Answer:

1.80% probability that in a random sample of 12 major Denver bridges, at least 4 will have an inspection rating of 4 or below in 2020.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each bridge, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it has rating of 4 or below, or it does not. The probability of a bridge being rated 4 or below is independent from other bridges. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

For the year 2020, the engineers forecast that 9% of all major Denver bridges will have ratings of 4 or below.

This means that $p = 0.09$

Use the forecast to find the probability that in a random sample of 12 major Denver bridges, at least 4 will have an inspection rating of 4 or below in 2020.

Either less than 4 have a rating of 4 or below, or at least 4 does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1.

So

$P(X < 4) + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 4)$

So

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4)$

In which

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.09)^{0}.(0.91)^{12} = 0.3225$

$P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.09)^{1}.(0.91)^{11} = 0.3827$

$P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.09)^{2}.(0.91)^{10} = 0.2082$

$P(X = 3) = C_{12,3}.(0.09)^{3}.(0.91)^{9} = 0.0686$

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.3225 + 0.3827 + 0.2082 + 0.0686 = 0.982$

Finally

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4) = 1 - 0.982 = 0.0180$

1.80% probability that in a random sample of 12 major Denver bridges, at least 4 will have an inspection rating of 4 or below in 2020.

Use Inverse operations to solve the expression. Enter your answer in simplest form. y 1 =8 16

vredina [299]

So we are trying to get the “y” alone, so to undo the division by -8, we will multiply both sides by -8, then simplify.

(-8) y/(-8) = (-8) 1/16

y = -8/16

and simplified:

y = -1/2

You see a news headline which claims that tuition at CSU San Jose is going to increase by 7% next year. If tuition for in-state

wolverine [178]

The tuition would be $6143.94 next year

<h3>How to detemrine the tuition amount?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Current amount = $5,742
Rate of increment, r = 7%

The tuition next year is then calculated as:

Tuition = Current * (1 + Rate)

This gives

Tuition = $5,742 * (1 + 7%)

Evaluate

Tuition = $6143.94

Hence, the tuition would be $6143.94 next year
