Answer: £784.08

Step-by-step explanation:

First find 1% of 800, which is 800/100=£8

800-8= £792 after 1 year

find 1% of 792, which is 792/100=£7.92

792-7.92= £784.08

An individual repeatedly attempts to pass a driving test. Suppose that the probability of passing the test with each attempt is

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

a) Our random variable X="number of tests taken until the individual passes" follows a geomteric distribution with probability of success p=0.25

For this case the probability mass function would be given by:

$P(X= k) = (1-p)^{k-1} p , k = 1,2,3,...$

b) $P(X \leq 3) = P(X=1) +P(X=2) +P(X=3)$

$P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25$

$P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875$

$P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406$

And adding the values we got:

$P(X \leq 3) =0.25+0.1875+0.1406=0.578$

c) $P(X \geq 5) = 1-P(X$

And we can find the individual probabilities:

$P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25$

$P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875$

$P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406$

$P(X= 4) = (1-0.25)^{4-1} *0.25 = 0.1055$

$P(X \geq 5) = 1-[0.25+0.1875+0.1406+0.1055]= 0.316$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"

$P(X=x)=(1-p)^{x-1} p$

Let X the random variable that measures the number of trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:

$X\sim Geo (1-p)$

Part a

Our random variable X="number of tests taken until the individual passes" follows a geomteric distribution with probability of success p=0.25

For this case the probability mass function would be given by:

$P(X= k) = (1-p)^{k-1} p , k = 1,2,3,...$

Part b

We want this probability:

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X=1) +P(X=2) +P(X=3)$

We find the individual probabilities like this:

$P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25$

$P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875$

$P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406$

And adding the values we got:

$P(X \leq 3) =0.25+0.1875+0.1406=0.578$

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X \geq 5)$

And we can use the complement rule like this:

$P(X \geq 5) = 1-P(X$

And we can find the individual probabilities:

$P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25$

$P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875$

$P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406$

$P(X= 4) = (1-0.25)^{4-1} *0.25 = 0.1055$

$P(X \geq 5) = 1-[0.25+0.1875+0.1406+0.1055]= 0.316$

Joel can run around a 14– mi track in 81 sec, and Jason can run around the track in 69 sec. If the runners start at the same poi

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:37.2 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Joel takes 81 sec for 14 mile long track

speed of joel $\frac{14}{1.35}$ mi/min=10.37 mi/min

Jason takes 69 sec for 14 mi track

so jason speed is $\frac{14}{1.15} mi/min=12.17 mi/min$

if both starts from same spot in opposite direction then

$\frac{x}{10.37}=\frac{14-x}{12.17}$

where x is distance covered by Joel

then x=6.44 miles

therefore time required

$t=\frac{6.44}{10.37}=0.621 min\approx 37.2 sec$

Tell whether the table of values represents a linear function, an exponential function, or a quadratic funtion

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if it is linear then it will be a straight line(gradient is the same)

if quadratic then curve(gradeint isnt the same)

y=mx+c

m=[y(2)-y(1)]/[x(2)-x(1)]

you can choose any 2 points from the table

m=2-0.4/0-1

m=-1.6

repeat but 2 different coordinates

m=0.4-0.08/-1--2==>-2.24

m=-2.24

different coordinate therefore quadratic

cant be exponential, because nothing is being raised to some power

Jackson is two times older than Shelly. If the sum of their ages is 18, how old is Jackson?

salantis [7]

Answer: jackson is 12

explanation:
let the age be represented by x
jackson is 2 times older than shelly so
2x is jackson’s age and x is shelly’s age

since the sum of their ages is 18 then:
2x + x = 18

solve:
3x = 18 ➔ divide by 3 on both sides
x = 6

so now we know shelly is 6

jackson is 2 times older than her so:
2(6) = 12
