The 2003 Zagat Restaurant Survey provides food, decor, and service ratings for some of the top restaurants across the United Sta

tes. For 15 top-ranking restaurants located in Boston, the average price of a dinner, including one drink and tip, was $48.60. You are leaving on a business trip to Boston and will eat dinner at three of these restaurants. Your company will reimburse you for a maximum of $50 per dinner. Business associates familiar with the restaurants have told you that the meal cost at 5 of the restaurants will exceed $50. Suppose that you randomly select three of these restaurants for dinner.
Required:
a. What is the probability that none of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company?
b. What is the probability that one of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company?
c. What is the probability that two of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company?
d. What is the probability that all three of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company?

Answer:

a. P(x=0)=0.2967

b. P(x=1)=0.4444

c. P(x=2)=0.2219

d. P(x=3)=0.0369

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable X: "number of meals that exceed $50" can be modeled as a binomial random variable, with n=3 (the total number of meals) and p=0.333 (the probability that the chosen restaurant charges mor thena $50).

The probabilty p can be calculated dividing the amount of restaurants that are expected to charge more than $50 (5 restaurants)  by the total amount of restaurants from where we can pick (15 restaurants):

p=\dfrac{5}{15}=0.333

Then, we can model the probability that k meals cost more than $50 as:

P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}\\\\\\P(x=k) = \dbinom{3}{k} 0.333^{k} 0.667^{3-k}\\\\\\

a. We have to calculate P(x=0)

P(x=0) = \dbinom{3}{0} p^{0}(1-p)^{3}=1*1*0.2967=0.2967\\\\\\

b. We have to calculate P(x=1)

P(x=1) = \dbinom{3}{1} p^{1}(1-p)^{2}=3*0.333*0.4449=0.4444\\\\\\

c. We have to calcualte P(x=2)

P(x=2) = \dbinom{3}{2} p^{2}(1-p)^{1}=3*0.1109*0.667=0.2219\\\\\\

d. We have to calculate P(x=3)

P(x=3) = \dbinom{3}{3} p^{3}(1-p)^{0}=1*0.0369*1=0.0369\\\\\\

The general term for the sequence 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, . . . is
Nuetrik [128]

We are given

sequence is 2 , 4 , 8 ,16 , 32 , .....

Firstly , we will check whether it is geometric sequence

Checking geometric sequence:

We will find common ratio between successive terms

and then we check whether they are equal

r1=(second term)/(first term)

r_1=\frac{4}{2}=2

r2=(third term)/(second term)

r_2=\frac{8}{4}=2

r3=(fourth term)/(third term)

r_3=\frac{16}{8}=2

r4=(fifth term)/(fourth term)

r_4=\frac{32}{16}=2

we can see that all four ratios are same

r_1=r_2=r_3=r_4=2

so, this is geometric sequence

Calculation of general term:

We got

common ratio is

r=2

Let's assume

number of terms is n

first term is 2

a_1=2

now, we can use formula

a_n=a_1 (r)^{n-1}

we can plug values

and we get

a_n=2(2)^{n-1}

a_n=2^1(2)^{n-1}

a_n=(2)^{n-1+1}

a_n=(2)^{n}..................Answer

How would you write the name of a ray differently than the name of a line? What symbols would you use?
matrenka [14]

For a line you would draw a straight line with arrows on each end and for a ray you would draw a straight line with an arrow on only one end (depends on which way ray is pointing)
