D, I believe that since 40% of 100 equals 4, when you split that in half, you determine that 2/5 of the inmates were jobless prior to entering prison.

The time between failures for an electrical appliance is exponentially distributed with a mean of 25 months. What is the probabi
Inessa [12086]

Answer:

The likelihood that a failure will not take place within the next 30 months is 0.0454.

Step-by-step explanation:

We employ a Poisson distribution where:

t = time units

x = occurrences during t units

λ = average occurrences per unit of time

P(x;λt) = e raised to the power of (-λt) multiplied by λtˣ divided by x!

Here, λt equals 25.

x equals 30.

P(x= 30) = 25³⁰e⁻²⁵/ 30!

P (x= 30) = 8.67 E41 * 1.3887 E-11/30!    (where E signifies exponent)

P (x=30) = 1.204 E31/30!

Utilizing a statistical calculator will yield:

P (x=30) = 0.0454

The probability that the next failure will not occur prior to 30 months is 0.0454.

George is 1.94 meters tall and wants to find the height of a tree in his yard. He started at the base of the tree and walked 10.
Leona [12028]
Create a visual representation to depict the situation outlined below.

Let h signify the height of the tree.

Since ΔABC is similar to ΔADE, it follows that
DE/BC = AD/AB

This means that
h/1.94 = (5.1 + 10.2)/5.1 = 3
Consequently, h = 1.94*3 = 5.82 m

Final result: 5.82 m

Student researchers Haley, Jeff, and Nathan saw an article on the Internet claiming that the average vertical jump for teens was
tester [11842]

Answer:

At the α = 0.10 level, there is no substantial evidence indicating that the average vertical jump for students at this school differs from 15 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis test is necessary to verify the assertion that the average vertical jump of students diverges from 15 inches.

The null and alternative hypotheses are:

H_0: \mu=15\\\\H_a: \mu\neq15

The significance level is set at 0.10.

The sample mean recorded is 17, and the sample standard deviation is 5.37.

The degrees of freedom are calculated as df=(20-1)=19.

The t-statistic is:

t_{19}=\frac{M-\mu}{s_M/\sqrt{n}} =\frac{17-15}{5.37/\sqrt{20}}=\frac{2}{5.37/4.47} =2/1.20=1.67

The two-tailed P-value corresponding to t=1.67 is P=0.11132.

<pSince this P-value exceeds the significance level, the result is not significant. Therefore, the null hypothesis remains unchallenged.

At the α = 0.10 level, there is no compelling evidence that the average vertical jump of students at this school deviates from 15 inches.

Jake forgot to replace the cap on a bottle of deodorant. The deodorant began to evaporate at the rate of 12% per day. If the ori
PIT_PIT [11856]

Answer:

graph representing the function f of x equals 30 multiplied by 0.88 raised to the exponent of x

Step-by-step explanation:

The deodorant starts to evaporate, indicating a mass reduction, thus 12% represents the decay rate. In exponential decay, the function's graphical representation adheres to the formula:

y=a(1-r)^x

Where a signifies the starting quantity (a=30), r is the decay rate (r=0.12) and x denotes the time intervals, measured in days for this case. By inserting the given values into the formula:

y=30(1-0.12)^x\\y=30(0.88)^x

Which aligns with the "graph representing the function f of x equals 30 multiplied by 0.88 raised to the exponent of x".

Jenna works in an ice cream shop. When she starts her shift the tub of chocolate ice cream is 23 full. When she finishes her shi
tester [11842]

Answer:

Rate = 1.1/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Start = 23

End = 16

Hours = 6\frac{1}{2}h

Required

Calculate the hourly rate

First, we will determine the amount of ice cream that was sold

Ice\ Cream = 23 - 16

Ice\ Cream = 7

Next, calculate the average hourly rate:

Rate = Ice\ Cream/Hours

Rate = 7/6\frac{1}{2}h

Rate = 7/\frac{13}{2}h

Rate = 7*\frac{2}{13h}

Rate = \frac{14}{13h}

Rate = 1.07692307692/hr

Rate = 1.1/hr -- Approximated
