Accepted
characters:
numbers, decimal point markers (period or comma), sign indicators (-),
spaces (e.g., as thousands separator, 5 000), “E” or
“e” (used in scientific notation).NOTE: For scientific
notation, a period MUST be used as the decimal point marker.
Complex numbers should be in the form (a + bi) where “a” and
“b” need to have explicitly stated values.
For example: {1+1i} is valid whereas {1+i} is not. {0+9i} is valid whereas
{9i} is not.
In February 2002 the Argentine peso lost 70% of its
value compared to the United States dollar. This devaluation
drastically raised the price of imported products. According to a
survey conducted by AC Nielsen in April 2002, 68% of the consumers in
Argentina were buying fewer products than before the devaluation, 24% were
buying the same number of products, and 8% were buying more
products. Furthermore, in a trend toward purchasing less-expensive
brands, 88% indicated that they had changed the brands they
purchased. Suppose the following complete set of results were reported. Use
the following data to answer this question.

products than before? Place your answer, rounded to 4 decimal places,

It has been observed that electrical connectors manufactured by Jolt Electrical
Supply Company last an average of 18.2 months and follow a normal
distribution with a standard deviation of 1.7 months. Jolt agrees to
replace any connector that fails within 19 months. Out of 500 connectors
sold, how many does Jolt expect to replace, on average? Place your answer,
rounded to the nearest whole number, in the blank. For example, 123 would
be a legitimate answer.

An ice cream vendor sells three flavors: chocolate,
strawberry, and vanilla. Forty five percent of the sales are chocolate,
while 30% are strawberry, with the rest vanilla flavored. Sales are by
the cone or the cup. The percentages of cones sales for chocolate,
strawberry, and vanilla, are 75%, 60%, and 40%, respectively. For a
randomly selected sale, define the following events:

= chocolate chosen
= strawberry chosen
= vanilla chosen
= ice cream on a
cone
ice cream in a cup

Find the probability that the ice cream was sold on a cone and was
chocolate flavor. Place your answer, rounded to 4 decimal places, in
the blank. For exampe, 0.3456 would be a legitimate entry.
