Answer 1

Answer:

Following are the responses to the given points:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]\mu = 359 \ \ \ \ \ \sigma = 33\\\\[/tex]

Using formula:

[tex]\to P(X = x) = P\left ( z < \frac{x-\mu }{\sigma } \right )[/tex]

For point a:

[tex]\to x= 406\\\\P(X < 406 ) = P\left ( z < \frac{406-359 }{33 } \right )\\\\[/tex]

                   [tex]= P\left ( z <1.4242\right )\\\\= 0.9222[/tex]

For point b:

[tex]\to x= 461\\\\P(X > 461 ) = P\left ( z > \frac{461 -359 }{33 } \right )\\\\[/tex]

                   [tex]= 1 - P\left ( z < 3.0909 \right )\\\\= 1 - 0.9990\\\\= 0.0001[/tex]

For point c:

[tex]\to x= 406\ \ and \ \ 461\\\\P(406 <X < 461 ) = P(X < 461) - P (X < 406)\\\\[/tex]

                              [tex]= 0.9990 - 0.9222\\\\= 0.0768\\\\[/tex]

For point d:

[tex]P(X < 406) = 0.9222 = 92.22 \%\ that \ is \ greater \ than\ 50\%[/tex]

Hence, the correct choice is "i".

For point e:

[tex]\to P(X > z) = 0.1\\\\\to 1 - P(X < z) = 0.1\\\\\to P(\frac{x-\mu }{\sigma }) = 0.9\\\\\to \frac{x-359}{33 } = 1.28\\\\ \to x = 401.24\\\\[/tex]

An automobile insurance company divides customers into three risk categories: Good (G), Medium (M), and Poor (P). Assume the following distribution of customers: 70% are Good risks, 20% are Medium risks, and 10% are Poor risks. Assume that the probabilities of a customer filing an accident claim (C) in the course of a year are: 0.5% for Good, 1% for Medium, and 2.5% for Poor. A customer is chosen at random.
a) What is the probability that the customer is a good risk and has filed a claim?b) What is the probability that the customer has filed a claim?c) Given that the customer has filed a claim, what is the probability that the customer is a good risk?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.035 = 3.5% probability that a customer is a good risk and has filed a claim.

b) 0.0395 = 3.95% probability that the customer has filed a claim.

c) 0.8861 = 88.61% probability that the customer is a good risk

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.

a) What is the probability that the customer is a good risk and has filed a claim?

70% are good risks.

Of those, 0.5% file a claim. So

[tex]0.7*0.05 = 0.035[/tex]

0.035 = 3.5% probability that a customer is a good risk and has filed a claim.

b) What is the probability that the customer has filed a claim?

0.5% of 70%(good risks)

1% of 20%(medium risks)

2.5% of 10%(poor risks). So

[tex]0.05*0.7 + 0.01*0.2 + 0.025*0.1 = 0.0395[/tex]

0.0395 = 3.95% probability that the customer has filed a claim.

c) Given that the customer has filed a claim, what is the probability that the customer is a good risk?

0.0395 = 3.95% probability that the customer has filed a claim means that [tex]P(A) = 0.0395[/tex]

0.035 = 3.5% probability that a customer is a good risk and has filed a claim means that [tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.035[/tex]

Thus

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.035}{0.0395} = 0.8861[/tex]

0.8861 = 88.61% probability that the customer is a good risk

You saved $200 on your new laptop because you bought it online. If this was a 20% savings from the original price, find the original cost of the lapto

Answers

Answer:

$1000

Step-by-step explanation:

$200 was saved on a new laptop

This was 20% of the original price of the laptop

Therefote the original cost of the laptop can be calculated as follows

= 20/100x = 200

= 0.2x= 200

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 0.2

x= 200/0.2

= 1000

Hence the original cost of the laptop is $1000

Write an explicit formula for an, the nth term of the sequence 1, 11, 21

Answers

Answer:

an = 10n - 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is arithmetic with first term a1 = 1 and common difference 10.

an = a1 + d(n-1)

= 1 + 10(n - 1)

= 1 + 10n - 10

= 10n - 9.

A coffee vending machine fills 100 cups of coffee before it has to be refilled. On a Monday, the mean number of ounces filled in a cup of coffee was 7.5. The machine is known to have a standard deviation in filling volume of 0.25 ounces. Find a 99% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces dispensed by this machine.

Answers

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces dispensed by this machine is (7.44, 7.56).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so Z = 2.575.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

[tex]M = 2.575\frac{0.25}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.06[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 7.5 - 0.06 = 7.44 ounces.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 7.5 + 0.06 = 7.56 ounces.

The 99% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces dispensed by this machine is (7.44, 7.56).

chhering deposite rs. 40000 in a bank at the rate of 5% p.a. if he has to pay 5%of the total interest as tax for the bank how much will he get after 4 years​

Answers

Answer: Rs 7600

Step-by-step explanation:

The interest will be calculated as:

= Principal × Rate × Time

= 40000 × 5% × 4

= 40000 × 0.05 × 4

= 8000

Since he has to pay 5% of the total interest as tax for the bank, the amount that he will he get after 4 years will be:

= 8000 - (5% × 8000)

= 8000 - (0.05 × 8000)

= 8000 - 400

= 7600

Therefore, he'll get Rs 7600

Answer:

$3.48 for each pair of socks.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a little confusing, because it says they're buying 2 socks, but then asks for the price of each of 2 *pairs* of socks. I'm going to believe the first sentence should say they paid for 2 pairs of socks.

They have $10, and get $3.04 in change. So we'll subtract $3.04 from $10 to find out the cost of 2 pairs of socks.

10 - 3.04 = 6.96

Then divide $6.96 by 2 pairs of socks

6.96/2 = $3.48 for each pair of socks.
