You're a contestant on a TV gameshow where you must choose between four identical looking suitcases containing $100, $100, $300, and $400. You start by randomly picking one suitcase. The host then opens the remaining suitcase with the lowest dollar amount. Now, you have the choice to keep your current suitcase or switch to one of the two remaining suitcases. With probability p= 0.7, you keep your original suitcase and open it. Otherwise, you are equally likely to choose either of two the remaining suitcases and open it. You win the money in the suitcase you opened.

Consider these events:
Ai is the event that the first suitcase you choose is worth i dollars.
Hi is the event that the host opens a suitcase worth i dollars.
Wi is the event that you win i dollars.

If you play this game five times, the probability that the event W400 occurs twice in five trials is:_______

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2990 = 29.90%.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each trial, there are only two possible outcomes. Either you win $400, or you do not. Trials are independent. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

Probability of winning $400 in a trial:

1/4 probability of choosing the suitcase containing $400, and in this case, 0.7 probability of keeping it.

3/4 probability of choosing another suitcase. Then, 0.3 of 3/4 probability of changing the suitcase, and 0.5 of 0.3 of 3/4 probability of getting the suitcase containing $400. So

[tex]p = \frac{1}{4}*0.7 + \frac{3}{4}*0.3*0.5 = 0.25*0.7 + 0.75*0.15 = 0.2875[/tex]

If you play this game five times, the probability that the event W400 occurs twice in five trials is:_______

This is P(X = 2) when n = 5. So

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

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.2875)^{2}.(0.7125)^{3} = 0.2990[/tex]

The probability is 0.2990 = 29.90%.

Maplewood Supply received a $5,270 invoice dated 4/15/10. The $5,270 included $270 freight. Terms were 3/10, 2/30, n/60.
a. If Maplewood pays the invoice on April 27, what will it pay?
b. If Maplewood pays the invoice on May 21, what will it pay?

Answers

Answer:

The invoice gets paid after 12 days, so mapplewood will get a 3% discount (3/30, 3% off if paid within 30 days). I assume that Freight doesn't get a discount,  so I subtract it from the invoice value:

$5250-$250 (freight)=$5000

Discounted invoice becomes:

$5000-3%*5000(discount)=$4850

Add the freight back to the new invoice:

$4850+$250=$5,100 if paid on April 27

B) the invoice gets paid after 36 days, so the invoice gets paid in full ( n/60; in other words, invoice paid in full if paid within 60 days, therefore $5,250)

An article describes the chemical compositions of certain minerals in the early Archaean mantle. For a certain type of olivine assembly, the silicon dioxide (SiO2) content (in weight percent) in a randomly chosen rock has mean 40.35 and standard deviation 0.4. Find the mean and standard deviation of the sample mean SiO2 content in a random sample of 10 rocks. Round the mean to two decimal places. Mean Standard deviation

Answers

Answer:

The mean is 40.35 and the standard deviation is 0.13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a certain type of olivine assembly, the silicon dioxide (SiO2) content (in weight percent) in a randomly chosen rock has mean 40.35 and standard deviation 0.4.

Sample of 10:

By the Central Limit Theorem, the mean is 40.35, and the standard deviation is [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{0.4}{\sqrt{10}} = 0.13[/tex]

The mean is 40.35 and the standard deviation is 0.13.

The proportion is [tex]\frac{35}{108}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{84}[/tex], and the length of the unknown side is [tex]\frac{245}{9}[/tex] or 27.22 approximately rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, the proportion of corresponding sides are equal. The pairs of corresponding sides in these triangles which we'll use to solve it are LK, KE, MK, and KF. LK and KE are corresponding sides, and their proportion is [tex]\frac{35}{108}[/tex]. MK and KF are corresponding sides, and their proportion is [tex]\frac{x}{84}[/tex] in which x represents the missing side. The proportions are equal, so [tex]\frac{35}{108}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{84}[/tex]. Multiply both sides by 84 to isolate the variable, and you'll get [tex]x = \frac{35*84}{108}[/tex], which is [tex]\frac{2940}{108}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{245}{9}[/tex].

a rectangular park has an area of 2/3 square mile. The length of the park is 2 2/3 the width of the park. What is the width of the park?​

Answers

Answer: Area of the rectangular park = 2/3 square mile

Let us assume the width of the rectangular park = x

Then

The length of the rectangular park = 2 2/3 * x mile

= 8x/3 mile

Then

Area of the rectangular park = Length * Width

2/3 = (8x/3) * x

2/3 = 8x^2/3

(2 * 3)/3 = 8x^2

2 = 8x^2

x^2 = 2/8

x^2 = 1/4

x^2 = (1/2)^2

x = 1/2

So the width of the park is 1/2 feet.

Answer:

The length of each side of the equilateral triangle is 6.93 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the image uploaded for diagram;

The length of each side of the equilateral triangle is y;

Apply Pythagoras theorem to determine y;

[tex]y^2 = 6^2 \ + \ (\frac{y}{2} )^2\\\\y^2 = 36 \ + \ \frac{y^2}{4} \\\\multiply\ through \ by \ 4;\\\\4y^2 =144 \ + \ y^2\\\\4y^2 - y^2 = 144\\\\3y^2 = 144\\\\y^2 = \frac{144}{3} \\\\y^2 = 48\\\\y = \sqrt{48} \\\\y = 6.93\ cm[/tex]

Therefore, the length of each side of the equilateral triangle is 6.93 cm.

A equilateral triangle is the triangle in which all the three sides are of equal length in measure.

The side of the equilateral triangle is 4 centimetres. Hence the option A is the correct option.

What is equilateral triangle?

The table shows a linear relationship between x and y. What is the rate of change of y with respect to x.
A. -9/2
B. 2/9
C. -2/9
D. 9/2

Answers

Answer:

A. -⁹/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using any two pairs of values form the table, say (-12, 60) and (-6, 33),

Rate of change = ∆y/∆x

= (33 - 60) / (-6 -(-12))

= -27/6

= -9/2

Rate of change = -⁹/2

The rate of change of y with respect to x is -9/2

Option A is correct

For a linear relationship, the rate of change of y with respect to x is given by the formula:

[tex]\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x} =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\[/tex]

From the table:

[tex]x_1=-20, x_2=-12, y_1=96, y_2=60[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x_1=-20, x_2=-12, y_1=96, y_2=60[/tex] into the equation [tex]\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x} =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x} =\frac{60-96}{-12-(-20)} \\\\\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x} =\frac{-36}{8}[/tex]

Reduce the expression to the lowest term by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4

[tex]\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x} =\frac{-9}{2}[/tex]

The rate of change of y with respect to x is -9/2
