Given : if x belongs to the interval -2 ≤ x < -1, then f(x) = -2

As x = -2 belongs to the interval -2 ≤ x < -1 ⇒ f(-2) = -2

As x = -1.5 belongs to the interval -2 ≤ x < -1 ⇒ f(-1.5) = -2

Given : if x belongs to the interval 1 ≤ x < 2, then f(x) = 1

As x = 1 belongs to the interval 1 ≤ x < 2 ⇒ f(1) = 1

You consider yourself a bit of an expert at playing rock-paper-scissors and estimate that the probability that you win any given

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

a) 0.37

b) 0.421

c) 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the probability of winning a game is binomial (P = 0.5) the expected value for number of winning when you play 60 games is

$\mu = 60*0.5 = 30$

And the standard deviation:

$\sigma = 60*0.5*0.5 = 15$

a) the cumulative probability of winning at least 35 games is

$P(X \geq 35) = 1 - P(X < 35) = 1 - 0.631 = 0.37$

b) $P(X < 27) = 0.421$

c) $P(30 \leq X \leq 40) = P(X \leq 40) - P(X \leq 30) = 0.75 - 0.5 = 0.25$

An environmental science teacher at a high school with a large population of students wanted to estimate the proportion of stude

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

60 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval of a proportion is given by:

$p\pm z*\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }$

Where 'p' is the proportion of students who responded 'yes', 'z' is the z-score for a 95% confidence interval (which is known to be 1.960), and 'n' is the number of students in the sample.

If the confidence interval is from 0.584 to 0.816, then:

$p=\frac{0.584+0.816}{2}=0.7 \\0.816-0.584=2*(1.96*\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}) \\0.116=1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.7*(1-0.7)}{n}}\\n=16.8966^2*(0.7*0.3)\\n=60\ students$
