The physician tells a woman who usually drinks 5 cups of coffee daily to cut down on her coffee consumption by 75%. If this woma

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5 cups daily.....1 cup equals 8oz.....so if you multiply 5 cups by 8, you get 40 oz

reducing by 75% means you will only be consuming 25%

Calculating 25% of 40 oz gives:

0.25(40) = 10 oz per day <===

Frank reasoned that in the number 0.555, the value of the 5 in the thousands place is ten times as great as the 5 in the hundred
zzz [9066]

The provided number is 0.555, which can also be expressed as

0+ \frac{1}{10}*5 + \frac{1}{100}* 5+ \frac{1}{1000} * 5

In examining the digits post-decimal, each subsequent digit decreases to 1/10 of the preceding one.

Thus, the assertion that "the value of the 5 in the thousands place is ten times as great as the 5 in the hundredth place" is incorrect.

What is the solution to –4(8 – 3x) ≥ 6x – 8?
tester [8808]

Response:

x ≥ 4

Step-by-step breakdown:

Given

- 4(8 - 3x) ≥ 6x - 8 ← distribute the term in parentheses on the left side

- 32 + 12x ≥ 6x - 8 (subtract 6x from both sides)

- 32 + 6x ≥ - 8 (add 32 to both sides)

6x ≥ 24 (divide both sides by 6)

Thus, x ≥ 4

Axline Computers manufactures personal computers at two plants, one in Texas and the other in Hawaii. The Texas plant has 40 emp
Zina [9157]

Answer:

a) The likelihood that none of the sampled employees are from the Hawaii plant is 1.74%.

b) The chance that exactly 1 employee from the sample is found working in the Hawaii plant is 8.70%.

c) There is an 89.56% chance that 2 or more employees in the sample are from the Hawaii plant.

d) The probability that 9 employees from the sample are working at the Texas plant is 8.70%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each employee has two potential employment locations: either Texas or Hawaii. Thus, the binomial probability distribution can be utilized to solve this scenario.

Binomial probability distribution

This distribution defines the probability of achieving exactly x successes in n trials where there are only two outcomes.

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

Here, C_{n,x} denotes the number of ways to choose x objects from a set of n, represented by the subsequent formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of success occurring.

In this context, we know:

The sample comprises 10 employees, therefore n = 10.

a. Calculate the probability that none of the sampled employees are from the Hawaii plant (to 4 decimals)?

Given that 20 out of 60 employees are based in Hawaii:

p = \frac{20}{60} = 0.333

We aim to find P(X = 0).

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

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.333)^{0}.(0.667)^{10} = 0.0174

Thus, the likelihood that none in the sample are from Hawaii stands at 1.74%.

b. Calculate the probability that 1 employee from the sample is from the Hawaii plant?

This is represented as P(X = 1).

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

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.333)^{1}.(0.667)^{9} = 0.0870

Therefore, there is an 8.70% possibility that 1 employee in the sample comes from Hawaii.

c. Calculate the probability that 2 or more employees in the sample are from the Hawaii plant?

We can observe two scenarios: either fewer than 2 employees are from Hawaii or 2 and beyond. The combined probabilities equal decimal 1. So:

P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1

We seek to find P(X \geq 2).

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

From problems a and b, we possess values for both probabilities.

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0174 + 0.0870 = 0.1044

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.1044 = 0.8956

Accordingly, the chance that 2 or more employees in this sample operate at the Hawaii plant is 89.56%.

d. Calculate the likelihood that 9 employees in the sample are working at the Texas plant?

This corresponds to the probability found in part b for 1 employee working in Hawaii.

Consequently, there is an 8.70% chance that 9 employees belong to the Texas plant.
