Answer:

30% students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of total students of a school.

63% are girls then total number of girls = (0.63)x

37% are boys then total number of boys = ( 0.37)x

Now 23% of girls wear contacts then total number of girls

= (0.63x) × 0.23

= (0.1449x)

And 42% of boys wear contacts then total number of boys wearing contacts

= (0.37x) ( 0.42)

= (0.1554)x

Total students wears contacts = ( 0.1449x) + (0.1554x)

= (0.3003x)

Percentage of students wear contacts = $\frac{\text{total students wear contacts}}{\text{total students in school}}$ × 100

= $\frac{0.03003x}{x}$ × 100

= 30%

All 30% students wear contacts.

If you need help for all 3 questions then ok.
Here’s what you need to do. If they give you a rectangular prism with a side length of #, that number is the length, width and height. I’ll help you for the first picture. They asked how many cubic blocks with a SIDE LENGTH of 1/7 in can fill in a cube with the SIDE LENGTH of 3/7 in. Here is your equation: (3/7 x 3/7 x 3/7) / (1/7 x 1/7 x 1/7). That’s how you solve it. (The slash stands for division.) Now do the same thing with the other pictures. They will ask you how many blocks with a side length of # can fill in a prism with the length, width, and height (or just a side length without saying the l, w and h.) Hopefully this helped! If I got it wrong or if you need help cause you didn’t get what I mean, let me know.

The probability that your call to a service line is answered in less than 30 seconds is 0.75. Assume that your calls are indepen

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

a) 0.2581

b) 0.4148

c) 17

Step-by-step explanation:

For each call, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are answered in less than 30 seconds. Or they are not. The probabilities for each call are independent. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

In this problem we have that:

$p = 0.75$

a. If you call 12 times, what is the probability that exactly 9 of your calls are answered within 30 seconds? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

This is $P(X = 9)$ when $n = 12$ . So

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

$P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.75)^{9}.(0.25)^{3} = 0.2581$

b. If you call 20 times, what is the probability that at least 16 calls are answered in less than 30 seconds? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

This is $P(X \geq 16)$ when $n = 20$

So

$P(X \geq 16) = P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

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

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.75)^{16}.(0.25)^{4} = 0.1897$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,17}.(0.75)^{17}.(0.25)^{3} = 0.1339$

$P(X = 18) = C_{20,18}.(0.75)^{18}.(0.25)^{2} = 0.0669$

$P(X = 19) = C_{20,19}.(0.75)^{19}.(0.25)^{1} = 0.0211$

$P(X = 20) = C_{20,20}.(0.75)^{20}.(0.25)^{0} = 0.0032$

So

$P(X \geq 16) = P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.1897 + 0.1339 + 0.0669 + 0.0211 + 0.0032 = 0.4148$

c. If you call 22 times, what is the mean number of calls that are answered in less than 30 seconds? Round your answer to the nearest integer.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

In this question, we have $n = 22$

So

$E(X) = 22*0.75 = 16.5$

The closest integer to 16.5 is 17.
