Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable representing the number of freshmen that will enter and graduate from the college. This is a binomial distribution since the outcomes are two ways. It is either they graduate or they don't graduate. The probability of success, p = 55/100 = 0.55

The probability of failure, q would be 1 - p = 1 - 0.55 = 0.45

a) We want to determine P(x = 3)

From the binomial distribution table,

P(x = 3) = 0.34

b) A majority would be all 3 and above graduating. From the binomial distribution table,

P(x ≥ 3) = 0.26

c) mean = np

mean = 80 × 0.55 = 44

Standard deviation = √npq

Standard deviation = √80 × 0.55 × 0.45 = 4.45

Someone came into a store and stole 100 dollars from the register. The person returned 5 minutes later and purchased 70 dollars

Nataliya [291]

Think of it this way. Ignore for now that $100 was stolen.

The purchase of the $70 item for $100 cash with $30 change is a perfectly fair purchase. The store received $100 cash, and the store gave $70 worth of merchandise plus $30 cash.There was no loss to the store there.

The fact that $100 in cash was stolen earlier from cash register means the loss is $100. The legitimate transaction does not affect the loss.

If you have a hard time understanding the loss is $100, then think of it this way.
Reverse the order of the two happenings.

A person walked into a store and bought a $70 item with a $100 bill. He received $30 change. So far, there is no loss to the store. Everything is legit.

That customer later came back to the store and stole $100 from the cash register.

Here we see clearly that the loss is exactly $100. It is simply the $100 stolen from the cash register.

A statistics teacher started class one day by drawing the names of 10 students out of a hat and asked them to do as many pushups

HACTEHA [7]

Answer: b. 8.56 to 21.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $\mu$ be the mean number of pushups that can be done.

As per given , we have

Sample size : n= 10

Degree of freedom = n-1=9

Sample mean : $\overline{x}=15$

Sample standard deviation : $s=9$

Significance level : α=1-0.95=0.05

From t- distribution table ,

Critical two -tailed t-value for α=0.05 and df = 9 is

$t_{\alpha/2, 9}=t_{0.025,9}=2.2622$

Confidence interval for $\mu$ is given by :-

$\overline{x}\pm t*\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

$=15\pm (2.2622)\dfrac{9}{\sqrt{10}}\\\\\approx 15\pm 6.44=(15-6.44,\ 15+6.44)\\\\=(8.56,\ 21.44)$

Hence, the 95% confidence interval for the true mean number of pushups that can be done is 8.56 to 21.44.
