Answer:

B. Biased Sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population is not only made of mothers, but there are fathers, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters, and a lot of other people. By selecting only mothers, it gears the survey to be biased towards a certain type of thinking.

Givers the linear sequence,<br> -2,7,X,Y, 2... Find the value of<br> Z.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Z = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

From the series, we have that:

a = -2

a + d = 7

Hence, -2 + d = 7

∴ d = 7 + 2 = 9

a + 2d = X; a + 3d = Y and a + 4d = Z

-2 + 4(9) = Z

∴ Z = 36 - 2 = 34

A certain company sends 40% of its overnight mail parcels by means of express mail service A1. Of these parcels, 4% arrive after

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

(a) The probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late is 0.026.

(b) The probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₁ is 0.615.

(d) The probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₃ is 0.192.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the tree diagram below.

(a)

The law of total probability sates that: $P(A)=P(A|B)P(B)+P(A|B')P(B')$

Use the law of total probability to determine the probability of a parcel being late.

$P(L)=P(L|A_{1})P(A_{1})+P(L|A_{2})P(A_{2})+P(L|A_{3})P(A_{3})\\=(0.04\times0.40)+(0.01\times0.50)+(0.05\times0.10)\\=0.026$

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late is 0.026.

(b)

The conditional probability of an event A provided that another event B has already occurred is:

$P(A|B)=\frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)}$

Compute the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₁ as follows:

$P(A_{1}|L)=\frac{P(L|A_{1})P(A_{1})}{P(L)} \\=\frac{0.04\times 0.40}{0.026} \\=0.615$

Thus, the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₁ is 0.615.

(c)

Compute the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₂ as follows:

$P(A_{2}|L)=\frac{P(L|A_{2})P(A_{2})}{P(L)} \\=\frac{0.01\times 0.50}{0.026} \\=0.192$

Thus, the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₂ is 0.192.

(d)

Compute the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₂ as follows:

$P(A_{3}|L)=\frac{P(L|A_{3})P(A_{3})}{P(L)} \\=\frac{0.05\times 0.10}{0.026} \\=0.192$

Thus, the probability that a parcel was late was being shipped through the overnight mail service A₃ is 0.192.

On a piece of paper, graph f(x) = 4 x (0.5)^x

tangare [24]

The complete question is

"On a piece of paper, graph f(x) = 4. (0.5)^x Then determine which answer choice matches the graph you drew."

The given function is an exponential function. The graph of option C is the correct answer.

<h3>What are exponential functions?</h3>

When the expression of function is such that it involves the input to be present as an exponent (power) of some constant, then such function is called exponential function.

There usual form is specified below. They are written in several such equivalent forms.

For example, $y^x$
