Answer:

Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To set up the probability that fewer than half of 16 cover their mouth while sneezing.

It will be modelled as a binomial distribution problem

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = number of people observed = 16

x = Number of successes required = less than 8

p = probability of success = probability that one covers his/her nose = 1 - 0.267 = 0.733

q = probability of failure = probability that one doesn't cover his/her nose = 0.267

So, probability of less than 8 people covering their nose is P(X < 8)

And it is given mathematically as a sum of probabilities from 0 person covering his/her nose to 7 people covering their nose

P(X < 8) = Σ ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ (summing from x = 0 to x = 7 with n constant at 16)

P(X < 8) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5) + P(X=6) + P(X=7)

P(X < 8) = 0.0 + 0.0 + 0.0 + 0.00000772941 + 0.000068964 + 0.0004543875 + 0.00228697031 + 0.00896923079

P(X < 8) = 0.0117872825 = 0.0118 as given in the question.

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the equation

y = kx

k = y/x

where k is the proportionality constant

so,

First ratio can be calculated as

Miles = 45

Hours = 3/4

The ratio = 45 / (3/4)

                = (45 × 4) / 3

                = 180/3

                = 60

Thus, the proportionality constant = 60

Thus, the remaining ratios can be calculated as:

The Pair (135, Hours)

135/Hours = 60

Hours = 135 / 60

           = 27/12

           = 9/4

           = 2.25

Thus, the pair is (135, 2.25)

The Pair (Miles, 3)

Miles/3 = 60

Miles = 60×3

         = 180

The Pair (90, Hours)

90/Hours = 60

Hours = 90 / 60

          = 3/2

          = 1.5

Thus, the complete table:

Miles           45           135           180             90

Hours           3/4          9/4           3                 3/2

Verification:

Miles / Hour =  45/(3/4) = 60

Miles / Hour = 135 / 2.25 =  60

Miles / Hour = 180 / 3 = 60

Miles / Hour  = 90 / 1.5 =  60

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

y=19

Step-by-step explanation:

3(y - 9) = 30

3y - 27 = 30

       3y = 30 + 27

       3y = 57

         y = 19
