rounded up by 0.002. Shows 15 yr is $62862.05 less as result of return 5 yrs earlier.

Step-by-step explanation:

20 yr = $1643.29 at 105% = 82.1645 paid x 12 x 20 = 19719.48 interest + 1561.1257 to loan x 12 x 20 = 374670.168 total with Int at 5%=  394389.648  

15 yr=$1841.82.= $1841.82 - 73.6728= 1768.1472 to loan p/m = 20 yr 318266.496 + interest of 73.6728 = 13261.104 total with interest at 4%=331527.6
