A business manager who needs to make many phone calls has estimated that when she calls a client, the probability that she will

reach the client right away is 60%. If she does not reach the client on the first call, the probability that she will reach the client with a subsequent call in the next hour is 20%. a. Find the probability that the manager reaches her client in two or fewer calls. b. Find the probability that the manager reaches her client on the second call but not on the first call. c. Find the probability that the manager is unsuccessful on two consecutive calls.

Answer:

a.  0.68 or 68%

b. 0.08 or 8%

c. 0.32 or 32%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of contacting the client on the first call is 60%

The likelihood of reaching the client on the second call is 20%

a. The chance of the manager successfully connecting with her client within two calls is the sum of the chances for one or two calls:

P(X\leq2) = P(X=1) +P(X=2)\\P(X\leq2) = 0.60+(1-0.60)*0.2\\P(X\leq2) = 0.68 = 68\%

b. The probability that the manager connects during the second call but not the first is:

P(X=2) = (1-0.6)*0.2 =0.08 = 8\%

c. The probability that the manager fails to connect in two consecutive calls (requiring more calls) is P(X>2):

P(X>2) = 1-P(X\leq2) = 1-0.68\\P(X>2) = 0.32 = 32\%

The graph of the function f(x) = (x – 4)(x + 1) is shown below. On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (neg
tester [8842]

Answer:

The function decreases across all real numbers x where x < 1.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

f(x)=(x-4)(x+1)

f(x)=x^2+x-4x-4

f(x)=x^2-3x-4

This represents an upward-opening vertical parabola

The vertex denotes a minimum point

The vertex is located at (1.5,-6.25)

We know that

The function is decreasing within the interval ----> (-∞, 1.5) x < 1.5

This means----> the function is continuously decreasing for all real x values under 1.5

Conversely, the function is increasing within the interval ----> (1.5, ∞) x> 1.5

Thus, for all real x values greater than 1.5, the function is increasing

Check the attached figure for further clarification

Therefore

The true statement is

The function decreases across all real numbers x where x < 1.5.

Write the number 0.21212121.. as a fraction let x=
AnnZ [9099]
To work with the repeating decimals, note that since there are two digits repeating, you will be using a 1 followed by two zeros, which is 100. This factor will be important for subsequent calculations.

Let’s denote the repeating decimal as x.

Thus, you can write

x = 0.212121...

Now, if you multiply this equation by 100, you can write it on top of the previous equation.
This results in:

100x = 21.212121...
x = 0.212121...

Next, set up a subtraction by taking the second equation from the first:

100x = 21.212121...
x = 0.212121...
- ----------------------------
99x = 21

Solving for x involves dividing both sides by 3:

33x = 7

Then, divide both sides by 33:

x = 7/33

Thus, we conclude that the repeating decimal 0.212121... equates to the fraction 7/33.

Answer: the fraction is 7/33

a. The variable X represents the height of a Goomba, which follows a normal distribution with a mean of μ= 12 inches and a standard deviation of δ= 6 inches.

To find the probability that a Goomba picked at random has a height between 13 and 15 inches, you express it as:

P(13≤X≤15)

Considering that standard normal probability tables provide cumulative values, you can express this range as the cumulative probability up to 15 minus the cumulative probability up to 13. You'll first need to standardize these variable heights to obtain corresponding Z values:

P(X≤15) - P(X≤13)

P(Z≤(15-12)/6) - P(Z≤(13-12)/6)

P(Z≤0.33) - P(Z≤0.17)= 0.62930 - 0.56749= 0.06181

b. Now we have Y as the variable indicating the height of a Koopa Troopa. This variable also follows a normal distribution, with a mean μ= 15 inches and a standard deviation δ=3 inches.

The query concerns the probability that a Koopa Troopa stands taller than 75% of Goombas.

First step:

You need to determine the height of a randomly chosen Koopa Troopa that exceeds 75% of the Goomba population.

This entails determining the value of X corresponding to the limit below which 75% of the population falls, denoted by:

P(X ≤ b)= 0.75

Step 2:

Search the standard normal distribution for the Z value that has 0.75 beneath it:

Z_{0.75}= 0.674

Next, you will reverse the standardization to solve for "b"

Z= (b - μ)/δ

b= (Z*δ)+μ

b= (0.674*6)+12

b= 16.044 inches

Step 3:

With the height that identifies a Koopa Troopa taller than 75% of the Goomba population determined, compute the probability of selecting that Koopa Troopa:

P(Y≤16.044)

This time, utilize the Koopa’s average height and standard deviation to find the probability:

P(Z≤(16.044-15)/3)

P(Z≤0.348)= 0.636

The likelihood of randomly selecting a Koopa Troopa that is taller than 75% of Goombas is 63.6%

I hope this information is useful!

Water is poured into a conical paper cup at the rate of 3/2 in3/sec (similar to Example 4 in Section 3.7). If the cup is 6 inche
tester [8842]

Response:

The height of the water when it reaches 4 inches is \frac{3}{8\times \pi} inch/s.

Detailed Explanation:

Flow rate of water from the cone = R=\frac{3}{2} inch^3/s

Height of the cup = h = 6 inches

Radius of the cup = r = 3 inches

\frac{r}{h}=\frac{3 inch}{6 inch}=\frac{1}{2}

r = h/2

Volume of the cone = V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{d(\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h)}{dt}

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{d(\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{h}{2})^2h)}{dt}

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{3\times 4}\pi \times \frac{d(h^3)}{dt}

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1\pi }{12}\times 3h^2\times \frac{dh}{dt}

\frac{3}{2} inch^3/s=\frac{1\pi }{12}\times 3h^2\times \frac{dh}{dt}

h = 4 inches

\frac{3}{2} inch^3/s=\frac{1\pi }{12}\times 3\times (4inches )^2\times \frac{dh}{dt}

\frac{3}{2} inch^3/s=\pi\times 4\times \frac{dh}{dt} inches^2

\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{3}{8\times \pi} inch/s

The height of the water when it is 4 inches deep is \frac{3}{8\times \pi} inch/s.
