Given that West Virginia has one of the highest divorce rates in the nation with an annual rate of approximately 5 divorces per 1000 people (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, January 12, 2012). The Marital Counseling Center, Inc. (MCC) thinks that the high divorce rate in the state may require them to hire additional staff. Working with a consultant, the management of MCC has developed the following probability distribution for x = the number of new clients for marriage counseling for the next year.

\begin{tabular}
{|c|c|}
x&f(x)\\[1ex]
10&0.05\\
20&0.10\\
30&0.10\\
40&0.20\\
50&0.35\\
60&0.20
\end{tabular}

Part A:

Is this probability distribution valid?

The sum of f(x) = 0.05 + 0.10 + 0.10 + 0.20 + 0.35 + 0.20 = 1

Since 0 ≤ f(x) ≤ 1, thus the distribution is a valid probability distribution.



Part B:

What is the probability MCC will obtain more than 30 new clients (to 2 decimals)?

The probability that the MCC will obtain more than 30 new clients is given by

P(x\ \textgreater \ 30)=P(40)+P(50)+P(60)=0.20+0.35+0.20=0.75



Part C:

What is the probability MCC will obtain fewer than 20 new clients(to 2 decimals)?

The probability that MCC will obtain fewer than 20 new clients is given by

P(x\ \textless \ 20)=P(10)=0.05



Part D

Compute the expected value

The expected value is given by

\Sigma xf(x)=10(0.05)+20(0.1)+30(0.1)+40(0.2)+50(0.35)+60(0.2) \\  \\ =0.5+2+3+8+17.5+12=43



Part 5:

The variance is given by

Var(x)=\Sigma(x-E(x))^2f(x) \\  \\ =(10-43)^2(0.05)+(20-43)^2(0.1)+(30-43)^2(0.1)+(40-43)^2(0.2) \\ +(50-43)^2(0.35)+(60-43)^2(0.2) \\  \\ =(-33)^2(0.05)+(-23)^2(0.1)+(-13)^2(0.1)+(-3)^2(0.2)+(7)^2(0.35) \\ +(17)^2(0.2) \\  \\ =1089(0.05)+529(0.1)+169(0.1)+9(0.2)+49(0.35)+289(0.2) \\  \\ =54.45+52.9+16.9+1.8+17.15+57.8=201

Ian picked 5 times as many berries as Michelle.Joe picked 7 times as many berries Michelle.Together they picked 208 berries.How
Rasek [7]
Michelle: x
Ian: 5x
Joe: 7x
Michelle + Ian + Joe = 208 berries
x + 5x + 7x = 208
Combine like terms: 13x = 208
Divide both sides by 13: x = 16
Joe = 7x = 7*16=112
Joe picked 112 berries

3. Suppose the mystery bag had resulted in the following number of red chips. Using the simulated sampling distributions found e
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

a) 0.172

b) 0.167

c) 0.1404

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error, E = 2\times\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

here,

p = probability of the event

n = sample size

a) n = 30

p = 10 ÷ 30 = 0.333

Therefore,

E = 2\times\sqrt{\frac{0.333(1-0.333)}{30}}

= 2 × 0.0861

= 0.172

b)  n = 30

p = 21 ÷ 30 = 0.7

Therefore,

E = 2\times\sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{30}}

= 2 × 0.0836

= 0.167

c) n = 30

p = 22 ÷ 50 = 0.44

Therefore,

E = 2\times\sqrt{\frac{0.44(1-0.44)}{50}}

= 2 × 0.0702

= 0.1404

7. Isosceles triangle ABC is shown below with legs that measure 8 inches and a vertex angle of 50D. (a) Determine the area of AB
Flura [38]

Answer:

<h2>The area of the triangle ABC is 32 square inches.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the given triangle is a right-isosceles triangle, which means its leg are equal.

The area of a triangle is defined as

A=\frac{1}{2}bh

Where b=8 and h=8. Replacing values, we have

A=\frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 8 = 32 \ in^{2}

Therefore, the area of the triangle ABC is 32 square inches.
