Because Polly is registering early, she has 19 choices for her section of Statistics and 15 choices for her section of Composition. From how many possible schedules can Polly choose? (You may presume that none of these sections interfere with each other) Your Answer: Answerarrow_forwardA friend who lives in Los Angeles makes frequent consulting trips to Washington, D.C.; 60% of the time she travels on airline # 1, 20% of the time on airline on airline # 3. For airline #1, flights are late into D.C. 40% of the time and late into L.A. 15% of the time. For airline #2, these percentages are 35% and 10%. If we learn that on a particular trip she arrived late at exactly one of the two destinations, and # 3? Assume that the chance of a late arrival in L.A. is unaffected by what happens on the flight to D.C. [Hint: second-generation branches labeled, respectively, 0 late, 1 late, and 2 late.] (Round your answers to four decimal airline #1 airline #2 airline #3 20% of the time whereas #2, and the remaining percentages for airline #3 the what are flown on airlines From the tip of each first-generation branch on a tree diagram, draw three places.) the posterior of having #1, #2, and 15%, probabilities are 35%arrow_forward
- A local consulting firm currently has 5 jobs that have to be completed by its contract employees. After analyzing the time that it would take each specific employee to complete each specific job, and, the wages each specific employee is paid per hour, it determined how much it would cost if specific employees were assigned to specific jobs. These costs were calculated to be: Cost ($) Job Employee 1 2 3 4 5 A 1,200 1,850 1,375 3,500 1,900 B 1,175 1,920 1,540 3,375 2,050 C 1,080 1,885 1,475 3,400 2,010 D 1,190 1,905 1,400 3,600 2,100 E 1,250 1,900 1,390 3,520 1,975 F 1,200 1,950 1,465 3,400 1,950 G 1,075 1,820 1,480 3,250 1,920 a.

- Halmar the Great has boasted to his hordes of followers that many a notorious villain has fallen to his awesome sword: His total of 660 victims consists of evil sorcerers, trolls, and orcs. These he has slain with a total of 720 mighty thrusts of his sword; evil sorcerers and trolls each requiring two thrusts (to the chest) and orcs each requiring one thrust (to the neck). When asked about the number of trolls he has slain, he replies, "I, the mighty Halmar, despise trolls three times as much as I despise evil sorcerers. Accordingly, three times as many trolls as evil sorcerers have fallen to my sword!"
