Assume that different groups of couples use the XSORT method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. The XS

ORT method is designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5. Now consider a group consisting of 36 couples. a.) Find the mean and standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births

Answer:

Mean and Standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births are 18 and 3 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that he X SORT method is designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5.

Now consider a group consisting of 36 couples.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

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

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 36 couples

            r = number of success

            p = probability of success which in our question is probability

                   of a girl, i.e.; p = 0.5

<em><u>Let X = Numbers of girls in groups of 36 births </u></em>

So, X ~ Binom(n = 36, p = 0.5)

Now, mean for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births is given by;

         <u>Mean</u>, E(X) = n \times p = 36 \times 0.5 = 18

Also, standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births is given by;

        <u>Standard deviation</u>, S.D.(X) =  \sqrt{n\times p\times (1-p)}

                                                      =  \sqrt{36\times 0.5\times (1-0.5)}

                                                      =  3

A track star runs two races on a certain day. The probability thathe wins the first race is 0.7, the probability that he wins th
NARA [144]

Answer:

a) 80% probability that he wins at least one race.

b) 30% probability that he wins exactly one race.

c) 20% probability that he wins neither race.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that he wins the first race.

B is the probability that he wins the second race.

C is the probability that he does not win any of these races.

We have that:

A = a + (A \cap B)

In which a is the probability that he wins the first race but not the second and A \cap B is the probability that he wins both these races.

By the same logic, we have that:

B = b + (A \cap B)

The probability that he wins both races is 0.5.

This means that A \cap B = 0.5

The probability that he wins the second race is 0.6

This means that B = 0.6

B = b + (A \cap B)

0.6 = b + 0.5

b = 0.1

The probability that he wins the first race is 0.7.

This means that A = 0.6

A = a + (A \cap B)

0.7 = a + 0.5

a = 0.2

A) he wins at least one race.

This is

P = a + b + (A \cap B) = 0.2 + 0.1 + 0.5 = 0.8

There is an 80% probability that he wins at least one race.

B) he wins exactly one race.

This is

P = a + b = 0.2 + 0.1 = 0.3

There is a 30% probability that he wins exactly one race.

C) he wins neither race

Either he wins at least one race, or he wins neither. The sum of these probabilities is 100%.

From a), we have that there is an 80% probability that he wins at least one race.

So there is a 100-80 = 20% probability that he wins neither race.

A street that is 360 feet long is covered in snow city workers are using a snow plow to clear the street a tire on the snow plow
belka [17]

Answer:

Radius of tire=0.58 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

as we know that the

Circumference of the tire=2*3.14*r

and it needs to rotate 30 times to cover the street distance of 360 feet

So, the below equation would be used to find the radius of tire in the meters

360/3.28084=30*2*3.14*r

r=0.5824203822 meters

Hence

Radius=0.58 meter

What is the answer to this question having trouble answering it​
Luda [366]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

KL + KJ = 17

2 + 3x + 5x - 1 = 17 add like terms

8x + 1 = 17 subtract 1 from both sides

8x = 16 divide both sides by 8

x = 2

KL = 5x - 1 replace x with 2

5*2 - 1 = 9
