After a 13% price reduction, a boat sold for $25,230. What was the boat's price before the reduction? (Round to the nearest cent

sashaice [31]

Answer:

The boat's price before the reduction was $ 29,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that after a 13% price reduction, a boat sold for $ 25,230, to determine what was the boat's price before the reduction, the following calculation must be performed:

100 - 13 = 87

87 = 25230

100 = X

100 x 25 230/87 = X

2523000/87 = X

29000 = X

Therefore, the boat's price before the reduction was $ 29,000.

Suppose that bugs are present in 1% of all computer programs. A computer de-bugging program detects an actual bug with probabili

lawyer [7]

Answer:

(i) The probability that there is a bug in the program given that the de-bugging program has detected the bug is 0.3333.

(ii) The probability that the bug is actually present given that the de-bugging program claims that bugs are present on both the first and second tests is 0.1111.

(iii) The probability that the bug is actually present given that the de-bugging program claims that bugs are present on all three tests is 0.037.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

B = bugs are present in a computer program.

D = a de-bugging program detects the bug.

The information provided is:

$P(B) =0.01\\P(D|B)=0.99\\P(D|B^{c})=0.02$

(i)

The probability that there is a bug in the program given that the de-bugging program has detected the bug is, P (B | D).

The Bayes' theorem states that the conditional probability of an event E given that another event X has already occurred is:

$P(E|X)=\frac{P(X|E)P(E)}{P(X|E)P(E)+P(X|E^{c})P(E^{c})}$

Use the Bayes' theorem to compute the value of P (B | D) as follows:

$P(B|D)=\frac{P(D|B)P(B)}{P(D|B)P(B)+P(D|B^{c})P(B^{c})}=\frac{(0.99\times 0.01)}{(0.99\times 0.01)+(0.02\times (1-0.01))}=0.3333$

Thus, the probability that there is a bug in the program given that the de-bugging program has detected the bug is 0.3333.

(ii)

The probability that a bug is actually present given that the de-bugging program claims that bug is present is:

P (B|D) = 0.3333

Now it is provided that two tests are performed on the program A.

Both the test are independent of each other.

The probability that the bug is actually present given that the de-bugging program claims that bugs are present on both the first and second tests is:

P (Bugs are actually present | Detects on both test) = P (B|D) × P (B|D)

$=0.3333\times 0.3333\\=0.11108889\\\approx 0.1111$

Thus, the probability that the bug is actually present given that the de-bugging program claims that bugs are present on both the first and second tests is 0.1111.

(iii)

Now it is provided that three tests are performed on the program A.

All the three tests are independent of each other.

The probability that the bug is actually present given that the de-bugging program claims that bugs are present on all three tests is:

P (Bugs are actually present | Detects on all 3 test)

= P (B|D) × P (B|D) × P (B|D)

$=0.3333\times 0.3333\times 0.3333\\=0.037025927037\\\approx 0.037$

Thus, the probability that the bug is actually present given that the de-bugging program claims that bugs are present on all three tests is 0.037.

The measures of two pairs of corresponding angles of two triangles are 24 degrees and 55 degrees. Explain why the two triangles

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Are the two triangles below similar?

Triangles ABC and DEF are shown. Angle A measure 30 degrees, angle C measure 65 degrees, side AC measures 14, side AB measures

Yes, because there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles

No, because there are not two pairs of congruent corresponding angles

Yes, because the corresponding sides are proportional

No, because the corresponding sides are not proportional

An aircraft factory manufactures airplane engines. The unit cost (the cost in dollars to make each airplane engine) depends on t

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Minimum unit cost = 5,858

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function : C(x)=x^2−520x+73458

To find the minimum unit cost :

Take the derivative of C(x) with respect to x

dC/dx = 2x - 520

Set = 0

2x - 520

2x = 520

x = 260

To minimize unit cost, 260 engines must be produced

Hence, minimum unit cost will be :

C(x)=x^2−520x+73458

Put x = 260

C(260) = 260^2−520(260) + 73458

= 5,858
