An oil exploration company currently has two active projects, one in Asia and the other in Europe. Let A be the event that the A

sian project is successful and B be the event that the European project is successful. Suppose that A and B are independent events with P(A) = 0.5 and P(B) = 0.3. (a) If the Asian project is not successful, what is the probability that the European project is also not successful? Explain your reasoning. Since the events are independent, then A′ and B′ are not independent. Since the events are independent, then A′ and B′ are independent. Since the events are not independent, then A′ and B′ are mutually exclusive. Since the events are independent, then A′ and B′ are mutually exclusive. (b) What is the probability that at least one of the two projects will be successful? (c) Given that at least one of the two projects is successful, what is the probability that only the Asian project is successful? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

0.7 ; 0.65 ; 0.115

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A) = 0.5 ; P(B) = 0.3

P(not successful) = P(B') = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7 ; P(A') = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

1.)

Both events are independent events, hence the outcome of one does not depend on the other. That is the failure of the Asian project has nothing to do with the European project.

Probability that European project isn't successful;

P(B') = 1 - P(B) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

2.)

Probability that atleast one of the 2 projects is successful :

P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AnB)

P(AnB) = P(A) * P(B) = 0.5 * 0.3 = 0.15

P(AUB) = 0.5 + 0.3 - 0.15 = 0.65

3.)

Probability that only the Asian project is successful, given that atleast one of the two projects is successful :

[P(A) - P(AnB)] ÷ P(AuB)

[0.5 * 0.15] ÷ 0.65

= 0.075 ÷ 0.65

= 0.1153846

= 0.115

Use the normal distribution and the given sample results to complete the test of the given hypotheses. Assume the results come f
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.64 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{75}}}=2.43  

Now we can calculate the p value with the following probability:

p_v =P(z>2.43)=0.0075 \approx 0.008  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true proportion for this case is higher than 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=75 represent the random sample taken

\hat p=0.64 estimated proportion of interest

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic

p_v represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We want to verify if the true proportion is higher than 0.5:  

Null hypothesis:p =0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.5  

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

z=\frac{0.64 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{75}}}=2.43  

Now we can calculate the p value with the following probability:

p_v =P(z>2.43)=0.0075 \approx 0.008  

Since the p value is lower than the significance level we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true proportion for this case is higher than 0.5

Rhonda can travel 45 miles in 3 hours while on her skateboard. at this rate, how many hours does it take to travel 1 mile
Rasek [7]

The question is relating Rhonda's distance travelled and time taken

If 45 miles = 3 hours

Then, 1 mile = 3/45 hours

=\frac{1}{15}

Therefore, it will take Rhonda 1/15 hours to travel 1 mile.
