Mating eagle pairs typically have two baby eagles (called eaglets). When there are two eaglets, the parents always feed the olde

r eaglet until it has had its fill, and then they feed the younger eaglet. This results in an unequal chance of survival for the two eaglets. Suppose that the older eaglet has a 50 percent chance of survival. If the older eaglet survives, the younger eaglet has a 10 percent chance of survival. If the older eaglet does not survive, the younger eaglet has a 30 percent chance of survival. Let X be the number of eaglets that survive. Which of the following tables shows the probability distribution of X?A. x 0 1 2 p(x) 1/3 1/3 1/3B. x 0 1 2 p(x) 1/4 1/2 1/4C. x 0 1 2 p(x) 0.35 0.60 0.05D. x 0 1 2 p(x) 0.05 0.90 0.05E. x 0 1 2 p(x) 0.10 0.30 0.50

Answer:

C. x 0 1 2 p(x) 0.35 0.60 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

50% chance of survival

Let:

x = older eaglet survive

y = younger eaglet survive

Hence,

P(x = 0) (none of the eaglet survive)

P(x = 1) (only one survive)

P(x = 2) (both survive)

P(x) = 0.5

P(x') = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

P(x n y) = 0.5 * 0.1 = 0.05 ( both survive)

P(only one survive)

P(y n x') + p(y' n x)

(0.5 * 0.3) + (0.5 * (1 - 0.1))

0.15 + 0.45 = 0.6

P(none survives)

1 - (0.60 + 0.05)

= 0.35

X _______ 0 ______ 1 ______ 2

P(x) ____ 0.35 ____ 0.60 ___ 0.05

New York City is approximately 205 miles from Washington, D.C. How far apart will these cities appear on a map with the scale 1
gavmur [86]

Answer: 4.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that New York City is approximately 205 miles from Washington, D.C.

The distance that these cities will appear on a map with the scale 1 in: 50 miles will be represented by x.

Therefore, x:205 = 1:50

Cross multiply

x/205 = 1/50

50x = 205

x = 205/50

x = 4.1 inches

The answer is 4.1 inches

Translate this sentence into an equation.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

r - 12 = 74

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between his height with 12 would signify subtraction with 12, and that difference is 74. Meaning, his height, minus 12, would equal 74.

Select all that apply. Select the formulas that give the amount P in the account after the first period.
Lisa [10]

Options :

a.) P=1.005Po

b.) P=1.02Po

c.) P=Po(0.02/4)

d.) P=Po(4.02/4)

e.) P=Po(1+ 0.02/4)

Answer:

a.) P=1.005Po

d.) e.) P=Po(1+ 0.02/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the compound interest formula:

P = P0(1 + r/n)^t

Rate = 2% = 2/100 = 0.02

n = Number of compounding times per period, quarterly ; n = (12 /3) months

P = P0(1 + 0.02/4)^1

P = p0(1 + 0.02/4)

Simplifying further :

P = P0(1 + 0.005)

P = p0(1.005)
