A university found that 20% of its students withdraw without completing the introductory statistics course. Assume that 20 stude

nts registered for the course. Compute the probability that 2 or fewer will withdraw (to 4 decimals). Compute the probability that exactly 4 will withdraw (to 4 decimals). Compute the probability that more than 3 will withdraw (to 4 decimals). Compute the expected number of withdrawals.

Answer:

a) P(X \leq 2)= P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

P(X=0)=(20C0)(0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{20-0}=0.0115  

P(X=1)=(20C1)(0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{20-1}=0.0576  

P(X=2)=(20C2)(0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{20-2}=0.1369  

And adding we got:

P(X \leq 2)=0.0115+0.0576+0.1369 = 0.2061

b) P(X=4)=(20C4)(0.2)^4 (1-0.2)^{20-4}=0.2182  

c) P(X>3) = 1-P(X \leq 3) = 1- [P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)]

P(X=0)=(20C0)(0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{20-0}=0.0115  

P(X=1)=(20C1)(0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{20-1}=0.0576  

P(X=2)=(20C2)(0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{20-2}=0.1369

P(X=3)=(20C3)(0.2)^3 (1-0.2)^{20-3}=0.2054

And replacing we got:

P(X>3) = 1-[0.0115+0.0576+0.1369+0.2054]= 1-0.4114= 0.5886

d) E(X) = 20*0.2= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".  

Solution to the problem  

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:  

X \sim Binom(n=20, p=0.2)  

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

Part a

We want this probability:

P(X \leq 2)= P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

P(X=0)=(20C0)(0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{20-0}=0.0115  

P(X=1)=(20C1)(0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{20-1}=0.0576  

P(X=2)=(20C2)(0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{20-2}=0.1369  

And adding we got:

P(X \leq 2)=0.0115+0.0576+0.1369 = 0.2061

Part b

We want this probability:

P(X=4)

And using the probability mass function we got:

P(X=4)=(20C4)(0.2)^4 (1-0.2)^{20-4}=0.2182  

Part c

We want this probability:

P(X>3)

We can use the complement rule and we got:

P(X>3) = 1-P(X \leq 3) = 1- [P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)]

P(X=0)=(20C0)(0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{20-0}=0.0115  

P(X=1)=(20C1)(0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{20-1}=0.0576  

P(X=2)=(20C2)(0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{20-2}=0.1369

P(X=3)=(20C3)(0.2)^3 (1-0.2)^{20-3}=0.2054

And replacing we got:

P(X>3) = 1-[0.0115+0.0576+0.1369+0.2054]= 1-0.4114= 0.5886

Part d

The expected value is given by:

E(X) = np

And replacing we got:

E(X) = 20*0.2= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A. part 1: $1.49 for 6 pencils

1 pencil would cost $1.49 / 6 = $0.24833(5s.f.) = $0.25 (nearest cent)

part 2: $4.60 for 20 pencils

1 pencil would cost $4.60 / 20 = $0.23

best value: part 2 (20pencil pack)

Oscar says to Vanesa: "I am five times the age you were when I was the age you are; and when you are the age I am, our ages will
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Vanessa is 60 and the other person is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

X + 5x = 72

6x = 72

x = 12

12 x 5 = 60

vanessa is 60

the other person is 12

60 + 12 = 72

The image of the point (-6, -2)under a translation is (−7,0). Find the coordinates of the image of the point (7,0) under the sam
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

hello :  solutio  ( 6 ; 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

the translation is :    x' = x + a ....(*)

                                 y' = y + b ...(**)

calculate  the coordinates ( a ; b)  of vectro by the translation

you have : x' = -7    y' = 0     x = -6    y = -2

Substitute in (*) , (***) :   -7 = -6 +a

                                      0 = - 2 + b

a = -1   and b= 2

so :  x' = x - 1

      y' = y + 2

calculate now the coordinates of the image of the point (7,0) under the same translation.

x = 7  and b = 0

so : x' = 7-1 = 6   and y' = 0 + 2 = 2

the image is  : ( 6 ; 2 )
