(b) Claude
1 answer:
Answer:
i) 0.08 = 8% probability that the bus is late and Claude is late to school.
ii) 0.125 = 12.5% probability that Claude is late to school.
iii) Claude should expect to be late for 7 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) Calculate the probability that the bus is late and Claude is late to school.
0.1 probability that the bus is late.
If the bus is late, 0.8 probability that Claude is late to school. So
0.08 = 8% probability that the bus is late and Claude is late to school.
ii) Calculate the probability that Claude is late to school.
8%(when the bus is late) plus 0.05 of 1 - 0.01 = 0.9. So
0.125 = 12.5% probability that Claude is late to school.
iii) The school term lasts 56 days. How many days would Claude expect to be late?
12.5% of 56. So
0.125*56 = 7
Claude should expect to be late for 7 days.

The infinite sequence of geometric terms is divergent if you try to add up all the terms. Sure the first 20 terms will add up to a fixed number but this isn't true for an infinite number of terms. The reason why the infinite series diverges is because r = 1.1 is larger than 1. If r > 1 then the infinite series diverges. It only converges if -1 < r < 1.
To write this in sigma notation, you would write
which is the result of adding the terms of 100(1.1)^(n-1) for n = 1 all the way up to n = 20. You can compute this by hand or preferably with a calculator or spreadsheet program
