g Use the information below for questions 1 through 5. A San Francisco-based tech firm is able to keep 80% of its new employees

after one year. Assume that the retention probability of each new employee is independent of other employees. Q1. What is the chance that two randomly sampled new employees will both be able to survive their first year

Answer:

0.64 = 64% probability that two randomly sampled new employees will both be able to survive their first year

Step-by-step explanation:

For each employee, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they survive the first year, or they do not. The probability of an employee surviving the first year is independent of other employees. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

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.

A San Francisco-based tech firm is able to keep 80% of its new employees after one year.

This means that p = 0.8

Q1. What is the chance that two randomly sampled new employees will both be able to survive their first year

This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So

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

P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.8)^{2}.(0.2)^{0} = 0.64

0.64 = 64% probability that two randomly sampled new employees will both be able to survive their first year

A math class is having a discussion on how to determine if the expressions 4 x minus x + 5 and 8 minus 3 x minus 3 are equivalen
Brut [27]

Answer:

  • Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given expressions</u>

  • 4x - x + 5 = 3x + 5
  • 8 - 3x - 3 = -3x + 5

Compared, we see the expressions are different as 3x and -3x have different coefficient

<u>Answer options</u>

Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are both positive, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

  • Incorrect. Positive outcome doesn't mean equivalent

----------------------------------------

Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

  • Incorrect. There are 2 values- variable and constant

----------------------------------------

Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are positive, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

  • Incorrect. Positive outcome doesn't mean equivalent.

----------------------------------------

Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

  • Correct.

Determine weather the pair of sets is equal ,equivalent,both or neither
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

The sets are not equal since computer science is not the same as algebra.

Equal means exactly the same

Equivalent means they have the same number of items in them

If they are equal, they are equivalent

The ratio of dogs to cats in a park is 10 to 9. If there are 50 dogs then how many cats are there
serious [3.7K]
Knowing the ratio for dogs to cats is 10:9

To get to 50 dogs they multiplied 10x5

So multiply 9x5 as well to get the number of cats

Cats = 45

:) hope this helps
