A company prices its tornado insurance using the following assumptions:
• In any calendar year, there can be at most one tornado.
• In any calendar year, the probability of a tornado is 0.04.
• The number of tornadoes in any calendar year is independent of the number of tornados in any other calendar year.
Using the company's assumptions, calculate the probability that there are fewer than 2 tornadoes in a 14-year period.Round your answer to 4 decimals.

Answers

Answer 1

The correct answer is 0.4834

There can only be one tornado every year on the calendar. This indicates that there are only two conceivable outcomes of the event: either there will be one tornado or none at all.

The likelihood of a tornado in any given year is 0.14. This indicates that an event's chance of occurring is fixed. p = 0.14

The frequency of tornadoes in one year is unrelated to the quantity in other years. This indicates that the incidents are unrelated to one another.

The likelihood that there won't be more than two tornadoes in a 12-year period has to be calculated. This indicates that the number of trials, n, is set at 12.

p = 0.14

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.14 = 0.86

n = 12

x = 2

We need to find: P( x < 2)

Fewer than 2 tornadoes means either 1 or 0 tornado. So,

P(x < 2) = P(x=0) + P(x=1)

the likelihood of less than two tornadoes occurring in a 12-year period is 0.4834

What is Equation?

Two or more expressions with an equal sign is called as Equation.

Given that,

A concession stand sells drinks and hotdogs.

The number of drinks sold is 5 more than 4 times the number of hotdogs sold.

The stand sold 500 items.

Let the number of hotdogs=x

The number of drinks sold is 5 more than 4 times the number of hotdogs sold.

The number of drinks=5+4x

stand sold 500 items.

Let us formulate a equation by given data

5+4x=500

Let us separate the variable x on one side.

Subtract 5 on both sides

5+4x-5=500-5

4x=500-5

4x=495

Divide both sides by 4

x=123.25

Hence 123 hotdogs were sold in the concession stand.

Determine the ratio of the volume of the large sphere to the volume

Ratio =

Answers

Answer:

  1,225,043

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the ratio of volumes of spheres 428 inches and 4 inches in diameter.

Volume

The volume of a sphere in terms of its diameter is ...

  V = (π/6)d³

The ratio of the volumes of the larger to smaller sphere is ...

  [tex]\dfrac{V_{large}}{V_{small}}=\dfrac{\pi/6\cdot428^3}{\pi/6\cdot4^3}=\left(\dfrac{428}{4}\right)^3=107^3=\boxed{1,\!225,\!043}[/tex]

The ratio of volumes is 1,225,043.

The ratio of the volume of the large sphere to the volume of the small sphere is 1225043:1

The following is the formula for finding the volume of a sphere:

V = [tex]\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3[/tex]

Now, the normal assumption is that we must use the formula to calculate the volume of both spheres in order to compare. However, observe that in comparing the volume of two different spheres, the only difference between them is the radius, thus we can compare the two spheres directly in this way:

[tex]\frac{(radius of sphere B)^3 }{(radius of sphere A)^3}[/tex]

So,

[tex](\frac{428}{4})^3[/tex]

customers send emails to a help desk of an online retailer every 2 minutes, on average, and the standard deviation of the inter-arrival time is also 2 minutes. the online retailer has three employees answering emails. it takes 4 minutes to write a response email, on average. the standard deviation of the service times is 2 minutes. this is a g/g/k queue. what is the arrival rate? what is the service rate?

Answers

The arrival rate is found to be 30 emails per hour and the service rate is calculated to be 45 emails per hour.

It has been mentioned in the question that in every 2 minutes, customers send emails to a help desk of an online retailer, on an average, and the standard deviation of the inter-arrival time is also given to be 2 minutes. The online retailer has three employees for answering those emails.

It takes almost 4 minutes to write a response email to the customer, on average. The standard deviation (SD) of the service times is 2 minutes. This is a g/g/k type queue.

Therefore the arrival rate per hour is given by the following relation:

Arrival rate in 1 hr = No. of minutes in an hr / inter arrival time of email taken in minutes

Given here,

No. of minutes in an hour = 60 minutes

Inter arrival time of the email taken in minutes = 2 minutes

Arrival rate in 1 hr = 60 / 2

                                = 30 emails / hr

Hence the arrival rate is 30 emails per hour.

Now for finding out the service rate we have the following formula:

Service rate = No. of minutes in an hr x No. of employes answering/ average time that is required to write response email

Given here,

No. of minutes in an hr = 60 minutes

No. of employes answering = 3

Average time that for writing response email = 2 minutes

∴ Service rate = 60 * 3 / 4

                       = 45 emails / hr

Hence the service rate is 45 emails per hour.

Which expression is equivalent to (1)/(2^(-2)*3^(-2)) ?

Answers

Answer:

B Description is in the picture

Answer:

[tex]2^2*3^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition of a negative exponent: [tex](\frac{a}{b})^{-x}=(\frac{b}{a})^x=\frac{b^x}{a^x}[/tex]

In the last step I simply distributed the exponent, but this actually goes both ways! So we can do: [tex]\frac{b^x}{a^x}\implies(\frac{b}{a})^x[/tex]

The next thing you need to know is that: [tex](ab)^x=a^x*b^x[/tex]

and like the previous statement, it works both ways! So this means: [tex]a^x*b^x\implies (ab)^x[/tex]

So the denominator of the expression given can be expressed as:

[tex](2^{-2}*3^{-2})\implies (2*3)^{-2}[/tex]

Lastly you need to understand: [tex]1^x[/tex] just simplifies to one, because [tex]1*1*1*1...\text{ x amount of times}[/tex] will stay equal to one. So we can thing of 1 as being raised to some number, even if not explicitly stated.

This helps because we can write one as: [tex]1^{-2}[/tex]

so now we have the expression:
[tex]\frac{1^{-2}}{(3*2)^{-2}}[/tex]

Well this can because now we can "factor" out this exponent just like how it was demonstrated in the beginning

We get the expression: [tex](\frac{1}{3*2})^{-2}[/tex]

Now we use the definition of a negative exponent, to get the reciprocal giving us the expression

[tex](\frac{3*2}{1})^{2}[/tex]

We can now "distribute" this exponent across the division to get

[tex]\frac{(3*2)^2}{1^2}[/tex]

Well 1 squared just simplifies to 1, so it's redundant to write.

This gives us the expression:
[tex](3*2)^2[/tex]

and as stated before we can distribute this across multiplication, and another way to think of it is:

[tex](3*2)^2\implies (3^2*2^2)\\\\\\text{because } (3*2)^2\implies (3*2)*(3*2)\implies(3*3)*(2*2)[/tex]

we're just grouping the like terms, so we can write them as an exponent.

So this gives us our final expression:
[tex]3^2*2^2[/tex]

or

[tex]2^2*3^2[/tex]

which is the option B, since the order in which we multiply does not matter.

Answers

The total cost of the skateboard after being discounted by 12% and then sales tax of 6.75% is$74.22.

What is the percentage?

The percentage is defined as a given amount in every hundred. It is a fraction with 100 as the denominator percentage is represented by the one symbol %.

As per the given,

Usually, the price of the skateboard = $79.01

The 12% of 79.01 ⇒ (12/100)79.01 = $9.4812

The price after a 12% discount

79.01 - 9.4812 = $69.5288

The 6.75% of 69.5288 ⇒(6.75/100)69.5288 = $4.693194

The total price after applying the 6.75% tax,

$69.5288 + $4.693194 = $74.22

Answers

The continuous growth rate per year of the world population is 0.664%.

What is defined as Exponential Growth?Exponential growth occurs when the growth of a quantity at any point in time has been proportional towards its value at that point. If we have a few numbers, we could use simple exponential growth models to determine the population.

We've been told to assume that population is growing at an exponential rate. As a result, we can employ the population model shown below.

N(t) = N₀ e∧(kt)

Here, N(t) represents the population after t years, N₀ represents the initial population, and k represents the continuous growth rate.

We've been told that initial population of 6.9 billion will increase to 9 billion in 40 years (2050-2010).

To use this information, we calculate the growth rate using the model described below.

N(40) = 6.9 e∧(40k)

N(40) = 9 (given)

9 =  6.9 e∧(40k)

Taking ㏑ both side

㏑ 9 = ㏑ 6.9 e∧(40k)

40k = ㏑(9/6.9)

k = 0.00664

k = 0.664%

Thus, the continuous growth rate per year of the world population is 0.664%.
