Traffic data revealed that 35 percent of automobiles traveling along a portion of an interstate highway were exceeding the legal

speed limit. using highway cameras and license plate registrations, it was also determined that 52 percent of sports cars were also speeding along the same portion of the highway. what is the probability that a randomly selected car along the same portion of the highway was a speeding sports car?

The probability that a randomly selected car along the same portion of the highway was a speeding sports car \boxed{0.182{\text{ or 18}}{\text{.2\%}}}.

Further Explanation:

The independent probabilities of two sets can be calculated as follows,

\boxed{P\left({A \cap B}\right)=P\left(A\right)\times P\left(B\right)}.

Here, A represents the first event and B represents the second event.

Given:

In traffic data there are 35 percent of automobiles.

There 52 percent of sports cars that are speeding on the highway.

Calculation:

Let A denote the event that a vehicle travelling on the highway is an automobile.

The probability of event A can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}P\left(A\right)&=35\%\\&=0.35\\\end{aligned}

Let B denote the event that an automobile is a speeding sports car.

The probability of event B can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}P\left(B\right)&=52\%\\&=0.52\\\end{aligned}

The probability that a randomly selected car along the same portion of the highway was a speeding sports car can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Probability}}&=0.52\times0.35\\&=0.182\\\end{aligned}

The probability that a randomly selected car along the same portion of the highway was a speeding sports car \boxed{0.182{\text{ or 18}}{\text{.2\%}}}.

This is a typo and vaguely phrased. However, the closest to a direct solution is to think of it as follows: 35% of the cars are speeding. Out of these, 52% of the cars are also speeding. Hence, the result of cars that are both speeding and speed cars is 0.52*0.35=0.182

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The major condition that needs to be satisfied before a t-test is performed that the question satisfies easily is the use of random sampling to obtain sample data.

Step-by-step explanation:

The major conditions necessary to conduct a t-test about a mean include;

- The sample extracted from the population must be extracted using random sampling. That is, the sample must be a random sample of the population.

- The sampling distribution must be normal or approximately normal. This is achievable when the population distribution is normal or approximately normal.

- Each observation in the sample data must have an independent outcome. That is, the outcome/result of each sub-data mustn't depend on one another.

Of the three conditions that need to be satisfied before the conduction of a t-test, the first condition about using a random sampling technique is evidently satisfied.

It is stated in the question that 'A private investigator hired by a competitor takes a random sample of 47 games and tries to determine if there are more than 7 glitches per game'.

Hope this Helps!!!

Solve −2(n+3)−4=8 . The solution is n= .
Anton [14]

Answer:

n= -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

-2(n + 3) + -4 = 8

Reorder the terms:

-2(3 + n) + -4 = 8

(3 * -2 + n * -2) + -4 = 8

(-6 + -2n) + -4 = 8

Reorder the terms:

-6 + -4 + -2n = 8

Combine like terms: -6 + -4 = -10

-10 + -2n = 8

Solving

-10 + -2n = 8

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '10' to each side of the equation.

-10 + 10 + -2n = 8 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0

0 + -2n = 8 + 10

-2n = 8 + 10

Combine like terms: 8 + 10 = 18

-2n = 18

Divide each side by '-2'.

n = -9

Simplifying

n = -9
