Answer:

99.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that mean (μ) = 394.3 ms and standard deviation (σ) = 84.6 ms.

The empirical rule states that for a normal distribution:

  1. 68% falls within one standard deviation (μ ± σ)
  2. 95% falls within two standard deviation (μ ± 2σ)
  3. 99.7% falls within three standard deviation (μ ± 3σ)

one standard deviation = 394.3 ± 84.6 = (309.7, 478.9). 68% falls within 309.7 and 478.9 ms

two standard deviation = 394.3 ± 2 × 84.6 = (225.1, 563.5). 95% falls within 225.1 and 563.5 ms

three standard deviation = 394.3 ± 3 × 84.6 = (140.5, 648.1). 99.7% falls within 140.5 and 648.1 ms

The number of typographical errors on a page of the first booklet is a Poisson random variable with mean 0.2. The number of typo
muminat

Answer:

The required probability is 0.55404.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The number of typographical errors on a page of the first booklet is a Poisson random variable with mean 0.2. The number of typographical errors on a page of second booklet is a Poisson random variable with mean 0.3.

Average error for 7 pages booklet and 5 pages booklet series is:

λ = 0.2×7 + 0.3×5 = 2.9

According to Poisson distribution: {\displaystyle P(k{\text{ events in interval}})={\frac {\lambda ^{k}e^{-\lambda }}{k!}}}

Where \lambda is average number of events.

The probability of more than 2 typographical errors in the two booklets in total is:

P(k > 2)= 1 - {P(k = 0) + P(k = 1) + P(k = 2)}

Substitute the respective values in the above formula.

P(k > 2)= 1 - ({\frac {2.9 ^{0}e^{-2.9}}{0!}} + \frac {2.9 ^{1}e^{-2.9}}{1!}} + \frac {2.9 ^{2}e^{-2.9}}{2!}})

P(k > 2)= 1 - (0.44596)

P(k > 2)=0.55404

Hence, the required probability is 0.55404.

A researcher at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is studying the growth of a certain bacteria. He starts his exper
steposvetlana [31]

The population of the bacteria after 8 hours is 1639 bacteria.

An exponential function is given by:

y = abˣ

where y, x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplier.

Let y represent the population of bacteria after x hours.

Given that he starts his experiment with 500 bacteria, hence

a = 500

The bacteria grow at a rate of 16% per hour, hence:

b = 100% + 16% = 1.16

The exponential equation becomes:

y = 500(1.16)ˣ

After 8 hours:

y = 500(1.16)⁸ = 1639

The population of the bacteria after 8 hours is 1639 bacteria.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

the sampling distribution of proportions

Step-by-step explanation:

A sample is a small group of observations which is a subset of a larger population containing the entire set of observations. The proportion of success or measure of a certain statistic from the sample, (in the scenario above, the proportion of obese observations on our sample) gives us the sample proportion. Repeated measurement of the sample proportion of this sample whose size is large enough (usually greater Than 30) in other to obtain a range of different proportions for the sample is called the sampling distribution of proportion. Hence, creating a visual plot such as a dot plot of these repeated measurement of the proportion of obese observations gives the sampling distribution of proportions
