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

How many triangles can be made with a 70 degree angle a 30 degree angle and an 80 degree angle​
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

There are infinite number of triangles that could be achieved with those angles.

To picture this, we only have to imagine a triangle that is either smaller or bigger than the one at hand.

Tracing a series of paralell lines (which guarantee that the angles are being kept),  we can draw triangles for infinite values of x,y and z.

When plotted on a grid, the paths between four neighborhood houses form the shape of a kite as shown.
KatRina [158]

Answer:

The area of the figure is 1,000 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the kite ABCD

is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}[AC*BD]

where

AC and BD are the diagonals of the kite

we have

BD=50\ ft\\AC=40\ ft

substitute

A=\frac{1}{2}[40*50]=1,000\ ft^2

Find the value of the trigonometric ratio, cos M.
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The answer is option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

cos M = adjacent / hypotenuse

From the picture

b is the adjacent

x is the hypotenuse

so

cos M = b/x

Hope this helps you

Y=2x+6 and y=-3x+16 for solving the system
Butoxors [25]
Substitution

Step 1: Solve for x or y in either of the two equations. In the equations that you are given, y is already solved for you.

Step 2: Plug in 2x + 6 into the opposite equation.

   2x + 6 = -3x + 16
         - 6              - 6
------------------------------
   2x = -3x + 10
+ 3x  + 3x
------------------------------
   5x  =  10
 ------   ------
    5        5

x = 2

Step 3: Plug in the x value into either equation.

y = 2(2) + 6
y = 4 + 6
y = 10

The final answer gets expressed as a coordinate pair: (x,y) (2,10)

I hope this helps you :)
