A public health organization reports that 30% of baby boys 6 - 8 months old in the United States weigh more than 20 pounds. A sample of 15 babies is studied. Round the answers to three decimal places. Part 1 of 4 (a) What is the probability that exactly 5 of them weigh more than 20 pounds

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.206 = 20.6% probability that exactly 5 of them weigh more than 20 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each baby, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they weigh more than 20 pounds, or they do not. The probability of a baby weighing more than 20 pounds is independent of any other baby, 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.

A public health organization reports that 30% of baby boys 6 - 8 months old in the United States weigh more than 20 pounds.

This means that [tex]p = 0.3[/tex]

A sample of 15 babies is studied.

This means that [tex]n = 15[/tex]

What is the probability that exactly 5 of them weigh more than 20 pounds

This is P(X = 5). So

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

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{15,5}.(0.3)^{5}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.206[/tex]

0.206 = 20.6% probability that exactly 5 of them weigh more than 20 pounds.

Answers

Answer:

A: Parameter

B: Population

C: Statistic

D: Variable

E: Sample

F: Data

Step-by-step explanation:

A- The average speed that all drivers go on Highway 50: This is the parameter because it is the mean of the population.

B- All people who drive on Highway 50: This is the Population because it is from here that the sample was taken.

C- The average speed that the 250 randomly selected drivers drove on Highway 50: This is the statistic because it represents the mean of the sample.

D- The speed that a driver drives on Highway 50: This is the Variable because it varies with each driver.

E- The 250 randomly selected drivers who were on Highway 50: This is the sample because it is taken from a part of the population.

F- The list of the 250 speeds that the drivers studied drove: This is the data because it gives us information on the different speeds for this specific research.

Out of 449 applicants for a job, 253 have over 5 years of experience and 62 have over 5 years of experience and have a graduate degree. Step 1 of 2 : What is the probability that a randomly chosen applicant has a graduate degree, given that they have over 5 years of experience

Answers

Answer:

The probability that a randomly chosen applicant has a graduate degree, given that they have over 5 years of experience, is 24.50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that out of 449 applicants for a job, 253 have over 5 years of experience and 62 have over 5 years of experience and have a graduate degree, to determine what is the probability that a randomly chosen applicant has a graduate degree, given that they have over 5 years of experience, the following calculation must be performed:

253 = 100

62 = X

62 x 100/253 = X

6,200 / 253 = X

24.50 = X

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen applicant has a graduate degree, given that they have over 5 years of experience, is 24.50%.

NO LINKS NO FILES! Jill says that the rules for multiplying and dividing integers are alike. Do you agree? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Multiplying and dividing fractions are essentially the same process which you multiply the numbers straight across and no need for common denominators. Except in division of fractions, the second fraction is flipped so that the denominator is on the top and the numerator is on the bottom (reciprocal).

Answer:

I do not agree

Step-by-step explanation:

because in multiply negatives, the 2 negatives turn into a positive or multiplying positive and negative (and vice versa) becomes a negative still so the rules of multiplying and dividing are not alike integers. (For dividing it is the same!)

3. Two dice are rolled. What’s the conditional probability that both dice are 5’s if it’s known that the sum of points is divisible by 5?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Pr =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]S = \{(1, 1) (1, 2) (1, 3) (1, 4) (1, 5) (1, 6)(2, 1) (2, 2) (2, 3) (2, 4) (2, 5) (2, 6)[/tex]

[tex](3, 1) (3, 2) (3, 3) (3, 4) (3, 5) (3, 6)(4, 1) (4, 2) (4, 3) (4, 4) (4, 5) (4, 6)[/tex]

[tex](5, 1) (5, 2) (5, 3) (5, 4) (5, 5) (5, 6)(6, 1) (6, 2) (6, 3) (6, 4) (6, 5) (6, 6)\}[/tex] --- sample space

First, list out all outcomes whose sum is divisible by 5

[tex]A = \{(4,6), (5,5),(6,4)\}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]n(A) = 3[/tex]

Next, list out all outcomes that has an outcome of 5 in both rolls

[tex]B = \{(5,5)\}[/tex]

[tex]n(B) =1[/tex]

The required conditional probability is:

[tex]Pr =\frac{n(B)}{n(A)}[/tex]

[tex]Pr =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Answer:

x = 6.93

y = 13.86

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve x by;

Tan(60) = 12/x

Tan(60) * x = 12

x = 12 / Tan(60)

x = 6.93

We can solve y by;

A² + B² = C²

12² + 6.93² = y²

144 + 48.02 = y²

192.02 = y²

[tex]\sqrt{192.02}[/tex] = y²

13.86 = y

Which is the graph of the linear equality 2x-3y<12

Answers

Answer:

The graph below shows the answer to

2x - 3y < 12

Also shown as

-3y < -2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You can rearrange the inequality by subtracting 2x from both sides to isolate the y.

You now have -3y < 12 -2x

which can be put into the standard linear equation form of

-3y < -2x + 12

Then you divide both sides by -3 to get singular value of y, which is something like

-3/-3y < -2/-3x + 12/-3

which is

y > 2/3x -4

Note: I switched direction of the inequality because you are dividing both sides by a negative value.

Order the side lengths

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First fill in the missing angles of each triangle:

angle IJK = 180-47-51 = 82°

angle KJL = 180 - 63 - 57 = 60°

Within EACH triangle, the side length is proportional to the opposite angle.

Therefore for triangle IJK,

JK < JL < IK

and for triangle JKL

JL < KL <JK

so combining (chaining) the two inequalities,

JL < LK <JK < JL < IK

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first lets find angle J in triangle IJK

for angle J

47 + 51 + angle J =180 degree (sum of interior angle of a triangle )

98 + angle J =180

angle J =180 - 98

angle J =82 degree

Now lets find angle J in triangle JKL

for angle J

57 + 63 + angle J =180 degree (being sum of interior angle of the triangle)

120 + angle J =180

angle J = 180 - 120

angle J =60 degree

now lets place the angle from samllest to largest

angle I = 41 degree

angle K = 51 degree

angle K of JKL triangle = 57 degree

angle J of JKL triangle = 60 degree

angle L =63 degree

angle J of IJK triangle = 80 degree

Side opposite to the smallest angle is smallest in sides and side opposite to the longest angle is largest in side.So,

side opposite to angle I is JK

side opposite to angle K is IJ

side opposite to angle K of JKL triangle is JL.

side opposite to angle J of JKL triangle is LK.

side opposite to angle L is JK.

side opposite to angle J of IJK triangle is IK.

therefore required answer is

JK , IJ , JL , LK , JK , IK
