Answer:

<em>The actual distance between the cities is 1,200 Km</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling </u>

Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is multiplying or dividing real dimensions by a constant factor. We use scaling when representing geographic locations on a map.

We are given the scale on a map as 1:20,000,000.

Two cities are 6 cm on the map. The actual distance is obtained by multiplying:

6 * 20,000,000 = 120,000,000 cm

Divide by 100 to convert to meters and by 1,000 to convert to km 120,000,000/100/1,000=1,200 Km

The actual distance between the cities is 1,200 Km

If you divide the total distance traveled on a car trip (as determined by the odometer) by the elapsed time of the trip, are you
PSYCHO15rus [73]

In general, you're calculating the magnitude of average velocity. In fact, speed is a vector, and as such it also has a direction and orientation.

So, if you compute the average speed, you're assuming that you went directly from point A to point B, which is basically never the case.

If, instead, you actually moved on a straight line from point A to point B, then the two quantities are the same.

Rabies is a viral disease of mammals transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The virus infects the central nervous syste
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

(a) The value of <em>x</em> is 0.30.

(b) The probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

(c) The probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox is 0.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>R</em> = reported case of rabies is a raccoon

<em>F</em> = reported case of rabies is a fox

<em>B</em> = reported case of rabies is a bat

<em>O</em> = reported case of rabies is a some other animal.

The data provided is:

P (R) = 0.55

P (F) = 0.11

P (B) = 0.04

P (O) = <em>x</em>.

(a)

A property of a probability distribution is that the sum of all individual properties is 1.

That is, \sum P(X)=1

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

\sum P(X)=1\\P(R)+P(F)+P(B)+P(O)=1\\0.55+0.11+0.04+x=1\\0.70+x=1\\x=1-0.70\\x=0.30

Thus, the value of <em>x</em> is 0.30.

(b)

The probability of the complement of an event is the probability of its not happening.

P(A^{c})=1-P(A)

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon as follows:

P(R^{c})=1-P(R)\\=1-0.55\\=0.45

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

(c)

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox as follows:

P(B\cup F)=P(B)+P(F)\\=0.11+0.04\\=0.15

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox is 0.15.
