Answer:

The mean number of cars recovered after being stolen is 267 and the standard deviation is 5.42.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each stolen car, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is recovered, or it is not. The probability of a stolen car being recovered is independent of other stolen cars. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

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)}

In this problem, we have that:

n = 300, p = 0.89

So

E(X) = np = 300*0.89 = 267

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{300*0.89*0.11} = 5.42

The mean number of cars recovered after being stolen is 267 and the standard deviation is 5.42.

frutty [35]

Answer:

  1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the ratio of "rise" to "run".

__

This line goes through grid intersections at (0, -7) and (2, -6), a rise of 1 unit for a run of 2 units to the right. The slope is ...

  slope = rise/run = 1/2

You have ​$23 comma 000 to​ invest, part at 8 % and the rest at 9 %. If x is the amount invested at 8 %​, write an algebraic exp
Vinvika [58]

<em>x</em> = amount invested at 8 %. Then 23 000 - <em>x</em> = amount invested at 9 %

Annual income (<em>I</em>) = interest at 8 % + interest at 9 %

<em>I</em> = 0.08<em>x</em> + 0.09(23 000 – <em>x</em>)

<em>I</em> = 0.08<em>x</em> + 2070 – 0.09<em>x</em>

<em>I</em> = 2070 – 0.01<em>x</em>
