A rare mutation only occurs in 1 in every 2048 generations of fruit flies. We can assume that whether or not the mutation occurs

is independent of previous generations. (a) Calculate the probability of seeing this mutation at least once in 50 generations. (b) Calculate the probability of seeing this mutation at least once in 3000 generations. (c) Compare the calculation in parts (a) and (b) to the approximation 1 â exp(ânp).

Answer:

(A) 0.0244

(B) 1 (not 1.47 as is calculated) since probability values are between 0 and 1; 0 and 1 inclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

The rare mutation only occurs in 1 generation, out of every 2048 generations. This implies that the next occurrence will fall in or within the next 2048 generations (2 generations in 4096 generations, will have the rare mutation).

(A) The probability of occurrence of this mutation at least once (at most infinity) in 50 generations of fruit flies will surely be less than, as 50 is less than 2048.

The accurate probability is gotten when 50 is divided by 2048

50÷2048 = 0.0244

(B) The probability of seeing this mutation at least once (at most infinity) in 3000 generations would have been 1.47 but for 3 reasons;

- The full question already tells that the mutation will occur once in every 2048 generations and 3000 is greater than 2048, hence there will be a sure occurrence within 3000 generations.

- Question (b) asks you to calculate the probability of seeing this mutation at least once in 3000 generations so, the probability is 1 (representing full probability).

- In probability theory or statistics, all probability values fall within 0 and 1; with 0 representing no occurrence at all and 1 representing full occurrence.

How many 30 are there in 600
strojnjashka [21]
The question that is asked is pretty straight forward. Only thing that needs to be found is the number of 30 in the number 600. By dividing 600 by 30 we can arrive at the desired result.
Number of 30 in 600 = 600/30
                                 = 60/3
                                 = 20
So there are 20 number of 30s in the number 600. This method can be used to find answers to several other similar kind of questions like the number of 10s in 1000.Following the same procedure we get
Number of 10 in 1000 = 1000/10
                                   = 100

A blueprint shows the mater bedroom to be 5 inches long and 3 inches wide. The scale on the blueprint is 2 in : 11 ft. What is t
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

453.75 sq. feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are going to calculate the area of a room given the blue print measurement and the actual measurements with the answer being in the actual measurement.

To correctly do this, it is best if the measurements are converted to the actual.

The measurements we’ll be trying to convert is 5 inches by 3 inches with a scale of 2in to 11ft ( same as 1 in to 5.5 ft)

The 5 inches blueprint measurement will be 5 * 5.5 = 27.5 ft

The 3 inches blueprint measurement will be 3 * 5.5 = 16.5 ft

The area in sq. feet will be length * width = 27.5 * 16.5 = 453.75 sq feet

mina [271]

Answer:

It is C. 233 because if you multiply 5x5x5 thats 125
