Two of the most popular options on a certain type of new car are automatic transmission and built-in GPS. Suppose that 90% of al

l buyers request automatic transmission, 82% of all buyers request built-in GPS, and 77% of all buyers request both automatic transmission and built-in GPS. Hint: It may be useful to draw Venn diagrams for these. What is the probability that the next person to purchase this car will request at least one of automatic transmission or built-in GPS

Answer:

0.95 = 95% probability that the next person to purchase this car will request at least one of automatic transmission or built-in GPS

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question treating these probabilities as Venn sets.

I am going to say that:

Event A: Requesting automatic transmission

Event B: Requesting built-in GPS

90% of all buyers request automatic transmission

This means that P(A) = 0.9

82% of all buyers request built-in GPS

This means that P(B) = 0.82

77% of all buyers request both automatic transmission and built-in GPS.

This means that P(A \cap B) = 0.77

What is the probability that the next person to purchase this car will request at least one of automatic transmission or built-in GPS

This is P(A \cup B), which is given by:

P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)

So

P(A \cup B) = 0.9 + 0.82 - 0.77 = 0.95

0.95 = 95% probability that the next person to purchase this car will request at least one of automatic transmission or built-in GPS

Graph f(x)=2^x+1 and g(x)=−x+4 on the same coordinate plane.
12345 [234]

Given f(x)= 2^x +1

g(x)= -x +4

We have to find the value of x which satisfy the condetion : f(x)= g(x)

Solution : let us place expression given for f(x) and g(x) equal to each other

This gives us : 2^x + 1 = -x+ 4

Let us bring all x terms on left side only

we add x on both sides this makes : 2^x +1 +x = -x+ 4 +x

on the right side -x and +x becomes a "0"

we get : 2^x + 1 + x = 4

* let us nopw bring all the numeric terms on left side only

subtract 1 from both sides : 2^x + 1 + x - 1 = 4- 1

on the left side +1 and -1 becomes a "0"

on the rigth side 4-1 becomes a "3"

equation look like : 2^x + x = 3

We can see the right side is an odd number

on the left side there is sum of two terms one of them is 2^x which is an even number always .

we know that sum of an even number with an even number result out an even number

but we want a result as an odd number (3)

this suggest that x should be an odd number .

Also the sum of 2^x and x is 3 so 2^x should be smaller than 3

the smallest value ( x being an integer )

2^x can have is : 2^1= 2 which is for x=1

let us check plugging x= 1 . 2^1 + 1 = 3 which is TRUE

Hence answer is x= 1

Grace wants to find the probability of a family of 3 children having 2 boys and 1 girl. Use a tree diagram to list the possibili
pychu [463]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

My approach was to draw out the probabilities, since we have 3 children, and we are looking for 2 boys and 1 girl, the probabilities can be Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy. So a 2/3 chance if you think about it, your answer 2/3 can't be correct. If we assume that boys and girls are born with equal probability, then the probability to have two girls (and one boy) should be the same as the probability to have two boys and one girl. So you would have two cases with probability 2/3, giving an impossible 4/3 probability for both cases. Also, your list "Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy" seems strange. All of those are 2 boys and 1 girl, so based on that list, you should get a 100 percent chance. But what about Boy-Girl-Girl, or Girl-Girl-Girl? You get 2/3 if you assume that adjacencies in the (ordered) list are important, i.e., "2 boys and a girl" means that the girl was not born between the boys.
