An oil company conducts a geological study that indicates that an exploratory oil well should have a 20% chance of striking oil.
A. What is the probability that the first strike comes on the third well drilled?
B. What is the probability that the third strike comes on the seventh well drilled?C. What is the mean and the variance of the number of bad wells, if the oil company wants toset up three producing wells?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a)  0.128

b)  0.049152

Step-by-step explanation:

a) first strike comes on the third well drilled

=> two non-strikes and a strike

P = (0.8)^2 * (0.2)

= 0.128

b) third strike comes on the seventh well drilled

=> two strikes in first six wells and a strike in seventh

P = 6C2 * (0.2)^2 (0.8)^4 * (0.2)

= 0.049152

What is the y-intercept of a line that has a slope of 4 and passes through point (8, 3)?
3
Ο Ο Ο Ο
11

Answers

Answer:

The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m - a slope

b - y-intercept

We have a slope m = 1/4. Substitute: y = 1/4 x + b

We know, the line passes through point (8, 3) → x = 8, y = 3.

Put the values of x and y to the equation of the line:

1/4 · 8 + b = 3

2 + b = 3 |-2

b = 1

Answer: y-intercept is (0, 1)

The scale factor of a model plane to the actual plane is 1 to 25.
Find the wing area of the model if the wing area of the actual plane is 300 ft2
.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Length on model : Length on actual = 1 : 25

=> Area on model : Area on actual

= 1² : 25² = 1 : 625.

Therefore area on model = 300ft² * (1/625) = 0.48ft².

A 20 ft tall ladder standing next to a statue casts a 12 ft shadow. If the statue casts a shadow that is 9 ft long then how tall is it?

Answers

Given that,

Length of the ladder = 20 ft

It casts a 12 ft shadow

To find,

If the statue casts a shadow that is 9 ft long then how tall is it?

Solution,

Let the ladder be x ft tall.

20 ft tall ladder = 12 ft shadow

9 ft tall ladder =

[tex]\dfrac{20}{12}\times 9\\\\=15\ ft[/tex]

Hence, the required length is 15 ft.

Solve the equation for x. 25x = 275

x =​

Answers

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

So the equation is  25x = 275. In order for us to find out what x is we need to get rid of 25 that is next to x, so we are going to have to divide 25x by 25. What you do to one side you do to the other so the equation will look like this:

25x/ 25 = 275/ 25

25x/25 = x

275/25 = 11

so x = 11

Answer:

g(x) = (x-8)^2 - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

subtracting from x inside of the square translates the function to the right and adding to x inside of the square translates it to the left.

(x-8)^2 - 1  translates the function 8 units to the right

subtracting from the constant translates the function down and adding translates it up.

x^2 - 5 translates the function 4 units down

Therefore, (x-8)^2 - 5 translates the function 8 units to the right and 4 units down

4. Charles claims that he can distinguish between beer and ale 75 percent of the time. Ruth bets that he cannot and, in fact, just guesses. To settle this, a bet is made: Charles is to be given ten small glasses, each having been filled with beer or ale, chosen by tossing a fair coin. He wins the bet if he gets seven or more correct. Find the probability that Charles wins if he has the ability that he claims. Find the probability that Ruth wins if Charles is guessing.

Answers

Answer: Probability that Charles gets 7 or more correctly = 0.776

Probability that Ruth wins = 0.827

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Probability that Charles distinguishes between beer and ale = 0.75

no of glasses = 10

no required to win the bet = 7 or more.

Solution:

a) probability of success p=0.75.

This is a binomial probability problem, what we need to solve for is the probability that ( X >=7 ) this can be gotten as

P(X>=7) = (10Ck) (0.75)^k (1-0.75)^(10-k)

where k=7,8,9,10

Probability that he gets 7 correctly.

P(X>=7) = (10Ck) (0.75)^k (1-0.75)^(10-k)

Substitute k = 7 into the equation

= 0.250

Probability that he gets 8 correctly.

P(X>=7) = (10Ck) (0.75)^k (1-0.75)^(10-k)

substitute k = 8 into the equation

= 0.282

Probability that he gets 9 correctly.

P(X>=7) = (10Ck) (0.75)^k (1-0.75)^(10-k)

Substitute k = 9 into the equation

= 0.188

Probability that he gets 10 correctly.

P(X>=7) = (10Ck) (0.75)^k (1-0.75)^(10-k)

Substitute the k= 10 into the equation.

= 0.0563

Probability that Charles gets 7 or more correctly

= 0.250 + 0.282 + 0.0563 + 0.188

= 0.776

b) Probability that Ruth wins

K = 1,2,3,4,5,6

p=0.5

P(X < 7)

P(X < 7) = (10Ck) (.5)^k (1-.5)^(10-k)

Probability that he gets one correctly

P(X = 1 ) = (10Ck) (.5)^k (1-.5)^(10-k)

substitute k= 1 into the equation.

= 0.0098

P(X=2) = (10Ck) (.5)^k (1-.5)^(10-k)

Substitute k= 2 into the equation

= 0.0439

P(X =3) = (10Ck) (.5)^k (1-.5)^(10-k)

Substitute k=3 into the equation.

=0.117

P(X=4) = (10Ck) (.5)^k (1-.5)^(10-k)

Substitute k= 4 into the equation

= 0.2051

P(X=5) = (10Ck) (.5)^k (1-.5)^(10-k)

Substitute k =5 into the equation

= 0.246

P(X= 6 ) = (10Ck) (.5)^k (1-.5)^(10-k)

Substitute k = 6 into the equation

= 0.205

Probability that Ruth wins

= 0.205 + 0.246 + 0.2051 + 0.117 + 0.0439 + 0.0098

= 0.827

Answer:

C. Right and isosceles

Explanation:

Since two sides of the triangle are equal in length ([tex]DE[/tex] and [tex]DF[/tex]), this means that the triangle is an isosceles triangle. Since [tex]EF[/tex] is the hypotenuse of this triangle, it also means that the triangle is a right-angle triangle (the hypotenuse refers to the longest side of a right triangle). Therefore, we can conclude that ΔDEF is right and isosceles.
