A certain company sends 50% of its overnight mail parcels via express mail service E1. Of these parcels, 1% arrive after the guaranteed delivery time (denote the event late delivery by L). Suppose that 10% of the overnight parcels are sent via express mail service E2 and the remaining 40% are sent via E3. Of those sent via E2 on 2% arrive late, whereas 5% of the parcels handled by E3 arrive late.
A. If a record of an overnight mailing is randomly selected from the company's file, what is the probability that the parcel went via El and was late?
B. What is the probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late?
C. If a randomly selected parcel has arrived on time, what is the probability that is was not sent via E1?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 0.005 = 0.5% probability that the parcel went via El and was late

B. 0.027 = 2.7% probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late.

C. 0.8148 = 81.48% probability that is was not sent via E1

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.

A. If a record of an overnight mailing is randomly selected from the company's file, what is the probability that the parcel went via El and was late?

50% are chosen via E1, and of those, 1% were late. So

[tex]p = 0.5*0.01 = 0.005[/tex]

0.005 = 0.5% probability that the parcel went via El and was late

B. What is the probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late?

1% of 50%(via E1)

2% of 10%(via E2)

5% of 40%(via E3).

So

[tex]p = 0.01*0.5 + 0.02*0.1 + 0.05*0.4 = 0.027[/tex]

0.027 = 2.7% probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late.

C. If a randomly selected parcel has arrived on time, what is the probability that is was not sent via E1?

Conditional Probability.

Event A: Late

Event B: Not sent via E1

0.027 = 2.7% probability that a randomly selected parcel arrived late, which means that [tex]P(A) = 0.027[/tex]

Late and not sent via E1:

2% of 10%(via E2)

5% of 40%(via E3).

So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.02*0.1 + 0.05*0.4 = 0.022[/tex]

Desired probability:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.022}{0.027} = 0.8148[/tex]

0.8148 = 81.48% probability that is was not sent via E1

Answers

Given:

The quadratic equation is

[tex]-2x^2-y+10x-7=0[/tex]

To find:

The vertex of the given quadratic equation.

Solution:

If a quadratic function is [tex]f(x)=ax^2+bx+c[/tex], then

[tex]Vertex=\left(\dfrac{-b}{2a},f(\dfrac{-b}{2a})\right)[/tex]

We have,

[tex]-2x^2-y+10x-7=0[/tex]

It can be written as

[tex]-2x^2+10x-7=y[/tex]

[tex]y=-2x^2+10x-7[/tex]           ...(i)

Here, [tex]a=-2,b=10,c=-7[/tex].

[tex]\dfrac{-b}{2a}=\dfrac{-10}{2(-2)}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{-b}{2a}=\dfrac{-10}{-4}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{-b}{2a}=\dfrac{5}{2}[/tex]

Putting [tex]x=\dfrac{5}{2}[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]y=-2(\dfrac{5}{2})^2+10(\dfrac{5}{2})-7[/tex]

[tex]y=-2(\dfrac{25}{4})+\dfrac{50}{2}-7[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{-50}{4}+25-7[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{-25}{2}+18[/tex]

On further simplification, we get

[tex]y=\dfrac{-25+36}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{11}{2}[/tex]

So, the vertex of the given quadratic equation is [tex]\left(\dfrac{5}{2},\dfrac{11}{2}\right)[/tex].

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Chris and Pat worked the same number of days and earned equal amounts of money, Chris earned a rate of $75 per day. Pat earned a rate of $50 per day and
received a honus of $125 How many days did each of them work

Answers

Answer:

A, 5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the number of days as x. Then, the amount of money each person earned is:

Chris: 75 * x

Pat: 50 * x + 125

Then, because these are equal amounts,

75x = 50x + 125

Subtract 50x from both sides.

25x = 125

Divide both sides by 25.

x = 5

So, they worked for 5 days, or option A.

In Mathematics, a pie chart is sometimes referred to as a circle graph and it can be defined as a type of graph that is used for the graphical representation of the proportional relationship between each part to a whole, especially by dividing a circle into various sectors or sections.

Next, we would determine the total number of votes as follows;

Total votes = 45 + 56 + 39

Total votes = 140 votes.

Now, we can calculate the fraction of the circle that would represent comedy by using this mathematical expression;

Fraction of comedy = votes of comedy/total votes

Fraction of comedy = 45/140

Fraction of comedy = 9/28 ≈ 1/3.
