We learned in that about 69.7% of 18-20 year olds consumed alcoholic beverages in 2008. We now consider a random sample of fifty

maw [93]

Answer:

(1) The expected number of people who would have consumed alcoholic beverages is 34.9.

(2) The standard deviation of people who would have consumed alcoholic beverages is 10.56.

(3) It is surprising that there were 45 or more people who have consumed alcoholic beverages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of adults between 18 to 20 years consumed alcoholic beverages in 2008.

The probability of the random variable X is, p = 0.697.

A random sample of n = 50 adults in the age group 18 - 20 years is selected.

An adult, in the age group 18 - 20 years, consuming alcohol is independent of the others.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 50 and p = 0.697.

The probability mass function of a Binomial random variable X is:

$P(X=x)={50\choose x}0.697^{x}(1-0.697)^{50-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...$

(1)

Compute the expected value of X as follows:

$E(X)=np\\=50\times 0.697\\=34.85\\\approx34.9$

Thus, the expected number of people who would have consumed alcoholic beverages is 34.9.

(2)

Compute the standard deviation of X as follows:

$SD(X)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{50\times 0.697\times (1-0.697)}=10.55955\approx10.56$

Thus, the standard deviation of people who would have consumed alcoholic beverages is 10.56.

(3)

Compute the probability of X ≥ 45 as follows:

P (X ≥ 45) = P (X = 45) + P (X = 46) + ... + P (X = 50)

$=\sum\limits^{50}_{x=45} {50\choose x}0.697^{x}(1-0.697)^{50-x}\\=0.0005+0.0001+0.00002+0.000003+0+0\\=0.000623\\\approx0.0006$

The probability that 45 or more have consumed alcoholic beverages is 0.0006.

An unusual or surprising event is an event that has a very low probability of success, i.e. p < 0.05.

The probability of 45 or more have consumed alcoholic beverages is 0.0006. This probability value is very small.

Thus, it is surprising that there were 45 or more people who have consumed alcoholic beverages.

Your cousin renews his apartment lease and pays a new monthly rent. His new rent is calculated by applying a discount of $50 to

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

$1100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rent be x

Discounted rent

x - $50

Increase applied

Final rent:

(x - 50) + 10% = (x - 50)*1.1

We know this is equal to x + 5% = 1.05x, comparing now

1.1(x - 50) = 1.05x
1.1x - 1.05x = 55
0.05x = 55
x = 55/0.05
x = $1100

Kenny has a 1/3 probability of getting a hit and a 1/6 probability of drawing a base-on-balls every time he appears at the plate

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

He expects that his bonus will be $210,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each plate appearence, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he gets on base(base hit or bases-on-balls), or he does not. The probability of getting on base on each plate appearence is independent of other plate appearences. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

600 plate appearances this year

So n = 600.

Expected number of hits

$p = \frac{1}{3}$

$E(X) = np = 600\frac{1}{3} = 200$

Expected number of base on balls.

$p = \frac{1}{6}$

$E(X) = np = 600\frac{1}{6} = 100$

Bonus

$1,000 for each hit and $100 for each base-on-balls he gets.

200*1,000 + 100*100 = 210,000

He expects that his bonus will be $210,000.

I need help again please help me with this question

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The size of a sundae and the amount of calories it contains.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer choice is the only one with a positive correlation, because it is the only one that isn't depleting or going down in size. No matter if you eat the sundae or what size it becomes, the calories it contains will still be the same for the whole amount.

When a car travels, gas is used and it depletes. As a snowball does when it melts. And "the temperature on Tuesday" has no correlation involved at all
