The U.S. government has devoted considerable funding to missile defense research over the past 20 years. The latest development is the Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS), which uses satellite imagery to detect and track missiles (Chance, Summer 2005). The probability that an intruding object (e.g. a missile) will be detected on a ight track by SBIRS is 0.8. consider a sample of 20 simulated tracks, each with an intruding object. Let x equal the number of these tracks where SBIRS detects the object.

Required:
a. Demonstrate that x is (approximately) a binomial random variable.
b. Give the values of p and n for the binomial distribution.
c. Find P(x = 15), the probability that SBIRS will detect the object on exactly 15 tracks.
d. Find P(x≥15) the probability that SBIRS will detect the object on at least 15 tracks.
e. Find E(x) and interpret the result.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A:

[tex]P(X=x)=n_{C_{x}}*p^x*(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

x is a binomial Random Variable.

Part B:

Value of p=0.8

Value of n=20

Part C:

P(X=15)=0.17456

Part D:

P(X≥15)=0.80417

Part E:

E(x)=16

E(x) tells us that out of 20 tracks the SBIRS will detect from 16 tracks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Binomial Distribution is used because the number of tracks and the probability to find the intruding object is constant for all tracks

It means:

[tex]P(X=x)=n_{C_{x}}*p^x*(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

x is a binomial Random Variable.

Part B:

Value of p=0.8

Value of n=20

Part C:

x=15

[tex]P(X=15)=20_{C_{15}}*0.8^{15}*(1-0.8)^{20-15}\\[/tex]

By solving above Expression:

P(X=15)=0.17456

Part D:

P(X≥15)=P(X=15)+P(X=17)+P(X=16)+P(X=18)+P(X=19)+P(X=20)

[tex]P(X=15)=20_{C_{15}}*0.8^{15}*(1-0.8)^{20-15}\\[/tex]

P(X=15)=0.17456

[tex]P(X=16)=20_{C_{16}}*0.8^{16}*(1-0.8)^{20-16}\\P(X=16)=0.21819[/tex]

[tex]P(X=17)=20_{C_{17}}*0.8^{17}*(1-0.8)^{20-17}\\P(X=17)=0.20536[/tex]

[tex]P(X=18)=20_{C_{18}}*0.8^{18}*(1-0.8)^{20-18}\\P(X=18)=0.13691\\\\P(X=19)=20_{C_{19}}*0.8^{19}*(1-0.8)^{20-19}\\P(X=19)=0.05765\\\\P(X=20)=20_{C_{20}}*0.8^{20}*(1-0.8)^{20-20}\\P(X=20)=0.01153[/tex]

Now, Adding Probabilities:

[tex]P(X=15)+P(X=17)+P(X=16)+P(X=18)+P(X=19)+P(X=20)\\=0.17456+0.21819+0.20536+0.13691+0.05765+0.01153\\[/tex]

P(X≥15)=0.80417

Part E:

Mean Distribution:

E(x)=n*p

E(x)=20*0.8

E(x)=16

E(x) tells us that out of 20 tracks the SBIRS will detect from 16 tracks.

Determine the simple interest rate for each given principal, time, and simple interest earned.

Principal: $1200
Time: 15 years
Simple Interest: 5720

Answers

Answer:

31.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is I = PRT, where I = interest earned/paid, P = principal amount deposited or borrowed, R = rate of interest as a decimal, and T = time in years.

I = PRT

5720 = (1200)(R)(15)

5720 = 18,000R

R = 0.3177777, rounded to 31.8%

Answer:

32%

Step-by-step explanation:

5720/15=381.33 interest per year

principal x interest rate = interest per year

1200 x interest rate =381.33

interest rate = 381.33/1200

interest rate = 32%

[tex]r = 12\%[/tex] -- rate

[tex]A = P(0.88)^t[/tex] --- function

Required

Find t when [tex]A = 10000[/tex]

We have: [tex]A = P(0.88)^t[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]A = 10000[/tex] and [tex]P = 22400[/tex]

[tex]10000 = 22400 * 0.88^t[/tex]

Divide both sides by 22400

[tex]0.4464 = 0.88^t[/tex]

Take log of both sides

[tex]\log(0.4464) = \log(0.88^t)[/tex]

Apply law of logarithm

[tex]\log(0.4464) = t\log(0.88)[/tex]

Solve for t

[tex]t = \frac{\log(0.4464)}{\log(0.88)}[/tex]

What is arithmetic operation?

Arithmetic operation is an elementary part of mathematics that consists of the study of the properties of the traditional operations on numbers—addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and extraction of roots.

Now it is given that,

Olivia has 150 caramel apples.

Each caramel apple is covered with one topping.

• 2/3 of the caramel apples are covered with peanuts.

• 1/5 are covered with chocolate chips.

• 1/10 are covered with coconuts.

The rest are covered with sprinkles.

Let 'n' be the number of caramel apples are covered with sprinkles.

Thus,we can write

(2/3)*150 + (1/5)*150 + (1/10)*150 + n = 150

100 + 30 + 15 + n = 150

145 + n = 150

⇒ n = 150 - 145

⇒ n = 5

Thus, the caramel apples that are covered with sprinkles are 5.

Answer:

The value of X is 4, and the area of the triangle is [tex]60^2 units[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to add up all the sides. Doing so will give us the equation [tex]8x+8=40[/tex]. Subtracting 8 from both sides will give us [tex]8x=32[/tex]. Next we divide both sides by 8 in order to isolate the variable, which gives us [tex]x=4.[/tex]

This gives us 4 as our value of x.

Now we need to find the area. Substituting x into the values for base and height will give us 8+7 = 15 for our height, and 4+4=8 for our base. 15*8 is 120, and divided by two gives us 60 as out area.

Thus, x=4 and area=60.

You decide to take your car on a drive through Canada, where gas is sold in liters and distances are measured in kilometers. Suppose your car's gas efficiency is 23.0 mi/gal. How many liters of gas will you need to complete a 495 km trip? Use the conversions 1 gal = 3.78 L and 1 km = 0.6214 mi.

L

Answers

Answer:

the no of liters required is 50.55 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The car gas efficiency is 23.0 mi/gal

distance is 495 km

1 gal = 3.78 L

1 km = 0.6214 mi

We need to find out the no of liters of gas that would needed to complete a trip

So,

= (495 × 3.78 × 0.6214) ÷ (23)

= 50.55 Liters

hence, the no of liters required is 50.55 liters
