A university found that 25% of its students withdraw without completing the introductory statistics course. Assume that 30 students registered for the course.Use Microsoft Excel whenever necessary and answer the following questions:Compute the probability that 2 or fewer will withdraw

Answers

Answer:

0.0106 = 1.06% probability that 2 or fewer will withdraw

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they withdraw, or they do not. The probability of an student withdrawing is independent of any other student, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

25% of its students withdraw without completing the introductory statistics course.

This means that [tex]p = 0.25[/tex]

Assume that 30 students registered for the course.

This means that [tex]n = 30[/tex]

Compute the probability that 2 or fewer will withdraw:

This is:

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

In which

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{30,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{30} = 0.0002[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{30,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{29} = 0.0018[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{30,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{28} = 0.0086[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0002 + 0.0018 + 0.0086 = 0.0106[/tex]

0.0106 = 1.06% probability that 2 or fewer will withdraw

Tim Hortons is hiring and offers $200 every week plus $5 per hour. McDonalds offers $300 every week plus $2 per hour. State the conditions under which Tim Hortons is the better employer

Answers

Answer:

Assuming you want better payment each week, any number of hours above 33.333 or 33 hours and 20 minutes per week

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways we could do this.  We could say we want to have Tim Hortons be the better employer on the first week, or after so many weeks by adjusting the hours.  I am going to assume we are saying we want it to be a better employer on the first week, so the profit will be the amount made every week plus the money made per hour times the number of hours.

Let's say number of hours is H

So Tim Hortons winds up as 200 + 5H for one week and  Mcdonalds will be 300 + 2H.

If you set the two expressions equal to each other you will find where they intersect, which means at that number of hours they will give the same amount of money while any amount before one of the companies will give more and after that many hours the other will.  Let's go ahead and solve.

200 + 5H = 300 + 2H

3H = 100

H = 100/3

So H is about 33.333.  let's check.

200 + 5(33.333) = 366.665 which rounds to 366.67 dollars

300 + 2(33.333) = 366.666 which also rounds to 366.67 dollars

So at 33.333 hours both give 366.67 dollars.  Let's look at a value below it, say 32.

200 + 5(32) = 360

300 + 2(32) = 364

So you can see here Tim Hortons  pays less.  Now we will try 34 as a value above 33.333

200 + 5(32) = 370

300 + 2(32) = 368

Here Mcdonalds pays less.  This was to show that values below 33.333 make Tim Hortonspay less and values above 33.333 make Mcdonalds pay less.  In other words any value above 33.333 hours will have Tim Hortons be the better employer.  And this is per week

I want to repeat, you can expand this to be multiple weeks and see which of the two becomes better in that epriod of time.  This was, I think, the simplest way to answer though.  

So the conditions where Tim Horton pays more isif you work more than 33.333 hours per week.  This will make them pay more every single week.

What is the probability of landing on an even number and a number greater than 17? (A number is even if it is divisible by 2. 0 and 00 are considered even as well.)​

Answers

Answer:

the wording (punctuation) of the question can lead to different interpretations....

I assume that the question was >17 & even which is "5/19",

BUT... it can also be read as two questions

first >17 which is "10/19"

and second an even number which is "9/19"

BUT !!! I think that the question answer is 5/19

Step-by-step explanation:

Even Number  = 18/38 = 9/19

greater 17 = 20/38 = 10/19

Even & greater 17 = 10/38 = 5/19

Answers

Answer:

d. normal if the population is normally distributed

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question:

Sample size less than 30, so only will be normal if the population is normally distribution, and thus the correct answer is given by option d.

A light bulb's brightness is reduced when placed behind a screen. The amount of visible light produced by the light bulb decreases by 25% with
each additional layer that is added to the screen. With no screen, the light bulb produces 750 lumens. The lumen is a unit for measuring the total
quantity of visible light emitted by a source,
Select the correct equation that can be used to represent the lumens, L, after x screen layers are added.

Answers

Answer:

D. 750(0.75)ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the new brightness be L'. Since our initial brightness L₀ reduces by 25 %, we have that L' = L₀ - 25% of L₀

L' = L₀ - 0.25L₀

L' = 0.75L₀

Adding the second screen, the new intensity is L" = L' - 25 % of L'  

L" = L' - 0.25 L'

L" = 0.75L'.

Since L' = 0.75L₀,

L" = 0.75L' = 0.75(0.75L₀) = 0.75²L₀

Adding the third screen, the new intensity is L"' = L'' - 25 % of L''  

L'" = L" - 0.25 L"

L"' = 0.75L".

Since L" = 0.75L' = 0.75²L₀

L"' = 0.75L" = 0.75(0.75²L₀) = 0.75³L₀

So, we see a pattern here.

The intensity after x screens is L = (0.75)ˣL₀

Since L₀ = 750 lumens,

L = 750(0.75)ˣ

The polynomial 3x² + mx? - nx - 10 has a factor of (x - 1). When divided by x + 2, the remainder is 36. What are
the values of m and n?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]m = 12[/tex]

[tex]n =3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P(x) = x^3 + mx^2 - nx - 10[/tex]

Required

The values of m and n

For x - 1;

we have:

[tex]x - 1 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x=1[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(1) = (1)^3 + m*(1)^2 - n*(1) - 10[/tex]

[tex]P(1) = 1 + m*1 - n*1 - 10[/tex]

[tex]P(1) = 1 + m - n - 10[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]P(1) = m - n + 1 - 10[/tex]

[tex]P(1) = m - n -9[/tex]

Because x - 1 divides the polynomial, then P(1) = 0;

So, we have:

[tex]m - n -9 = 0[/tex]

Add 9 to both sides

[tex]m - n = 9[/tex] --- (1)

For x + 2;

we have:

[tex]x + 2 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x = -2[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(-2) = (-2)^3 + m*(-2)^2 - n*(-2) - 10[/tex]

[tex]P(-2) = -8 + 4m + 2n - 10[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]P(-2) = 4m + 2n - 10 - 8[/tex]

[tex]P(-2) = 4m + 2n - 18[/tex]

x + 2 leaves a remainder of 36, means that P(-2) = 36;

So, we have:

[tex]4m + 2n - 18 = 36[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]4m + 2n = 36+18[/tex]

[tex]4m + 2n = 54[/tex]

Divide through by 2

[tex]2m + n=27[/tex] --- (2)

Add (1) and (2)

[tex]m + 2m - n + n = 9 +27[/tex]

[tex]3m =36[/tex]

Divide by 3

[tex]m = 12[/tex]

Substitute [tex]m = 12[/tex] in (1)

[tex]m - n =9[/tex]

Make n the subject

[tex]n = m - 9[/tex]

[tex]n = 12 - 9[/tex]

[tex]n =3[/tex]

Find the measure of of RA.

Answers

Answer:

RA = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is isosceles ( 2 equal sides ) , then LU is a perpendicular bisector , so

AU = RU , that is

4r = 18 - 2r ( add 2r to both sides )

6r = 18 ( divide both sides by 6 )

r = 3

Then

RA = 18 - 2r + 4r = 18 + 2r = 18 + 2(3) = 18 + 6 = 24

rotation 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin​

Answers

I'm going to try my best to explain 90° rotation:

So, you know that if you rotate something 180°, it's completely flipped (think about spinning around half-way).

Or if you spin something 360°, you spin around the whole way and end up in the same spot that you did when you started.

Notice how 90 is actually 1/4 of 360.

So imagine spinning instead of 180, spinning half of that. so you barely rotate. That's exactly what you're doing to this shape here. and if you do it about the origin counterclockwise, the origin is (0,0) so I drew it in Quadrant III, as you can see in my attachment.

You can see that every point has been moved by 90°, I put all of the variables there so you could visualize it better!

I hope this helped, let me know if you have any questions! :)

Dependent Samples t test

Step-by-step explanation:

The dependent samples t test also called the paired t test are employed in statistical analysis when sample measurement in a certain group is to be paired with the sample measurement on the other group. This is possible because the samples used in the two groups are usually the same. Hence, pairing the samples is feasible in this case. This is different from independent t test as the samples in the groups are entirely different and distinct. Hence, giving no chance to match the samples together. In the scenario described above, the same 20 people(samples) formed the same group of measurement.

What is an appropriate objective function for this scenario? solve 5x^2-2=-12 by taking the square root Please help I cant understand it . Two cylindrical resistors are made from copper. The first one is of length L and of radius r . The 2nd resistor is of length 6L and of radius 2r. The ratio of these two resistances R1/R2 is: A pair of forces with equal magnitude, opposite directions, and different lines of action is called a "couple." When a couple acts on a rigid object, the couple produces a torque that does not depend on the location of the axis. The drawing shows a couple acting on a tire wrench, each force being perpendicular to the wrench. Determine an expression for the torque produced by the couple when the axis is perpendicular to the tire and passes through the following. Express your answers in terms of the magnitude F of the force and the length L of the wrench. write the following sets in the set builder form C={1,4,9,16,25} Which is the graph of y = 3x + 1 - 2?
