Answer:

0.3478

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The number of sophomore, S = 150

- The sophomore and had summer internship, x = 80

- The number of juniors, J = 200

- The junior and had summer internship, y = 150

Find:-

What is the probability that the person is a sophomore given that the person had a summer internship?

Solution:-

- The total sum of sophomore and junior students is N:

                         N = S + J

                         N = 150 + 200

                         N = 350 students.

- We will denote event A as random selection of sophomore from total.

- We will denote event B as random selection of student who had summer internship.

- We are to determine the conditional probability that a person selected is sophomore given that the person had a summer internship. That is the probability of event A given that event B has already occured.

- The conditional probability can be written as:

                        P ( A / B ) = P ( A & B ) / P ( B )

Where,

        P ( A & B ) : The probability the person is a sophomore and had a summer internship.

        P ( B ): The probability that the person selected had a summer internship.

                      P ( A & B ) = x / N

                                        = 80 / 350

                                        = 0.22857143

                     P ( B ) = ( x + y ) / N

                               = ( 80 + 150 ) / 350 = 230/350

                               = 0.65714286

Therefore the required probability is:

           

                     P ( A / B ) = 0.22857143 / 0.65714286

                                      = 0.3478  ... Answer

The flag of a country contains an isosceles triangle.​ (Recall that an isosceles triangle contains two angles with the same​ mea
weeeeeb [17]

31 degrees, 31 degrees, 118 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let x be the measure of 2 angles of the given isosceles triangle with same measure

Let y be the measure of  3rd angle

So we have x + x + y = 180

Step 2 :

Given that the measure of  3rd angle of  triangle is 25​° more than three times the measure of either of the other two​ angles

So we have , y = 3 x + 25

Step 3:

Substituting for y in the first equation we have,

x + x + 3 x + 25 = 180

=> 5 x + 25 = 180

=> 5 x = 180-25 = 155

=> x = 155/5 = 31

Hence the 2 angles of the triangle are 31 degrees.

Step 4:

we have y = 3 x + 25

=> y = 3 * 31 + 25 = 118

Hence the 3rd angle of given triangle is 118 degrees

A grower believes that one in five of his citrus trees are infected with the citrus red mite. How large a sample should be taken
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

n=6147

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

X=1 number of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

n=5 random sample taken

\hat p=\frac{1}{5}=0.2 estimated proportion of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

p true population proportion of citrus trees that are infected with the citrus red mite.

Me=0.01 represent the margin of error desired

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})

In order to find the critical values we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical values would be given by:

t_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.01 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.96})^2}=6146.56  

And rounded up we have that n=6147
