Brett golfs for the forestville knights high school team. When he practices his putting, he can make a 10-foot putt 80% of the t

ime. If Brett takes 200 putts for practice, what is the standard deviation of the number of putts he will make?

The formula to calculate standard deviation from probability is \sqrt(n*p*(1-p)). n is the sample size, and 200 in this case (number of putts for practice). p is 80% or 0.8, the probability that he can make it. So the standard deviation is \sqrt(200*0.8*(1-0.8)=\sqrt(200*0.8*0.2)=\sqrt(16)=4.

WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST PLEASE HELP!!!

neonofarm [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = y-10

Rewrite as: 2x + 10 = y

Therefore:

2x+10 = y

2x +7 = 2y

Subtract the equations:

2x + 10 = y

- 2x + 7 = 2y

______________

3 = -y

Therefore y = -3

Substiture y = -3 into the second equation:

2x + 7 = 2(-3)

2x + 7 = -6

2x = -13

x= -6.5

Answer : (-6.5, -3)

Jennifer feeds 5 times as many fish as Tony. Tony feeds 56 fish. how many fish,f,does Jennifer feed?

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Jennifer feeds total fishes is 280

Step-by-step explanation:

Tony feeds total fishes is 56

Jennifer feeds 5 times as many fish as Tony feeds

Jennifer $=$ 5 × Tony

$=$ 5 × 56

$=$ 280

Let X be the number of material anomalies occurring in a particular region of an aircraft gas-turbine disk. The article "Methodo

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

a) $P(X \leq 4) = 0.6289$

$P(X < 4) = 0.4335$

b) $P(4 \leq X \leq 8) = 0.5452$

c) $P(X \geq 8) = 0.0511$

d) 0.2605

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

It is important to know that the variance has the same value as the mean in a Poisson distribution. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 4, \sigma = \sqrt{4} = 2$ .

To help our solution, i am going to find each of P(X = x) from x = 0 to 8[/tex]

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-4}*4^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0183$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-4}*4^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0733$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-4}*4^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.1465$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-4}*4^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.1954$

$P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-4}*4^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.1954$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-4}*4^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.1563$

$P(X = 6) = \frac{e^{-4}*4^{6}}{(6)!} = 0.1042$

$P(X = 7) = \frac{e^{-4}*4^{7}}{(7)!} = 0.0595$

$P(X = 8) = \frac{e^{-4}*4^{8}}{(8)!} = 0.0298$

(a) Compute both P(X ≤ 4) and P(X < 4)

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0183 + 0.0733 + 0.1465 + 0.1954 + 0.1954 = 0.6289$

---------

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0183 + 0.0733 + 0.1465 + 0.1954 = 0.4335$

(b) Compute P(4 ≤ X ≤ 8).

$P(4 \leq X \leq 8) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) = 0.1954 + 0.1563 + 0.1042 + 0.0595 + 0.0298 = 0.5452$

(c) Compute P(8 ≤ X)

That is $P(X \geq 8)$ .

The sum of the probabilities must be 1 in decimal. Either X is greater or equal to 8, or X is lesser than 8.

So

$P(X < 8) + P(X \geq 8) = 1$

$P(X \geq 8) = 1 - P(X < 8)$

From what we have in a) and b)

$P(X < 8) = P(X < 4) + P(4 \leq X < 8) = 0.4335 + 0.1954 + 0.1563 + 0.1042 + 0.0595 = 0.9489$

So

$P(X \geq 8) = 1 - P(X < 8) = 1 - 0.9489 = 0.0511$

(d) What is the probability that the number of anomalies exceeds its mean value by no more than one standard deviation

One standard deviation is 2, and the mean is 4. So, this is:

$P(4 < X \leq 6) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.1563 + 0.1042 = 0.2605$
