Answer:

2.98×10^-6 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance/Time

Time = Distance/speed

Given

Distance = 17in

Speed= 90mph

Convert inches to miles

1in = 1.578 × 10-5 mile

17in = 17(1.578 × 10-5) mile

17in = 26.826×10^-5miles

Get the time

Time =26.826×10^-5/90

Time = 0.298×10^-5

Time = 2.98×10^-6 hrs

School A has 480 students and 16 classrooms. School B has 192 students and 12 classrooms.
boyakko [2]

Answer:96

Step-by-step explanation:

A; 480/16 = 30 students per classroom

B: 192/12 =16 students per classroom

we need x such that \frac{480-x}{16} = \frac{192+x}{12}

which means

(480-x )* 12 should be equal to (192+x) * 16

5,760 - 12x = 3,072+16x

5,760 - 3,072 = 12x + 16x

2,688 = 28x

x = 96

A salesperson contacts eight potential customers per day. From past experience, we know that the probability of a potential cust
AlexFokin [52]

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 <em>X</em> = number of sales made by the salesperson.

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

The salesperson contacts <em>n</em> = 8 potential customers per day.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> and <em>p</em>.

The probability mass function of <em>X</em> 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.

Events A and B have probabilities such that P(A) = 0.3, P(B) = 0.25, P(M ∪ N) = 0.425, and P(M ∩ N) = 0.075. Are events A and ev
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

(C)Yes, because P(M) ∙ P(N) = P(M ∩ N)

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events A and B are independent if P(A)P(B)=P(A ∩ B)

Given events A and B such that:

P(A) = 0.3, P(B) = 0.25, P(A ∪ B) = 0.425, and P(A ∩ B) = 0.075

  • P(A)P(B)=0.3 X 0.25 =0.075
  • P(A ∩ B) = 0.075

Since the two expression above gives the same answer, they are independent.

<u>The correct option is C.</u>

What is the value of 4/15, divided by, 2/ 3?<br> help plzzz
fgiga [73]

Answer: 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:  Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes

The, multiply the numerators and denominators and get 12/30, then simply by 6 and get 2/5

Point Q is plotted on the coordinate grid. Point P is at (10, −20). Point R is vertically above point Q. It is at the same dista
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Point R is at (−20, 10), a distance of 30 units from point Q

Step-by-step explanation:

Q has coordinates (-20,-20).

P has coordinates (10,-20)

Since point R is vertically above point Q, it will have the same x-coordinate as Q.

Let R have coordinates (-20,y).

It was given that;

|RQ|=|PQ|

\Rightarrow |y--20|=|10--20|

\Rightarrow y+20=10+20

\Rightarrow y=10+20-20

\Rightarrow y=10.

The coordinates of R are (-20,10).

The dstance from Q is 30 units.
