A survey showed that 72​% of adults need correction​ (eyeglasses, contacts,​ surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. If 18 adults are

randomly​ selected, find the probability that no more than 1 of them need correction for their eyesight. Is 1 a significantly low number of adults requiring eyesight​ correction?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  survey showed that 72​% of adults need correction​ (eyeglasses, contacts,​ surgery, etc.) for their eyesight

X - number of people who need correction for their eyesight

X is binomial since each event is independent and there are only two outcmes.

X (18, 0.72)

Required probability = the probability that no more than 1 of them need correction for their eyesight.

=P(X=0)+P(X=1)=0.00000296+0.000137

=0.00014

Yes 1 is a significantly low number as probability is almost zero.

What is the total area of the prism?
Pavlova-9 [17]
First we look for the area of the triangle which is given by:
 A = (1/2) * (4) * (6)
 A = 12 feet ^ 2
 Area of the rectangles:
 Rectangle 1:
 R1 = (4) * (8)
 R1 = 32 feet ^ 2
 Rectangle 2:
 R2 = (6) * (8)
 R2 = 48 feet ^ 2
 Rectangle 3:
 R3 = (root (6 ^ 2 + 4 ^ 2)) * (8))
 R3 = 57,68882041 feet ^ 2
 The total area will be:
 A = 2A + R1 + R2 + R3
 Substituting values:
 A = 2 * (12) + 32 + 48 + 57,68882041
 A = 161.6888204 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 
The total area of the prism is:
 
A = 161.6888204 feet ^ 2

The diagonal AC is drawn in parallelogram ABCD Which method can NOT be used to prove that AABC is congruent to ACDA?
diamong [38]

Answer:

B SSA

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric proofs can be used to show that the two triangles are congruent using ASA, SAS and SSS.

However, there is no such thing as SSA in geometry because an angle and two sides can not show congruence of triangles. This is so because the angle is not an included angle.

Read this E[2X^2 â€" Y].
djyliett [7]

Looks like a badly encoded/decoded symbol. It's supposed to be a minus sign, so you're asked to find the expectation of 2<em>X </em>² - <em>Y</em>.

If you don't know how <em>X</em> or <em>Y</em> are distributed, but you know E[<em>X</em> ²] and E[<em>Y</em>], then it's as simple as distributing the expectation over the sum:

E[2<em>X </em>² - <em>Y</em>] = 2 E[<em>X </em>²] - E[<em>Y</em>]

Or, if you're given the expectation and variance of <em>X</em>, you have

Var[<em>X</em>] = E[<em>X</em> ²] - E[<em>X</em>]²

→   E[2<em>X </em>² - <em>Y</em>] = 2 (Var[<em>X</em>] + E[<em>X</em>]²) - E[<em>Y</em>]

Otherwise, you may be given the density function, or joint density, in which case you can determine the expectations by computing an integral or sum.

The weights of packets of cookies produced by a certain manufacturer have a Normal distribution with a mean of 202 grams and a s
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

209.005 gms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the weights of packets of cookies produced by a certain manufacturer have a Normal distribution with a mean of 202 grams and a standard deviation of 3 grams.

Let X be the weight of packets of cookies produced by manufacturer

X is N(202, 3) gms.

To find the  weight that should be stamped on the packet so that only 1% of the packets are underweight

i.e. P(X<c) <0.01

From std normal table we find that z value = 2.335

Corresponding x value = 202+3(2.335)

=209.005 gms.
