Answer:

The probability that both A and B occur is P = 0.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Both events A and B have a probability p of occurring.

Then both events A and B have a probability (1 - p) of NOT occurring.

The probability that neither A or B occurs is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, and this is equal to 0.81, then:

(1 - p)*(1 - p) = 0.81

1 - 2*p + p^2 = 0.81

p^2 - 2*p + 0.19 = 0

We can solve this if we use Bhaskara's equation, the two solutions are:

p = \frac{-(-2) +- \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4*1*0.19} }{2*1}  = \frac{2 + - 1.8}{2}

Then the two solutions are:

p = (2 + 1.8)/2 = 3.8/2 = 1.9

A probability must be a number between zero and one, and this is larger than one, so this solution can be discarded.

the other solution is:

p = (2 - 1.8)/2 = 0.2/2 = 0.1

This means that the probability that event A occurs is p = 0.1

And the probability that event B occurs is p = 0.1

The probability that both events occur is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, which is:

P = 0.1*0.1 = 0.01

Kara used the linear model y=45,000+ 0.05x to predict her total salary from achieving total sales of x.
hoa [83]

Answer:

45,000 is the starting salary with zero sales

.05 is the amount multiplied by the number of sales that is added to her salary

For each sale we add .05 to her salary

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 45,000 +.05x

Rewriting as

y = .05x +45,000

This is in slope intercept form ( y=mx+b) where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

.05 is the slope and 45,000 is the y intercept

45,000 is the starting salary with zero sales

.05 is the amount multiplied by the number of sales that is added to her salary

For each sale we add .05 to her salary

Help please<br> n/9 + 2/3 = -2/3
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

n = - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

n/9 + 2/3 = - 2/3

n/9 = - 2/3 - 2/3

n/9 = - 4/3

n = 9(- 4/3)

n = -36/3

n = - 12

Sociology graduates, upon entering the workforce are normally distributed and earn a mean salary of $30,000 with a standard devi
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

0.62% probability that randomly chosen salary exceeds $40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed distributions are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

\mu = 30000, \sigma = 4000

What is the probability that randomly chosen salary exceeds $40,000

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 40000. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{40000 - 30000}{4000}

Z = 2.5

Z = 2.5 has a pvalue of 0.9938

1 - 0.9938 = 0.0062

0.62% probability that randomly chosen salary exceeds $40,000
