Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

The three most popular options on a certain type of new car are a built-in GPS (A), a sunroof (B), and an automatic transmission (C). If 42% of all purchasers request A, 60% request B, 73% request C, 68% request A or B, 85% request A or C, 88% request B or C, and 91% request A or B or C, determine the probabilities of the following events. [Hint: "A or B" is the event that at least one of the two options is requested; try drawing a Venn diagram and labeling all regions.]

(d)

The next purchaser will select exactly one of these three options.

A regional automobile dealership sent out fliers to prospective customers indicating that they had already won one of three different prizes: an automobile valued at $30,000, a $125 gas card, or a $5 shopping card. To claim his or her prize, a prospective customer needed to present the flier at the dealership's showroom. The fine print on the back of the flier listed the probabilities of winning. The chance of winning the car was 1 out of 31,729, the chance of winning the gas card was 1 out of 31,729, and the chance of winning the shopping card was 31,727 out of 31,729. Complete parts (a) through (d). a. How many fliers do you think the automobile dealership sent out? Assume there is one car and one gas card available. 31729 fliers C b. Using your answer to (a) and the probabilities listed on the flier, what is the expected value of the prize won by a prospective customer receiving a flier? H=$5.95 (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) c. Using your answer to (a) and the probabilities…
Ponderosa Paint and Glass carries three brands of paint. A customer wants to buy another gallon of paint to match paint she purchased at the store previously. She can’t recall the brand name and does not wish to return home to find the old can of paint. So, she selects two of the three brands of paint at random and buys them. What is the probability that she matched the paint brand? Her husband also goes to the paint store and fails to remember what brand to buy. So, he also purchases two of the three brands of paint at random. Determine the probability that both the woman and her husband fail to get the correct brand of paint. (Hint: Are the husband’s selections independent of the wife’s selections?)
The three most popular options on a certain type of new car are a built-in GPS (A), a sunroof (B), and an automatic transmission (C). If 36% of all purchasers request A, 47% request B, 69% request C, 54% request A or B, 75% request A or C, 76% request B or C, and 78% request A or B or C, determine the probabilities of the following events.

A machine has four components, A, B, C, and D, set up in such a manner that all four parts must work for the machine to work properly. Assume the probability of one part working does not depend on the functionality of any of the other parts. Also assume that the probabilities of the individual parts working are P(A) = P(B) = 0.95, P(C) = 0.91, and P(D) = 0.96. Find the probability that at least one of the four parts will work. Round to six decimal places.
Samsung wants to run ads for its new Galaxy Phone. Based on a survey conducted, Samsung assigned probabilities to the following events: individual purchased a Galaxy Phone with a probability of 55%, individual recalls seeing the ad with a probability 70%, and individual did not purchase the Galaxy Phone nor recalls seeing the ad with a probability of 40%. What is the probability that the individual recalls seeing the ad or purchases the Galaxy Phone? a. 60% b. 30% c. None of these d. 65% e. 45%
In a manufacturing plant, three machines, A, B, and C, produce 38%, 33%, and 29%, respectively, of the total production. The company's quality-control department has determined that 2% of the items produced by machine A, 1.5% of the items produced by machine B, and 2% of the items produced by machine C are defective. If an item is selected at random and found to be defective, what is the probability that it was produced by machine B? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
In a recent senatorial election, 47% of the voters in a certain district were registered as Democrats, 36% were registered as Republicans, and 17% were registered as Independents. The incumbent Democratic senator was reelected over her Republican and Independent opponents.

Assuming that the exit poll is accurate, what is the probability that a vote for the incumbent was cast by a registered Republican? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Alex, Natasha, and Juan fill orders in a fast-food restaurant. Alex incorrectly fills 20% of the orders he takes. Natasha incorrectly fills 12% of the orders she takes. Juan incorrectly fills 5% of the orders he takes. Alex fills 30% of all orders, Natasha fills 45% of all orders, and Juan fills 25% of all orders. An order has just been filled. A. If the order was filled by Juan, what is the probability that it was filled correctly? B. Who filled the order is unknown, but the order was filled incorrectly. What are the revised probabilities that Alex, Natasha, or Juan filled the order? C. Who filled the order is unknown, but the order was filled correctly. What are the revised probabilities that Alex, Natasha, or Juan filled the order?
The accidents that occur in a manufacturing company were classified by severity (strong, moderate and mild) and by sex with the following characteristics: 40% of the accidents were strong and 30% were moderate. Women suffered 20% of the accidents. Of the total number of serious accidents, men suffered 85.5% of the accidents. Similarly, of the total moderate accidents, women suffered 45% of the accidents.
