Hi

5x²-x-4 = 0

Δ= (-1)² - 4*5*(-4)

Δ = 1 -4*-20

Δ = 1 +80

Δ = 81

√Δ= 9

as Δ ≥ 0 , so 2 solutions exist in R

S1 is : ( 1+9) /2*5 = 10/10 = 1

s2 = (1 -9)/2*5 = -8/10 = -4*2 /2*5 = -4/5

Corrects answers are A and D

10% of the downtown residents of a town in the Plains live in mobile homes. Based on data from past tornadoes, if a tornado goes

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The probability a person will not live in a mobile home if they do not die as a result of the tornado is 0.9265.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = a person lives in a mobile home.

<em>Y</em> = a person dies as a result of tornado.

Given:

$P(X)=0.10\\P(Y|X) = 0.30\\P(Y|X^{c})=0.02\\$

Compute the value of $P(Y^{c}|X^{c})$ as follows:

$P(Y^{c}|X^{c})=1-P(Y|X^{c})\\=1-0.02\\=0.98$

Compute the probability that a person dies as a result of tornado as follows:

$P(Y)=P(Y|X)P(X)+P(Y|X^{c})P(X^{c})\\=(0.30\times0.10)+(0.02\times(1-0.10))\\=0.03+0.018\\=0.048$

Then the probability that a person does not dies as a result of tornado is:

$P(Y^{c})=1-P(Y)\\=1-0.048\\=0.952$

Compute the value of $P(X^{c}|Y^{c})$ as follows:

$P(X^{c}|Y^{c})=\frac{P(Y^{c}|X^{c})P(X^{c})}{P(Y^{c})}=\frac{0.98\times(1-0.10)}{0.952}=0.9265$

Thus, the probability a person will not live in a mobile home if they do not die as a result of the tornado is 0.9265.
