A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires. Given its specific needs, the management feels that there is a 50%

chance of hiring at least two candidates. There is only a 10% chance that it will not make any hires and a 18% chance that it will make all three hires.
a. What is the probability that the firm will make at least one hire? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Probability
b. Find the expected value and the standard deviation of the number of hires. (Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

a) 0.9

b) Mean = 1.58

Standard Deviation = 0.89

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires.

Let X be the variable describing the number of hiring in the company.

Thus, x can take values 0,1 ,2 and 3.

P(x\geq 2) = 50\%= 0.5\\P(x = 0) = 10\% = 0.1\\P(x = 3) = 18\% = 0.18

a) P(firm will make at least one hire)

P(x\geq 2) = P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\0.5 = P(x=2) + 0.18\\ P(x=2) = 0.32

Also,

P(x= 0) +P(x= 1) + P(x= 2) + P(x= 3) = 1\\ 0.1 + P(x= 1) + 0.32 + 0.18 = 1\\ P(x= 1) = 1- (0.1+0.32+0.18) = 0.4

\text{P(firm will make at least one hire)}\\= P(x\geq 1)\\=P(x=1) + P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\ = 0.4 + 0.32 + 0.18 = 0.9

b) expected value and the standard deviation of the number of hires.

E(X) = \displaystyle\sum x_iP(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 2(0.32)+3(0.18) = 1.58

E(x^2) = \displaystyle\sum x_i^2P(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 4(0.32) +9(0.18) = 3.3\\V(x) = E(x^2)-[E(x)]^2 = 3.3-(1.58)^2 = 0.80\\\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{V(x)} = \sqrt{0.8036} = 0.89

Which of the following is the equation for the graph shown?a. x^2/144+y^2/95=1b. x^2/144-y^2/95=1c. x^2/95+y^2/144=1d. x^2/95-y^
Andrews [41]

e follSOLUTION

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question

STEP 1: Write the general equation of an ellipse

\frac{\mleft(x-h\mright)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-h)^2}{b^2^{}}=1

STEP 2: Identify the parameters

the length of the major axis is 2a

the length of the minor axis is 2b

\begin{gathered} 2a=24,a=\frac{24}{2}=12 \\ 2b=20,b=\frac{20}{2}=10 \end{gathered}

STEP 3: Get the equation of the ellipse

\begin{gathered} By\text{ substitution,} \\ \frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-h)^2}{b^2}=1 \\ \frac{(x-0)^2}{12^2}+\frac{(y-0)^2}{10^2}=1=\frac{x^2}{144}+\frac{y^2}{100}=1 \end{gathered}

STEP 4: Pick the nearest equation from the options,

Hence, the equation of the ellipse in the image is given as:

\frac{x^2}{144}+\frac{y^2}{95}=1

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

17.9°

Step-by-step explanation:

From trigonometry:

Opposite = 14

Adjacent = x

theta = 38°

hence;

tan theta = opposite/ adjacent

tan38° = 14/x

x = 14/tan38°

x = 17.9°
