Color-blindness is any abnormality of the color vision system that causes a person to see colors differently than most people or

to have difficulty distinguishing among certain colors (www.visionrx.xom).Color-blindness is gender-based, with the majority of sufferers being males.Roughly 8% of white males have some form of color-blindness, while the incidence among white females is only 1%.A random sample of 20 white males and 40 white females was chosen.Let X be the number of males (out of the 20) who are color-blind.Let Y be the number of females (out of the 40) who are color-blind.Let Z be the total number of color-blind individuals in the sample (males and females together).Which of the following is true regarding the random variables X and Y?a. Both X and Y can be well-approximated by normal random variables.b. Only X can be well-approximated by a normal random variable.c. Only Y can be well-approximated by a normal random variable.d. Neither X nor Y can be well-approximated by a normal random variable.e. The remaining questions refer to the following information:

Answer:

Correct option is (d): Neither X nor Y can be well-approximated by a normal random variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size of males having color-blindness is, n (X) = 20.

The sample size of females having color-blindness is, n (Y) = 40.

The proportion of males that suffer from color-blindness is, P (X) = 0.08.

The proportion of females that suffer from color-blindness is, P (Y) = 0.01.

Now both the random variables <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> follows a Binomial distribution,

X\sim Bin(20, 0.08)\\Y\sim Bin(40, 0.01)

A normal distribution is used to approximate the binomial distribution if the sample is large, i.e <em>n</em> ≥ 30 and the probability of success is very close to 0.50.

Also if <em>np</em> ≥ 10 and <em>n</em> (1 - <em>p</em>) ≥ 10, the binomial distribution can be approximated by the normal distribution.

<u>For the sample of men (X):</u>

np=20\times0.08=1.610

In this case neither <em>n</em> > 30 nor <em>p</em> is close to 0.50.

And <em>np</em> < 10.

Thus, the random variable <em>X</em> cannot be approximated by the normal distribution.

<u>For the sample of men (Y):</u>

np=40\times0.01=0.410

In this case <em>n</em> > 30 but <em>p</em> is not close to 0.50.

And <em>np</em> < 10.

Thus, the random variable <em>Y</em> cannot be approximated by the normal distribution.

Thus, both the random variables cannot be approximated by the normal distribution.

The correct option is (d).

10x +1 12x-5 solve for x
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 1 = 12x - 5

Subtract 1 from each side

10x = 12x - 6

Subtract 12x from each side

-2x = -6

Divided by -2

x = 3
