The University of Washington claims that it graduates 85% of its basketball players. An NCAA investigation about the graduation

Nonamiya [84]

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events

The given parameters are:

Sample size: n = 20
Proportion: p = 85%

<h3>(a) What is the probability that 11 out of the 20 would graduate? </h3>

Using the binomial probability formula, we have:

$P(X = x) = ^nC_x p^x(1 - p)^{n -x}$

So, the equation becomes

$P(x = 11) = ^{20}C_{11} \times (85\%)^{11} \times (1 - 85\%)^{20 -11}$

This gives

$P(x = 11) = 167960 \times (0.85)^{11} \times 0.15^{9}$

$P(x = 11) = 0.0011$

Express as percentage

$P(x = 11) = 0.11\%$

Hence, the probability that 11 out of the 20 would graduate is 0.11%

<h3>(b) To what extent do you think the university’s claim is true?</h3>

The probability 0.11% is less than 50%.

Hence, the extent that the university’s claim is true is very low

<h3>(c) What is the probability that all 20 would graduate? </h3>

Using the binomial probability formula, we have:

$P(X = x) = ^nC_x p^x(1 - p)^{n -x}$

So, the equation becomes

$P(x = 20) = ^{20}C_{20} \times (85\%)^{20} \times (1 - 85\%)^{20 -20}$

This gives

$P(x = 20) = 1 \times (0.85)^{20} \times (0.15\%)^0$

$P(x = 20) = 0.0388$

Express as percentage

$P(x = 20) = 3.88\%$

Hence, the probability that all 20 would graduate is 3.88%

<h3>(d) The mean and the standard deviation</h3>

The mean is calculated as:

$\mu = np$

So, we have:

$\mu = 20 \times 85\%$

$\mu = 17$

The standard deviation is calculated as:

$\sigma = np(1 - p)$

So, we have:

$\sigma = 20 \times 85\% \times (1 - 85\%)$

$\sigma = 20 \times 0.85 \times 0.15$

$\sigma = 2.55$

Hence, the mean and the standard deviation are 17 and 2.55, respectively.

A letter that represents an unknown number is

Ganezh [65]

Hey there! Hello!

I believe what this question (more of a statement) is asking is to identify what a letter that represents an unknown number is called. Most of the time, i refer to it as just a variable, or an unknown variable. It can also be referred to as just an unknown value.

Feel free to ask me any additional questions if you have any! :-)

Juan hikes up a mountain. He hikes back down at a constant rate. The table shows Juan's elevation at each hour after he begins h

Dimas [21]

The linear function that describes Juan's elevation during his descent is:

B. y = -1460x + 7500.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

In this problem, each hour, the height decays by 1460, hence the slope is of m = -1460, then:

y = -1460x + b.

The y-intercept is found considering that when x = 1, y = 6040, hence:

b = 6040 + 1460 = 7500.

Which means that option B is correct.

❗️Please help BIG POINTS❗️

Inessa [10]

Dude, what kind of question is this??? Here's my best shot.
If they start at the 32-mile mark, then the we can use 32 as the intercept. 50 can be the change in position over time, so
y=50x+32 (?)

Help with this math question... Leslie created a rectangle on the coordinate plane. Three of the vertices are (5,-2), (5,2), (2,

Aloiza [94]

Draw the points on a graph, you will have three points and need to add the fourth to make the corners of a rectangle. After you have found the point on the missing corner of the rectangle see what its x and y coordinates are.

The answer is: (2, -2)
