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

Find the value of the trigonometric ratio, sin C.
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The answer is option C

Step-by-step explanation:

sin C = opposite / hypotenuse

the opposite is 40

the Hypotenuse is 50

so

sin C = 40/50 = 4/5

Hope this helps you

What’s Distribute -x(5x+2)
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

-5x^2-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

When distributing, you multiply the term outside the brackets to all the terms in brackets.

If the term outside the bracket is negative, then when distributing/opening the brackets, the signs of the terms changes.

So in this prob. -x would multiply to both +5x and +2

-x*5x+-x*2

∴-5x^2-2x

Strain-displacement relationship) Consider a unit cube of a solid occupying the region 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1, 0 ≤ z ≤ 1 After loa
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

please see answers are as in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

As from the data of complete question,

0\leq x\leq 1\\0\leq y\leq 1\\0\leq z\leq 1\\u= \alpha x\\v=\beta y\\w=0

The question also has 3 parts given as

<em>Part a: Sketch the deformed shape for α=0.03, β=-0.01 .</em>

Solution

As w is 0 so the deflection is only in the x and y plane and thus can be sketched in xy plane.

the new points are calculated as follows

Point A(x=0,y=0)

Point A'(x+<em>α</em><em>x,y+</em><em>β</em><em>y) </em>

Point A'(0+<em>(0.03)</em><em>(0),0+</em><em>(-0.01)</em><em>(0))</em>

Point A'(0<em>,0)</em>

Point B(x=1,y=0)

Point B'(x+<em>α</em><em>x,y+</em><em>β</em><em>y) </em>

Point B'(1+<em>(0.03)</em><em>(1),0+</em><em>(-0.01)</em><em>(0))</em>

Point <em>B</em>'(1.03<em>,0)</em>

Point C(x=1,y=1)

Point C'(x+<em>α</em><em>x,y+</em><em>β</em><em>y) </em>

Point C'(1+<em>(0.03)</em><em>(1),1+</em><em>(-0.01)</em><em>(1))</em>

Point <em>C</em>'(1.03<em>,0.99)</em>

Point D(x=0,y=1)

Point D'(x+<em>α</em><em>x,y+</em><em>β</em><em>y) </em>

Point D'(0+<em>(0.03)</em><em>(0),1+</em><em>(-0.01)</em><em>(1))</em>

Point <em>D</em>'(0<em>,0.99)</em>

So the new points are A'(0,0), B'(1.03,0), C'(1.03,0.99) and D'(0,0.99)

The plot is attached with the solution.

<em>Part b: Calculate the six strain components.</em>

Solution

Normal Strain Components

                             \epsilon_{xx}=\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial (\alpha x)}{\partial x}=\alpha =0.03\\\epsilon_{yy}=\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial ( \beta y)}{\partial y}=\beta =-0.01\\\epsilon_{zz}=\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=\frac{\partial (0)}{\partial z}=0\\

Shear Strain Components

                             \gamma_{xy}=\gamma_{yx}=\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial v}{\partial x}=0\\\gamma_{xz}=\gamma_{zx}=\frac{\partial u}{\partial z}+\frac{\partial w}{\partial x}=0\\\gamma_{yz}=\gamma_{zy}=\frac{\partial w}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial v}{\partial z}=0

Part c: <em>Find the volume change</em>

<em></em>\Delta V=(1.03 \times 0.99 \times 1)-(1 \times 1 \times 1)\\\Delta V=(1.0197)-(1)\\\Delta V=0.0197\\<em></em>

<em>Also the change in volume is 0.0197</em>

For the unit cube, the change in terms of strains is given as

             \Delta V={V_0}[(1+\epsilon_{xx})]\times[(1+\epsilon_{yy})]\times [(1+\epsilon_{zz})]-[1 \times 1 \times 1]\\\Delta V={V_0}[1+\epsilon_{xx}+\epsilon_{yy}+\epsilon_{zz}+\epsilon_{xx}\epsilon_{yy}+\epsilon_{xx}\epsilon_{zz}+\epsilon_{yy}\epsilon_{zz}+\epsilon_{xx}\epsilon_{yy}\epsilon_{zz}-1]\\\Delta V={V_0}[\epsilon_{xx}+\epsilon_{yy}+\epsilon_{zz}]\\

As the strain values are small second and higher order values are ignored so

                                      \Delta V\approx {V_0}[\epsilon_{xx}+\epsilon_{yy}+\epsilon_{zz}]\\ \Delta V\approx [\epsilon_{xx}+\epsilon_{yy}+\epsilon_{zz}]\\

As the initial volume of cube is unitary so this result can be proved.
