Answer:

5.80% probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each resume received by the corporation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are from a female, or they are not. The probability of a resume received being from a female is independent from other resumes. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

22% of all resumes received by a corporation for a management position are from females.

This means that p = 0.22

18 resumes will be received tomorrow.

This means that n = 18

What is the probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females?

This is P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{18,1}.(0.22)^{1}.(0.78)^{17} = 0.0580

5.80% probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females.

Write an absolute value function that shifted 2<br> units right.<br><br> HELPPPP
iVinArrow [24]

Answer: (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the original function is y=\left | x \right |

To shift it 2 units right, replace x by x-2 such that

\Rightarrow x-2=0\\\Rightarrow x=2

So, the function becomes y=\left | x -2\right |

That's an expression, so the only thing you can do is simplify it, but that already looks simplified.

A marketing researcher wants to find a 96% confidence interval for the mean amount those visitors spend per person per day while
ki77a [65]

Answer:

n=(\frac{2.054(12)}{4})^2 =37.97 \approx 38

So then the minimum sample to ensure the condition given is n= 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=12 represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

ME = 4 the margin of error desired

Solution to the problem

When we create a confidence interval for the mean the margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =4 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

The critical value for 96% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. The significance is \alpha=1-0.96 =0.04. And in excel we can use this formula to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.02;0;1)", and we got z_{\alpha/2}=2.054, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{2.054(12)}{4})^2 =37.97 \approx 38

So then the minimum sample to ensure the condition given is n= 38
