In studies for a​ medication, 3 percent of patients gained weight as a side effect. Suppose 643 patients are randomly selected.

Use the normal approximation to the binomial to approximate the probability that
​(a) exactly 24 patients will gain weight as a side effect.
​(b) 24 or fewer patients will gain weight as a side effect.
​(c) 11 or more patients will gain weight as a side effect.
​(d) between 24 and 28​, ​inclusive, will gain weight as a side effect.

Part a)

It was given that 3% of patients gained weight as a side effect.

This means

p = 0.03

q = 1 - 0.03 = 0.97

The mean is

\mu  = np

\mu = 643 \times 0.03 = 19.29

The standard deviation is

\sigma =  \sqrt{npq}

\sigma =  \sqrt{643 \times 0.03 \times 0.97}

\sigma =4.33

We want to find the probability that exactly 24 patients will gain weight as side effect.

P(X=24)

We apply the Continuity Correction Factor(CCF)

P(24-0.5<X<24+0.5)=P(23.5<X<24.5)

We convert to z-scores.

P(23.5 \: < \: X \: < \: 24.5) = P( \frac{23.5 - 19.29}{4.33} \: < \: z \: < \:  \frac{24.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\  = P( 0.97\: < \: z \: < \:  1.20) \\  = 0.051

Part b) We want to find the probability that 24 or fewer patients will gain weight as a side effect.

P(X≤24)

We apply the continuity correction factor to get;

P(X<24+0.5)=P(X<24.5)

We convert to z-scores to get:

P(X \: < \: 24.5) = P(z \: < \:  \frac{24.5 - 19.29}{4.33} )  \\ =   P(z \: < \: 1.20)  \\  = 0.8849

Part c)

We want to find the probability that

11 or more patients will gain weight as a side effect.

P(X≥11)

Apply correction factor to get:

P(X>11-0.5)=P(X>10.5)

We convert to z-scores:

P(X \: > \: 10.5) = P(z \: > \:  \frac{10.5 - 19.29}{4.33} )  \\ = P(z \: > \:  - 2.03)

= 0.9788

Part d)

We want to find the probability that:

between 24 and 28, inclusive, will gain weight as a side effect.

P(24≤X≤28)=

P(23.5≤X≤28.5)

Convert to z-scores:

P(23.5  \:  <  \: X \:  <  \: 28.5) = P( \frac{23.5 - 19.29}{4.33}   \:  <  \: z \:  <  \:  \frac{28.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\  = P( 0.97\:  <  \: z \:  <  \: 2.13) \\  = 0.1494

Which parent function is represented by the graph?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

quadratic parent function

Step-by-step explanation:

squares cannot be negative no matter what you cannot square a number into a negative number which is why there are no negative y values because y is a function of X

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

12a. Addition = 7y⁵ + 7y³ – 6y – 5

12b. Subtraction = – y⁵ – 3y³ + 8y + 11

13a. Addition = 5x⁴ + x³ – 6x² + 8x + 17

13b. Subtraction = – x⁴ – 9x³ –6x² + 8x + 3

14a. Addition = – 2b⁴ + b³ – 11b² – 1

14b. Subtraction = 4b⁴ + 7b³ – b² + 8b – 1

15a. Addition = m⁵ + m⁴ + m³ + m²
