a company has decreased the weight of its boxes of macaroni by 8 %. if the new weight of the box is 13.1ounces, what was the original weight of the​ box?

Answer:

a) 0.55 = 55% probability that the person is traveling on business

b) 0.14 = 14% probability that the person is traveling for business on a privately owned plane.

c) 0.2545 = 25.45% probability that the person arrived on a privately owned plane, given that the person is traveling for business reasons.

d) 0.2 = 20% probability that the person is traveling on business, given that the person is flying on a commercially owned plane.

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.

Question a:

50% of 60%(major airlines)

70% of 20%(privately owned airplanes)

80% of 100 - (60+20) = 20%(comercially owned airplanes). So

[tex]p = 0.5*0.5 + 0.7*0.2 + 0.8*0.2 = 0.55[/tex]

0.55 = 55% probability that the person is traveling on business.

Question b:

70% of 20%, so:

[tex]p = 0.7*0.2 = 0.14[/tex]

0.14 = 14% probability that the person is traveling for business on a privately owned plane.

Question c:

Event A: Traveling for business reasons.

Event B: Privately owned plane.

0.55 = 55% probability that the person is traveling on business.

This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.55[/tex]

0.14 = 14% probability that the person is traveling for business on a privately owned plane.

This means that [tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.14[/tex]

Desired probability:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.14}{0.55} = 0.2545[/tex]

0.2545 = 25.45% probability that the person arrived on a privately owned plane, given that the person is traveling for business reasons.

Question d:

Event A: Commercially owned plane.

Event B: Business

80% of those arriving on other commercially owned planes are traveling for business reasons.

This means that:

[tex]P(B|A) = 0.2[/tex]

0.2 = 20% probability that the person is traveling on business, given that the person is flying on a commercially owned plane.

Answer:

The sum of 4 consecutive odd number is 80

Let X be the first of these numbers

Then the next odd number is X+2

The third is X+4The fourth is X+6

All of these add up to 80

(X) + (X+2) + (X+4) + (X+6) = 80

Using the commutative and associative laws, let's transform this equation into

(X + X + X + X) + (2 + 4 + 6) = 804X + 12 = 80

Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation gives4X = 68

Divide both sides by 4 gives

X = 17

Going back to the original question:What are the 4 consecutive odd numbers: 17, 19, 21, 23Checking our answer:17 + 19 + 21 + 23 = 80 Correct!

Answer:

y = -1/4x+1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x - 3

This is in slope intercept form, y = mx+b where the slope is m

The slope is 4

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals

-1/4 is the slope of the perpendicular line

y = -1/4x+b

Using the point (2,0)

0 = -1/4(2)+b

0 = -1/2+b

b = 1/2

y = -1/4x+1/2

The pair of functions that are inverses of each other is B. f(x) = 2x - 9 and g(x) = x + 9/2.

To determine if two functions are inverses of each other, we need to check if the composition of the functions results in the identity function, which is f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x.

Let's analyze the given options:

A. f(x) = 5 + x and g(x) = 5 - x

To check if they are inverses, we compute f(g(x)) = f(5 - x) = 5 + (5 - x) = 10 - x, which is not equal to x. Similarly, g(f(x)) = g(5 + x) = 5 - (5 + x) = -x, which is also not equal to x. Therefore, these functions are not inverses.

B. f(x) = 2x - 9 and g(x) = x + 9/2

By calculating f(g(x)) and g(f(x)), we find that f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x, which means these functions are inverses of each other.

C. f(x) = 3 - 6 and g(x) = x + 6/2

Similar to option A, we compute f(g(x)) and g(f(x)), and find that they are not equal to x. Hence, these functions are not inverses.

D. f(x) = x/3 + 4 and g(x) = 3x - 4

After evaluating f(g(x)) and g(f(x)), we see that f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x. Therefore, these functions are inverses of each other.

In summary, the pair of functions that are inverses of each other is B. f(x) = 2x - 9 and g(x) = x + 9/2.

y = - (1) - 3

y = -1 - 3

y = -4

Answer: x=4, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you meant [tex]x^3-7x^2+8x+16[/tex], the zeros of the question are x = 4 and -1.

Step 1. Replace f(x) with y.

[tex]y = x^3-7x^2+8x+16[/tex]

Step 2. To find the roots of the equation, replace y with 0 and solve.

[tex]0 = x^3-7x^2+8x+16[/tex]

Step 3. Factor the left side of the equation.

[tex](x-4)^2 (x+1)=0[/tex]

Step 4. Set x-4 equal to 0 and solve for x.

[tex]x-4=0[/tex]

Step 5. Set [tex]x+1[/tex] equal to 0 and solve for x.

[tex]x=-1[/tex]

g(x) = ---------

Answer:

i dont know lol

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

a) 0.0156 = 1.56% probability that all children will develop the disease.

b) 0.4219 = 42.19% probability that only one child will develop the disease.

c) 0.1406 = 14.06% probability that the third children will develop the disease, given that the first two did not.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each children, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they carry the disease, or they do not. The probability of a children carrying the disease is independent of any other children, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

The probability that their offspring will develop the disease is approximately .25.

This means that [tex]p = 0.25[/tex]

Three children:

This means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]

Question a:

This is P(X = 3). So

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

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{0} = 0.0156[/tex]

0.0156 = 1.56% probability that all children will develop the disease.

Question b:

This is P(X = 1). So

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

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{3,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{2} = 0.4219[/tex]

0.4219 = 42.19% probability that only one child will develop the disease.

c. The third child will develop Tay–Sachs disease, given that the first two did not.

Third independent of the first two, so just multiply the probabilities.

First two do not develop, each with 0.75 probability.

Third develops, which 0.25 probability. So

[tex]p = 0.75*0.75*0.25 = 0.1406[/tex]

0.1406 = 14.06% probability that the third children will develop the disease, given that the first two did not.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need the Law of Cosines for this, namely:

[tex]x^2=21^2+14^2-2(21)(14)cos58[/tex] where x is the missing side.

[tex]x^2=441+196-311.5925[/tex] and

[tex]x^2=325.4075[/tex] so

x = 18.0 or just 18
