After a year the population will be 98.6% (100% - 1.4%) 98.6% as a decimal is 0.986 ... so after 1 year it will be: <span>

3800 x 0.986 

after 2 years it will be: 

3800 x 0.986 x 0.986... 

after 3 years: 3800 x (0.986)^3 

<span>in 2018. And after 4 years it will be 3800 x (0.986)^4 = which is 3591.62724 or 3592</span></span>

According to government data, 20% of employed women have never been married. If 10 employed women are selected at random, what i
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

a) P(X=2) = (10C2) (0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{10-2}= 0.302

b) P(X\leq 2) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) +P(X=2)

P(X=0) = (10C0) (0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{10-0}= 0.107

P(X=1) = (10C1) (0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{10-1}= 0.268

P(X=2) = (10C2) (0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{10-2}= 0.302

And replacing we got:

P(X\leq 2) = 0.107+0.268+0.302=0.678

c) For this case we want this probability:

P(X\geq 8) = P(X=8) + P(X=9) +P(X=10)

But for this case the probability of success is p =1-0.2= 0.8

We can find the individual probabilities and we got:

P(X=8) = (10C8) (0.8)^8 (1-0.8)^{10-8} =0.302

P(X=9) = (10C9) (0.8)^9 (1-0.8)^{10-9} =0.268

P(X=10) = (10C10) (0.8)^{10} (1-0.8)^{10-10} =0.107

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 8) = 0.677

And replacing we got:

P(X\geq 8)=0.0000779

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".  

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:  

X \sim Bin (n=10 ,p=0.2)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable "number of women that have never been married" , on this case we now that the distribution of the random variable is:  

X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.2)  

Part a

We want to find this probability:

P(X=2)

And using the probability mass function we got:

P(X=2) = (10C2) (0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{10-2}= 0.302

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(X\leq 2) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) +P(X=2)

We can find the individual probabilities and we got:

P(X=0) = (10C0) (0.2)^0 (1-0.2)^{10-0}= 0.107

P(X=1) = (10C1) (0.2)^1 (1-0.2)^{10-1}= 0.268

P(X=2) = (10C2) (0.2)^2 (1-0.2)^{10-2}= 0.302

And replacing we got:

P(X\leq 2) = 0.107+0.268+0.302=0.678

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

P(X\geq 8) = P(X=8) + P(X=9) +P(X=10)

But for this case the probability of success is p =1-0.2= 0.8

We can find the individual probabilities and we got:

P(X=8) = (10C8) (0.8)^8 (1-0.8)^{10-8} =0.302

P(X=9) = (10C9) (0.8)^9 (1-0.8)^{10-9} =0.268

P(X=10) = (10C10) (0.8)^{10} (1-0.8)^{10-10} =0.107

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 8) = 0.677

A typical middle-income household in 1980 earned $34,757. A similar household in 2009 earned $38,550. What was the relative incr
S_A_V [24]

Given conditions are :

In 1980's, a typical middle-income household earned=  $34,757

In 2009, a similar middle-income household earned= $38,550

And we have to find relative increase in income for these households from 1980 to 2009.

So first we will find the total increase in amounts.

38550-34757=3793

Relative increase = \frac{3793}{34757}*100

= 10.91% or rounding it off we get approx 11%.

Hence, the answer is 11%.

If a denotes some​ event, what does upper a overbara ​denote? if ​p(a)equals=0.9930.993​, what is the value of ​p(upper a overba
masya89 [10]
P(A) = 0.993 is the probability of event A
    _
P(A) is the probability of not A (note that I am trying to place a bar over A. I hope you can see it, else it is because the editor did not show it as I intended)

Then, use the fact that the probability of A plus the probability not A is equal to 1:
                    _
=> P(A) + P(A) = 1
         _
=> P(A) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.993 = 0.007

So, the answers are:
        _
1) P(A) = 0.07
             _
2) Yes, A is unlikely because its probability is very low.
