"A seed randomly blows around a complex habitat. It may land on any of three different soil types: a high-quality soil that give

These three soil types (high, medium, and low) are present in the habitat in proportions of 30:20:50, respectively.

Answer:

a. answer to a can be found in the attached file

b. Pr[survival] = Pr[good&survive]+Pr[medium&survive]+Pr[low&survive]=

0.24+0.06+0.05 = 0.35

c. Assume that the seed has a 0.2 chance of dying before it lands in a habitat. What is its  overall probability of survival?

Pr[survival] = Pr[survival|lands] * Pr[lands] = 0.35 * 0.2 = 0.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the seed has a 0.2 chance of dying before it lands in a habitat. What is its overall probability of survival?

a. Find the probability tree as attached below

b. Pr[survival] = Pr[good&survive]+Pr[medium&survive]+Pr[low&survive]=

0.24+0.06+0.05 = 0.35

c. Assume that the seed has a 0.2 chance of dying before it lands in a habitat. What is its  overall probability of survival?

Pr[survival] = Pr[survival|lands] * Pr[lands] = 0.35 * 0.2 = 0.07

UPS charges $6.00 for the first pound, $1.00 for the second pound, and $0.15 for each additional pound. FedEx charges $4.00 for
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

12 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We we need to write equations to represent the situation in this problem.

x=weight of package

UPS cost=6+1+0.15(x-2)

UPS cost=6+1+0.15x-0.3

UPS cost=6.7+0.15x

FedEx cost=4+2+.25(x-2)

FedEx cost=4+2+0.25x-0.5

FedEx cost=5.5+0.25x

Next, we can set the two equations equal to each other to solve for x.

6.7+0.15x=5.5+0.25x

6.7+0.15x-5.5=5.5+0.25x-5.5

1.2+0.15x-0.15x=0.25x-0.15x

1.2/0.1=0.1x/0.1

x=12

It takes 12 pounds for the UPS and FedEx packages to cost the same amount to ship.
