Answer:

(a) 0.28347

(b) 0.36909

(c) 0.0039

(d) 0.9806

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

n=12

p = 20% = 0.2

q = 1-p = 1-0.2 = 0.8

Binomial formula:

P(x=r)=^nC_rp^rq^{n-r}

(a) Exactly two will be drunken drivers.

P(x=2)=^{12}C_{2}(0.2)^{2}(0.8)^{12-2}

P(x=2)=66(0.2)^{2}(0.8)^{10}

P(x=2)=\approx 0.28347

Therefore, the probability that exactly two will be drunken drivers is 0.28347.

(b)Three or four will be drunken drivers.

P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=P(x=3)\cup P(x=4)

P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=P(x=3)+P(x=4)

Using binomial we get

P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=^{12}C_{3}(0.2)^{3}(0.8)^{12-3}+^{12}C_{4}(0.2)^{4}(0.8)^{12-4}

P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=0.236223+0.132876

P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)\approx 0.369099

Therefore, the probability that three or four will be drunken drivers is 0.3691.

(c)

At least 7 will be drunken drivers.

P(x\geq 7)=1-P(x

P(x\leq 7)=1-[P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)+P(x=5)+P(x=6)]

P(x\leq 7)=1-[0.06872+0.20616+0.28347+0.23622+0.13288+0.05315+0.0155]

P(x\leq 7)=1-[0.9961]

P(x\leq 7)=0.0039

Therefore, the probability of at least 7 will be drunken drivers is 0.0039.

(d) At most 5 will be drunken drivers.

P(x\leq 5)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)+P(x=5)

P(x\leq 5)=0.06872+0.20616+0.28347+0.23622+0.13288+0.05315

P(x\leq 5)=0.9806

Therefore, the probability of at most 5 will be drunken drivers is 0.9806.

Answer:

The surface area of the triangular prism is 84 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a figure is exactly what it means, the area of its outer surface or the added areas of each face that makes the figure.

Nets are a way to find surface area easier because it is an outline of the faces of the 3d figure.

But since we don’t have a net, we will just find the area of each face that forms this right triangular prism:

The two congruent triangular bases:

1/2 x 4 x 3 = 6 cm^2

6 x 2 = 12 cm^2

Lateral bottom rectangular face:

6 x 3 = 18 cm^2

Lateral to the right rectangular face:

5 x 6 = 30 cm^2

Lateral to the left rectangular face:

4 x 6 = 24 cm^2

Add up all the values:

12 + 18 + 30 + 24 = 84

The SA is 84 square centimeters

Illusion [34]

First you take 15 and divide it by 5. That leaves you with 3. You also need to decide the x’s so you subtract the exponents (2-3=-1)

so you now have (y^10z^7)/(y^4z^10)3x^-1

Next we will divide the y’s.

Again, subtract the exponents (10-4=6) to get y^6

Now we have (3x^-1)(y^6) (z^7/z^10)

Last is z, we subtract the exponents again (7-10=-3) and get z^-3

Our answer is (3x^-1)(y^6)(z^-3)

A poll of 1,000 randomly selected registered voters was taken and 680 responded that they favor candidate X for mayor (p 1 = 0.6
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The interval (-0.0199, 0.0510) represents the region of values where the true difference (in population terms now) between the initial proportion of registered voters that favour candidate X and the proportion of registered voters that favour candidate X just before election can take on with a confidence level of 90%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval for the population proportion is basically an interval of range of values where the true population proportion can be found with a certain level of confidence. It is usually obtained from the sample.

p₁ represents the proportion of registered voters that favour candidate X in the initial poll, way before the election.

p₂ represents the proportion of registered voters that favour candidate X in the poll just before the election.

So, for this question the confidence interval for the true difference between the population proportion of registered voters that favour candidate X way before the elections and the population proportion that favour candidate X just before the election lies within (-0.0199, 0.0510) with a confidence interval of 90%.

Confidence interval is calculated mathematically as thus:

Confidence Interval = (Difference in Sample proportion) ± (Margin of error)

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the difference in the two sample proportions.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error)

Critical value = 1.645 (obtained from the z-tables because the sample size is large enough to ignore that information about the population standard deviation isn't given and t-critical value approximates z-critical value)

Hope this Helps!!!
