He ate 8/15 of a pound of the cookies.

If we are looking for 4/5 of something, we just multiply the amount by 4/5.

To multiply fractions, just multiply straight across.

2 x 4 = 8 in the numerator
3 x 5 = 15 in the denominator

A true-false quiz with 10 questions was given to a statistics class. Following is the probability distribution for the score of
disa [49]

Answer:

E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)  

And if we use the values obtained we got:  

E(X)=5*0.05 +6*0.15 +7*0.33 +8*0.28+ 9*0.12 +10*0.07=7.48  

For this case this value means that the expected score is about 7.48

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we assume the following probability distribution:

X         5       6         7       8        9        10

P(X)   0.05   0.15  0.33  0.28   0.12   0.07

First we need to find the expected value (first moment) and the second moment in order to find the variance and then the standard deviation.

In order to calculate the expected value we can use the following formula:  

E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)  

And if we use the values obtained we got:  

E(X)=5*0.05 +6*0.15 +7*0.33 +8*0.28+ 9*0.12 +10*0.07=7.48  

For this case this value means that the expected score is about 7.48

In order to find the standard deviation we need to find first the second moment, given by :  

E(X^2)=\sum_{i=1}^n X^2_i P(X_i)  

And using the formula we got:  

E(X^2)=(5^2 *0.05)+(6^2 *0.15)+(7^2 *0.33)+(8^2 *0.28)+ (9^2 *0.12 +(10^2 *0.07))=57.46  

Then we can find the variance with the following formula:  

Var(X)=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2 =57.46-(7.48)^2 =1.5096  

And then the standard deviation would be given by:  

Sd(X)=\sqrt{Var(X)}=\sqrt{1.5096}=1.229

Simplify the surd 3√ 20 +√ 45 ​
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

9\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of radicals

\sqrt{a} × \sqrt{b} ⇔ \sqrt{ab}

Simplify the radicals

\sqrt{20}

= \sqrt{4(5)}

= \sqrt{4} × \sqrt{5}

= 2\sqrt{5}

\sqrt{45}

= \sqrt{9(5)}

= \sqrt{9} × \sqrt{5}

= 3\sqrt{5}

Then

3\sqrt{20} + \sqrt{45}

= 3(2\sqrt{5} ) + 3\sqrt{5}

= 6\sqrt{5} + 3\sqrt{5}

= 9\sqrt{5}

In a recent survey, 60% of the community favored building a health center in their neighborhood. If 14 citizens are chosen, find
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Probability that exactly 5 of them favor the building of the health center is 0.0408.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a recent survey, 60% of the community favored building a health center in their neighborhood.

Also, 14 citizens are chosen.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 14 citizens

         r = number of success = exactly 5

        p = probability of success which in our question is % of the community

              favored building a health center in their neighborhood, i.e; 60%

<em>LET X = Number of citizens who favored building of the health center.</em>

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=14, p=0.60)

Now, Probability that exactly 5 of them favor the building of the health center is given by = P(X = 5)

        P(X = 5) = \binom{14}{5} \times 0.60^{5} \times (1-0.60)^{14-5}

                      = 2002 \times 0.60^{5} \times 0.40^{9}

                      = 0.0408

Therefore, Probability that exactly 5 of them favor the building of the health center is 0.0408.
