Consider the probability that more than 97 out of 120 people will get the flu this winter. Assume the probability that a given person will get the flu this winter is 97%. Specify whether the normal curve can be used as an approximation to the binomial probability by verifying the necessary conditions.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Since [tex]n(1-p) = 3.6 < 5[/tex], the normal distribution cannot be used as an approximation to the binomial probability to approximate the probability.

Using the binomial distribution, 100% probability that more than 97 out of 120 people will get the flu this winter.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].

Assume the probability that a given person will get the flu this winter is 97%.

This means that [tex]p = 0.97[/tex]

120 people

This means that [tex]n = 120[/tex]

Verifying the necessary conditions.

[tex]np = 120*0.97 = 116.4[/tex]

[tex]n(1-p) = 120*0.03 = 3.6[/tex]

Since [tex]n(1-p) = 3.6 < 5[/tex], the normal distribution cannot be used as an approximation to the binomial probability to approximate the probability. Thus, the binomial distribution has to be used.

Probability using the binomial distribution:

[tex]P(X > 97) = P(X = 98) + ... + P(X = 120)[/tex]

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

[tex]P(X = 98) = C_{120,98}.(0.97)^{98}.(0.03)^{22} \approx 0[/tex]

Probability close to 0, but below the mean, which means that the probability of the number being above this is 100%.

Using the binomial distribution, 100% probability that more than 97 out of 120 people will get the flu this winter.

Add:

5/24+9/20

Answers

Answer:

79/120

Step-by-step explanation:

5/24+9/20

to add the fractions the denominator (bottom part) has to be the same. ex you can add one third and one third to make two thirds. but you wont know what 1/2 + 1/3 is.

convert to same denominator. to do this, the fractions themselves need to stay the same value but the bottom number needs to change. ex 1/2=2/4 and 1/3= 2/6. when you multiply and divide the top and bottom part of the fraction by the same number, the value of the fraction stays the same. ex 3/6 divide both parts by 3 you get 1/3. so 3/6=1/3

to get the common denominator we have to find the least common multiple, or LCM (since 5 and 9 dont share any common factors.)

24 and 20 LCM

=120

convert both 5/24+9/20 to x/120 and y/120

5/24 multiply by 5 on top and bottom

=25/120

9/20 multiply by 6 on top and bottom

=54/120

25/120+54/120

=(25+54)/120

In 2012 your car was worth $10,000. In 2014 your car was worth $8,850. Suppose the value of your car decreased at a constant rate of change. Define a function f to determine the value of your car (in dollars) in terms of the number of years t since 2012.

Answers

Answer:

The function to determine the value of your car (in dollars) in terms of the number of years t since 2012 is:

[tex]f(t) = 10000(0.9407)^t[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of the car:

Constant rate of change, so the value of the car in t years after 2012 is given by:

[tex]f(t) = f(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

In which f(0) is the initial value and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

In 2012 your car was worth $10,000.

This means that [tex]f(0) = 10000[/tex], thus:

[tex]f(t) = 10000(1-r)^t[/tex]

2014 your car was worth $8,850.

2014 - 2012 = 2, so:

[tex]f(2) = 8850[/tex]

We use this to find 1 - r.

[tex]f(t) = 10000(1-r)^t[/tex]

[tex]8850 = 10000(1-r)^2[/tex]

[tex](1-r)^2 = \frac{8850}{10000}[/tex]

[tex](1-r)^2 = 0.885[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{(1-r)^2} = \sqrt{0.885}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = 0.9407[/tex]

Thus

[tex]f(t) = 10000(1-r)^t[/tex]

[tex]f(t) = 10000(0.9407)^t[/tex]

let a function F:A➡️B be defined by f(x)=x+1÷2x-1 with A={-1,0,1,2,3,4} and B= {-1,0,4/5,5/7,1,2,3,}.Find the range of f. plzzzz help​

Answers

Answer:

Range: {-1, 0, 5/7, 4/5, 1, 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

f(x) = (x + 1)/(2x - 1)

And:

f: A ⇒ B

where:

A={-1,0,1,2,3,4}

B= {-1,0,4/5,5/7,1,2,3,}

We want to find the range of f(x).

The range of f(x) will be the set of the outputs of f(x) (and because f goes from A to B, we will only take the outputs that belong to B).

Then we only need to evaluate all the values of A in f(x), and see if the output belongs to B.

we have:

f(x) = (x + 1)/(2x - 1)

f(-1) = (-1 + 1)/(2*-1 - 1) = 0   (this does belong to B)

f(0) = (0 + 1)/(2*0 - 1) = -1  (this does belong to B)

f(1) = (1 + 1)/(2*1 - 1) = 2  (this does belong to B)

f(2) = (2 + 1)/(2*2 - 1) = 1 (this does belong to B)

f(3) = (3 + 1)/(2*3 - 1) = 4/5  (this does belong to B)

f(4) = (4 + 1)/(2*4 - 1) = 5/7  (this does belong to B)

So the range of f(x) is the set with all these outputs, which is:

Range: {-1, 0, 5/7, 4/5, 1, 2}

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!!! A boy had 20 cents. He bought x pencils for 3 cents each. If y equals the number of pennies left, write an equation showing the dependence of y on x. What is the domain of the function?But it says that x is a whole number for the domain. PLS HELP.

Answers

Answer:

Hey there!!

The total number of cents - 20

Cost for each pencil - 3 cents

Number of pencils bought - ' x '

y = number of pennies left

What is the domain ?

Show how y is dependent on x ..

Let's get this into an equation :

... The total cost for x pencils bought = 3x

... Number of pennies left = 20 - 3x

... y = number of pennies left

... y = 20 - 3x

Notice : If the x value changes, the y value changes too

... If x = 1 , then , y = 17; If x = 2 , then , y = 14

Hence, we could say y is dependent upon x

Domain = ?

... Remember - The total number of pennies = 20 ; hence, the total cost cannot go above 20 cents.

Hence, we will have to work with inequalities

The equation :

... 20 ≥ 3x

Divide 3 on both sides

20 / 3 ≥ x

x ≥ 6.667

Let's take this as 6

Hence , the domain will be :

D : { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 }

Find the length of BC
A. 27.22
B. 11.62
C. 22.02
D. 19.78

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know the measure of ∠B and the side opposite to ∠B and we want to find BC, which is adjacent to ∠B, we can use the tangent ratio. Recall that:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan\theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}[/tex]

The angle is 54°, the opposite side measures 16 units, and the adjacent side is BC. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan 54^\circ = \frac{16}{BC}[/tex]

Solve for BC. We can take the reciprocal of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{\tan 54^\circ} = \frac{BC}{16}[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]\displaystyle BC = \frac{16}{\tan 54^\circ}[/tex]

Use a calculator. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle BC \approx 11 .62\text{ units}[/tex]

BC measures approximately 11.62 units.

Our answer is B.

A local grocery store receives strawberries from suppliers in Florida and California. Currently there are 18 strawberry containers on the shelf and 11 of them are from Florida. A shopper selects three containers to purchase. What is the probability that exactly one of the containers is from the Florida supplier

Answers

You have 11/18 probability when choosing one container and when choosing three containers out of 2 choices we will first denote F and C respectively for the choice of states, and the possible outcomes are FFF, FFC, FCC, and CCC so possibility for at least one from Florida is 3/4. 11/18*3/4 will be your answer.

Using the hypergeometric distribution, it is found that there is a 0.2831 = 28.31% probability that exactly one of the containers is from the Florida supplier.

The containers are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

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

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes. N is the size of the population. n is the size of the sample. k is the total number of desired outcomes.

In this problem:

There are 18 containers, hence [tex]N = 18[/tex]11 of those are in Florida, hence [tex]k = 11[/tex].A sample of 3 containers is taken, hence [tex]n = 3[/tex]

The probability that exactly one of the containers is from the Florida supplier is P(X = 1), hence:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = h(1,18,3,11) = \frac{C_{11,1}C_{7,2}}{C_{18,3}} = 0.2831[/tex]

0.2831 = 28.31% probability that exactly one of the containers is from the Florida supplier.
