Car colors preference change over the years and according to the particular model that the customer selects. In a recent year, 1

0% of all luxury cars sold were black. If 25 cars of that year and type are randomly selected, find the probabilitiy that at most six cars are black.

Answer:

99.05% probabilitiy that at most six cars are black.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each luxury car, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is black, or it is not black. The probability of a luxury car being black is independent from other luxury cars. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

In this problem we have that:

p = 0.1, n = 25

If 25 cars of that year and type are randomly selected, find the probabilitiy that at most six cars are black.

P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

In which

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

P(X = 0) = C_{25,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{25} = 0.0718

P(X = 1) = C_{25,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{24} = 0.1994

P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{23} = 0.2659

P(X = 3) = C_{25,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{22} = 0.2265

P(X = 4) = C_{25,4}.(0.1)^{4}.(0.9)^{21} = 0.1384

P(X = 5) = C_{25,5}.(0.1)^{5}.(0.9)^{20} = 0.0646

P(X = 6) = C_{25,6}.(0.1)^{6}.(0.9)^{19} = 0.0239

P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.0718 + 0.1994 + 0.2659 + 0.2265 + 0.1384 + 0.0646 + 0.0239 = 0.9905

99.05% probabilitiy that at most six cars are black.

Sally is standing at one corner of a snowy rectangular field that measures 200 ft by 200 ft. She wishes toreach a warm cabin loc
pshichka [43]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The optimal point(i.e the position of  P) that will allow Sally to reach the cabin as quickly as possible is  d =  50 \ ft from the cabin.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed from the point Sally is standing to the point P is  u =  3 \  ft /s

   The speed from the point P to the cabin is v  =  5 \  ft /s

   

Let denote the distance from the bottom left corner to the  P  be  y  ft

 Generally according to Pythagoras theorem the distance from Sally's first position to point P is mathematically represented as

          s = \sqrt{y^2 + 200^2}

Generally the distance from that point P to the cabin is mathematically represented as

       d =  200 -y

Generally the time it takes Sally to cover that distance s is mathematically represented as

       t_1 =  \frac{s}{u}

=>     t_1 =  \frac{ \sqrt{y^2 + 200^2}}{3}

Generally the time it takes Sally to cover that distance d is mathematically represented as

       t_2 =  \frac{d}{v}

=>     t_2 =  \frac{ 200 - y }{5}

So the total time taken is  

        t= \frac{ \sqrt{y^2 + 200^2}}{3}  +  \frac{ 200 - y }{5}

Generally the minimum time taken with respect to the distance is mathematically evaluated by differentiating and equating the derivative to 0

So  

     \frac{dt}{dy} =\frac{1}{3} \frac{y}{ \sqrt{y^2 + 200^2} }  -  \frac{1}{5}  =0      

=> \frac{dt}{dy} = \frac{y^2 }{y^2 + 200 ^2} =\frac{9}{25}

=> 25y^2 = 9y^2 + 9 * 200^2        

=> 16y^2 = 360000          

=> y = 150

So the distance from point P to the cabin is  

           d =  200 -150

=>       d =  50 \ ft

So  the optimal point(i.e the position of  P) that will allow Sally to reach the cabin as quickly as possible is  d =  50 \ ft from the cabin
