A salesperson contacts eight potential customers per day. From past experience, we know that the probability of a potential cust

Answer:

(a) The probability the salesperson will make exactly two sales in a day is 0.1488.

(b) The probability the salesperson will make at least two sales in a day is 0.1869.

(c) The percentage of days the salesperson does not makes a sale is 43.05%.

(d) The expected number of sales per day is 0.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of sales made by the salesperson.

The probability that a potential customer makes a purchase is 0.10.

The salesperson contacts n = 8 potential customers per day.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)={8\choose x}0.10^{x}(1-0.10)^{8-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...$

(a)

Compute the probability the salesperson will make exactly two sales in a day as follows:

$P(X=2)={8\choose 2}0.10^{2}(1-0.10)^{8-2}\\=28\times 0.01\times 0.5314\\=0.1488$

Thus, the probability the salesperson will make exactly two sales in a day is 0.1488.

(b)

Compute the probability the salesperson will make at least two sales in a day as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

$=1-{8\choose 0}0.10^{0}(1-0.10)^{8-0}-{8\choose 1}0.10^{1}(1-0.10)^{8-1}\\=1-0.4305-0.3826\\=0.1869$

Thus, the probability the salesperson will make at least two sales in a day is 0.1869.

(c)

Compute the probability that a salesperson does not makes a sale is:

$P(X=0)={8\choose 0}0.10^{0}(1-0.10)^{8-0}\\=8\times 1\times 0.4305\\=0.4305$

The percentage of days the salesperson does not makes a sale is,

0.4305 × 100 = 43.05%

Thus, the percentage of days the salesperson does not makes a sale is 43.05%.

(d)

Compute the expected number of sales per day as follows:

$E(X)=np=8\times 0.10=0.80$

Thus, the expected number of sales per day is 0.80.

If there is a 30% chance of sun tomorrow and a 40% chance of wind and no sun, what is the probability that it is windy, given th

slega [8]

A, 57%, because 0.40 divided by all possible outcomes, which is 0.70 because we know it will not be sunny tomorrow, is 0.57.

I don't really know on this one. I'm thinking it's because if T kept going it would go into a 3rd quadrant but I'm not too sure.

enyata [817]

That is correct since the line in T is not straight it would eventually hit the third quadrant

What is the surface area of the prism?

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Question 3: 582 ft²

Question 4: 348 in²

Step-by-step Explanation:

Question 3:

Consider the solid shape given as being consisting of two rectangular prism. With careful examination, you'd observe that the offer one beneath has dimensions, $l, w, h, as 15, 4, 9$

The second one has $l, w, h, as 6, 4, 6$

Surface area of the bigger rectangular prism = total surface area - area of the surface that is joined to the smaller rectangular prism.

Area of the face joined to the smaller rectangular prism = 4*6 = 24 ft²

Surface area of the bigger rectangular prism = $2(wl + hl + hw) - 24$

$2(4*15 + 9*15 + 9*4) - 24$

$462 - 24$

Surface area of the bigger rectangular prism = 438 ft²

Surface area of the smaller rectangular prism = total surface area of rectangular prism - area of the surface that is joined to the bigger rectangular prism.

= $2(wl + hl + hw) - 24$

$= 2(4*6 + 6*6 + 6*4) - 24$

$= 168 - 24 = 144 ft^2$

Surface area of the solid = 438 + 144 = 582 ft²

Question 4:

Surface area of the triangular prism is given as: 2(B.A) + P*L

Where,

B.A = area of 1 triangular base = ½*height of the triangle*base of the traingle

B.A = ½*6*16 = 3*16 = 48 in²

P = perimeter of 1 triangular base = sum of all sides of the triangle.

P = 16+10+10 = 36 in

L = length or height of prism =

Plug in the values to find surface area of the prism

Surface area = 2(B.A) + P*L

= 2(48) + 36*7 = 96 + 252 = 348 in²

Surface area of prism = 348 in²
