A major traffic problem in the Greater Cincinnati area involves traffic attempting to cross the Ohio River from Cincinnati to Kentucky using Interstate 75. Let us assume that the probability of no traffic delay in one period, given no traffic delay in the preceding period, is 0.85 and that the probability of finding a traffic delay in one period, given a delay in the preceding period, is 0.75. Traffic is classified as having either a delay or a no-delay state, and the period considered is 30 minutes.
a. Assume that you are a motorist entering the traffic system and receive a radio report of a traffic delay. What is the probability that for the next 60 minutes (two time periods) the system will be in the delay state? Note that this result is the probability of being in the delay state for two consecutive periods. If required, round your answer to three decimal places.
b. What is the probability that in the long run the traffic will not be in the delay state? If required, round your answers to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 0.563 = 56.3% probability that for the next 60 minutes (two time periods) the system will be in the delay state.

b. 0.625 = 62.5% probability that in the long run the traffic will not be in the delay state

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

The probability of finding a traffic delay in one period, given a delay in the preceding period, is 0.75.

The system currently is in traffic delay, so for the next time period, 0.75 probability of a traffic delay. If the next period is in a traffic delay, the following period will also have a 0.75 probability of a traffic delay. So

0.75*0.75 = 0.563

0.563 = 56.3% probability that for the next 60 minutes (two time periods) the system will be in the delay state.

b. What is the probability that in the long run the traffic will not be in the delay state? If required, round your answers to three decimal places.

If it doesn't have a delay, 85% probability of continuing without a delay.

If it has a delay, 75% probability of continuing with a delay.

So, for the long run:

x: current state

85% probability of no delay if x is in no delay, 100 - 75 = 25% if x is in delay(1-x). So

[tex]0.85x + 0.25(1 - x) = x[/tex]

[tex]0.6x + 0.25 = x[/tex]

[tex]0.4x = 0.25[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{0.25}{0.4}[/tex]

[tex]x = 0.625[/tex]

0.625 = 62.5% probability that in the long run the traffic will not be in the delay state

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground. Its distance in feet from the ground in t seconds is s=−16t2+192t. After how many seconds will the ball be 560 feet from the​ ground?

Answers

Answer:

t=7seconds or 5seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

s=-16t^2 +192t

let s=560ft

560=-16t^2 +192t

16t^2 -192t+560=0

16(t^2-12t+35)=0

(t^2 -12t +35)=0

factoring it ,it will give

(t-7)(t-5)=0

solving for t

t-7=0 or t-5=0

t=7s or t=5s

Susan was carrying a pitcher that contained 2/3 of a gallon of lemonade to the table for lunch. She slipped and spilled 1/4 of the lemonade in the pitcher. What fraction of a gallon of lemonade did she spill?

Answers

Answer:

Susan spilled 1/6 of a gallon of lemonade.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Susan was carrying a pitcher that contained 2/3 of a gallon of lemonade to the table for lunch, and she slipped and spilled 1/4 of the lemonade in the pitcher, to determine what fraction of a gallon of lemonade did she spill the following calculation must be performed:

2/3 = 0.6666

0.666666 x 1/4 = X

0.166666 = X

0.166666 = 1/6

Therefore, Susan spilled 1/6 of a gallon of lemonade.

Two workers can finish building a play set in 18 hours. How long will it take 4 workers to build 3 play sets

Answers

Answer:

it will take 4 workers 27 hours to build 3 playsets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

two works to build 1 play set in 18 hours

If a worker works at the same rate, he will finish a playset as follows;

2 worker ---------> 18 hours

1 worker -----------> ?

1 worker = 2  x 18 hours = 36 hours for 1 playset

4 workers  will take  ³⁶/₄ hours for 1 playset

4 workers --------------> 9 hours for 1 playset

For 3 playsets, 4 workers will take 3 x 9 hours = 27 hours.

Therefore, it will take 4 workers 27 hours to build 3 playsets.

and [tex]Y = 2t -3[/tex] --- Eq (2)

What are parametric equations?

A parametric equation in mathematics specifies a set of numbers as functions of one or more independent variables known as parameters.

We have parametric functions:

x = √t ⇒ x² = t

y = 2t—3

Plug t = x² in the other equation, we get:

y = 2x² - 3

The graph will be a parabola.

Thus, the Cartesian form of the parametric equation is y = 2x² – 3 and the graph will be a parabola.

A polling company conducted a survey asking 40 fourth year students from Ohio and 33 fourth-year students from Pennsylvania about on average, how many hours they spend on the computer per week. Ohio had an average of 52, while Pennsylvania had an average of 33. Ohio and Pennsylvania have standard deviations of 7.22 and 10.11 respectively. Construct a 99.9% confidence interval for the difference between these results.

Answers

Answer:

The 99.9% confidence interval for the difference between these results is between 12.09 and 25.91 hours per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction between normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction of normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the subtraction of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of variances.

Ohio had an average of 52, standard deviation of 7.22, sample of 40.

This means that [tex]\mu_O = 52, s_O = \frac{7.22}{\sqrt{40}} = 1.1416[/tex]

Pennsylvania had an average of 33, standard deviation of 10.11, sample of 33.

This means that [tex]\mu_P = 33, s_P = \frac{10.11}{\sqrt{33}} = 1.76[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]\mu = \mu_O - \mu_P = 52 - 33 = 19[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_O^2 + s_P^2} = \sqrt{1.1416^2 + 1.76^2} = 2.1[/tex]

Confidence interval:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.999}{2} = 0.0005[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.0005 = 0.9995[/tex], so Z = 3.29.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = zs[/tex]

[tex]M = 3.29*2.1 = 6.91[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 19 - 6.91 = 12.09 hours per week

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 19 + 6.91 = 25.91 hours per week.

The 99.9% confidence interval for the difference between these results is between 12.09 and 25.91 hours per week.

Would greatly appreciate the help

As when;

2.696 repeats in bold = 2.696969696  1st greatest

2.696 repeats in bold = 2.696696696 2nd in highest value so 2nd in order.

2.696 repeats in bold = 2.696666666 3rd in highest value so 3rd in order.

2.696 does not repeat = 2.696 so is the least greatest from the list.

If 19.3% of children and adolescents are obese (14.4M), what is the total number of children and adolescents overall? Please i need help

Answers

Answer:

74,611,399

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of obese children and adolescent = 19.3%

19.3% = 14.4 million

The overall number of children and adolescent equals a total percentage of 100%

Hence,

If 19.3 % = 14.4 million

100% = x

Cross multiply :

19.3% x = 100% * 14.4 million

0.193x = 14400000

x = 14400000 / 0.193

x = 74611398.964

Total number of children and adolescent = 74,611,399

Figure B has a longer length than figure A. thus figure B is an enlarged version of figure A.
