Answer:

a) 0.3921 = 39.21% probability that fewer than 14 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

b) 0.107 = 10.7% probability that at least 17 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each women, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they visit their doctors for a physical examination at least once in two years, or they do not. The probability of a woman visiting their doctor at least once in this period is independent of any other women. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

70% of adult women visit their doctors for a physical examination at least once in two years.

This means that $p = 0.7$

20 adult women

This means that $n = 20$

(a) Fewer than 14 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

This is:

$P(X < 14) = 1 - P(X \geq 14)$

In which

$P(X \geq 14) = P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 14) = C_{20,14}.(0.7)^{14}.(0.3)^{6} = 0.1916$

$P(X = 15) = C_{20,15}.(0.7)^{15}.(0.3)^{5} = 0.1789$

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.7)^{16}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.1304$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,14}.(0.7)^{17}.(0.3)^{3} = 0.0716$

$P(X = 18) = C_{20,18}.(0.7)^{18}.(0.3)^{2} = 0.0278$

$P(X = 19) = C_{20,19}.(0.7)^{19}.(0.3)^{1} = 0.0068$

$P(X = 20) = C_{20,20}.(0.7)^{20}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.0008$

So

$P(X \geq 14) = P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.1916 + 0.1789 + 0.1304 + 0.0716 + 0.0278 + 0.0068 + 0.0008 = 0.6079$

$P(X < 14) = 1 - P(X \geq 14) = 1 - 0.6079 = 0.3921$

0.3921 = 39.21% probability that fewer than 14 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

(b) At least 17 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years

$P(X \geq 17) = P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

From the values found in item (a).

$P(X \geq 17) = P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.0716 + 0.0278 + 0.0068 + 0.0008 = 0.107$

0.107 = 10.7% probability that at least 17 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

the five members of the traynor family each buy train tickets during the train ride each family member buys a box one for $6.50

NeX [460]

Answer:

$43.20

Step-by-step explanation:

If each family member buys one ticket and one lunch, then for ticket price t we have the total expenditure as ...

5(t +6.50) = 248.50

t +6.50 = 49.70 . . . . . divide by 5

t = 43.20 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6.50

The price of each train ticket is $43.20.

Ahat costs $25. Tax is 8%. How much is the lax on the hot? O $20 $17 $0 20 $2 NEXT QUESTION ASK TORTILLP

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

$2

Step-by-step explanation:

To use a percent you must change it to a decimal.

8% is .08

To find 8% of 25, we use multiplication.

.08 × 25

= 2

In case you cannot use a calculator or you want to be very quick about this, or just do a simple check... you can actually reverse the number (money, amount, etc) and the percent.

25% of 8 is not bad for doing mental math. 25% is a quarter, or 1/4 of 8 which again is 2.
