A very weak university is on and off probationary status with the accrediting agency. A different procedure is used in July and

in January to determine its status for the next 6 months. In July, the probability of changing status by coming off probation is .25; but the probability of changing status by going on probation is .12. In January, the probability of coming off probation is .15; but the probability of going on probation is .08. a) If the university is on probation as of February 2019; what is the probability it will be off probation in February 2020

Answer:

0.3425 = 34.25% probability it will be off probation in February 2020

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these desired outcomes:

Off probation in July 2019, with 0.25 probability, then continuing off in January, with 1 - 0.08 = 0.92 probability.

Still in probation in July 2019, with 1 - 0.25 = 0.75 probability, then coming off in January, with 0.15 probability.

What is the probability it will be off probation in February 2020?

p = 0.25*0.92 + 0.75*0.15 = 0.3425

0.3425 = 34.25% probability it will be off probation in February 2020

Say a hacker has a list of n distinct password candidates, only one of which will successfully log her into a secure system. a.
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The probability is \frac{1}{n}

Step-by-step explanation:

If she has n distinct password candidates and only one of which will successfully log her into a secure system, the probability that her first first successful login will be on her k-th try is:

If k=1

P = \frac{1}{n}

Because, in her first try she has n possibles options and just one give her a successful login.

If k=2

P=\frac{n-1}{n} *\frac{1}{n-1} =\frac{1}{n}

Because, in her first try she has n possibles options and n-1 that are not correct, then, she has n-1 possibles options and 1 of that give her a successful login.

If k=3

P=\frac{n-1}{n} *\frac{n-2}{n-1} *\frac{1}{n-2} = \frac{1}{n}

Because, in her first try she has n possibles options and n-1 that are not correct, then, she has n-1 possibles options and n-2 that are not correct and after that, she has n-2 possibles options and 1 give her a successful login.

Finally, no matter what is the value of k, the probability that her first successful login will be (exactly) on her k-th try is 1/n

If 2a+ 2/a =4, what is the value of 2a^2− 2/a^2 ?
aliina [53]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

2a+ 2/a =4

Multiply each side by a to clear the fraction

a( 2a+ 2/a) =4*a

Distribute

2a^2 +2 = 4a

Subtract 4a from each side

2a^2 -4a +2 = 4a-4a

2a^2 -4a +2 =0

Divide by 2

2/2 a^2 -4a/2 +2/2 =0/2

a^2 -2a +1=0

Factor

(a-1) (a-1) =0

Using the zero product property

a=1

2a^2 -2/a^2

2(1)^2 -2/1^2

2-2

0
