Does it pay to ask for a raise? A national survey of heads of households showed the percentage of those who asked for a raise and the percentage who got one. According to the survey, of the men interviewed, 21% had asked for a raise and 60% of the men who had asked for a raise received the raise. If a man is selected at random from the survey population of men, find the following probabilities. (Enter your answers to three decimal places.)
Answers
Answer:
a) P(man asked for a raise) = 0.21.
b) P(man received raise, given he asked for one) = 0.6.
c) P(man asked for raise and received raise) = 0.126.
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:
21% asked for a raise, so:
P(man asked for a raise) = 0.21.
Question b:
Event A: Asked for a raise.
Event B: Received a raise:
21% had asked for a raise and 60% of the men who had asked for a raise received the raise:
This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.21, P(A \cap B) = 0.21*0.6[/tex], thus:
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.21*0.6}{0.6} = 0.6[/tex]
P(man received raise, given he asked for one) = 0.6.
Question c:
[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.21*0.6 = 0.126[/tex]
P(man asked for raise and received raise) = 0.126.

AC if TC = 20q + 10q^2?
Answers
Answer:
AC = (20+ 10q)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Total cost, TC = 20q + 10q²
We need to find AC i.e. average cost.
It can be solved as follows :
[tex]AC=\dfrac{TC}{q}\\\\AC=\dfrac{20q + 10q^2}{q}\\\\AC=\dfrac{q(20+ 10q)}{q}\\\\AC={(20+ 10q)}[/tex]
So, the value of AC is (20+ 10q).

Is the distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit a discrete random variable, a continuous random variable, or not a random variable?
Answers
Answer: a continuous random variable
Step-by-step explanation:
Can you count the distance it traveled? You can't, so it couldn't be discrete because you can count discrete variables.
Can you measure the distance it traveled? You sure can, that makes it a continuous random variable.
Do you know the exact distance it's going to travel? You won't, therefore it's a random variable since you don't know the value beforehand.

Step-by-step explanation:
Except when counting large sums of money or considering definitions, most real-world numbers are not accurate beyond about 6 significant figures. When considering survey or sample results, the accuracy can be considerably less than that, often not even good to 3 significant figures. (Margin of error is usually some number of percentage points greater than 1.)
Expressing the given ratios to 10 significant figures substantially misstates their accuracy. (10^-9 television is less than 1 day's accumulated dust).

if 18 : 6 = x : 3 then what is 5 + 3x
Answers
Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
18 : 6 = 3
therefore, x : 3 has to equal 3.
X : 3 = 3
X = 3 × 3
X = 9
To verify:
18 : 6 = 9 : 3
3 = 3
It's true that X = 9, so now just replace the X with 9 in the next equation
5 + 3(9) = 32
Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
18 : 6 = x : 3
Product of means = Product of extremes
6 * x = 3*18
x = [tex]\frac{3*18}{6}[/tex]
x = 3*3
x = 9
Now plugin x = 9 in the expression
5 + 3x = 5 + 3*9
= 5 + 27

Let the initial numbers of apples is a.
An gave 17 apples
Chi gave 19 apples
So,
x - 19 = 5 (x - 17 + x)
x - 19 = 5 (2x - 17)
x - 19 = 10 x - 85

Answer:
[tex](a)\ Area = 13.0695[/tex]
[tex](b)\ Area = 26.139[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached image
Solving (a): The area (one side up)
This is calculated as:
Area= Area of semicircle + Area of rectangle
So, we have:
[tex]Area = \pi r^2 + l *w[/tex]
Where:
[tex]l,w =2,3[/tex] --- the rectangle dimension
[tex]d = 3[/tex] --- the diameter of the semicircle
So, we have:
[tex]Area = \pi * (3/2)^2 + 2 * 3[/tex]
[tex]Area = \pi * 2.25 + 6[/tex]
[tex]Area = 2.25\pi + 6[/tex]
[tex]Area = 2.25*3.142 + 6[/tex]
[tex]Area = 13.0695[/tex]
Solving (b): Area when both leaves are up.
Simply multiply the area in (a) by 2
[tex]Area = 2 * 13.0695[/tex]
[tex]Area = 26.139[/tex]

E(X) = 1.55

CNBC recently reported that the mean annual cost of auto insurance is 1013 dollars. Assume the standard deviation is 284 dollars. You take a simple random sample of 56 auto insurance policies. Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is less than 995 dollars. P(X < 995)
Answers
Answer:
P(X < 995) = 0.4761
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
CNBC recently reported that the mean annual cost of auto insurance is 1013 dollars. Assume the standard deviation is 284 dollars.
This means that [tex]\mu = 1013, \sigma = 284[/tex]
Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is less than 995 dollars.
This is the p-value of Z when X = 995. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{995 - 1013}{284}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.06[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.06[/tex] has a p-value of 0.4761. So

Normal with mean 115 and standard deviation 25.
This means that [tex]\mu = 115, \sigma = 25[/tex]
Determine the interval of values that is centered at the mean and for which 50% of the students have IQ's in that interval.
Between the 50 - (50/2) = 25th percentile and the 50 + (50/2) = 75th percentile.
25th percentile:
X when Z has a p-value of 0.25, so X when Z = -0.675.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-0.675 = \frac{X - 115}{25}[/tex]
[tex]X - 115 = -0.675*25[/tex]
[tex]X = 98[/tex]
75th percentile:
X when Z has a p-value of 0.75, so X when Z = 0.675.

A cyclist rides at an average speed of 25 miles per hour. If she wants to bike 195 km, how long (in hours) must she ride
Answers
1km = 0.621371miles
195 km= ?
cross multiplication
= 121.167 miles
25 miles= 1hour
121.167miles = ?hours
121.167=25x
divide by 25x both sides
=4.84 hours
approx 5hours
She must ride for 5 hours if she wants to bike 195 km.
What is Average speed?Average speed is defined as the ratio of the total distance traveled by a body to the total time taken for the body to reach its destination.
Given that cyclist rides at an average speed of 25 miles per hour.
Since 1 km = 0.621371 miles
So 195 km = 121.167 miles
The speed of the cyclist (s) = 24 miles per hour.
Distance covered by the rider = 195 km
Distance covered by the rider (d) = 121.167 miles
By using the formula, time taken by a body, we calculate the time,
⇒ t = d/s
Substitute the value of d and s in above the equation
⇒ t = 121.167/ 24
Apply the division operation,
⇒ t = 5
Hence, she must ride for 5 hours if she wants to bike 195 km.
