Bill is 30 years old. He has just started a new job, and he cycles to work. The
probability of having a serious accident on any given day is 10E−4
(and the days are independent of each other as far as cycling accidents are concerned). He works 250 days per year, and will work for 35 years before retiring to North Hatley–unless a cycling accident catches up with him first.
a) What is the probability that he gets through his career without a serious
cycling accident?
b) Thirty years pass. Bill continues to cycle, and has never had a serious
accident. However, the probability of accident on any given day remains 10E−4
Is the probability that he will get through his entire career without an accident the
same? If so, explain why. If not, calculate it and interpret.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the binomial distribution, we have that:

a) 0.4168 = 41.68% probability that he gets through his career without a serious  cycling accident.

b) Considering that the probability of an accident on a given day is independent of any other day, now just the last five years are considered, thus, the probability changes and there is a 0.8825 = 88.25% probability that he will get through his entire career without an accident the same.

For each day, there are only two possible outcomes. Either there is an accident, or there is not. The probability of there being an accident on a day is independent of any other day, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability of a success on each trial.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]  

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this question:

0.0001 probability of an accident on a given day, thus [tex]p = 0.0001[/tex]250 days, for 35 years, thus the number of days is [tex]n = 250(35) = 8750[/tex].

Item a:

The probability is P(X = 0), thus:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{8750,0}.(0.0001)^{0}.(0.9999)^{8750} = 0.4168[/tex]

0.4168 = 41.68% probability that he gets through his career without a serious  cycling accident.

Item b:

The probability changes, as we consider now just five years.The number of days is now [tex]n = 250(5) = 1250[/tex].

Then:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{8750,0}.(0.0001)^{0}.(0.9999)^{1250} = 0.8825[/tex]

Considering that the probability of an accident on a given day is independent of any other day, now just the last five years are considered, thus, the probability changes and there is a 0.8825 = 88.25% probability that he will get through his entire career without an accident the same.

What is the Compound interest on a 10,000 investment the earns 6% compound monthlyfor5 years

Answers

Answer:

The total compound interest is $3,488.50, I hope I helped explain how to find total compound interest

Step-by-step explanation:

So the formula for this would be:

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

A = the amount of your principal plus interest, which is the total

P = stands for the principal, which is your original amount invested

r = shows the interest rate in decimal form

n =  stands for the number of compounding periods

So to solve for the compound interest we would plug in our numbers in replacement for the letters

how to solve y=-10x+3?

Answer:

  top down: 13, 3, -7, -47

Step-by-step explanation:

You evaluate any equation by putting the numbers in place of the corresponding variables and following the rules of arithmetic.

For x = -1, put -1 where x is and do the math.

  y = -10(-1) +3 = 10 +3 = 13

For x = 0, put 0 where x is and do the math.

  y = -10(0) +3 = 0 +3 = 3

For x = 1, put 1 where x is and do the math.

  y = -10(1) +3 = -10 +3 = -7

For x = 5, put 5 where x is and do the math.

  y = -10(5) +3 = -50 +3 = -47

The table values are 13, 3, -7, -47.

What are the values of x and y?

(9x - 19y)
(5x - 17)
(3x + 3)º
X =

y =

Answers

Answer: x = 10 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the x rule, (5x - 17) = (3x + 3)

If we add 17 to both sides:

5x = 3x + 20

Take away 3x from both sides

2x = 20

Divide by 2:

X = 10

This means that (5x - 17) = (3x + 3) = 33

Since all angles must add to 360, the top angle = (360- (33*2)) /2

(360-66) /2

294 /2

147

This shows that 9x - 19y = 147

90 - 19y = 147

Minus 90 both sides

19y = 57

Y = 3

So, x = 10 and y = 3

Write a rule to describe each transformation #9 & #11​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

I really don't know what to write to these questions. I can never tell what the problem is. Perhaps it is right at the very beginning. You have to recognize what is taking place. In problem 9, the easiest point to follow is H going to H'. Do you see what is happening? H is sitting on the x axis and then something happens to it and behold, it is now sitting on the y axis. So it has rotated 90 degrees but which way?

Take your finger or a pencil and put it on H. Then make a circular motion to get to H'. You are going clockwise. (keep going in that direction till you wind up where you started. You are going in the direction of one of those old fashioned clocks. Now the trick in a rotation is if you can figure out what one point is doing, you know what all points are doing on the given figure.

So the translation is 90 degrees clockwise. That means the following rule must be operating

(x,y) ===> (y, - x)

H(-3,0) ===> H'(0, - - 3) = H'(0,3)

I(-2,1) =====>I'(1, - - 2) = H'(1,2)

J(0,1) =====>J'(1,0)

G(-3,-3)====>G'(-3, --3) = G'(-3,3)

11

At first you may think that this is a translation of some kind. I thought so at first. D and D' certainly look that way and C and C' also look that way. But B and E are not well behaved. You are looking at a 180 degree rotation

The rule you need here is (x,y) becomes (-x , - y)

I'll leave C and D to you and do one of the B and E

E(3,5)=E'(-3 , - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

9) Distance from the origin to an image point is the same as to the preimage point, but the direction is changed by 90° in the CW direction. For example, J is north of the origin, but J' is east, a direction change of 90° CW.

The transformation describing a 90° CW rotation is the rule ...

  (x, y) ⇒ (y, -x)

11) Distance and direction to each image point from the origin are equal and opposite of distance and direction to the preimage point. The figure has been rotated 180°. The corresponding rule is ...
