Answer:

a. mean = 6.96 , standard deviation = 1.71 b. 0.0641

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

According to the Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System, 58% of all Americans adhere to a sedentary lifestyle (sedentary means does not exercise).

a. If you selected repeated samples of 12 from the U.S. population, what would be the mean number of individuals per sample who do not exercise regularly? What would be the standard deviation?

b. Suppose you select a sample of 12 individuals and find that 10 of them do not exercise regularly. Assuming that the Surveillance System is correct, what is the probability that you would have obtained results as bad or worse than expected?

<em>Solution</em>

a. Since we can only have two types of outcomes, that is, those who exercise and those who do not exercise, the problem follows a binomial distribution.

Since the probability of those who do not exercise, p = 58 % = 0.58,

the mean of the binomial distribution μ = np where n = sample number = 12

So, μ = 12 × 0.58 = 6.96

The standard deviation of a binomial distribution σ = √(npq) where q = probability that people exercise = 1 - p = 1 - 0.58 = 0.42

So, σ = √(12 × 0.58 × 0.42) = √2.9232 = 1.71

b. To find the worst case, we consider the probability that at best, two exercise. Since two exercise, the probability that at best two exercise is ¹²C₂q²p¹⁰ + ¹²C₁qp¹¹ + ¹²C₀q⁰p¹²

= (12 × 11/2)(0.42)²(0.58)¹⁰ + 12(0.42)(0.58)¹¹ + 1 × (0.42)⁰(0.58)¹²

= 0.05 + 0.0126 + 0.00145

= 0.06405

≅ 0.0641

The hexagon divides the circle into 6 parts. That means the angle projecting each side is: 360°÷ 6 = 60°

The area of a circle is: πr²
78.54 in² divided by pi is 25 making the radius = 5

I would then use SOH CAH TOA to solve for the side.. knowing the hypotenuse is the radius and the angle to split it into a right triangle is 30°

Sin(30) = s/5
5*Sin(30) = s

12*s = perimeter hexagon
(remember s is half the hexagon side)

12*5*Sin(30) = perimeter hexagon
30 inches  = perimeter

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

  A.  (14,20)

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse relation is found by swapping x and y in the ordered pair.

When ...

   14 = f^-1(20)

then ...

  20 = f(14)

The corresponding ordered pair is (14, 20).
