Suppose that Haley encounter two traffic lights on her commute to GGC campus. Based on

her past experience, she judge that the probability is 0.35 that the first light will be red when she gets to it,

0.45 that the second light will be red, and 0.20 that both lights will be red. Let R1 denote the event that the

first light is red, and let R2 denote the event that the second light is red.

a) Determine the probability that at least one light will be red. (Show how you calculate this.)

b) Determine the conditional probability that the second light will be red given that the first light is

red. (Show how you calculate this.)

c) Are the events R1 and R2 independent? Justify your answer numerically.

d) Are the events R1 and R2 disjoint (mutually exclusive)? Justify your answer numerically.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is,

P (R₁) = 0.35

P (R₂) = 0.45

P (R₁ ∩ R₂) = 0.20

(a)

Compute the probability that at least one light will be red as follows:

P (at least one light will be red) = P (R₁ ∪ R₂)

                                                    = P (R₁) + P (R₂) - P (R₁ ∩ R₂)

                                                    = 0.35 + 0.45 - 0.20

                                                    = 0.60

Thus, the probability that at least one light will be red is 0.60.

(b)

Compute the conditional probability that the second light will be red given that the first light is red as follows:

[tex]P(R_{2}|R_{1})=\frac{P(R_{1}\cap R_{2})}{P(R_{1})}[/tex]

                [tex]=\frac{0.20}{0.35}\\\\=0.571428\\\\\approx 0.57[/tex]

Thus, the conditional probability that the second light will be red given that the first light is red is 0.57.

(c)

If two events, say A and B are independent then:

P (A|B) = P (A).

The value of P (R₂ | R₁) = 0.57.

And the value of P (R₂) = 0.45

P (R₂ | R₁) ≠ P (R₂)

Thus, the events R₁ and R₂ are not independent.

(d)

If two events, say A and B are mutually exclusive then:

P (A ∩ B) = 0

The value of P (R₁ ∩ R₂) = 0.20.

Thus, the events R₁ and R₂ are not mutually exclusive.

Restless Leg Syndrome and Fibromyalgia
People with restless leg syndrome have a strong urge to move their legs to stop uncomfortable sensations. People with fibromyalgia suffer pain and tenderness in joints throughout the body. A recent study indicates that people with fibromyalgia are much more likely to have restless leg syndrome than people without the disease. The study indicates that, for people with fibromyalgia, the probability is 0.33 of having restless leg syndrome, while for people without fibromyalgia, the probability is 0.03. About 2% of the population has fibromyalgia. Create a tree diagram from this information and use it to find the probability that a person with restless leg syndrome has fibromyalgia.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that a person with restless leg syndrome has fibromyalgia is 0.183.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

F = a person with fibromyalgia

R = a person having restless leg syndrome

The information provided is as follows:

P (R | F) = 0.33

P (R | F') = 0.03

P (F) = 0.02

Consider the tree diagram attached below.

Compute the probability that a person with restless leg syndrome has fibromyalgia as follows:

[tex]P(F|R)=\frac{P(R|F)P(F)}{P(R|F)P(F)+P(R|F')P(F')}[/tex]

            [tex]=\frac{(0.33\times 0.02)}{(0.33\times 0.02)+(0.03\times 0.98)}\\\\=\frac{0.0066}{0.0066+0.0294}\\\\=0.183333\\\\\approx 0.183[/tex]

Thus, the probability that a person with restless leg syndrome has fibromyalgia is 0.183.

You are playing a video game. For each diamond you collect, you earn 110 points. You also earn 80 bonus points by completing the level in less than 2 minutes. You need to earn more than 1620 points to continue on to the next level. Write and solve an inequality that represents the numbers d of diamonds you must collect in less than 2 minutes to advance to the next level.

Answers

Answer:

110d + 80 > 1620

d > 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of points from collecting diamonds can be represented by 110d, since you get 110 points for each diamond, d

Add 80 to this to represent the bonus points.

Use a greater than inequality, because you have to get more than 1620 points.

Put this all together:

110d + 80 > 1620

Then, solve for d:

110d + 80 > 1620

110d > 1540

d > 14

So, you have to collect more than 14 diamonds in less than 2 minutes in order to advance to the next level.

Aging workers of the Neotropical termite, Neocapritermes taracua, develop blue crystal containing glands ("backpacks") on their backs, When they fight intruding termites and are hampered, these "blue" termites explode, and the glands spew a sticky liquid (Sobotnik et al. 2012). The following data are from an experiment that measured the toxicity of the blue substance. A single drop of the liquid extracted from blue termites was placed on individuals of a second termite species, Labiotermes labralis, and the number that were immobilized (dead or paralyzed) within 60 minutes was recorded. The frequency of this outcome was compared with a control treatment in which liquid from glands of "white" termites lacking the blue crystals was dropped instead.
Is the blue liquid toxic compared to liquid from white termites?
Liquid source Unharmed Immobilized
Blue workers 3 37
White workers 31 9

Answers

Answer:

Yes blue liquid is toxic

Step-by-step explanation:

H0: p1 = p2

H1: p1>p2

For blue

We calculate proportion as

37/40 = 0.925

For white

9/40 = 0.2250

To get p

(X1 + x2)/(n1 + n2)

= 0.5750

After calculating the z as statistic (please check attachment) I got 6.33

P value = 0.0000

We reject null hypothesis and say in conclusion that enough evidence exists for us to say blu liquid is toxic!

diride 660cm in the ratio of 5:6​

Answers

Answer:

Thus, the measure 660 cm is divided into 300 + 360 in the ratio of 5:6

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

We are required to divide 660 cm in the ratio 5:6, or 5/6.

Let's call:

x = first part of 660

660 - x = second part of 660

The ratio between them is 5/6.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x}{660-x}=\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

The above equation will result in x as the smaller part of 660.

Multiply by (660-x)*6 to eliminate denominators:

[tex]\displaystyle (660-x)*6\cdot\frac{x}{660-x}=(660-x)*6\cdot\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]6x=(660-x)*5[/tex]

[tex]6x=3300-5x[/tex]

Simplifying:

[tex]6x+5x=3300[/tex]

[tex]11x=3300[/tex]

Solving:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{3300}{11}=300[/tex]

The other part is 660 - 300 = 360

Thus, the measure 660 cm is divided into 300 + 360 in the ratio of 5:6

Salena needs to purchase 9 skirts for a new job. her friend, Jamie goes with her each of the skirts costs $41. Salena says that she can find the total cost by multiplying 9 and 4 and adding that to product of 9 and 1. Jamie disagrees and says that she needs to find the product of 9 and 40 and add that to the product of 9 and 1. Who is correct and why?

Answers

Answer:

Jamie is correct. This is because 41 is a combination of 40 and 1. Salena thinks that the 4 is just a 4, however, the 4 is in the tens place, so the 41 without the 1 is 40. The answer to this 41 times 9 is 369. Not 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each skirt is $41

Salena needs 9

(9*40) + (9*1)

360   +   9

    $369

How do you find what p is?

Answers

Answer:

p > -3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an alternating p-series.  It is absolutely convergent if│an│converges.  1 / nᵖ⁺³ converges if the exponent is greater than 1.

p + 3 > 1

p > -2

The series is conditionally convergent if │an│diverges.  1 / nᵖ⁺³ diverges if the exponent is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1.

0 < p + 3 ≤ 1

-3 < p ≤ -2

Combining these two, we get p > -3.
