Answer:
0.9256
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a convenience store owner claims that 55% of the people buying from her store, on a certain day of the week, buy coffee during their visit
Let X be the number of customers who buy from her store, on a certain day of the week, buy coffee during their visit
X is Binomial (35, 0.55)
since each customer is independent of the other and there are two outcomes.
By approximation to normal we find that both np and nq are >5.
So X can be approximated to normal with mean = np = 19.25
and std dev =
Required probability = prob that fewer than 24 customers in the sample buy coffee during their visit on that certain day of the week
= (after effecting continuity correction)
= 0.9256

Answer:
There is an 84.97% probability that at least six wear glasses.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each adult over 50, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they wear glasses, or they do not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
In this problem we have that:
What is the probability that at least six wear glasses?
There is an 84.97% probability that at least six wear glasses.
Answer:
58.1 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of each support rod can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. The geometry can be modeled by a right triangle, such that the distance from centre is one leg and half the length of the rod is the other leg of a triangle with hypotenuse equal to the radius of the grill.
__
<h3>Pythagorean theorem</h3>The theorem tells us that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is the square of the hypotenuse. For legs a, b and hypotenuse c, this is ...
c² = a² +b²
<h3>application</h3>For the geometry of the grill, we can define a=7.5 and c=30. Then b will be half the length of the support rod.
30² = 7.5 +b²
b² = 900 -56.25 = 843.75
b = √843.75 ≈ 29.0473
The length of each support rod is twice this value, so ...
rod length = 2b = 2(29.0473) = 58.0947
Each support rod is about 58.1 cm long.
