In recent years, business failures in the United States numbered 63509. The chemical industry accounted for 9499 of these business failures. The Mid-West states accounted for 7900 of the business failures. Suppose that 1270 of all business failures were chemical businesses located in the Mid-West. A failed business is randomly selected from this list of business failures. What is the probability that the business is in the chemical industry if it is known that the business is located in the Mid-West

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1608 = 16.08% probability that the business is in the chemical industry if it is known that the business is located in the Mid-West.

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.

In this question:

Event A: Failed business in the Midwest.

Event B: Chemical industry.

Probability of failed business being in the Mid-West:

7900 out of 63509. So

[tex]P(A) = \frac{7900}{63509}[/tex]

Probability of a failed business being a chemical industry in the Mid-West.

1270 out of 63509. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = \frac{1270}{63509}[/tex]

What is the probability that the business is in the chemical industry if it is known that the business is located in the Mid-West?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{\frac{1270}{63509}}{\frac{7900}{63509}} = \frac{1270}{7900} = 0.1608[/tex]

0.1608 = 16.08% probability that the business is in the chemical industry if it is known that the business is located in the Mid-West.

Find the answer to b and check if a is correct and explain plsss

Answers

Answer:

a. 105.84 cm²

b. 136 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The prism is a cube

Surface area of the cube = 6a²

a = 4.2 cm

Plug in the value

Surface area = 6*4.2²

Surface area = 105.84 cm²

b. The prism is a triangular prism

Surface area of triangular prism = bh + L(s1 + s2 + s3)

b = 6 ft

h = 4 ft

L = 7 ft

s1 = 5 ft

s2 = 5 ft

s3 = 6 ft

Surface area = 6*4 + 7(5 + 5 + 6)

Surface area = 24 +7(16)

Surface area = 24 + 112

Surface area = 136 cm²

If y=e3t is a solution to the differential equation
d2ydt2−9dydt+ky=0,
find the value of the constant k and the general solution to this equation.​

Answers

Answer:

k=18, general solution does not exist.

Step-by-step explanation:

If f(t)=y=e3t is a solution to the differential equation

d2ydt2−9dydt+ky=0,

then

y = e^(3t)

y' = dy/dt = 3y

y'' = d2ydt2 = 9y

y'' - 9y' + ky = 0

9y - 9(3y) + ky = 0

(9-27+k)y = 0

solve for y

(9-27+k) = 0

k = 18

general solution is when y=e^(3t)=0, or t-> -infinity

h(2) = 7/4

h(-3) = -2

h(-2) = 11/(-8)

h(-3) - h(-2) = -(5/8)

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = (2x^2-x+1) / (3x-2)

h(2) = (2*2^2 - 2 + 1) / (3*2 - 2)

       = (8 - 2 + 1) / (6 - 2)

       = 7/4

h(-3) = {2*(-3)^2 - (-3) + 1} / {3*(-3) - 2}

        = (18 + 3 + 1) / (-9 - 2)

        = 22/(-11)

        = -2

h(-2) = {2*(-2)^2 - (-2) + 1} / {3*(-2) - 2}

        = (8 + 2 + 1) / (-6 - 2)

        = 11/(-8)

h(-3) - h(-2) = (-2) - {11/(-8)}

How much interest will be earned on a $1600 investment at 7.72% compounded
quarterly for 9 years?

Answers

Answer:

A = $3,198.17

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $1,600.00

I (interest) = $1,598.17

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 7.72/100

r = 0.0772 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 1,600.00(1 + 0.0772/12)(12)(9)

A = 1,600.00(1 + 0.006433333)(108)

A = $3,198.17

Summary:

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $1,600.00 at a rate of 7.72% per year compounded 12 times per year over 9 years is $3,198.17.

Geometry question finding radius and area
Thank You!!

Answers

Answer:

The radius of Circle D is 8 cm.

The perimeter of ΔABC is (24 + 6√7) cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let the intersection point below D be K and let the intersection point between A and B be J.

Since segment BK, which passes through the center of the circle, is perpendicular to chord AC, BK also bisects AC. Hence, AK = CK.

Connect points A and D to create radius AD. Note that BD is also a radius. Hence, AD = BD.

For ΔABK, by the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]AB^2=(BD+1)^2+AK^2[/tex]

Since AB = 12:

[tex]144=(BD+1)^2+AK^2[/tex]

For ΔADK, by the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]AD^2=1^2+AK^2[/tex]

Since AD = BD:

[tex]BD^2=1+AK^2[/tex]

Subtract the second equation into the first:

[tex]144-(BD^2)=(BD+1)^2+AK^2-(1+AK^2)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]144-BD^2=BD^2+2BD+1-1[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]2BD^2+2BD-144=0[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]BD^2+BD-72=0[/tex]

Factor:

[tex](BD+9)(BD-8)=0[/tex]

By the Zero Product Property:

[tex]BD=-9\text{ or } BD=8[/tex]

Since the radius must be positive, the radius is 8 cm.

Since we already know AB and BC, we need to find AC to find the perimeter.

Note that AC = AK + CK = 2AK.

From the second equation:

[tex]BD^2=1+AK^2[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]AK=\sqrt{BD^2-1}=\sqrt{(8)^2-1}=\sqrt{63}=3\sqrt{7}[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]AC=2(AK)=2(3\sqrt7)=6\sqrt7[/tex]

Therefore, the perimeter of ΔABC is:

[tex]P=(12)+(12)+(6\sqrt7)=24+6\sqrt7\text{ cm}[/tex]

Three squares are joined below at their vertices to form a right triangle. Find X, the side
length of the square marked in the diagram.

12 feet

144 feet

48 feet

17.5 feet

Answers

Answer:

12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know the areas of the 2 top squares.

the area of a square is simply the square of its side length.

=>

81 ft² means side length is 9 ft.

225 ft² means side length is 15 ft.

these are also 2 of the sides of the right triangle.

the third side we get by using Pythagoras :

c² = a² + b²

with c being the side opposite of the 90 degree angle.

so,

225 = 81 + x²

as x is also the third side of the triangle.

=> 144 = x²

x = 12 ft

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose last year's revenue for the company was 100 units.

Last year's Division A revenue was 0.60×100 = 60. This year's revenue is 1-35% = 65% of last year's, so is ...

  60 × 0.65 = 39 . . . . units

__

Last year's Division B revenue was 0.40×100 = 40. This year's revenue is 1-5% = 95% of last year's, so is ...

  40 × 0.95 = 38 . . . . units

__

At 39 units this year, Division A still has the higher revenue than Division B at 38 units.

4 children: bbbb, bbbg, bbgb, bgbb, gbbb, bbgg, bgbg, bggb, gbgb, ggbb, bggg, gbgg, ggbg, gggb, gggg

You need to take a methodological approach;

The 2 easiest are the possibility of all boys and all girls;

Then consider 3 boys and 1 girl:

bbbg, bbgb, bgbb, gbbb

Then 2 boys and 2 girls:

bbgg, bgbg, bggb, gbgb, gbbg, ggbb

Lastly, 1 boy and 3 girls:

bggg, gbgg, ggbg, gggb

In total, there are 16 possibilities

P.S. interesting to note is that the number of possibilities here follows the pattern of Pascal's triangle:

       1

     1   1

   1  2  1

 1  3  3  1

1  4  6  4  1

The last row is relevant here;

There is 1 possibility where there are 4 boys;

There are 4 possibilities (in terms of the order of birth) where there are 3 boys and 1 girl;

There are 6 possibilities where there are 2 boys and 2 girls

There are 4 possibilities where there is 1 boy and 3 girls;

There is 1 possibility where there are 4 girls;

The pattern ∴ is 1 4 6 4 1, as the 5th row of Pascal's triangle reads;

If your talking about 3 children, it would match the 4th row of Pascal's triangle;

So, 1 possibility of 3 boys;

3 possibilities of 2 boys and 1 girl;

3 possibilities of 1 boy and 2 girls;

And 1 possibility of 3 girls;

If your talking about 10 children, it would match the 11th row of Pascal's triangle.

you toss six coins at the same time. how many possible outcomes are there?

64

6​

Answers

Answer:

64 outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of coins be n.Let the number of outcomes per coin be X.

Given the following data;

Number of coins = 6

Number of outcomes for a single coin = 2

A single coin comprises of a head (H) and a tail (T), thus, the number of outcomes for a single coin is two (2).

To find how many possible outcomes we would have from tossing six coins at the same time, we would use the following formula;

[tex] Number \; of \; outcomes = X^{n} [/tex]

Substituting the values, we have;

Number of outcomes = 2⁶

2⁶ = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

2⁶ = 64

Number of outcomes = 64

Therefore, the number of outcomes for a single coin tossed at the same time is equal to sixty four (64). It would have a total of 32 heads (H) and a total of 32 tails (T).
