About 12.5% of restaurant bills are incorrect. If 200 bills are selected at ran- dom, find the probability that at least 22 will contain an error. Is this likely or unlikely to occur

Answers

Answer:

0.7734 = 77.34% probability that at least 22 will contain an error. Probability above 50%, which means that this is likely to occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

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 z-score 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 p-value, 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].

About 12.5% of restaurant bills are incorrect.

This means that [tex]p = 0.125[/tex]

200 bills are selected at random

This means that [tex]n = 200[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 200*0.125 = 25[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{200*0.125*0.875} = 4.677[/tex]

Find the probability that at least 22 will contain an error.

Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \geq 22 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 21.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 21.5. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{21.5 - 25}{4.677}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.75[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.75[/tex] has a p-value of 0.2266.

1 - 0.2266 = 0.7734

0.7734 = 77.34% probability that at least 22 will contain an error. Probability above 50%, which means that this is likely to occur.

1 calculate the weight of a dog on the earth and on the moon if it has a mass of 28kg

Answers

To solve the problem.

W=m×g

W=28×10

W=280.

The weight of a dog on the surface of earth is 280N.

Answer:

274.68N and 45.36N respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of any object is the mass in kilograms(kg) multiplied by the gravity in meter per square second(m/s^2). The gravity on earth is 9.81m/s^2 and on moon is 1.62m/s^2...so since the gravity varies the weight of the dog will also vary. The wight on earth would be 28kg multiplied by 9.81m/s^2 which would be 274.68N and the weight on moon would be 28kg multiplied by 1.62m/s^2 which would be 45.36N.

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf x \approx 1.9}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find x, a missing side in a triangle.

This is a right triangle because there is a small square in the corner representing a 90 degree or right angle. Therefore, we can use right triangle trigonometry. The three main functions are:

sinθ= opposite/hypotenuse cosθ= adjacent/hypotenuse tanθ= opposite/adjacent

Examine the triangle. We will use angle S, measuring 54 degrees, for theta. Side QR, measuring x, is opposite angle S. Side QS, measuring 2.3, is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle. Since we have the opposite and hypotenuse, we will use sine.

[tex]sin \theta = \frac {opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

θ= 54opposite= x hypotenuse = 2.3

[tex]sin (54)= \frac{ x}{2.3}[/tex]

We are solving for x, so we must isolate the variable. It is being divided by 2.3 The inverse operation of division is multiplication, so we multiply both sides by 2.3

[tex]2.3* sin (54)= \frac{x}{2.3}*2.3[/tex]

[tex]2.3* sin (54)=x[/tex]

[tex]2.3*0.8090169944=x[/tex]

[tex]1.860739087 =x[/tex]

Round to the nearest tenth. The 6 in the hundredth place to the right tells us to round the 8 up to a 9.

[tex]1.9 \approx x[/tex]

x is approximately 1.9

What is central angle?

A central angle exists an angle whose vertex stands present at the center of a circle created by the two radii as the sides of the angle.

In Mathematics, an “arc” exists as a smooth curve joining two endpoints. In general, an arc exists one of the portions of a circle. It is essentially a part of the circumference of a circle. Arc exists as a part of a curve. An arc can be a portion of some other curved constitutions like an ellipse but mostly guides to a circle.

We can only solve for x if the triangles are similar. The arrows on the left and right legs say those are parallel. Since alternate interior angles at each of the transversals are congruent, the triangles are AA similar.

ΔABC ~ ΔDEC, so we have ...

  EC/ED = BC/BA

  x = (18 cm)(7/9) = 14 cm

2sin^2(2x) + 1 = 3sin(2x) Solve for x with exact answers. The domain is 0 ≤ x ≤ π

Answers

Answer:

x = π/12 and x = π/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

2sin^2(2x) + 1 = 3sin(2x)

2sin^2(2x) - 3sin(2x) + 1 = 0

(2sin(2x) - 1)(sin(2x) - 1) = 0

2sin(2x) - 1 = 0

2sin(2x) = 1

sin(2x) = 1/2

When there is a variable n = π/6, sin(π/6) = 1/2 [refer to the unit circle].

2x = π/6

x = π/12

sin(2x) - 1 = 0

sin(2x) = 1

When there is a variable n = π/2, sin(π/2) = 1 [refer to the unit circle].

2x = π/2

x = π/4

Considering the given function, we have that:

b) 0.3382 years a decade.

c) 2.6184.

What is the function?

The median age of the U.S. population in t decades after 1960 is:

f(t) = -0.2176t³ + 1.962t² - 2.833t + 29.4.

1970 is one decade after 1960, hence the median was:

f(1) = -0.2176 x 1³ + 1.962 x 1² - 2.833 x 1 + 29.4 = 28.31 years.

The rate of change was is the derivative when t = 1, hence:

f'(t) = -0.6528t² + 3.924t - 2.933

f'(1) = -0.6528 x 1² + 3.924 x 1 - 2.933 = 0.3382 years a decade.

The second derivative is:

f''(t) = -1.3056t + 3.924

Hence:

f''(1) = -1.3056 x 1 + 3.924 = 2.6184.

Median = 73

Mean = ΣX / n = 1902 / 25 = 76.08

The mode = 79 ( most frequently occurring)

Median = 1/2(n+1)th term = 1/(26) = 13th term

Median = 77

According to the computed statistics, we can conclude that, today is worse than the past as the average score which is almost similar to the median value is higher 10 years ago and the modal score is better 10 years ago as well.
