Concept explainers
a.
To find:
The probability of double miss when each bomb had a 95% probability of hitting the missile a silo and 5% chance of missing.
b.
To find:
The probability that a specific silo is destroy when each bomb had a 95% probability of hitting the missile a silo and 5% chance of missing.
c.
To find:
The probability that all ten silos were destroyed when each bomb had a 95% probability of hitting the missile a silo and 5% chance of missing.
d.
To find:
The probability that at least one silo survived when each bomb had a 95% probability of hitting the missile a silo and 5% chance of missing.
e.
The assumptions need to be made for the calculations in part a through d to be valid and whether these assumptions are reasonable for the given condition.

- In her last semester at SPC, Polly Hedron needs to take Statistics, Composition 2, and Ethics. Because Polly is registering early, she has 14 choices for her section of Statistics, 14 choices for her section of Composition, and 13 choices for her section of Ethics. From how many possible schedules can Polly choose? (You may presume that none of these sections interfere with each other)arrow_forward- Part 1 Assume that the Natural Fertilizer Company produces 100 pound sacks of 20-15-20 fertilizer for lawns, 100 pound sacks of 11-12-8 fertilizer for gardens, and 100 pound sacks of 4-8-6 fertilizer for trees, where the numbers are the percentage by weight of nitrate, phosphate, and potash, respectively, in each sack. Assume also that the company has on hand 12 tons of nitrate, 9 tons of phosphate, and 8 tons of potash, Assume also that the profit on each sack of lawn fertilizer is $10.00, the profit on each sack of garden fertilizer is $6.00, and the profit on each sack of tree fertilizer is $5.00. Finally, assume the company has a contract to supply at least 2.5 tons of garden fertilizer. How many sacks of each type of fertilizer should the company make in order maximize its profit? When you formulate a linear programming problem to solve this problem, how many variables, how many constraints (both implicit and explicit), and how many objective functions should you have?
