A sign on the gas pumps of a chain of gasoline stations encourages customers to have their oil checked with the claim that one out of four cars needs to have oil added. If this is true, what is the probability of the following events?

a. One out of the next four cars needs oil.
b. Two out of the next eight cars needs oil.
c.Three out of the next 12 cars need oil.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.4219 = 42.19% probability that one out of the next four cars needs oil.

b) 0.3115 = 31.15% probability that two out of the next eight cars needs oil.

c) 0.2581 = 25.81% probability that three out of the next 12 cars need oil.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each car, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they need oil, or they do not need it. The probability of a car needing oil is independent of any other car, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [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]

And p is the probability of X happening.

One out of four cars needs to have oil added.

This means that [tex]p = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]

a. One out of the next four cars needs oil.

This is P(X = 1) when n = 4. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{3} = 0.4219[/tex]

0.4219 = 42.19% probability that one out of the next four cars needs oil.

b. Two out of the next eight cars needs oil.

This is P(X = 2) when n = 8. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{8,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{6} = 0.3115[/tex]

0.3115 = 31.15% probability that two out of the next eight cars needs oil.

c.Three out of the next 12 cars need oil.

This is P(X = 3) when n = 12. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{12,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{9} = 0.2581[/tex]

0.2581 = 25.81% probability that three out of the next 12 cars need oil.

4x+5(g(x)):: 8x+13

g(x):: 8x+13/4x+5

Answer:

g(x) = 2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

One is given the following information:

f(x) = 4x + 5f o g (x) = 8x + 13

One is asked to find the following:

g(x)

Remember, (f o g (x)) is another way of representing a composite function. A more visual way of representing this composite function is the following (f(g(x)). In essence, one substitutes the function (g(x)) into the function (f(x)) in places of the varaible (x). Thus, represent this in the form of an equation:

f(g(x)) = 8x + 13

Substitute the given infromation into the equation:

4(g(x)) + 5 = 8x + 13

Solve for (g(x)) in terms of (x). Remember to treat (g(x)) as a single parameter:

4(g(x)) + 5 = 8x + 13

Inverse operations,

4(g(x)) + 5 = 8x + 13

4(g(x)) = 8x + 8

g(x) = (8x + 8) ÷ 4

g(x) = 2x + 2

Vertical asymptote:

A vertical asymptote is a value of x for which the function is not defined, that is, it is a point which is outside the domain of a function;

In a graphic, these vertical asymptotes are given by dashed vertical lines.

An example is a value of x for which the denominator of the function is 0.

In this graphic:

Dashed vertical lines at: [tex]x = -3, x = 7[/tex], thus, for [tex]x - (-3) = x+3[/tex] and [tex]x - 7[/tex] the denominator is zero.

Thus, the function graphed is:

[tex]F(x) = \frac{1}{(x+3)(x-7)}[/tex]

And the correct answer is given by option C.

To take a look at a problem with asymptote, you can check this item https://brainly.com/question/4084552.

The graph is for the rational function f(x) = 1/(x + 3)(x - 7).

Option C is the correct answer.

We have,

To understand the graph of the function f(x) = 1/((x + 3)(x - 7)).

Vertical Asymptotes:

The function has vertical asymptotes at the values of x for which the denominator becomes zero.

The denominator is (x + 3)(x - 7), so the vertical asymptotes occur at

x = -3 and x = 7.

Horizontal Asymptote:

The highest power of x in the denominator is x², and there is no x² term in the numerator, the function approaches 0 as x goes to positive or negative infinity.

The horizontal asymptote is y = 0.

x-Intercept:

To find the x-intercept, we set y = 0 and solve for x:

0 = 1/((x + 3)(x - 7))

Since the numerator can never be zero, the only way the fraction can be zero is if the denominator is zero:

(x + 3)(x - 7) = 0

Solving for x:

x + 3 = 0

x = -3

x - 7 = 0

x = 7

So, the x-intercepts are (-3, 0) and (7, 0).

y-Intercept:

To find the y-intercept, we set x = 0:

f(0) = 1/((0 + 3)(0 - 7)) = 1/(-3 * -7) = 1/21

The y-intercept is (0, 1/21).

Thus,

The graph is for the rational function f(x) = 1/(x + 3)(x - 7).

What are Julie’s taxable wages as a data-entry operator if her withholding allowances total $1,500 and her annual gross pay is $24,500?

Answers

Julie's Taxable Wages:

Julie's taxable wages as a data-entry operator is:

= $23,000.

Data and Calculations:

a) Annual gross pay =           $24,500

Total withholding allowances = 1,500

Taxable wages (income) =  $23,000 ($24,500 - $1,500)

b) Julie's total withholding allowance of $1,500 is the total exemption that reduces how much income tax her employer can deduct from  Julie's paycheck.  This means that $1,500 will be deducted from $24,500, the gross pay, before arriving at her taxable income.

What is conversion?

Unit modification is the process of converting the measurement of a given amount between various units, often by multiplicative constants that alter the value of the calculated quantity without altering its impacts.

The inclination is the separation seen between planes or vectors that meet. Degrees are another way to indicate the slope. For a full rotation, the angle is 360°.

The angle is given below.

⇒ 30.283°

Convert 30.283° into a degree-minute-second format. Then we have

⇒ 30° (0.83 x 60')

⇒ 30° 16.98'

⇒ 30° 16' (0.98 x 60'')

⇒ 30° 16' 58"

The angle of 30.283° in a degree-minute-second format will be 30° 16' 58". Then the correct option is C.
