Suppose that 30% of the applicants for a certain industrial job possess advanced training in computer programming. Applicants are interviewed sequentially and are selected at random from the pool.
(a) Find the probability that the first applicant with advanced training in programming is found on the fifth interview.
(b) What is the expected number of applicants who need to be interviewed in order to find the first one with advanced training?
(c) Let Y denote the number of the trial on which the first applicant with computer training was found. If each interview costs $30, find the expected value and variance of the total cost incurred interviewing candidates until an applicant with advanced computer training is found.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Assume X represents the no. interviewed until 1 has advanced training.

X obeys a Geometric distribution with parameter 0.3.

X  [tex]\sim[/tex] Geom (0.30)

For geometric distribution, the probability density is:

[tex]P(X =x) = p(1-p) ^{x-1} \ \ \ where; x =1,2,3...[/tex]

TO calculate the required probability;

[tex]P(X =5) =0.30 (1-0.30)^{5-1}[/tex]

[tex]P(X =5) =0.30 (0.70)^{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(X=5) = 0.30 \times 0.2401[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(X=5) = 0.07203}[/tex]

(b)

The expected no. of applicants that need to be interviewed are:

[tex]E(X)=\dfrac{1}{p}[/tex]

[tex]E(X)=\dfrac{1}{0.30}[/tex]

E(X) = 3.33

(c)

The mean and the variance can be computed as:

[tex]E(Y) = \dfrac{1}{p}[/tex]

[tex]E(Y) = \dfrac{1}{0.30}[/tex]

E(Y) = 3.33

[tex]V(Y)=\dfrac{1-p}{p^2}[/tex]

[tex]V(Y)=\dfrac{1-0.3}{0.3^2}[/tex]

[tex]V(Y)=\dfrac{0.7}{0.3^2}[/tex]

[tex]V(Y)=7.778[/tex]

Suppose  C represents the no. of the total cost and given that each interview costs $30.

Then C = 30Y

Recall that; C is constant for a random variable X

E(C) = E(30Y)

E(C) = 30E(Y)

E(C) = 30*3.33

E(C) =99.9

E(C) [tex]\simeq[/tex] 100

V(C) = V(30Y)

V(C) = 900 V(Y)

V(C) = 900*7.778

V(C) = 7000.2

V(C) [tex]\simeq[/tex] 7000

What is x when 44x=78

Answers

X= 1.77
Hope this helps :)

Answer:

≈ 1.77

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are looking for x in 44(x) = 78.

All we have to do is isolate the variable, get x by itself.

Divide 44 by both sides :

[tex]\frac{44x}{44} = \frac{78}{44}[/tex]

[tex]x = 1.772727272723[/tex]

Which can be rounded to 1.77

Why do you think it’s important for students to learn about math

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Math is in our everyday lives. We calculate and use math in our daily lives without knowing it. By learning math, we build on useful knowledge that will help us have a better future. For example, learning how to pay taxes acquire math. Grocery shopping needs you to find the cost of the product you’re buying. When we learn math, we gain knowledge and we can pass that knowledge to our future generations so more and more people can use it to find better jobs, make your life easier, and so much more.

Gabriel went shopping for a new camera. The listed price of the camera was $37, but the price with tax came to $40.33. Find the percent sales tax.

Answers

Answer: 9% sales tax

Step-by-step explanation: 40.33-37=3.33

so, now we got to divide 3.33 by 37 (3.33/37) and that = 0.09. Now we got to do 0.09x100 and you get 9%. So basically, subtract, divide, and multiply by 100

A sign says that the price marked on all music equipment is 30℅ off the original price. you buy an electric guitar for the sale price of $315. How much money did you save

Answers


a. So the electric guitar is sold for a sale price of $315 after the discount. The discount was 30%. Even though we get that amount off, we still pay 70% of the original price, because 100% (original price) - 30% is 70%.

b. An equation that can help us find the regular price of the item is through writing and solving a proportion. Set it up like this:

315/x = 70/100

This is because 315 is part of the whole and is 70% of the value of x.

How to solve it:

Okay. Let's solve this by cross multiplying the values. 315 * 100 is 31,500. 70 * x is 70x. That simplifies to 31,500 = 70x. Didivde each side by 70 to isolate the x. 70x/70 cancels out. 31,500/70 is 450. Let's check this by multiply the number by 70% and see what happens. 450 * 70% (0.7) is 315. There. x = 450. The regular price was $450

Answer: You are correct. The answer is choice A. Nice work.

Explanation:

Assuming Ramon did his steps correctly, ending up with 53 = 477 means that the original equation doesn't have any solutions.

Consider an example such as x+5 = x+6

We can subtract x from both sides to end up with 5 = 6, but that's a false statement. So no value of x can be plugged into x+5 = x+6 to lead to a solution. This idea applies to Ramon's original equation. The equation 53 = 477 is a contradiction (the left side contradicts the right side since the numbers don't match).

The tickets for the school play are $7.00 for adults and $5.00 for students. There were 100 tickets sold. If the total profit was $550.00, how many of each were sold?

Answers

Answer:

25 adult tickets and 75 student tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the tickets for the school play are $ 7.00 for adults and $ 5.00 for students, and that there were 100 tickets sold generating a total profit of $ 550.00, to determine how many of each were sold the following calculation must be performed:

100 x 5 = 500

550 - 500 = 50

7 - 5 = 2

50/2 = 25

100 - 25 = 75

(25 x 7) + (75 x 5) = X

175 + 375 = 550

Therefore, 25 adult tickets and 75 student tickets were sold.

-26 -2x = 13 - 5x
