Captain Emily has a ship, the H.M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is five furlongs from the dread pirate Umaima and her merciless band

of thieves. If her ship hasn't already been hit, Captain Emily has probability \dfrac{3}{5} 5 3 ​ start fraction, 3, divided by, 5, end fraction of hitting the pirate ship. If her ship has been hit, Captain Emily will always miss. If her ship hasn't already been hit, dread pirate Umaima has probability \dfrac{1}{7} 7 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 7, end fraction of hitting the Captain's ship.

Answer:

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = 0.514

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the captain hits the pirate ship

The probability of the captain hitting the pirate ship, P(A) = 3/5

Let B be the event that the pirate hits the captain's ship

The probability of the pirate hitting the captain's ship P(B) = 1/7

The probability of the pirate missing the captain's ship, P'(B) = 1 - P(B)

P'(B) = 1 - 1/7 = 6/7

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = P(A) * P(B) = 3/5 * 6/7

= 0.514

Answer:

$3,000 was invested in the account that gained 13%

$17,500 was invested in the account that lost 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount in both accounts be x and y

x for the first and y for the second

Adding both is 20,500

x + y = 20,500 •••••(i)

First account earned 13% profit

= 13/100 * x = 0.13x

Second account, a loss of 10%

= -10/100 * y = -0.1y

Total loss of -1,360

This is;

-0.1y + 0.13x = -1,360 •••••••(ii)

From i, x = 20,500-y

Insert this into ii

-0.1y + 0.13(20,500-y) = -1,360

-0.1y + 2665 -0.13y = -1360

-0.23y = -1360-2665

-0.23y = -4025

y = -4025/-0.23

y = 17,500

To get x, we have

x = 20,500 -y

x = 20,500- 17,500

x = 3,000
