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.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:4 dozens of video games would cost $1956

Step-by-step explanation:

An electronic store prices 3 dozen video games at a total of 1467. A dozen of video games is 12. Therefore, the total number of video games whose cost is 1467 is 12 × 3 = 36

if each video game costs the same amount, then the cost of one video game would be

1467/36 = $40.75

The total number of video games in 4 dozens of video game would be

4 × 12 = 48

Therefore, the total cost of 48 video games would be

48 × 40.75 = $1956

The sum of two numbers is negative. The product of these two same numbers is also negative. What can you conclude about these tw
lara [203]

Answer:

5 and -8

Step-by-step explanation:

One number must be negative since the product of the 2 number is negative (5 x -8 = -40). They both cannot be negative, if they were the product would then be positive. The negative number must have a absolute value that is larger than the positive, the negative numbers distance from 0 must be larger than the positive, -8 has a distance of 8 and 5 has a distance of 5. The sum of the two numbers is

=5 + (-8)

=5 - 8  

= -3
