A candy company claims that 20% of the candies in its bags are colored green. Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects

one candy from each, and counts the number of green candies. If there are 5, 6, or 7 green candies, Steve will conclude that the company’s claim is correct. What is the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim? Use a TI-83, TI-83 plus, or TI-84 calculator to find the probability.

Answer:

The probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> denote the number of green candies.

The probability of green candies is, <em>p</em> = 0.20.

Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects one candy from each, and counts the number of green candies.

So, <em>n</em> = 30 candies are randomly selected.

All the candies are independent of each other.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a binomial distribution with parameter <em>n</em> = 30 and <em>p</em> = 0.20.

It is provided that if there are 5, 6, or 7 green candies, Steve will conclude that the company’s claim is correct.

Compute the probability of 5, 6 and 7 green candies as follows:

P(X=5)={30\choose 5}(0.20)^{5}(1-0.20)^{30-5}=0.17228\\\\P(X=6)={30\choose 6}(0.20)^{6}(1-0.20)^{30-6}=0.17946\\\\P(X=7)={30\choose 7}(0.20)^{7}(1-0.20)^{30-7}=0.15328

Then the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is:

P (Accepting the claim) = P (X = 5) + P (X = 6) + P (X = 7)

                                       = 0.17228 + 0.17946 + 0.15328

                                       = 0.50502

Thus, the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.

Calculating the degrees of freedom, the sample variance, and the estimated standard error for evaluations using the t statistic
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

a) For the first part we have a sample of n =10 and we want to find the degrees of freedom, and we can use the following formula:

df = n-1= 10-1=9

d.9

b) s^2 = \frac{SS}{n-1}= \frac{600}{41-1}= 15

a.15

c) For this case we have the sample size n = 25 and the sample variance is s^2 =400 , the standard error can founded with this formula:

SE = \frac{s^2}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{400}{\sqrt{25}}= 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For the first part we have a sample of n =10 and we want to find the degrees of freedom, and we can use the following formula:

df = n-1= 10-1=9

d.9

Part b

From a sample we know that n=41 and SS= 600, where SS represent the sum of quares given by:

SS = \sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2

And the sample variance for this case can be calculated from this formula:

s^2 = \frac{SS}{n-1}= \frac{600}{41-1}= 15

a.15

Part c

For this case we have the sample size n = 25 and the sample variance is s^2 =400 , the standard error can founded with this formula:

SE = \frac{s^2}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{400}{\sqrt{25}}= 80

Find the value of x 3x+1=x+9​
Ann [662]

Answer:

X = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

you just gotta subtract 1 from both sides in order to find what x equals. and from there you subtract x from both sides, any letter has an invisible 1 in front, so then you divide 2 from both sides. and you get x = 4
