Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events

The given parameters are:

Sample size: n = 20
Proportion: p = 85%

<h3>(a) What is the probability that 11 out of the 20 would graduate? </h3>

Using the binomial probability formula, we have:

$P(X = x) = ^nC_x p^x(1 - p)^{n -x}$

So, the equation becomes

$P(x = 11) = ^{20}C_{11} \times (85\%)^{11} \times (1 - 85\%)^{20 -11}$

This gives

$P(x = 11) = 167960 \times (0.85)^{11} \times 0.15^{9}$

$P(x = 11) = 0.0011$

Express as percentage

$P(x = 11) = 0.11\%$

Hence, the probability that 11 out of the 20 would graduate is 0.11%

<h3>(b) To what extent do you think the university’s claim is true?</h3>

The probability 0.11% is less than 50%.

Hence, the extent that the university’s claim is true is very low

<h3>(c) What is the probability that all 20 would graduate? </h3>

Using the binomial probability formula, we have:

$P(X = x) = ^nC_x p^x(1 - p)^{n -x}$

So, the equation becomes

$P(x = 20) = ^{20}C_{20} \times (85\%)^{20} \times (1 - 85\%)^{20 -20}$

This gives

$P(x = 20) = 1 \times (0.85)^{20} \times (0.15\%)^0$

$P(x = 20) = 0.0388$

Express as percentage

$P(x = 20) = 3.88\%$

Hence, the probability that all 20 would graduate is 3.88%

<h3>(d) The mean and the standard deviation</h3>

The mean is calculated as:

$\mu = np$

So, we have:

$\mu = 20 \times 85\%$

$\mu = 17$

The standard deviation is calculated as:

$\sigma = np(1 - p)$

So, we have:

$\sigma = 20 \times 85\% \times (1 - 85\%)$

$\sigma = 20 \times 0.85 \times 0.15$

$\sigma = 2.55$

Hence, the mean and the standard deviation are 17 and 2.55, respectively.

The components of vector are ax and ay (both positive), and the angle that it makes with respect to the positive x axis is θ. Fi

Andru [333]

we can use formula

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{a_y}{a_x})$

(a)

we are given

$a_x=12,a_y=12$

now, we can plug values

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{12}{12})$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(1)$

$\theta=\frac{\pi}{4}rad$

(b)

we are given

$a_x=20,a_y=12$

now, we can plug values

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{12}{20})$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{3}{5})$

$\theta=30.96^{\circ \:}$

(c)

we are given

$a_x=12,a_y=20$

now, we can plug values

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{20}{12})$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{5}{3})$

$\theta=59.03^{\circ \:}$
