Use the appropriate normal distribution to approximate the resulting binomial distributions. A convenience store owner claims th

at 55% of the people buying from her store, on a certain day of the week, buy coffee during their visit. A random sample of 35 customers is made. If the store owner's claim is correct, what is the probability that fewer than 24 customers in the sample buy coffee during their visit on that certain day of the week?

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 = \sqrt{npq} \\=2.943

Required probability = prob that fewer than 24 customers in the sample buy coffee during their visit on that certain day of the week

= P(X (after effecting continuity correction)

= 0.9256

This equation shows how the total number of quizzes Angie has ever taken in high school depends on the number of weeks she has a
zepelin [54]

Answer:

9 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that the "q" is the total number of quizzes, you can set the equation equal to 12, and solve for w.

12 = w + 3     Subtract 3 both sides

9 = w

A rabbit population doubles every 4 weeks.There are currently five rabbits in a restricted area. If t represents the time in wee
sertanlavr [38]
Doubling formula is this:

P(t)=P(2)^{\frac{t}{d}}
where P=initial number of rabbits
t=time
d=time it takes to doulbe

ok, so 4 weeks is the doubling time so that is 4*7=28 days

we wawnt time=98
and oroiginal number of rabbits is 5 so
P(98)=5(2)^{\frac{98}{28}}
P(98)=5(2)^{3.5}
P(98)=5(2^3)(\sqrt{2})
P(98)=5(8)\sqrt{2}
P(98)=40\sqrt{2}
so P(98)≈56.56
we can't have .56 rabbit so round down or up
about 56 or 57 rabbits in 98 days

Roy and Sam start solving the equation as follows.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

-3x+4=5x-6

According to the addition property of equality a=b and a+c=b+c are equivalent equations.

Use addition property of equality, add 3x on both the sides.

-3x+4+3x=5x-6+3x

4=8x-6

Therefore Sam's work is incorrect because he make calculation mistake.

According to the subtraction property of equality a=b and a-c=b-c are equivalent equations.

Use subtraction property of equality, subtract 5x from both the sides.

-3x+4-5x=5x-6-5x

-8x+4=-6

Therefore Roy's work is correct because he used subtraction property.

Option D is correct.
