When do creative people get their best ideas? USA Today did a survey of 966 inventors (who hold U.S. patents) and obtained the following information.
Time of Day When Best Ideas Occur
Time Number of Inventors
6 A.M.-12 noon 271
12 noon-6 P.M. 123
6 P.M.-12 midnight 327
12 midnight-6 A.M. 245
Required:
a. Assuming that the time interval includes the left limit and all the times up to but not including the right limit, estimate the probability that an inventor has a best idea during each time interval: from 6 A.M. to 12 noon, from 12 noon to 6 P.M., from 6 P.M. to 12 midnight, from 12 midnight to 6 A.M.
b. Do the probabilities add up to 1? Why should they?
Answer:
a.
0.2805 = 28.05% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 6 A.M. to 12 noon.
0.1273 = 12.73% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 12 noon to 6 P.M.
0.3385 = 33.85% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 6 P.M. to 12 midnight.
0.2536 = 25.36% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 12 midnight to 6 A.M.
b. They do, as the the sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes should be 1, as is in this question.
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the total outcomes.
We have:
A total of 966 inventors.
Question a:
6 A.M. to 12 noon
271 out of 966, so:
[tex]p = \frac{271}{966} = 0.2805[/tex]
0.2805 = 28.05% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 6 A.M. to 12 noon.
12 noon to 6 P.M.
123 out of 966, so:
[tex]p = \frac{123}{966} = 0.1273[/tex]
0.1273 = 12.73% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 12 noon to 6 P.M.
6 P.M. to 12 midnight
327 out of 966, so:
[tex]p = \frac{327}{966} = 0.3385[/tex]
0.3385 = 33.85% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 6 P.M. to 12 midnight.
12 midnight to 6 A.M.
245 out of 966. So
[tex]p = \frac{245}{966} = 0.2536[/tex]
0.2536 = 25.36% probability that an inventor has a best idea from 12 midnight to 6 A.M.
b. Do the probabilities add up to 1? Why should they?
0.2805 + 0.1273 + 0.3385 + 0.2536 = 1
They do, as the the sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes should be 1, as is in this question.

The probability of randomly choosing a blue marble is
7
8
.
There are 56 marbles in total in the bag and each is equally likely to be chosen.
Work out how many red marbles there must be.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of choosing a blue marble is 7/8, or 49/56, which means that out of 56 marbles, 49 are blue. 56-49=7, so there are 7 red marbles. Hope this helps! :)

A consumer advocacy group is doing a large study on car rental practices. Among other things, the consumer group would like to estimate the mean monthly mileage, , of cars rented in the U.S. over the past year. The consumer group plans to choose a random sample of monthly U.S. rental car mileages and then estimate using the mean of the sample. Using the value miles per month as the standard deviation of monthly U.S. rental car mileages from the past year, what is the minimum sample size needed in order for the consumer group to be confident that its estimate is within miles per month of
Answer:
The minimum sample size needed 64 monthly U.S. rental car mileages.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as all the important data are omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
A consumer advocacy group is doing a large study on car rental practices. Among other things, the consumer group would like to estimate the mean monthly mileage, u, of cars rented in the U.S. over the past year. The consumer group plans to choose a random sample of monthly U.S. rental car mileages and then estimate u using the mean of the sample. Using the value 850 miles per month as the standard deviation of monthly U.S. rental car mileages from the past year, what is the minimum sample size needed in order for the consumer group to be 95% confident that its estimate is within 175 miles per month of u?
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
The minimum sample size needed can be calculated using the following sample size formula:
n = ((Z * S) / E)^2 ………………………… (1)
Where:
n = sample size or minimum sample size = ?
Z = Confidence interval at 95% = 1.645
S = Standard deviation = 850
E = Accepted magnitude of error = 175
Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:
n = ((1.645 * 850) / 175)^2 = (1,398.25 / 175)^2 = 7.99^2 = 63.8401, or 64.
Therefore, the minimum sample size needed 64 monthly U.S. rental car mileages.
Ms.Peralta's friend Mike is a construction worker. Mike gets paid $15 an hour. After working 9 hours he gets paid 1.25 times his hourly rate. Below you can find Mike's hours for last Friday. - Mike worked for 5 hours - took an 1 hr and 15 minute break for lunch (does not count toward his work hours) - worked for an additional 7.5 hours How much money did Mike make last Friday?
Answer:
Mike made $ 200.63 last Friday.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Ms. Peralta's friend Mike is a construction worker who gets paid $ 15 an hour, and after working 9 hours he gets paid 1.25 times his hourly rate, and last Friday Mike worked for 5 hours - took an 1 hr and 15 minute break for lunch (does not count toward his work hours) - and worked for an additional 7.5 hours, to determine how much money did Mike make last Friday the following calculation must be performed:
5 + 7.5 = 12.5
12.5 - 9 = 3.5
9 x 15 + (3.5 x (15 x 1.25)) = X
135 + 3.5 x 18.75 = X
135 + 65.625 = X
200.63 = X
Therefore, Mike made $ 200.63 last Friday.

Split 294x306, which identity is used to solve it?
Answer:
identity :- ( a + b ) ( a - b ) = a² - b ²
Answer :- 89,694
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : 294 × 306
split 294 × 306
294 × 306 = ( 300 - 6 ) × ( 300 + 6 )
Using Identity, ( a + b ) ( a - b ) = a² - b ² :
= ( 300 )² - ( 6 )²
= 90000 - 36
= 89,964
Hence, 294 × 306 = 89,694
of the 10 people attending a seminar, 5 have gray hair.
What is the probability that a randomly selected person will have gray hair?
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
So we know that there is a total of 10 people.
5 of these have grey hair.
To find the chances of a somone having grey hair, we need to divide people with grey hair over total people:
[tex]\frac{value}{total} =probability[/tex]
This is the same division we use to find things such as percentage and ratio as well.
Now lets plug in our numbers and solve:
[tex]\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
So half of the people have grey hair.
Or(in percentage):
The probability is 50% that someone will have grey hair.
Hope this hepls!

Step-by-step explanation:
what is the equation that matches this table?
Answer:
y = –1 + 3x
Step-by-step explanation:
To know which option is correct, we shall use the equation given in each option to see which will validate the table. This is illustrated below:
Option 1
y = –1x + 3
x = –2
y = –1(–2) + 3
y = 2 + 3
y = 5
This did not give the required value of y (i.e –7) in the table.
Option 2
y = 1 + 3x
x = –2
y = 1 + 3(–2)
y = 1 – 6
y = –5
This did not give the required value of y (i.e –7) in the table.
Option 3
y = –3 + 1x
x = –2
y = –3 + 1(–2)
y = –3 – 2
y = –5
This did not give the required value of y (i.e –7) in the table.
Option 4
y = –1 + 3x
x = –2
y = –1 + 3(–2)
y = –1 – 6
y = –7
This gives the required value of y (i.e –7) in the table.
Thus, the equation that matches the table is:
y = –1 + 3x

how much does a customer save for buying a sound system marked $1,200 at a discount of 15%
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Mp=$1200
Let sp be x
SP=MP-discount% of MP
x=1200-15/100 * 1200
x=120000-18000/100
x=102000/100
x=1020
the amount of money person saves=MP-SP
=$1200-$1020
=$180
therefore he saves $180

We can subtract 6 to put the equation into a form easily solved.
x^2 +2x +1 = 15
(x +1)^2 = 15
x +1 = √15 . . . . . for the greatest solution, we only need the positive root
x = √15 -1 ≈ 2.87
The flags are all the same size and are space equally along the line. Calculate the length of the sides of each flag, and the space between flags by making a system of equations and solving that system..
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the space between flags be "x" and the flag's side is "y"
2x + 3y = 80 ║ × ( - 2 )
5x + 6y = 170
- 4x - 6y = - 160 ..... ( 1 )
5x + 6y = 170 ..... ( 2 )
( 1 ) + ( 2 )
x = 10
2(10) + 3y = 80
y = 20
The space between flags is 10 cm
The flag's sides are the same size and is 20 cm

calculate to the nearest million m³.the current amount of water in the berg river dam
Answer:
See Explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete, as the dimension of the dam is not given.
However, a general way of calculating volume is to calculate the base area and the multiply by height.
Take for instance,the dam has a rectangular base of 20m by 30m.
The base area will be
Area = 20m * 30m = 600m²
If the height of the water in the dam is 40m, then the volume is:
Volume = 600m² * 40m
Volume = 24000m³

Mark has 1.5 times more collectible cards than Jacob. If Mark
gives Jacob 11 cards, they will have the same number of
collectible cards. How many cards do they have?
Answer:
17.5 cards
Step-by-step explanation:
11 x 1.5 = 16.5
16.5 + 11 = 17.5 cards
Answer:
110
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us take Jack cards as x
Then Mark cards will be 1.5 * x
Mark gives 11 cards to Jack...the equation is
1.5 * x - 11 = x + 11
Adding +11 on both sides
1.5*x -11 + 11 = x + 11 + 11
1.5*x = x + 22
Subtracting x on both sides
1.5*x - x = x + 22 - x
.5*x = 22
x = 22 * 1/.5 = 220/5 = 44
Now go back to the initial equation
Mark >> 1.5 * x = 66
Jack >> 1 * x = 44
Total >> 110.
