A patient's temperature was recorded at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. The first, second, and fourth readings were 112° F, 6

8° F and 85° F, respectively. If the average of the four readings was 84.75° F,
what was the third reading?

Answer:

74°F

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the average of a certain amount of numbers, you add those numbers together and divide by how many numbers there are. In this case, you would reverse that method to find the last number. We know that there were four readings, and we have three of them and the average. Multiply the average (84.75) by the number of readings (4), and you get the sum of all the readings (339). Then you subtract each of the readings that you already know to isolate the last reading. 339 - 112 (first reading) = 227, 227 - 68 (second reading) = 159, and 159 - 85 (fourth reading) = 74. Therefore, the third reading must be 74.

Write an equation for the line perpendicular to 4x - 12y = 2 and passing through point (10, -1)
MrMuchimi

Answer:

3x+y=-31

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 12y = 2\\12y = 4x-2\\y=\frac{x}{3}-\frac{1}{6}

Slope of perpendicular line is -3.

y=-3x+b

Sub in the point (10, -1)

-1=-3(10)+b\\-1=30+b\\b=-31\\y=-3x-31\\3x+y=-31

Travelers who fail to cancel their hotel reservations when they have no intention of showing up are commonly referred to as no-s
notsponge [240]

Answer:

a) 0.0523 = 5.23% probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows.

b) 0 is the most likely value for X.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each traveler who made a reservation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they show up, or they do not. The probability of a traveler showing up is independent of other travelers. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

No-show rate of 10%.

This means that p = 0.1

Four travelers who have made hotel reservations in this study.

This means that n = 4

a) What is the probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows?

This is P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{2} = 0.0486

P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{1} = 0.0036

P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.1)^{4}.(0.9)^{0} = 0.0001

P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0486 + 0.0036 + 0.0001 = 0.0523

0.0523 = 5.23% probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows.

b) What is the most likely value for X?

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{4} = 0.6561

P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{3} = 0.2916

P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{2} = 0.0486

P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{1} = 0.0036

P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.1)^{4}.(0.9)^{0} = 0.0001

X = 0 has the highest probability, which means that 0 is the most likely value for X.

Một ủy ban an toàn kiểm tra ngẫu nhiên 900 công nhân xây dựng trong thời gian làm việc, thấy có 48 công nhân không mang mũ bảo h
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The percentage of workers not wearing the helmets is 5.3 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

A safety committee randomly examined 900 construction workers during their work, and found that 48 workers were not wearing helmets. Estimate the percentage of workers who do not wear protective masks during their working time with 98% confidence

total workers = 900

Not wearing helmet = 48

Percentage which are not wearing the helmets

= \frac{48}{900}\times 100 = 5.3 %%
