A credit card company has found that 0.1% of all transactions are fraudulent. It has developed a computer program that correctly

identifies whether a transaction is fraudulent or not 99% of the time. If the program scans 5,000,000 transactions, about how many of them will it identify as fraudulent?

Given:
0.1% of all transactions are fraudulent
99% correct identification whether a transaction is fraudulent or not.
Scanned 5,000,000 transactions.

5,000,000 x 0.1% = 5,000 fraudulent transactions.

For me, there are 5,000 fraudulent transactions. This is based on the 0.1% rather than the 99%. Because the problem clearly states that the 0.1% of ALL transaction is identified as fraudulent. The 99% of the computer program only deals with the correct identification of the transaction as either fraudulent or not. For me, it is not a clear measure of the true number of fraudulent transactions.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Hence the maximum possible volume will be the 778.53 c.c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A rectangle with 13 x 26 dimensions

And corners are cut to form side squares.

To Find:

Maximum possible volume for box

Solution :

Consider a rectangle of 13 x 26 dimension with and side of square  at corner be x.

(Refer the attachment)

Now,

Formulating the volume equation for the box

So corner square sides we are going to fold up which makes height of the box

and remaining part will be length and breadth

As shown in fig,

Length=26-x

breadth=13-x

And height will be x

V(x)=x*(26-x)*(13-x)

To get maximum volume differentiate the above equation,

V(x)=x*(26*13-26*x-13*x+x^2)

V(x)=x^3-39x^2+338x\\

V'(x)=3x^2-78x+338

V''(x)=6x-78

Now ,Solve the Quadratic Equation to get x values,

3x^2-78x+338=0

x=[-b±(b^2-4ac)^1/2]/2a

x=[78±Sqrt[(78)^2-4*338*3)]/2*3

x=[78±Sqrt(3028)]/6

x=[78±55.027]/6

x=78+55.027/6 or x=78-55.027/6

x=22.17  or x=3.8288

Use these values in 6x-78 to know which value posses the max and min value for the function.

So when x=22.17

6x-78=6*22.17-78

=55.02>0  i.e function will have minimum value .

When x=3.8288

6*3.8288-78

=-55.0272<0 i.e. Function will have maximum value

Now, the function will defines the maximum volume

V(x)=x^3-39x^2+338x

V(x)=3.8288^3-39*(3.82883)^2+338*3.8288

V(x)=56.13-571.73+1294.13

V(x)=778.53 C.C

Plssss help<br><br>use multiplication to solve the proportion​
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Its 7.333333333333333333  (3 forever)

First you isolate y onto one side of the equation

y/9= 44/54  -->  y = 9 x 44/54

Multiply the right side of the equation

9 x 44/54 = 396/54

Now divide to get the whole answer

396/54 = 7.3333333333 (3 forever)

y = 7.333333
