Grant is trying to make money to help pay for college by taking a job with Brian’s bike taxis if Baltimore. He has an agreement

alexandr402 [8]

Grant needs to ride at least 13.33 miles to male at least $ 15.00 a day

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Grant has an agreement with Brian to rent the bike for $35.00 a night

He charges customers $3.75 for every mile he transports them

Grant needs to make at least $15.00 a day

To find: miles needed to ride

From given question, He charges customers $3.75 for every mile he transports them

So if he transports for "x" miles he would get,

$\$ 3.75 \times x = \$ 3.75x$

So the profit he gets is $ 3.75 and initial cost invested to rent bike is $ 35. Also, Grant needs to make at least $15.00 a day

So we can frame a inequality as:

$3.75x - 35 \geq 15\\\\3.75x\geq 35 + 15\\\\3.75x\geq 50\\\\x \geq 13.33$

So he needs to ride atleast 13.33 miles to male atleast $ 15.00 a day

Travelers who fail to cancel their hotel reservations when they have no intention of showing up are commonly referred to as no-s

notsponge [240]

Answer:

a) 0.0523 = 5.23% probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows.

b) 0 is the most likely value for X.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each traveler who made a reservation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they show up, or they do not. The probability of a traveler showing up is independent of other travelers. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

No-show rate of 10%.

This means that $p = 0.1$

Four travelers who have made hotel reservations in this study.

This means that $n = 4$

a) What is the probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows?

This is $P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{2} = 0.0486$

$P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{1} = 0.0036$

$P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.1)^{4}.(0.9)^{0} = 0.0001$

$P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0486 + 0.0036 + 0.0001 = 0.0523$

0.0523 = 5.23% probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows.

b) What is the most likely value for X?

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{4} = 0.6561$

$P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{3} = 0.2916$

$P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{2} = 0.0486$

$P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{1} = 0.0036$

$P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.1)^{4}.(0.9)^{0} = 0.0001$

X = 0 has the highest probability, which means that 0 is the most likely value for X.

In two hours Holden completed 3/4 of his race how long will it take Holden to complete the entire race?

vivado [14]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4}$ = 50 Minutes

Whole Race Time : 2 Hour and 50 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

so 2 Hour = $\frac{3}{4}$ Race completed

we need to find what 1/4 Race = x Hours

so 200 divided by 4 because $\frac{3}{4}$ Race is done.

we need to find how long to finish the whole race also known as $\frac{4}{4}$ .

200 divided by 4 = 50

so Holden still need 50 Minutes to finish the race.

Suppose S and T are mutually exclusive events. Find P(S or T) if P(S) = 8/9 and P(T) = 1/10.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

$\textbf{$P(S \cap T) = \frac{89}{90}$ }\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\textup{Mutually events are events that cannot occur at the same time.}\\\textup{When you toss a coin you get only $head$ or only $tail$ but never both.}\\ \textup{In mathematical terms $P(A) \cup P(B) = 0$, where $A$ and $B$ are mutually exclusive events. }\\\textup{We know the formula:}\\$$ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cup B) $$\\\textup{When $A$ and $B$ are mutually exclusive, it will simply be:}\\$$ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) $$\\\textup{Now given:}\\ $P(S) = 8/9$ , $P(T) = 1/10$\\$

$\implies P(S \cup T) = \frac{89}{10}$
