A research study uses 800 men under the age of 55. Suppose that 30% carry a marker on the male chromosome that indicates an incr

eased risk for high blood pressure. (a) If 10 men are selected randomly and tested for the marker, what is the probability that exactly 1 man has the marker? (b) If 10 men are selected randomly and tested for the marker, what is the probability that more than 1 has the marker?

Answer:

a) There is a 12.11% probability that exactly 1 man has the marker.

b) There is a 85.07% probability that more than 1 has the marker.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only two possible outcomes: Either the men has the chromosome, or he hasn't. So we use the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability

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}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

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

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

And \pi is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

30% carry a marker on the male chromosome that indicates an increased risk for high blood pressure, so \pi = 0.30

(a) If 10 men are selected randomly and tested for the marker, what is the probability that exactly 1 man has the marker?

10 men, so n = 10

We want to find P(X = 1). So:

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

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.30)^{1}.(0.7)^{9} = 0.1211

There is a 12.11% probability that exactly 1 man has the marker.

(b) If 10 men are selected randomly and tested for the marker, what is the probability that more than 1 has the marker?

That is P(X > 1)

We have that:

P(X \leq 1) + P(X > 1) = 1

P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1)

We also have that:

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.30)^{0}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.0282

So

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0282 + 0.1211 = 0.1493

Finally

P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1) = 1 - 0.1493 = 0.8507

There is a 85.07% probability that more than 1 has the marker.

A) A shopkeeper marks the price of an article R's. 550 and gives the customer discount of 10℅.In this way, he gains Rs 75 on the
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Marked Price =MP=550 Marked Price =MP=550

Selling Price=SP=550-10%=550-55=495Selling Price=SP=550-10%=550-55=495

The profit earned is , SP−Profit=CP(CostPrice)The profit earned is , SP−Profit=CP(CostPrice)

CP=495−75=420CP=495−75=420

The difference of MP and CP is 550−420=130The difference of MP and CP is 550−420=130

 The percentage of difference w.r.t CP is  The percentage of difference w.r.t CP is

Joe can weed the garden twice as fast as his sister Janet. Together they can weed the garden in 2 hours. How long would it take
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Joe: 3 hrs

Janet: 6hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

joe takes x hours

so in 1 hr he does 1/x of the garden

janet takes 2x hours

so in 1 hr she does 1/(2x) of the garden

In one hour together they do 1/2 of the garden

1/x + 1/(2x) = 1/2

2/(2x) + 1/(2x) = 1/2

3/(2x) = 1/2

Cross multiply

6 = 2x

x = 3

Joe: 3 hrs

Janet: 6hrs

The sum of two numbers is 50 and the difference is 4
juin [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 numbers be x and x + 4 as their deference is 4.

their sum = 50

now,

→ x + x + 4 = 50

→ 2x + 4 = 50

→ 2x = 50 - 4 = 46

→ x = 46/2 = 23

therefore two numbers are,

x = 23

x + 4 = 23 + 4 = 27

hope this answer helps you dear...take care and may u have a great day ahead!
