Answer:

£210

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of 600= 150

2/5 of 600= 240

240 + 150= 390

600 - 390 = 210

She has £210 left

7/20 is the fraction she has left.

1/4 + 2/5= 13/20 she has spent so she has 7/20 left.
You can also check this by adding the 150 + 240 = 390 she has spent and 210 she left to spend. 210/600 = 7/20

Answer:

13.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean Theorem:

Both of the lengths given are the legs,

13.5^2 + 3.2^2 = c^2

182.25 + 10.24 = c^2

192.49 = c^2

13.87 = c

An ice cream truck was parked near a beach, and some kids ran to it and formed a line. Then, more kids joined the line by fillin

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know that this process happened 3 times in total. The original amount of kids we can call x, so the next wave filled in the gaps inbetween, so we call that amount x-1, the next wave would be (x+x-1)-1 or 2x-2, and the last would be 4x-4

adding this all up we get 8x-7=49, so 8x = 56 or x = 7

An article reports that 1 in 500 people carry the defective gene that causes inherited colon cancer. In a sample of 2500 individ

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The approximate distribution of the number who carry this gene is approximately normal with mean $\mu = 5$ and standard deviation $\sigma = 2.23$

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they carry the defective gene that causes inherited colon cancer, or they do not. The probability of a person carrying this gene is independent from other people. So the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

A sample of 2500 individuals is quite large, so we use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses 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:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

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

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

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

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 $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

An article reports that 1 in 500 people carry the defective gene that causes inherited colon cancer.

This means that $p = \frac{1}{500} = 0.002$

In a sample of 2500 individuals, what is the approximate distribution of the number who carry this gene?

$n = 2500$

$\mu = E(X) = np = 2500*0.002 = 5$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{2500*0.002*0.998} = 2.23$

So the approximate distribution of the number who carry this gene is approximately normal with mean $\mu = 5$ and standard deviation $\sigma = 2.23$
