Carl is drawing blueprints for a new building. Although the building will be 40 feet (480 inches) tall, his drawing is only 10 i

nches tall. Assuming the drawing is to scale, what is the ratio of the building to the drawing

Answer:

48:1

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we know the actual size and the size in the drawing therefore we can calculate its scale.

What we must do is divide the actual size by the size in the drawing. We know the actual size is 480 inches and in the drawing the size is 10 inches, so:

480/10 = 48

Which means that the relationship between the real and the drawing is 48:1

According to a study done by Nick Wilson of Otago University Wellington, the probability a randomly selected individual will not
Lorico [155]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

From the question statement we get know that it is Binomial distribution because there are only two possible outcomes so we need to use Binomial Probability Distribution for this question.

Formula for the Binomial Probability Distribution:

P(X)=   p^x q^(n-x)

Where,

  • C_x^n=n!/(n-x)!x!   (i.e. combination)
  • x= total number of successes
  • p=probability of success (p=1-q)  
  • q=probability of failure (q=1-p)
  • n=number of trials
  • P(X)= probability of total number of successes

Answer and explanation for each part of the question are as follow:

a.What is the probability that among 10 randomly observed individuals exactly 4 do not cover their mouth when sneezing?

Solution:

Given that

n=10  

p=0.267 (because p is the probability of success which is “number of individuals not covering their mouths when sneezing” in the question)

q=1-0.267=0.733  

x=4 (number of successes i.e. individuals not covering their mouths)

C_x^n=n!/(n-x)!x!=10!/(10-4)!4!=210

P(X)=C_x^n   p^x q^(n-x)=210×〖(0.267)〗^4×〖0.733〗^(10-4)

P(X)=210×0.00508×0.155  

P(X)=0.165465  

b. What is the probability that among 10 randomly observed individuals fewer than 3 do not cover their mouth when sneezing?

Solution:

Given that

n=10  

p=0.267 (because p is the probability of success which is “number of individuals not covering their mouths when sneezing” in the question)

q=1-0.267=0.733  

x=3 (number of successes i.e. individuals not covering their mouths)

C_x^n=n!/(n-x)!x!=10!/(10-3)!3!=120

P(X)=C_x^n   p^x q^(n-x)=120×(0.267)^3×〖0.733〗^(10-3)

P(X)=120×0.01903×0.1136  

P(X)=0.25962  

c. Would you be surprised if, after observing 18 individuals, fewer than half covered their mouth when sneezing? why?

Solution:

Given that

n=18  

p=0.267 (because p is the probability of success which is “number of individuals not covering their mouths when sneezing” in the question)

q=1-0.267=0.733  

x=9 (x is the number of successes “number of individuals not covering their mouths when sneezing”, if less than half cover their mouth then more than half will not cover), so let x=9

C_x^n=n!/(n-x)!x!=18!/(18-9)!9!=48620

P(X)=48620×(0.267)^9×〖0.733〗^(18-9)  

P(X)=48620×0.00000689×0.0610  

P(X)=0.020  

Yes, I am surprised that probability of less than 9 individuals covering their mouth when sneezing is 0.020. Which is extremely is small.
