According to a survey, 62% of murders committed last year were cleared by arrest or exceptional means. Fifty murde committed las
alexira [117]

Answer:

a) The probability that exactly 41 of the murders were cleared is 0.0013

b) The probability that between 36 and 38 of the murders, inclusive, were cleared is 0.0809.

c) Yes, it would be unusual

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p=62% considered as the probability of having a commited that is cleared by arres or exceptional means. We assume that choosing each of the 50 commited is independent of each choose. Then, let X be the number of cleared. In this case, X is distributed as a binomial random variable. Recall that, in this case,

P(X=k) = \binom{50}{k} p^{k}(1-p)^{50-k} for0\leq k \leq 50, with p=0.62

a) We have that

P(X=40) = \binom{50}{40} p^{40}(1-p)^{50-40} =0.001273487

b) We are asked for the following

P(36\leq X \leq 38) = P(X=36)+P(X=37)+P(X=38) = 0.080888936
 (The specific calculation is omitted.

c) We will check for the following probability P(X\leq 19)

P(X\leq 19 ) = \sum_{k=0}^{19} P(X=k) = 0.000499222


Given that the probability of this event is really close to 0, it would be unusual if less than 19 murders are cleared.

One company estimates same-day delivery as more than three less than half the total number of miles. Which graph represents the
VMariaS [17]

By using an online graphing calculator, the overall equation represented by this scenario is plotted in the image attached below.

<h3>How to determine the graph?</h3>

Based on the information provided about this company with respect to its delivery and total number of miles to be covered, we would assign variables as follows:

  • Let y represent same-day delivery.
  • Let x be the total number of miles.

Next, we would translate the word problem into an algebraic equation by using an inequality:

y > x/2 - 3

Also, we would determine the intercepts as follows:

When x = 0, we have;

y = 0/2 - 3

y = -3.

y-intercept = (0, -3).

For the x-intercept, we have:

When y = 0, we have;

0 = x/2 - 3

x/2 = 3

x = 6.

x-intercept = (6, 0).

By using an online graphing calculator, the overall equation represented by this scenario is plotted in the image attached below.
