A company has 8 mechanics and 6 electricians. If an employee is selected at random, what is the probability that they are an electrician

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Probability = \frac{3}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Electrician = 6

Mechanic = 8

Required

Determine the probability of selecting an electrician

First, we need the total number of employees;

[tex]Total = n(Electrician) + n(Mechanic)[/tex]

[tex]Total = 6 + 8[/tex]

[tex]Total = 14[/tex]

Next, is to determine the required probability using the following formula;

[tex]Probability = \frac{n(Electrician)}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{6}{14}[/tex]

Divide numerator and denominator by 2

[tex]Probability = \frac{3}{7}[/tex]

Hence, the probability of selecting an electrician is 3/7

An urn contains 9 red marbles, 6 white marbles, and 8 blue marbles marbles. A child randomly selects three (without replacement) from the urn. Find the probability all three marbles are the same color

Answers

Answer:

P(identical colours) =  160/1771   (0.0903 to four decimals)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 9R, 6W and 8B marbles (total = 9+6+8 = 23)

Choose three without replacement.

Need probability three identical colours.

Use the multiplication rule.

P(RRR) = 9/23 * 8*22 * 7*21 = 12 / 253

P(WWW) = 6/23 * 5/22 * 4/21 = 20/1771

P(BBB) = 8/23 * 7/22 * 6/21 = 8/153

Probability of getting identical colours

= P(RRR)+P(WWW)+P(BBB)

= 160/1771   (0.0903 to four decimals)

Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a 0.0903 = 9.03% probability all three marbles are the same color.

-----------------

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.The order in which the marbles are chosen is not important, and they are also chosen without replacement, which means that the combination formula is used to find the number of outcomes.

-----------------

Combination formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

-----------------

The desired outcomes can be:

3 from a set of 9(all red).3 from a set of 6(all white).3 from a set of 8(all blue).

Thus:

[tex]D = C_{9,3} + C_{6,3} + C_{8,3} = \frac{9!}{3!6!} + \frac{6!}{3!3!} + \frac{8!}{3!5!} = 160[/tex]

-----------------

The total outcomes are 3 from a set of 9 + 6 + 8 = 23. Thus:

[tex]T = C_{23,3} = \frac{23!}{3!20!} = 1771[/tex]

The probability is:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{160}{1771} = 0.0903[/tex]

0.0903 = 9.03% probability all three marbles are the same color.

Find the intersection point for the following liner function f(x)= 2x+3 g(x)=-4x-27

Answers

Answer:

( -5,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= 2x+3 g(x)=-4x-27

Set the two functions equal

2x+3 = -4x-27

Add 4x to each side

2x+3+4x = -4x-27+4x

6x+3 = -27

Subtract 3

6x+3 - 3 = -27-3

6x = -30

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = -30/6

x =-5

Now we need to find the output

Using the insurance company's assumptions, calculate the probability that there are fewer than 3 tornadoes in a 14-year period. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:  19.2222

Step-by-step explanation:

given data;

no of tornadoes = 2,1,0 because it’s fewer than 3.

period = 14 years

probability of a tornado in a calendar year = 0.12

solution:

probability of exactly 2 tornadoes

= ( 0.12 )^2 * ( 0.88 )^11 * ( 14! / 2! * 11! )

= 0.0144 * 0.2451 * 1092

= 3.8541

probability of exac one tornado

= ( 0.12 )^1 * ( 0.88 )^12 * ( 14! / 1! * 12! )

= 0.12 * 0.2157 * 182

= 12.7109

probability of exactly 0 tornado

= ( 0.12 )^0 * ( 0.88 )^13 * ( 14! / 0! * 13! )

= 1 * 0.1898 * 14

= 2.6572

probability if fewer than 3 tornadoes

= 3.8541 + 12.7109 +2.6572

= 19.2222

An operator wants to determine the standard deviation for a machine relative to its ability to produce windshield wipers conforming within their specifications. To do this, she wants to create a p-chart. Over a month's time, she tests 100 units every day and records the number of manufacturing defects. The average proportion of non-conforming windshield wipers is found to be 0.042. What is the standard deviation of this sample

Answers

Answer:

the standard deviation of the sample is less than  0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The sample size n = 100 units

The average proportion of non-conforming windshield wipers is found to be 0.042 which is the defective rate P-bar

The standard deviation of the machine([tex]S_p[/tex]) can be calculated  by using the formula:

[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{ \overline P \times (1 - \overline P)} }{n}[/tex]

[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{0.042 \times (1 -0.042)} }{100}[/tex]

[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{0.042 \times (0.958)} }{100}[/tex]

[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ \sqrt{0.040236} }{100}[/tex]

[tex]S_p =\dfrac{ 0.2005891323 }{100}[/tex]

[tex]S_p =0.002[/tex]

Thus , the standard deviation of the sample is less than  0.1

Answers

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The 98% is confidence interval its not a probability estimate. The probability will be different from the confidence interval. Confidence interval is about the population mean and is not calculated based on sample mean. Every confidence interval contains the sample mean. There is 98% confidence that the proportion of Drosophola with his mutation is between 0.34 and 0.38.

A stock analyst believes that the stock volume in 2014 is different from the 2011 level. Based on a random sample of 30 trading days in 2014, he finds the sample mean to be 32.7 million shares, with a standard deviation of s=14.6 million shares. Test the hypothesis by constructing a 95% confidence interval. Complete a and b A. State the hypothesis B. Construct a 95% confidence interval about the sample mean of stocks traded in 2014.

Answers

Answer:

a

   The  null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu = 35 .1 \ million \ shares[/tex]

    The  alternative hypothesis  [tex]H_a : \mu \ne 35.1\ million \ shares[/tex]

b

 The   95% confidence interval is  [tex]27.475 < \mu < 37.925[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question the we are told that

      The  population mean is  [tex]\mu = 35.1 \ million \ shares[/tex]

      The  sample size is  n = 30

       The  sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 32.7 \ million\ shares[/tex]

       The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 14.6 \ million\ shares[/tex]

     

Given that the confidence level is  [tex]95\%[/tex] then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

                  [tex]\alpha = 100-95[/tex]

                  [tex]\alpha = 5\%[/tex]

=>               [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table

    The value is  [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

                 [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{ \sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

                [tex]E = 1.96 * \frac{ 14.6 }{\sqrt{30} }[/tex]

                [tex]E = 5.225[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval confidence interval is mathematically represented as

              [tex]\= x -E < \mu < \= x +E[/tex]

substituting values

               [tex]32.7 - 5.225 < \mu < 32.7 + 5.225[/tex]

                [tex]27.475 < \mu < 37.925[/tex]

05 cm

Answers

Answer:

a) 5[tex]cm^{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Bodies have three dimensions (width, height and depth). Measuring volume is calculating the number of cubic units that can fit inside.

When raising to 3, these dimensions are included and therefore  5[tex]cm^{3}[/tex] is a measure of volume.

Answer:

5cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume for a form will always be in cubic units.

Area of a shape will always be in squared units.

Length will not be in cubic or squared units.

Hence, the first option is a measure for volume.

The second option is equal to 5cm^2 which represents a measure for area, as does the fourth option.

The third option represents a measurement of length, for example the length of a line segment or the height of a figure.

A particular country has total states. If the areas states are added and the sum is divided by ​, the result is square kilometers. Determine whether this result is a statistic or a parameter.

Answers

Answer:

Some texts are missing from the question, I found a possible match, and here it is:

A particular country has total of 45 states. If the areas of 35 states are added and the sum is divided by 35​, the result is 135,600 square kilometres. Determine whether this result is a statistic or a parameter.

Answer:

The result is a statistic because the data involved are samples.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Parameter is a numerical representation of an entire population. That is they are numbers summarizing data for an entire population. In this case, if all the 45 states were measured, the result would have been a parameter.

On the other hand, statistics are numbers that are subsets (representative portions) of an entire population. Since 35 states were chosen out of 45 states, the average area of the 35 states is a statistic and not a parameter.

What is the minimum sample size required to estimate a population mean with 90% confidence when the desired margin of error is 1.25

Answers

Complete Question

What is the minimum sample size required to estimate a population mean with 90% confidence when the desired margin of error is 1.25? The standard deviation in a pre-selected sample is  7.5

Answer:

The minimum sample size is  [tex]n =97[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question  we are told that

 The margin of error is  [tex]E = 1.25[/tex]

   The  standard deviation is  [tex]s = 7.5[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  90% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

             [tex]\alpha = 100 - 90[/tex]  

             [tex]\alpha =10\%[/tex]  

             [tex]\alpha =0.10[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table  

    The value is  [tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 1.645[/tex]

   The  minimum sample size is mathematically evaluated as

         [tex]n = \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} * s^2 }}{E^2 }[/tex]

=>        [tex]n = \frac{1.645^2 * 7.5^2 }{1.25^2 }[/tex]

=>        [tex]n =97[/tex]

the point p(-3,4) is reflected in the line x +2=0. find the coordinate of the image x​

Answers

Answer:

(- 1, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The line x + 2 = 0 can be expressed as

x + 2 = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = - 2

This is the equation of a vertical line parallel to the y- axis and passing through all points with an x- coordinate of - 2

Thus (- 3, 4 ) is 1 unit to the left of - 2

Under a reflection in the line x = - 2

The x- coordinate will be the same distance from x = - 2 but on the other side while the y- coordinate remains unchanged.

Thus

(- 3, 4 ) → (- 1, 4 )

3)Maria is running a profitable business.

4)Maria’s total revenue exceeds her total profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows variation of revenue and cost with respect to price of product and not with respect to time .

The price of the product is 2.30 . From this graph , we see  that at this price revenue exceeds total cost . So maria is running a profitable business .

Total profit can not exceed total revenue as

Total revenue - total cost = total profit .

So total profit will always be less than total revenue .
