Jacobs & Johnson, an accounting firm, employs 15 accountants, of whom 9 are CPAs. If a delegation of 4 accountants is randomly selected from the firm to attend a conference, what is the probability that 4 CPAs will be selected? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answers

Answer 1

Using the hypergeometric distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0923 = 9.23% probability that 4 CPAs will be selected.

What is the hypergeometric distribution formula?

The formula is:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.N is the size of the population.n is the size of the sample.k is the total number of desired outcomes.

In this problem, there are 15 accountants, 9 are CPAs and 4 will be selected, hence N = 15, k = 9, n = 4.

The probability that 4 CPAs will be selected is P(X = 4), hence:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = h(4,15,4,9) = \frac{C_{9,4}C_{6,0}}{C_{15,4}} = 0.0923[/tex]

0.0923 = 9.23% probability that 4 CPAs will be selected.

Which is greater 9/8ths or 2 halves?

Answers

The correct answer is  [tex]\frac{9}{8}[/tex] is greater than 2 halves.

Engineers must consider the breadths of male heads when designing motorcycle helmets. men have head breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 6.0 in and a standard deviation of 1.0 in. (based on anthropometric survey data from gordon, churchill, et al.). if one male is randomly selected, find the probability that his head breadth is less than 6.2 in. use 4 decimals for your answer.

Answers

Answer: 0.9772 (the answer above wasn't the right one;)


Using z-score formula, the probability that a male's head breadth is less than 6.2 inches, would be approximately 57.9261%.

What is z-score formula?

When you have multiple samples and want to describe the standard deviation of those sample means (the standard error), you would use this z score formula:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

This z-score will tell you how many standard errors there are between the sample mean and the population mean.

We have been given that men have head breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 6.0 inches and a standard deviation of 1.0 inches. We are asked to find the probability that a man's breadth is less than 6.2 inches.

First of all, we will find z-score corresponding to sample score of 6.2 as:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

where,

z = Z-score,

x = Sample score,

[tex]\mu[/tex] = Mean,

[tex]\sigma[/tex] = Standard deviation.

Upon substituting our given values in z-score formula, we will get:

[tex]z=\frac{6.2-6.0}{1.0}[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{0.2}{1.0}[/tex]

z = 0.2

Now, we need to find the probability that a z-score is less than 0.2.

Using normal distribution table, we will get:

P(z < 0.2) = 0.57926

0.579261 ≈ 57.9261 %

Therefore, the probability that a male's head breadth is less than 6.2 inches, would be approximately 57.9261%.

 We write the following system of equations:
 x + y = 121
 y = 13 + x
 Solving the system we have:
 Step 1:
 x + (13 + x) = 121
 2x + 13 = 121
 x = (121-13) / (2)
 x = 54

[tex] \sqrt{3 x - 11} - \sqrt{x} + 5 = 6[/tex]

Answers

Solve for x:
5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) = 6

Subtract 5 from both sides:
sqrt(3 x - 11) - sqrt(x) = 1

(sqrt(3 x - 11) - sqrt(x))^2 = -11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x) sqrt(3 x - 11) = -11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 1:
-11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 1

Subtract 4 x - 11 from both sides:
-2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 12 - 4 x

Raise both sides to the power of two:
4 x (3 x - 11) = (12 - 4 x)^2

Expand out terms of the left hand side:
12 x^2 - 44 x = (12 - 4 x)^2

Expand out terms of the right hand side:
12 x^2 - 44 x = 16 x^2 - 96 x + 144

Subtract 16 x^2 - 96 x + 144 from both sides:
-4 x^2 + 52 x - 144 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:
-4 (x - 9) (x - 4) = 0

Divide both sides by -4:
(x - 9) (x - 4) = 0

Split into two equations:
x - 9 = 0 or x - 4 = 0

Add 9 to both sides:
x = 9 or x - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides:
x = 9 or x = 4

Suppose a family starts out 50 miles from home at time t = 0. They travel away from home at a constant speed of 45 miles an hour. What's the equation that tells you how far they'll be from home t hours later? (Assume d is distance in miles.) A. d = 45t + 50 B. d = 45t C. d = 50t D. d = 50t + 45

Answers

50 miles, t=0 is the start
45 miles each 1 hour

A. d= 45•t+50
At t = 0  d = 50.
At time = 1 hour , d = 50 + 45(1)
At time = 2 hours, d = 50 + 45(2)

So its d = 50 + 45t  or  d = 45t + 50

A classmate believes that a triangle can have both a right angle and an obtuse angle. Which of the following statements would you use to convince him that he is incorrect?

Answers

You can only have obtuse

Sum of internal angles in a triangle is 180 degree.

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

Now we have three cases:

Case 1 : For right anlge triangle.

in this case one angle is 90°. and rest of two angle's sum is 90 degree

it means measure of rest two anles is less than 90 degree.

So, this type trianlge holds one right anlge and two acute angle.

Case 2: If one angle is Obtuse angle(more than 90°)

In this case , rest of two angle's sum is less than 90°

So, this type trianlge holds one obtuse anlge and two acute angle.

Case 3: All angles are acute

In this case all three anles are less than 90°

So, triangle has one obtuse angle, that means rest of two anlges must be less than 90°

There are 12 ways Jackson can order his hot cocoa by choosing from three flavors, two mug sizes, and the option of adding marshmallows. Option D is correct,

To find the total number of ways Jackson can order his hot cocoa, we need to consider all the possible combinations of choices he has.

1. Flavor: Jackson has 3 options: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or chocolate mint flavor.

2. Mug Size: Jackson has 2 options: small or large mug.

3. Marshmallows: Jackson has 2 options: with or without marshmallows.

To find the total number of combinations, we multiply the number of options for each choice:

[tex]\[ \text{Total combinations} = \text{Number of options for flavor} \times \text{Number of options for mug size} \times \text{Number of options for marshmallows} \]\[ \text{Total combinations} = 3 \times 2 \times 2 \]\[ \text{Total combinations} = 12 \][/tex]

So, there are 12 ways Jackson can order his hot cocoa. Therefore, the correct answer is option D) 12.

Simple interest is a method of calculating interest on an amount for n period of time with a rate of interest of r. The Balance after the fifth year from now is 3801.56.


What is simple interest?

Simple interest is a method of calculating interest on an amount for n period of time with a rate of interest of r. It is calculated with the help of the formula,

SI = PRT

where SI is the simple interest, P is the principal amount, R is the rate of interest, and T is the time period.

The balance in the accounts can be calculated as,

Balance after the first year,

A = 600×(1.08) = 648

Balance after the second year,

A = (600+648)(1.08) = 1248(1.08) = 1347.84

Balance after the third year,

A = (1347.84+600)(1.08) = 1947.84 (1.08) = 2103.67

Balance after the fourth year,

A = (2103.67+600)(1.08) = 2703.67 (1.08) = 2919.96

Balance after the fifth year,

A = (2919.96+600)(1.08) = 3519.96 (1.08) = 3801.56

Hence, the Balance after the fifth year from now is 3801.56.

A pizza parlor uses square prisms for their pizza boxes. Due to the crust rising, the height of their boxes is always 2 inches. Additionally, the volume of the pizza box must be 450 cubic inches to fit their standard-sized pizza. A worker determined that the equation below could be used to find the side length, x, of the box needed to reach that volume.

Answers

We are to find the side length of the box

Volume = Length * Breadth * Height


Volume of box = 450 cubic inches

Height of box = 2 inches

Length of box = x

Since it is a square prism, Breadth = Length = x


Therefore,

Volume = Length * Breadth * Height

⇒ 450 = 2 * x * x

⇒ 450 = 2x²

⇒ 2x² = 450


Divide the equation by 2

2x²/2 = 450/2

x² = 225

⇒√x² = √225

x = 15

The side length of the box is 15 inches


Answer:
