In a​ study, 36​% of adults questioned reported that their health was excellent. A researcher wishes to study the health of peop

le living close to a nuclear power plant. Among 1111 adults randomly selected from this​ area, only 3 reported that their health was excellent. Find the probability that when 1111 adults are randomly​ selected, 3 or fewer are in excellent health. Round to three decimal places.

Answer:

0.3907

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 36​% of adults questioned reported that their health was excellent.

Probability of good health = 0.36

Among 11 adults randomly selected from this​ area, only 3 reported that their health was excellent.

Now we are supposed to find the probability that when 11 adults are randomly​ selected, 3 or fewer are in excellent health.

i.e. P(x\leq 3)=P(x=1)+{P(x=2)+P(x=3)

Formula :P(x=r)=^nC_r p^r q ^ {n-r}

p is the probability of success i.e. p = 0.36

q = probability of failure = 1- 0.36 = 0.64

n = 11

So, P(x\leq 3)=P(x=1)+{P(x=2)+P(x=3)

P(x\leq 3)=^{11}C_1 (0.36)^1 (0.64)^{11-1}+^{11}C_2 (0.36)^2 (0.64)^{11-2}+^{11}C_3 (0.36)^3 (0.64)^{11-3}

P(x\leq 3)=\frac{11!}{1!(11-1)!} (0.36)^1 (0.64)^{11-1}+\frac{11!}{2!(11-2)!}  (0.36)^2 (0.64)^{11-2}+\frac{11!}{3!(11-3)!} (0.36)^3 (0.64)^{11-3}

P(x\leq 3)=0.390748

Hence  the probability that when 11 adults are randomly​ selected, 3 or fewer are in excellent health is 0.3907

-(5a+6)=2(3a+8) what is the answer
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

a = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-(5a+6)=2(3a+8)

-5a -6 = 2*3a +2*8

-5a -6 = 6a +16

-5a -6a = 16+6

-11a = 22

a= -22/11

a = -2

The following data gives the speeds (in mph), as measured by radar, of 10 cars traveling north on I-15. 76 72 80 68 76 74 71 78
____ [38]

Answer:

71.123 mph ≤ μ ≤ 77.277 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into account that the speed of all cars traveling on this highway have a normal distribution and we can only know the mean and the standard deviation of the sample, the confidence interval for the mean is calculated as:

m-t_{a/2,n-1}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ≤ μ ≤ m+t_{a/2,n-1}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }

Where m is the mean of the sample, s is the standard deviation of the sample, n is the size of the sample, μ is the mean speed of all cars, and t_{a/2,n-1} is the number for t-student distribution where a/2 is the amount of area in one tail and n-1 are the degrees of freedom.

the mean and the standard deviation of the sample are equal to 74.2 and 5.3083 respectively, the size of the sample is 10, the distribution t- student has 9 degrees of freedom and the value of a is 10%.

So, if we replace m by 74.2, s by 5.3083, n by 10 and t_{0.05,9} by 1.8331, we get that the 90% confidence interval for the mean speed is:

74.2-(1.8331)\frac{5.3083}{\sqrt{10} } ≤ μ ≤ 74.2+(1.8331)\frac{5.3083}{\sqrt{10} }

74.2 - 3.077 ≤ μ ≤ 74.2 + 3.077

71.123 ≤ μ ≤ 77.277

WILL MAKE BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT!! <br><br> What is the equation of the line? *easy*
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

y = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis is

y = c

where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through all points with a y- coordinate of - 7, then

y = - 7 ← equation of line
