The letter​ "t" makes up an estimated 10​% of a certain language. Assume this is still correct. A random sample of 500 letters i

s taken from a randomly​ selected, large book and the​ t's are counted. Find the approximate probability that the random sample of 500 letters will contain 9.1​% or fewer​ t's.

Answer:

  0.2755

Step-by-step explanation:

We intend to make use of the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.

First we'll check to see if that approximation is applicable.

For p=10% and sample size n = 500, we have ...

  pn = 0.10(500) = 50

This value is greater than 5, so the approximation is valid.

__

The mean of the distribution we'll use as a model is ...

  µ = p·n = 0.10(500)

  µ = 50

The standard deviation for our model is ...

  σ = √((1-p)µ) = √(0.9·50) = √45

  σ ≈ 6.708204

__

A continuity correction can be applied to better approximate the binomial distribution. We want p(t ≤ 9.1%) = p(t ≤ 45.5). For our lookup, we will add 0.5 to this limit, and find p(t ≤ 46).

The attached calculator shows the probability of fewer than 45.5 t's in the sample is about 0.2755.

Solve for x in the equation x² - 4x - 9 = 29.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer: First option.


Step-by-step explanation:

 1. To solve this problem you can applly the quadratic formula, which is shown below:

 x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

2. The quadratic  equation is:

x^{2}-4x-9-29=0\\x^{2}-4x-38=0

3. Then:

a=1

b=-4

c=-38

4. Therefore, when you substitute these values into the quadratic formula, you obtain the following result:

x=\frac{-(-4)+/-\sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(1)(-38)}}{2(1)}

x=2±√42

Terri played 70 tournament chess games during the school year and won 49 of them. What is her win-to-loss ratio?
Scilla [17]

Alright so the answer would be letter B, because

win-to-loss

49 to 21 (You can determine her losses by subtracted the number of wins from her total number of games played)

Now you must simplify your answer

7 is the greatest common factor (GCF) of both 49 and 21

Now divide both 49 and 21 by 7 to get

7 to 3

The prices of consumer goods do not always exactly follow the CPI. The following chart shows several consumer items, along with
zloy xaker [14]

The reasonable estimate of the current customer price index is 195. The option B is the correct option.

<h3>Customer price index</h3>

Customer price index is the price index which measures the weight average of price of basket of customers goods or services.

It can be given as,

\rm CPI_t=\dfrac{C_t}{C_0}\times 100

Here \rm C_t is the cost of market basket in current period and \rm C_0 is the cost of market basket in the base period.

Cost of market basket in current period is

\rm C_t=15.66+119.75+23.99+37.50\\\\C_t=196.9

Cost of market basket in 1983 is,

\rm C_0=8.85+71.25+13.95+22.7\\\\C_0=116.8

Substitute all the values in the formula

\rm CPI_t=\dfrac{C_t}{C_0}\times 100\\\\\rm CPI_t=\dfrac{196.9}{116.8}\times 100\\\\\rm CPI_t=1.685\times 100 \\\\ CPI_t=168.5\\\\\rm CPI_t= 170 \ \rm approx

Thus the value of current CPI is 168.5 which is near about the 170.

Hence, the reasonable estimate of the current customer price index is 195. The option B is the correct option.
