You did not specify the brother's age, so I make a expression, <em>b</em> as the variable.

(3<em>b</em> + 5) - 11

Now do that with the brother age instead of the variable.

(3b + 5) - 11 = 3

you first add 3 and 5 which equals 8 ten you subtract 11 and 8 which equals 3, so jane is 3 years old

True or false, areas under the standard normal curve cannot be negative, whereas z-scores can be positive or negative.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a statement. We are asked to determine the given statement is true or false.

Statement: Areas under the standard normal curve cannot be negative, whereas z-scores can be positive or negative.

We know that area under the standard normal curve is equal to 1, so area under normal curve cannot be negative.

We know that a z-score represents that a data point is how many standard deviation above or below mean.

When a data point is less than mean, then z-score will be negative and when a data point is greater than mean, the z-score will be positive.

Therefore, our given statement is true.

Q1. Ten percent of the items produced by a machine are defective. A random sample of 100 items is selected and checked for defec

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: 0.030

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The percent of the items produced by a machine are defective : $P=10\%=0.10$

The percent of the items produced by machine which are not defective: $Q=1-0.1=0.9$

Sample size : n = 100

Now, the standard error of the proportion is given by :-

$\text{S.E.}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.1\times0.9}{100}}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{S.E.}=0.030$

Hence, the the standard error of the distribution of the sample proportions=0.030

A certain virus infects one in every 200 people. a test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 70% of the time when t

V125BC [204]

We're told that

$P(A)=\dfrac1{200}=0.005\implies P(A^C)=0.995$

$P(B\mid A)=0.7$

$P(B\mid A^C)=0.05$

a. We want to find $P(A\mid B)$ . By definition of conditional probability,

$P(A\mid B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}$

By the law of total probability,

$P(B)=P(B\cap A)+P(B\cap A^C)=P(B\mid A)P(A)+P(B\mid A^C)P(A^C)$

Then

$P(A\mid B)=\dfrac{P(B\mid A)P(A)}{P(B\mid A)P(A)+P(B\mid A^C)P(A^C)}\approx0.0657$

(the first equality is Bayes' theorem)

b. We want to find $P(A^C\mid B^C)$ .

$P(A^C\mid B^C)=\dfrac{P(A^C\cap B^C)}{P(B^C)}=\dfrac{P(B^C\mid A^C)P(A^C)}{1-P(B)}\approx0.9984$

since $P(B^C\mid A^C)=1-P(B\mid A^C)$ .
