The answer to this equation is 27 because this is the highest number or the maximum value you can reach with this equation.

I hope this helps!!!!!!

"An ordinance requiring that a smoke detector be installed in all previously constructed houses has been in effect in a particul

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) Probability that the claim is rejected when the actual value of p is 0.8 = P(X ≤ 15) = 0.0173

b) Probability of not rejecting the claim when p = 0.7, P(X > 15) = 0.8106

when p = 0.6, P(X > 15) = 0.4246

c) Check Explanation

The error probabilities are evidently lower when 15 is replaced with 14 in the calculations.

Step-by-step explanation:

p is the true proportion of houses with smoke detectors and p = 0.80

The claim that 80% of houses have smoke detectors is rejected if in a sample of 25 houses, not more than 15 houses have smoke detectors.

If X is the number of homes with detectors among the 25 sampled

a) Probability that the claim is rejected when the actual value of p is 0.8 = P(X ≤ 15)

This is a binomial distribution problem

A binomial experiment is one in which the probability of success doesn't change with every run or number of trials (probability that each house has a detector is 0.80)

It usually consists of a number of runs/trials with only two possible outcomes, a success or a failure (we are sampling 25 houses with each of them either having or not having a detector)

The outcome of each trial/run of a binomial experiment is independent of one another.

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = 25 houses sampled

x = Number of successes required = less than or equal to 15

p = probability of success = probability that a house has smoke detectors = 0.80

q = probability of failure = probability that a house does NOT have smoke detectors = 1 - p = 1 - 0.80 = 0.20

P(X ≤ 15) = Sum of probabilities from P(X = 0) to P(X = 15) = 0.01733186954 = 0.01733

b) Probability of not rejecting the claim when p= 0.7 when p= 0.6

For us not to reject the claim, we need more than 15 houses with detectors, hence, th is probability = P(X > 15), but p = 0.7 and 0.6 respectively for this question.

n = total number of sample spaces = 25 houses sampled

x = Number of successes required = more than 15

p = probability that a house has smoke detectors = 0.70, then 0.60

q = probability of failure = probability that a house does NOT have smoke detectors = 1 - p = 1 - 0.70 = 0.30

And 1 - 0.60 = 0.40

P(X > 15) = sum of probabilities from P(X = 15) to P(X = 25)

When p = 0.70, P(X > 15) = 0.8105639765 = 0.8106

When p = 0.60, P(X > 15) = 0.42461701767 = 0.4246

c) How do the "error probabilities" of parts (a) and (b) change if the value 15 in the decision rule is replaced by 14.

The error probabilities include the probability of the claim being false.

When X = 15

(Error probability when p = 0.80) = 0.0173

when p = 0.70, error probability = P(X ≤ 15) = 1 - P(X > 15) = 1 - 0.8106 = 0.1894

when p = 0.60, error probability = 1 - 0.4246 = 0.5754

When X = 14

(Error probability when p = 0.80) = P(X ≤ 14) = 0.00555

when p = 0.70, error probability = P(X ≤ 14) = 0.0978

when p = 0.60, error probability = P(X ≤ 14) = 0.4142

The error probabilities are evidently lower when 15 is replaced with 14 in the calculations.

Hope this Helps!!!

the numbers of girls in the choir is 4 times the number of boys in the choir .the total number of students is 60..how many girls

Inessa05 [86]

First, make up some variables to represent the number of Girls and Boys in the choir.

B = number of boys
G = number of girls

You know that there are 4 times as many girls in the choir as boys. Therefore, the equation you can write is:
$\frac{B}{G} = \frac{1}{4}$

If you cross-multiply, then you get the simplified equation:
G = 4B

Intuitively this makes sense since if you multiplied the number of boys in the class by 4, that would be equal to the number of girls you have.

Now, we know that the total class size is 60. So girls plus boys equals 60:
G+B = 60

To solve the equation, replace the G in this equation with the replacement you found before, 4B.
G + B = 60 -->
4B + B = 60 -->
5B = 60 -->
B = 12

However, you are trying to find the number of girls, so plug the answer back into your equation.
G + B = 60 -->
G + 12 = 60 -->
G + 12 -12 = 60 - 12 -->
G = 48

The number of girls you have is 48.

What effect does 'h' have on the graph of a parabola?

Kipish [7]

The effect that 'h' have on the graph of a parabola is Horizontal shift or translation .

<h3>What is translation?</h3>

A translation is the movement of a shape up, down , this can also be movement from side to side.

Even though there is movement, its appearance remains the same in any other way, hence, h values cause left or right movement with respect to the graph.
