Construct the discrete probability distribution for the random variable described. Express the probabilities as simplified fractions. The number of tails in 5 tosses of a coin.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]P(X = 0) = 0.03125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = 0.15625[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = 0.3125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = 0.3125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = 0.15625[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = 0.03125[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For each toss, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is tails, or it is not. The probability of a toss resulting in tails is independent of any other toss, 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.

Fair coin:

Equally as likely to be heads or tails, so [tex]p = 0.5[/tex]

5 tosses:

This means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]

Probability distribution:

Probability of each outcome, so:

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.03125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.15625[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.3125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.3125[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{5,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.15625[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.03125[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the call arrived when the switchboard was not fully busy is 0.75.

What is Normal Distribution?

A probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean is the normal distribution, sometimes referred to as the Gaussian distribution. It demonstrates that data that are close to the mean occur more frequently than data that are far from the mean. The normal distribution appears as a "bell curve" on a graph.

Given:

Here X follows uniform distribution with parameter a and b.

Where,

a = 0 and b = 1.

Then,

The density function of Y is given by:

P( 15 < Y ≤ 60)

or, P( 0.25 < Y ≤ 1)

So,  P( 0.25 < Y ≤ 1) = [tex]\int\limits^{1}_{0.25}{f(y) \, dy[/tex]

                                = [tex][y]^1 _ {0.25}[/tex]

                                = (1- 0.25)

                                = 0.75

Hence, The probability that the call arrived when the switchboard was not fully busy is 0.75.

Sqrt of 145 = 12.04159…

The answer rounded to two decimal places is 12.04 cm.

Answer:

12.04 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras in general :

c is the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90 degree angle).

a and b are the side legs.

so, in our example here

A scientist is studying the growth and development of an epidemic virus with a growth rate of 9% per month that has infected 3,124 people. If this rate continues, what will be the number of infected people in another 9 months? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer:

About 6,785 people will be infected about nine months.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write an exponential function to represent the situation. The standard exponential function is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = a(r)^x[/tex]

Where a is the initial value, r is the rate, and x, in this case, is the time that has passed in months.

3,124 people have already been infected. Thus, our initial value a = 3124.

And an additional 9% will be infected per month. Therefore, our rate r will be 1 + 9% or 1.09.

Hence, our function is:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = 3124(1.09)^x[/tex]

Then after nine months, the total amount of infected people will be f(9):

[tex]\displaystyle f(9) = 3124(1.09)^{(9)}[/tex]

Use a calculator:

[tex]\displaystyle f(9) \approx 6785[/tex]

About 6,785 people will be infected about nine months.

A data set includes data from student evaluations of courses. The summary statistics are n=89​, x=3.44​, s=0.67.

(I also need the test statistic and p-value) thank you so much in advance :)

Answers

We're told that "the claim that the population of student course evaluations has a mean equal to 3.50". So this means μ=3.50 makes up the null H0

The alternative would be H1: μ ≠ 3.50 since it's the opposite of the claim made in the null.

We go with answer choice D to form the null and alternative hypotheses.

The sign ≠ in the alternative hypothesis tell us that we have a two tail test.

---------------------------------------

Let's compute the test statistic

z = (xbar - mu)/(s/sqrt(n))

z = (3.44 - 3.50)/(0.67/sqrt(89))

z = -0.84483413122896

z = -0.84

The test statistic is roughly -0.84

---------------------------------------

Despite not knowing what sigma is (aka the population standard deviation), we can see that n > 30 is the case. So we can use the Z distribution. This is the standard normal distribution. When n > 30, the T distribution is fairly approximately the same as the Z distribution.

Use a calculator or a Z table to determine that

P(Z < -0.84) = 0.2005

which is approximate

Because we're doing a two-tail test, this means we double that result to get 2*0.2005 = 0.401

The p-value is roughly 0.401

-----------------------------------------

Since the p-value is larger than alpha = 0.05, we don't have enough evidence to reject the null. So you can say that we fail to reject the null, or we accept the null.

The conclusion based on that means that μ=3.50  must be true (unless other evidence comes along to disprove this). In other words, the mean evaluation score from students appears to be 3.50

find the two intersection points

(x+1)^2 +(y+2)^2 = 16

3x+ 4y = 1
Show your steps please

Answers

Answer:

Our two intersection points are:

[tex]\displaystyle (3, -2) \text{ and } \left(-\frac{53}{25}, \frac{46}{25}\right)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find where the two graphs given by the equations:

[tex]\displaystyle (x+1)^2+(y+2)^2 = 16\text{ and } 3x+4y=1[/tex]

Intersect.

When they intersect, their x- and y-values are equivalent. So, we can solve one equation for y and substitute it into the other and solve for x.

Since the linear equation is easier to solve, solve it for y:

[tex]\displaystyle y = -\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Substitute this into the first equation:

[tex]\displaystyle (x+1)^2 + \left(\left(-\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{1}{4}\right) +2\right)^2 = 16[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle (x+1)^2 + \left(-\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{9}{4}\right)^2 = 16[/tex]

Square. We can use the perfect square trinomial pattern:

[tex]\displaystyle \underbrace{(x^2 + 2x+1)}_{(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2} + \underbrace{\left(\frac{9}{16}x^2-\frac{27}{8}x+\frac{81}{16}\right)}_{(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2} = 16[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 16:

[tex](16x^2+32x+16)+(9x^2-54x+81) = 256[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]25x^2+-22x+97=256[/tex]

Isolate the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle 25x^2 - 22x -159=0[/tex]

We can use the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

In this case, a = 25, b = -22, and c = -159. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{-(-22)\pm\sqrt{(-22)^2-4(25)(-159)}}{2(25)}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} x &= \frac{22\pm\sqrt{16384}}{50} \\ \\ &= \frac{22\pm 128}{50}\\ \\ &=\frac{11\pm 64}{25}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Hence, our two solutions are:

[tex]\displaystyle x_1 = \frac{11+64}{25} = 3\text{ and } x_2 = \frac{11-64}{25} =-\frac{53}{25}[/tex]

We have our two x-coordinates.

To find the y-coordinates, we can simply substitute it into the linear equation and evaluate. Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle y_1 = -\frac{3}{4}(3)+\frac{1}{4} = -2[/tex]

And:

[tex]\displaystyle y _2 = -\frac{3}{4}\left(-\frac{53}{25}\right) +\frac{1}{4} = \frac{46}{25}[/tex]

Thus, our two intersection points are:

[tex]\displaystyle (3, -2) \text{ and } \left(-\frac{53}{25}, \frac{46}{25}\right)[/tex]

The other person has a great answer. Here's another approach.

If the discount is 80%, then you have to pay the remaining 20% (the two percentages add to 100%)

20% of 70 = 0.20*70 = 14

The sale price is $14 which is the amount Keiko pays
