We roll 3 dice and add the results. what is the probability that the total is NOT 18?

1 answer:

5 0

To answer this you need to find the probability that it is 18 first. The only way to get 18 is by rolling 3 6's. The probability of each 6 is 1/6. 1/6 * 1/6 * 1/6= 0.0046. That is the probability of rolling 3 die and getting 18. To get the actual answer, you just subtract that from 1
1-0.0046 equals 0.9954

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the proportion of the population which are on treatment is [0.3293 , 0.3607].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that during the 7th examination of the Offspring cohort in the Framing ham Heart Study, there were 1219 participants being treated for hypertension and 2,313 who were not on treatment.

The sample proportion is : $\hat p$ = x/n = 1219/3532 = 0.345

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the proportion of the population is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion = 0.345

n = sample of participants = 3532

p = population proportion

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion statistics.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level of

significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 1.96) = 0.95

P( $-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < ${\hat p-p}$ < $1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

P( $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < p < $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for p</u>= [ $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ , $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ]

= [ $0.345-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.345(1-0.345)}{3532} } }$ , $0.345+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.345(1-0.345)}{3532} } }$ ]
