A taxi driver provides service in two zones of a city. Fares picked up in zone A will have destinations in zone A with a probabi

lity of 0.6 or in zone B with a probability of 0.4. Fares picked up in zone B will have destinations in zone A with a probability of 0.3 or in zone B with a probability of 0.7. The driver's expected profit for a trip entirely in zone A is 6; for a trip entirely in zone B is 8, and for a trip that involves both zones is 12. Find the taxi driver's average profit per trip.

Answer:

The taxi driver's average profit per trip is 4.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of fares picked up in zone A with destinations in zone A = 0.6

Probability of fares picked up in zone A with destinations in zone B = 0.4

Probability of fares picked up in zone B with destinations in zone A = 0.3

Probability of fares picked up in zone B with destinations in zone B = 0.7

The driver's expected profit for a trip entirely in zone A = 6

The driver's expected profit for a trip entirely in zone B = 8

The driver's expected profit for a trip involving both zones is 12

The taxi driver's average profit per trip:

zone A with destinations in zone A = 0.6 * 6 = 3.6

zone A with destinations in zone B = 0.4 * 12 = 4.8

zone B with destinations in zone A = 0.3 * 12 = 3.6

zone B with destinations in zone B = 0.7 * 8 = 5.6

Total profit expected for 4 trips = 17.6

Average profit per trip = 4.4 (17.6/4)

Plssss answer… for math

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Graph A is a function, and Graph B is not

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is when each x-value (aka input) has 1 corresponding y-value (or output).

We see that graph 1 is linear, and that each x-value has it's own y-value, and not multiple y-values.

However, Graph B curves, making it so some of the x-values have more than 1 y-value.

In a manufacturing process, a machine produces bolts that have an average length of 5 inches with a variance of .08. If we rando

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu , \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

And replacing:

$\mu_{\bar X}= 5$

And the deviation:

$\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{0.283}{\sqrt{5}}= 0.126$

And the distribution is given:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu= 0.08, \sigma= 0.126)$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given :

$\mu= 5. \sigma^2 =0.08$

And the deviation would be $\sigma = \sqrt{0.08}= 0.283$

For this case we select a sample size of n = 5 and the distirbution for the sample mean would be:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu , \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

And replacing:

$\mu_{\bar X}= 5$

And the deviation:

$\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{0.283}{\sqrt{5}}= 0.126$

And the distribution is given:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu= 0.08, \sigma= 0.126)$
