When studying radioactive material, a nuclear engineer found that over 365 days,
1,000,000 radioactive atoms decayed to 970,258 radioactive atoms, so 29,742 atoms
decayed during 365 days.
a. Find the mean number of radioactive atoms that decayed in a day.
b. Find the probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.
a. The mean number of radioactive atoms that decay per day is
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The mean number of radioactive atoms that decay per day is 81.485.

b) 0% probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.

Step-by-step explanation:

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^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

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

a. Find the mean number of radioactive atoms that decayed in a day.

29,742 atoms decayed during 365 days, which means that:

[tex]\lambda = \frac{29742}{365} = 81.485[/tex]

The mean number of radioactive atoms that decay per day is 81.485.

b. Find the probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.

This is P(X = 50). So

[tex]P(X = 50) = \frac{e^{-81.485}*(81.485)^{50}}{(50)!} = 0[/tex]

0% probability that on a given day, 50 radioactive atoms decayed.

Angles A and B are complementary. If sin A = 4x + 10 and cos B = 2x + 16, what is the value of x? (

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What are complementary angles?

They are angles that up to 90

So we have Sin A and Cos B

4x + 10+ 2x + 16= 90

6x+ 26= 90

6x= 90-26

6x= 64

In order to win a prize, Heather randomly draws two balls from a basket of 40. There are 25 blue balls, and the rest are green balls. Of the blue balls, 12% are winning balls. Of the green balls, 20% are winning balls. Calculate the expected number of winning balls that Heather draws.

Answers

Answer:

The expected number of winning balls that Heather draws is 0.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The balls are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[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]

Expected value of the hypergeometric distribution:

The expected value is given by:

[tex]E(X) = \frac{nk}{N}[/tex]

Expected number of blue and green balls:

40 balls, which means that [tex]N = 40[/tex]

2 are chosen, which means that [tex]n = 2[/tex]

25 are blue, which means that [tex]k = 25[/tex]

So

[tex]E(X) = \frac{nk}{N} = \frac{25(2)}{40} = 1.25[/tex]

1.25 balls are expected to be blue and 2 - 1.25 = 0.75 green.

Of the blue balls, 12% are winning.

Of the green balls, 20% are winning.

Calculate the expected number of winning balls that Heather draws.

[tex]E_w = 1.25*0.12 + 0.75*0.2 = 0.3[/tex]

The expected number of winning balls that Heather draws is 0.3.

Answers

Answer: hi your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Suppose we increase the overall number of doctors in the U.S. in all fields and specialties of medical practice by equal percentages, which would shift the supply curves in all the respective medical practice markets. Suppose we were to analyze two separate medical practice markets: Plastic Surgery Cardiology Which markets' price would be most impacted by this increase in the supply of doctors? Which markets' quantity would be most impacted by this increase in the supply of doctors?

answer :

Change in Market price = Cardiology

Change in Quantity = Plastic surgery

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we are analyzing two separate markets with different levels of importance .

The demand for plastic surgery is more elastic when compared with Cardiology and this is due to the importance of Cardiology over plastic surgery.

The market price that will be affected by the increase in doctors supply is Cardiology market price while the Market quantity that would be affected by the increase is quantity of  Plastic surgery

If you pick a card at random from a well shuffled deck, what is the probability that you get an even card or a spade

Answers

Answer:

The probability that you get an even card or a spade is P = 0.596

Step-by-step explanation:

In a deck of 52 cards, all the cards have the exact same probability of being drawn.

So, the probability of drawing an even card of a spade, will be equal to the quotient between the number of even cards and spades, and the total number of cards (52).

First, let's found the number of even cards and spades.

There are 13 spades.

For each set, the even cards are:

{2. 4, 6, 8, 10}

(not counting the queen as a "12")

Then for each set, there are 6 even cards.

(there are four sets but we already counted the 6 even cards from the spade set, so we ignore that set)

Then there are 3 sets with 6 even cards each, there are:

3*6 = 18 even cards

So we have:

13 spades + 18 even cards = 31 cards that meet the condition.

The probability is then:

P = 31/52 = 0.596

The probability that you get an even card or a spade is P = 0.596

John runs a computer software store. Yesterday he counted 125 people who walked by the store, 58 of whom came into the store. Of the 58, only 21 bought something in the store. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.
(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.
(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.46 = 46% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

b) 0.36 = 36% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

c) 0.17 = 17% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

d) 0.64 = 64% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

58 out of 125. So

[tex]p = \frac{58}{125} = 0.46[/tex]

0.46 = 46% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

58 walked, 21 bought. So

[tex]p = \frac{21}{58} = 0.36[/tex]

0.36 = 36% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

21 came in and bought out of 125 that walked by. So

[tex]p = \frac{21}{125} = 0.17[/tex]

0.17 = 17% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

0.36 probability that a person buys something, so 1 - 0.36 = 0.64 = 64% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

At noon, ship A is 150 km west of ship B. Ship A is sailing east at 30 km/h and ship B is sailing north at 25 km/h. How fast is the distance between the ships changing at 4:00 PM?

Answers

Answer:

At 4:00 PM the distance between the two ships is 104.40 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that at noon, ship A is 150 km west of ship B, and ship A is sailing east at 30 km / h and ship B is sailing north at 25 km / h, to determine how fast is the distance between the ships changing at 4:00 PM the following calculation must be performed:

150 - (30 x 4) = 150 - 120 = 30

0 + (25 x 4) = 0 + 100 = 100

30 ^ 2 + 100 ^ 2 = X ^ 2

√ (900 + 10,000) = X

√10,900 = X

104.40 = X

Therefore, at 4:00 PM the distance between the two ships is 104.40 kilometers.
