Answer:

\sf 1) \quad \dfrac{1}{14}

\sf 2) \quad \dfrac{13}{14}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • 6 sixth graders
  • 7 seventh graders
  • 8 eight graders

Total = 6 + 7 + 8 = 21

\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = \dfrac{Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur}{Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes}

<h3><u>Question 1</u></h3>

The probability of the 1st pick being a 6th grader:

\implies \sf P(6th\:grader)=\dfrac{6}{21}=\dfrac{2}{7}

Now there will be 5 sixth graders left and a total of 20 left.

So, the probability of the 2nd pick being a 6th grader:

\implies \sf P(6th\:grader)=\dfrac{5}{20}=\dfrac{1}{4}

Therefore,

\implies \textsf{P(6th grader) and P(6th grader)}= \sf \dfrac{2}{7} \times \dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{2}{28}=\dfrac{1}{14}

<h3><u>Question 2</u></h3>

Law of Total Probability states that the sum of probabilities is 1

\implies \textsf{P(two 6th graders) + P(not two 6th graders)}=1

\implies \sf \dfrac{1}{14}+\textsf{P(not two 6th graders)}=1

\implies \sf \textsf{P(not two 6th graders)}=1-\dfrac{1}{14}=\dfrac{13}{14}

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>P (6th grader)</u>

  • No. of 6th graders / Total students
  • 6 / 6 + 7 + 8
  • 6/21
  • 2/7

<u>P (6th grader after)</u>

  • No. of 6th graders - 1 / Total students - 1
  • 6 - 1 / 21 - 1
  • 5/20
  • 1/4

<u>Question 1 : P (Both 6th graders)</u>

  • P = P (6th grader) × P (6th grader after)
  • P = 2/7 x 1/4 = 2/28 = <u>1/14</u>

<u></u>

<u>Question 2 : P' (Both 6th graders)</u>

  • P' = 1 - P
  • P' = 1 - 1/14
  • P' = <u>13/14</u>

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The minimum sample size required to ensure that the estimate has an error of at most 0.14 at the 95% level of confidence is n=567.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the minimum sample size n needed to have a margin of error below 0.14.

The critical value of z for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

To do that, we use the margin of error formula in function of n:

MOE=\dfrac{z\cdot \sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\\n=\left(\dfrac{z\cdot \sigma}{MOE}\right)^2=\left(\dfrac{1.96\cdot 1.7}{0.14}\right)^2=(23.8)^2=566.42\approx 567

The minimum sample size to have this margin of error is n = 567.

Problem 11

<h3>Answer:  h = 2A/b</h3>

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

Explanation:

We need to get h by itself. To do so, we first multiply both sides by 2. Then we divide both sides by b

A = (1/2)*b*h

2A = b*h

b*h = 2A

h = 2A/b

================================================

Problem 12

<h3>Answers:</h3>
  • Equation:   (n+2)/5 = 14
  • Solution to that equation:  n = 68

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

Explanation:

The number n is increased by 2 to get n+2

Then we divide by 5 to get (n+2)/5

This is set equal to 14 to get the equation (n+2)/5 = 14

Solving the equation would look like this

(n+2)/5 = 14

n+2 = 5*14 .... multiply both sides by 5

n+2 = 70

n = 70-2 .... subtract 2 from both sides

n = 68

================================================

Problem 13

<h3>Answer: Not a solution</h3>

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

Explanation:

We'll replace every copy of x with -3 and simplify

-2x + 5 > 13

-2*(-3) + 5 > 13

6 + 5 > 13

11 > 13

The last inequality is false because 11 is not greater than 13. Since the last inequality is false, this makes the first inequality false when x = -3.

Therefore, x = -3 is not a solution.
