You know that a rope is no more than 100 feet long. You need to cut the rope into three pieces the second piece is to be three times as long as the first piece, and the third piece must be 18 feet long. What is the maximum length of the second piece?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

hi

Step-by-step explanation:

The rope is originally 100 ft. long. The first piece is 32 ft., leaving 100–32, or 68 ft.

Let n be the second piece, and n-30 be the third piece. Then:

n+n-30=68

2n=98

n=49

n-30=19

The second piece is 49 ft. long; the third piece is 19 ft. long ……..

(c) Suppose that a store had many 200-foot rolls in storage, a clerk is doing inspections. What is the probability that the 15th roll he inspected was the 3rd one that have no flaws in it

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.9197 = 91.97% probability that a 100-foor roll has at most 2 flaws.

b) 0.1074 = 10.74% probability that there are exactly 3 rolls that have no flaws in them.

c) 0.0394 = 3.94% probability that the 15th roll he inspected was the 3rd one that have no flaws in it.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the Poisson and the Binomial distribution.

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

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.

(a) Find the probability that a 100-foor roll has at most 2 flaws.

A certain type of aluminum screen has, an average, one flaw in a 100-foot roll, which means that [tex]\mu = 1[/tex]. Only one roll means that the Poisson distribution is used.

This is:

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1}*1^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.3679[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-1}*1^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.3679[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-1}*1^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.1839[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.3679 + 0.3679 + 0.1839 = 0.9197[/tex]

0.9197 = 91.97% probability that a 100-foor roll has at most 2 flaws.

(b) Suppose that I bought 10 200-foot rolls, find the probability that there are exactly 3 rolls that have no flaws in them.

Two parts.

Probability that a single 200-foot roll has no flaw.

This is [tex]P(X = 0)[/tex], Poisson(single 200-foot roll) when [tex]\mu = \frac{200*1}{100} = 2[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-2}*2^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.1353[/tex]

0.1353 probability that a single 200-foot roll has no flaw.

Probability that on 10 200-foot rolls, 3 have no flaws.

Multiple 200-foot rolls means that we use the binomial distribution.

0.1353 probability that a single 200-foot roll has no flaw means that [tex]p = 0.1353[/tex]

10 200-foot rolls means that [tex]n = 10[/tex]

We want [tex]P(X = 3)[/tex]. So

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

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.1353)^{3}.(0.8647)^{7} = 0.1074[/tex]

0.1074 = 10.74% probability that there are exactly 3 rolls that have no flaws in them.

(c) What is the probability that the 15th roll he inspected was the 3rd one that have no flaws in it.

0.1353 probability that a single 200-foot roll has no flaw means that [tex]p = 0.1353[/tex]

2 with flaws in the first 14, which is [tex]P(X = 2)[/tex] when [tex]n = 14[/tex]

The 15th has no flaw, with probability of 0.1353. So

[tex]P = 0.1353*P(X = 2) = 0.1353*(C_{14,2}.(0.1353)^{2}.(0.8647)^{12}) = 0.1353*0.2911 = 0.0394[/tex]

0.0394 = 3.94% probability that the 15th roll he inspected was the 3rd one that have no flaws in it

In a certain town there were 348 robberies last year. This year the number of robberies has gone down 40%. How many robberies were there this year, to the nearest whole number?

Answers

Answer:

209 robberies

Step-by-step explanation:

Robberies last year =348

Robberies has reduced by 40% which means there are (100-40)% = 60% robberies this year.

Number of robberies this year= 60% of 348 = 60/100 × 348 = 208.8

To the nearest whole number = 209

There are 209 robberies this year.

in a major study by the statistics classes at Washington High School, city parking spaces were examined for compliance with the requirement to put money in the parking meters. Overall, the students found that 76% of metered parking places had meters that had NOT expired, and 24% had meters that were expired. If the traffic officer in charge of ticketing cars with expired meters checks meters at random, what is the probability he will find an expired meter BEFORE the 3rd one

Answers

Answer:

0.4224 = 42.24% probability he will find an expired meter BEFORE the 3rd one

Step-by-step explanation:

For each car, there is a 24% probability that it had expired parking meters.

What is the probability he will find an expired meter BEFORE the 3rd one?

Three possible outcomes:

Two expired(each with 24% probability)

First expired(24% probability) and second not(76% probability)

First not(76% probability) and second expired(24% probability). So

[tex]p = 0.24^2 + 2*0.24*0.76 = 0.4224[/tex]

0.4224 = 42.24% probability he will find an expired meter BEFORE the 3rd one
