All bags entering a research facility are screened. The screening process is not perfect so that 77% of the bags that contain fo

rbidden material trigger an alarm and 20% of the bags that do not contain forbidden material also trigger the alarm. If 69% of bags entering the building contains forbidden material,

Answer:

(1) 0.5933

(2) 0.8955

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that all bags entering a research facility are screened.

Let Probability that bags entering the building contains forbidden material,

 P(F) = 0.69

Probability that bags entering the building does not contains forbidden material,   P(NF) = 1 - 0.69 = 0.31

Let event A = alarm gets triggered

Probability that alarm gets trigger given the bags contain forbidden material, P(A/F) = 0.77

Probability that alarm gets trigger given the bags does not contain forbidden material, P(A/NF) = 0.20

(1) Probability that a bag triggers the alarm, P(A) ;

         P(A) = P(F) * P(A/F) + P(NF) * P(A/NF)

                 = (0.69 * 0.77) + (0.31 * 0.20) = 0.5313 + 0.062

                 = 0.5933

Therefore, probability that a bag triggers the alarm is 0.5933 .

(2) Probability that a bag that triggers the alarm will actually contain forbidden material is given by P(F/A) ;

Using Bayes' Theorem;

    P(F/A) = \frac{P(F) * P(A/F)}{P(F) * P(A/F) + P(NF) *P(A/NF)} = \frac{0.69*0.77}{0.69*0.77+0.31*0.20} = \frac{0.5313}{0.5933}

               = 0.8955

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

0.0791

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that  the probability of white eyes is 1/4 and the probability of red eyes is 3/4, for an individual fly.

Observations are independent

Let A be finding the white eyed fly and B

finding the red eyed fly

P(A) for any random trial= 0.25 and

P(B) = 0.75

Each trial is independent of the other

The probability that at least four flies have to be checked for eye color to observe a white-eyed fly

=Probability for I, II, III and Iv flies to have red eyes * Prob for 5th fly to have white eye

=0.75^4(0.25)\\=0.0791

Dishwashers are on sale for 25% off the original price (d), which can be expressed with the function p(d) = 0.75d. Local taxes a
shutvik [7]

We are given the functions:

<span>P (d) = 0.75 d                                      ---> 1</span>

<span>C (P) = 1.14 P                                      ---> 2</span>

The problem asks us to find for the final price after discount and taxes applied; therefore we have to find the composite function of the two given functions 1 and 2. To solve for composite function of the final price of the dishwasher with the discount and taxes applied, all we have to do is to plug in the value of P (d) with variable d into the equation of C (P). That is:

C (P) = 1.14 (0.75 d)

C (P) = 0.855 d

or

<span>C [P (d)] = 0.855 d</span>

LOOK AT PICTURE. VOLUME OF CAN PROBLEM
adoni [48]

Answer:

The correct answer is third option.  994

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Points to remember</u>

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

Where 'r' is the radius and 'h' is the height of cylinder

From the given question we get the cylinder height and radius

The height h = 3 times the diameter of one ball

 = 3 * 7.5 = 22.5 cm

Radius = half of the diameter of a ball

 = 7.5/2 = 3.75 cm

<u>To find the volume of cylinder</u>

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

 = 3.14 * 3.75² * 22.5

 = 993.515 ≈ 994

The correct answer is third option.  994

Which value of x makes the inequality -* &lt; 8 true?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

D: x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Go down the multiple choices answers and plug each value in for x until the inequality is true:

A:

1/4(32) < 8

1/4 × 32/1 < 8

32/4 < 8

8 < 8

8 is not less than 8 so this is false (8 = 8).

B:

1/4(35) < 8

35/4 < 8

8 3/4 < 8

8 3/4 is not less than 8 so this is false (8 3/4 > 8).

C:

1/4(34) < 8

34/4 < 8

8 2/4 < 8

8 2/4 is not less than 8 so this is false (8 2/4 > 8).

D:

1/4(2) < 8

2/4 < 8

2/4 is less than 8 so this is true (2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5 > 8).
