Based on a​ poll, among adults who regret getting​ tattoos, 28​% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos. Assum

e that eight adults who regret getting tattoos are randomly​ selected, and find the indicated probability. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d) below.
a. Find the probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.

b. Find the probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.

c. Find the probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.

d. If we randomly select eight ​adults, is 1 a significantly low number who say that they were too young to get​ tattoos?

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so we can use the binomial distribution formula, since certain constraints are met in this case:

  • each event is independent
  • there is either a failure or a success
  • there is a set number of trials
  • the probability of success is constant (basically independence)

<u><em>Binomial Distribution Formula:</em></u>

    P(x)=(^n_x)*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}

    In this formula n=number of trials

    p = probability of success

    (1-p) = probability of failure

    x = number of success

    and P(x) = probability of getting "x" successes

   The combination formula can be calculated using the following  formula:  (^n_k) =\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

So let's define the values in the equation:

  • n = 8
  • p = 0.28

The x depends on the part of the question we're on, so let's start with part A:

  • So in this case x=0, since the number of "successes" in this context just means how many adults regret getting a tattoo.
  • So plugging in the values into the binomial distribution formula we get the following equation:
  • P(0)=\frac{8!}{0!*(8-0)!}*0.28^0*0.72^{8-0}
  • P(0)=\frac{8!}{1*8!}*1*0.72^8
  • Simplifying further we get:
  • P(0)=0.72^8
  • Now  just use a calculator to calculate this value:
  • P(0)\approx0.0722
  • This can also be represented as 7.22%, by  multiplying this by 100

Part B:

    So in this case x=1, so plugging this into the formula we get:

   P(1)=\frac{8!}{1!*(8-1)!}*0.28^1*0.72^{8-1}\\\\P(1)=\frac{8*7!}{7!}*0.28*0.72^7\\P(1)\approx 8*0.28*0.1003\\P(1)\approx 0.2247

    This can also be represented as 22.47%

Part C:

    So in this case, all we really have to do is add the probabilities, as you may recall the formula: P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)

   In this case, it's mutually exclusive, because there is no chance of getting 0 and 1 at the same time, so the probability of P(A and B) is just 0, so we simplify the equation to: P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)

   So adding the two probabilities calculated in the previous questions we get: P(x\le1)\approx 0.2247+0.0722\\P(x\le1) \approx 0.2969

    The probability can also be represented as  29.69%

Part D:

   As calculated in one of the previous parts, the probability is approximately 22%, which isn't significantly low and has around a 1/5 chance of occurring so if this were to occur, there is no reason to suspect that the probabilities are incorrect.

A manufacturer of paper coffee cups would like to estimate the proportion of cups that are defective (tears, broken seems, etc.)
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a

  The 95% confidence interval is  0.0503  <   p < 0.1297

b

The sample proportion is  \r p =  0.09

c

The critical value is  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

d

 The standard error is  SE   =0.020

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sample size is  n =  200

     The number of defective is  k =  18

The null hypothesis is  H_o  :  p  =  0.08

The  alternative hypothesis is  H_a  :  p > 0.08

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically evaluated as

            \r p =  \frac{18}{200}

            \r p =  0.09

Given that the confidence level is  95% then the level  of significance is mathematically evaluated as

        \alpha  =  100 -  95

        \alpha  =  5\%

        \alpha  =  0.05

Next we obtain the critical value of  \frac{ \alpha }{2} from the normal distribution table, the value is  

        Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the standard of error is mathematically represented as

          SE   =  \sqrt{\frac{\r p (1 -  \r p)}{n} }

substituting values

         SE   =  \sqrt{\frac{0.09  (1 -  0.09)}{200} }

        SE   =0.020

The  margin of error is  

       E =  Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} }  * SE

=>    E =  1.96  *  0.020

=>   E =  0.0397

The  95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

     \r p  -  E  <  \mu <  p <  \r p  + E

=>   0.09 - 0.0397  <  \mu <  p < 0.09 + 0.0397

=>  0.0503  <   p < 0.1297

Which expression can be used to check the answer to 56 ÷ (-14) = n?
kozerog [31]
A. Multiplication is the ONLY function that reverses what division did. If you did 56/-14 = n, then n x -14 should equal 56.
