You are given that P(A) = 0.5 and P(A ∪ B) = 0.7. Student 1 assumes that A and B are independent and calculates P(B) based on that assumption. Student 2 assumes that A and B are mutually exclusive and calculates P(B) based on that assumption. Find the absolute difference between the tw

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The absolute difference between the two calculations is 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Student 1

When the events do not affect each other, they are known as independent events. That is, two events are independent if the result of the second event is not affected by the result of the first event.

When two events are independent, the probability that A and B occur is equal to the product of the probability that A occurs and the probability that B occurs. Then:

P(A∩B)= P(A)*P(B)

The probability of the opposite event is equal to 1 minus the probability of the  event. So in this case you have:

P(A'∩B')= 1 - P(A∪B)

Being P(A∪B)= 0.7, then:

P(A'∩B')= 1 -0.7

P(A'∩B')= 0.3

Being P(A)= 0.5 and P(A'), so

0.3= 0.5*P(B)

[tex]P(B')=\frac{0.3}{0.5}[/tex]

P(B')=0.6

Being P(B)= 1 - P(B') so P(B)= 1 - 0.6 and you get P(B)=0.4

Student 2

Two events are mutually exclusive when both cannot occur simultaneously. In other words, two events A and B are incompatible or mutually exclusive when they have no element in common. This is: P(A∩B)= 0

Being P(A∪B) =P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B), P(A)=0.5 and P(A∪B)= 0.7, you get:

0.7=0.5 + P(B) -0

Solving:

0.7=0.5 + P(B)

0.7 - 0.5 = P(B)

0.2 = P(B)

Finally the absolute difference between the two calculations can be calcutated as:

|0.4 - 0.2|= 0.2

The absolute difference between the two calculations is 0.2

4. The time needed to complete the final exam in statistics at CAU is normally distributed with a mean of 90 minutes and a standard deviation of 10 minutes.What is the probability that the exam will be completed in one hour or less

Answers

Answer:

The value is  [tex]P(X \le 60 ) = 0.00135[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mean is  [tex]\mu = 90 \ minutes[/tex]

   The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 10[/tex]

Generally  1 hours =  60  minutes

  Generally the probability that the exam will be completed in one hour or less is  

     [tex]P(X \le 60 ) = 1 - P(X > 60 )[/tex]

Here

     [tex]P(X > 60 ) = P( \frac{ X - \mu }{ \sigma } > \frac{ 60 - 90 }{ 10 } )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma }  =  Z (The  \ standardized \  value\  of  \ X )[/tex]

     [tex]P(X > 60 ) = P( Z> -3 )[/tex]

From the z -distribution table the probability of  ( Z> -3  )

      [tex]P( Z> -3 ) = 0.99865[/tex]

[tex]P(X > 60 ) = 0.99865[/tex]

=>   [tex]P(X \le 60 ) = 1 - 0.99865[/tex]

=>   [tex]P(X \le 60 ) = 0.00135[/tex]

Answer:

128calories/cup

256calories

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

   Amount of calories  = 96calories

   Number of cups  = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]cups

Unknown:

Unit rate(calories per cup) = ?

Number of calories in 2 cups  = ?

Solution:

A. To find the unit rate;

       Unit rate  = [tex]\frac{amount of calories}{number of cups}[/tex]

 Insert the parameters and solve;

       Unit rate  = [tex]\frac{96}{\frac{3}{4} }[/tex]  

       Unit rate = 96 x [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]   = 128calories/cup

B. Number of calories in 2 cups;

          Amount of calories = unit rate x number of cups

            Amount of calories  =  128calories/cup x 2cups

            Amount of calories  = 256calories

A. 46 thousand acres.
B. 148 thousand acres.
C. 296 thousand acres.
D. 92 thousand acres.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the acres of forest available for logging will increase at a rate given by

R(t) = 56/√t + 7

In order to determine the acre of forest that become available after 5 years, we will substitute t = 5 into the formula.

R(5) = 56/√5 + 7

R(5) = 56/2.236 + 7

R(5) = 25.044 + 7

R(5) =  32.044

The amount that will be available over the first five years is 32 thousand acres

The downward-right acute angle is labeled left parenthesis 4 y minus 5 right parenthesis degrees.

Answers

Answer:

m /_PTS = 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

Just took the quiz..

The measure of angle m∠PTS from the given figure is 55°.

From the given figure, the two angles are 11(y-10)° and (4y-5)°.

What is vertical angle theorem?

Vertical angles theorem or vertically opposite angles theorem states that two opposite vertical angles formed when two lines intersect each other are always equal (congruent) to each other.

Now, 11(y-10)° = (4y-5)°

⇒ 11y-110 = 4y-5

⇒ 11y-4y = -5+110

⇒ 7y = 105

⇒ y = 15

So, m∠PTS = 11(15-10)

= 55°

Therefore, the measure of angle m∠PTS from the given figure is 55°.

A real-valued function f is said to be periodic with period T ≠ 0 if f(x + T) = f(x) for all x in the domain of f. If T is the smallest positive value for which f(x + T) = f(x) holds, then T is called the fundamental period of f. Determine the fundamental period T of the given function. f(x) = cos(2πx)

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = cos 2πx

Thus the fundamental period T = 1  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

The periodic function f(x + T) = f(x)   T ≠ 0  provided that  T is the smallest positive value  for which f(x + T) = f(x) holds, then T is called the fundamental period of f.

Now, for the given function f(x) = cos(2πx)

suppose T = 1/4 since T ≠ 0  

Then:

f(x+ 1/4) = cos(2π (x + 1/4) )

f(x+ 1/4) = cos (2πx + π/2)

f(x+ 1/4) = -sin 2πx        (Not satisfied)

suppose T = 1/2 since T ≠ 0  

Then:

f(x+ 1/2) = cos(2π (x + 1/2) )

f(x+ 1/2) = cos (2πx + π)

f(x+ 1/2) = -cos 2πx        (Not satisfied)

suppose T = 1 since T ≠ 0  

Then:

f(x+ 1) = cos(2π (x + 1) )

f(x+ 1) = cos (2πx + 2π)

f(x+ 1) = cos 2πx      

f(x+ 1) =  f(x)

f(x) = cos 2πx      

Therefore, the fundamental period T = 1  since  f(x) = cos 2πx

Robbins How could this have happened? exclaimed Valancy as she surveyed the storage room full of ruined flowers. Micawber, who had been working with his best friend Valancy at Newflower Market for a year, had been responsible for closing the store the previous night. He hung his head in shame. I have no idea, V, he replied. I swear to you, I thought I closed the door and turned the temperature down. I followed the checklist exactly! Im going to get fired, arent I? Valancy looked at him sympathetically. Um, probably, she said. I wish I could lie to you, but this mistake is going to cost the company a lot of money. Mr. Sheepsnose will be here in a few minutes, and Ill tell him about the flowers then. Wait! cried Micawber. Maybe he doesnt have to know! We could tell him that someone broke into the store last night, and hell never have to know the truth. We can blame it on a disgruntled ex-employee. When 'Road Rage' Darryl got fired last week, he looked pretty disgruntled. No way, Valancy replied. I dont lie for anyone, and neither should you. Mr. Sheepsnose is a nice person, and hell be completely fair with you. There is no reason to make up a crazy story about a break-in. Micawber sighed and glumly sat on an overturned bucket. I guess youre right, he told his friend. I still dont know how I could be so stupid. Mr. Sheepsnose trusted me to close down the store, and Ive let him down. Now I'll never become the CEO of a Fortune-500 company." Good morning, kids, called Mr. Sheepsnose cheerfully as he walked into the store. Why the sad faces? Valancy busied herself with paperwork while Micawber stepped forward to face his supervisor. I have some bad news, sir, he told Mr. Sheepsnose. Somehow, I left the store last night without closing the storage room door, and all of the flowers were ruined. I have no idea how it happened, but I am so sorry. If you want to fire me, I completely understand. Mr. Sheepsnose surveyed the damaged flowers and his despondent employee over the rim of his half-glasses. Well, Micawber, I am impressed, said Mr. Sheepsnose. It took a lot of courage to tell the truth, and not many people would have done the same thing in your position. I know for a fact that you did close the storage room door last night because it was closed when I arrived at midnight. The building manager called me up here because the power went out for the whole block and shut down our refrigeration unit. That is why the flowers are ruinedit wasnt anything you did. Your job is safe, Micawber. In fact, I think I can give you even more responsibility now that youve proven yourself trustworthy. Mr. Sheepsnose patted his relieved employee on the shoulder and went to his office. Thanks for the great advice, Micawber told Valancy as he grabbed a broom and began sweeping the front room. He whistled a happy tune as he began to daydream about becoming a supervisor himself one day.24Select the correct answer.What is the best way to describe the theme of the story?A.
