In recent years, business failures in the United States numbered 63509. The chemical industry accounted for 9499 of these business failures. The Mid-West states accounted for 7900 of the business failures. Suppose that 1270 of all business failures were chemical businesses located in the Mid-West. A failed business is randomly selected from this list of business failures. What is the probability that the business is in the chemical industry if it is known that the business is located in the Mid-West

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1608 = 16.08% probability that the business is in the chemical industry if it is known that the business is located in the Mid-West.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Failed business in the Midwest.

Event B: Chemical industry.

Probability of failed business being in the Mid-West:

7900 out of 63509. So

[tex]P(A) = \frac{7900}{63509}[/tex]

Probability of a failed business being a chemical industry in the Mid-West.

1270 out of 63509. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = \frac{1270}{63509}[/tex]

What is the probability that the business is in the chemical industry if it is known that the business is located in the Mid-West?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{\frac{1270}{63509}}{\frac{7900}{63509}} = \frac{1270}{7900} = 0.1608[/tex]

0.1608 = 16.08% probability that the business is in the chemical industry if it is known that the business is located in the Mid-West.

Answers

Answer:

D.  972 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

SA = 2B + PH

where SA = total surface area of the prism,

B = area of a base

P = perimeter of the base

H = height of the prism

SA = 2 * bh/2 + (15 ft + 12 ft + 9 ft)(24 ft)

SA = (9 ft)(12 ft) + (15 ft + 12 ft + 9 ft)(24 ft)

g(-1) = -1, g(2) + g(1) = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: g(x) = x³ + x² - x - 2

g(-1) ==> x = -1

g(-1) = (-1)³ + (-1)² - (-1) - 2

g(-1) = -1 + 1 + 1 - 2

g(-1) = -1

g(2) ==> x = 2

g(2) = (2)³ + (2)² - (2) - 2

g(2) = 8 + 4 - 2 - 2

g(2) = 8

g(1) ==> x = 1

g(1) = (1)³ + (1)² - (1) - 2

g(1) = 1 + 1 - 1 - 2

g(1) = -1

g(2) + g(1) = 8 + (-1) = 7

Then use the Slope Formula to Identify the slope.

M = Slope

M = [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]         Second y being subtracted by the first y / the second x being subtracted by the first x.

The radius of a circular swimming pool with a diameter of 20 feet will be 10 feet.

What is a circle?

It is the close curve of an equidistant point drawn from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and the circumference.

Assume 'r' is the radius of the circle and 'd' is the diameter of the circle.

The radius of the circle is half of the diameter of the circle. Then the equation is given as,

r = d / 2

The diameter of the swimming pool is 20 feet. Then the radius of the swimming pool is given as,

r = 20 / 2

r = 10 feet

2: After the GRE preparation course, did more women get admitted to the graduate program or men?
3: What statistical method should he use?

b. He should use the two-sample test of the mean to answer question one and the two-sample test of proportion to answer question two.
c. He should use the two-sample test of proportion to answer question one and the two-sample test of the mean to answer question b.
d. He should use the paired-sample of the mean to answer question one and two sample test of the mean to answer question two.

Answers

Answer:

b. He should use the two-sample test of the mean to answer question one and the two-sample test of proportion to answer question two.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have two independent groups, Men and Women, therefore, to show if it is the Men or Women who performed better, this can be determined based the mean scores of each group. Therefore, use the two sample test of mean which is used to test whether the unknown mean of two independent population are equal or not.

In other to determine those who have the greater number of admissions between the two groups, this is determined by comparing the proportion of each group admitted. Hence, rather Than testing for the mean, we compare the proportion. Hence, we use the two sample test of proportion.

The equation f = v + at represents the final velocity of an object, f, with an initial velocity, v, and an acceleration rate, a, over time, t.

Which is an equivalent equation solved for t?

Answers

Answer:

(f-v)/a = t

Step-by-step explanation:

f = v + at

Subtract v from each side

f-v = v-v + at

f-v = at

Divide each side by a

(f-v)/a = at/a

(f-v)/a = t

Answer:

f - v =  a

 t

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation:

f =  v + at

subtract -v on both sides

f - v = at

divide t on both sides of the equation

Second, the commuter students were asked to estimate how long it took them to drive to campus. And third, they were asked their heights. Identify the type of random variable being measured by each.

Answers

Answer:

The number of courses they were currently enrolled in is a discrete random variable.

The time it took them to drive to campus is a continuous random variable.

Their heights is a continuous random variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Random variables:

Random variables can be classified as continuous or discrete.

Discrete variables are countable numbers(0,1,2,...), while continuous variables can assume decimal values.

First, students were asked how many courses they were currently enrolled in.

Can be 0,1,2,... that is, has to be a countable number, so the number of courses they were currently enrolled in is a discrete random variable.

Second, the commuter students were asked to estimate how long it took them to drive to campus.

Can be for example, 10.5 minutes, half an hour, that is, can be represented by decimal values, and thus the time it took them to drive to campus is a continuous random variable.

And third, they were asked their heights.

Can also be decimal numbers, so continuous.

In the diagram below of triangle MNO, P is the midpoint of MO and Q is the
midpoint of NO.If PQ = 49 – 8x, and MN = 41 + 3x, what is the measure of
MN?
O
N
P
M M

Answers

Answer:

MN = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

PQ = 49 – 8x

MN = 41 + 3x

Required:

Measure of MN

Solution:

PQ = ½(MN) => Mid-segment theorem of a triangle

Substitute

49 - 8x = ½(41 + 3x)

Multiply both sides by 2

2(49 - 8x) = 41 + 3x

98 - 16x = 41 + 3x

Collect like terms

98 - 41 = 16x + 3x

57 = 19x

57/19 = 19x/19

3 = x

x = 3

Find MN:

MN = 41 + 3x

Plug in the value of x

MN = 41 + 3(3) = 41 + 9

MN = 50
