Population mean = 80

Mathematics

4 0

Answer:

The answer is : 0.0597

Step-by-step explanation:

Population mean = μ = 80

Standard deviation = σ = 20

Sample = N = 60

σ_mean = σ/√N

= (20)/√(60) = 2.582

Now we will find z1 and z2.

z1 = {(84) - μ}/σ_mean = ${(84)-(80)}/(2.582)= 1.549$

z2 = {(88) - μ}/σ_mean = ${(88)-(80)}/(2.582)= 3.098$

Now probability that the sample mean will be between 84 and 88 is given by:

Prob{ (1.549) ≤ Z≤ (3.098) } = (0.9990) -(0.9393) = 0.0597

An article reports that 1 in 500 people carry the defective gene that causes inherited colon cancer. In a sample of 2000 individ

Tema [17]

Answer:

a) P=0.558

b) P=0.021

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this random variable as a Poisson distribution with parameter λ=1/500*2000=4.

The approximate distribution of the number who carry this gene in a sample of 2000 individuals is:

$P(x=k)=\frac{\lambda^ke^{-\lambda}}{k!} =\frac{4^ke^{-4}}{k!}$

a) We can calculate that the approximate probability that between 4 and 9 (inclusive) as:

$P(4\leq x\leq 9)=\sum_{k=4}^9P(k)\\\\\\ P(4)=4^{4} \cdot e^{-4}/4!=256*0.0183/24=0.195\\\\P(5)=4^{5} \cdot e^{-4}/5!=1024*0.0183/120=0.156\\\\P(6)=4^{6} \cdot e^{-4}/6!=4096*0.0183/720=0.104\\\\P(7)=4^{7} \cdot e^{-4}/7!=16384*0.0183/5040=0.06\\\\P(8)=4^{8} \cdot e^{-4}/8!=65536*0.0183/40320=0.03\\\\P(9)=4^{9} \cdot e^{-4}/9!=262144*0.0183/362880=0.013\\\\\\$

$P(4\leq x\leq 9)=\sum_{k=4}^9P(k)=0.195+0.156+0.104+0.060+0.030+0.013=0.558$

b) The approximate probability that at least 9 carry the gene is:

$P(x\geq9)=1-P(x\leq 8)\\\\\\$

$P(0)=4^{0} \cdot e^{-4}/0!=1*0.0183/1=0.018\\\\P(1)=4^{1} \cdot e^{-4}/1!=4*0.0183/1=0.073\\\\P(2)=4^{2} \cdot e^{-4}/2!=16*0.0183/2=0.147\\\\P(3)=4^{3} \cdot e^{-4}/3!=64*0.0183/6=0.195\\\\P(4)=4^{4} \cdot e^{-4}/4!=256*0.0183/24=0.195\\\\P(5)=4^{5} \cdot e^{-4}/5!=1024*0.0183/120=0.156\\\\P(6)=4^{6} \cdot e^{-4}/6!=4096*0.0183/720=0.104\\\\P(7)=4^{7} \cdot e^{-4}/7!=16384*0.0183/5040=0.06\\\\P(8)=4^{8} \cdot e^{-4}/8!=65536*0.0183/40320=0.03\\\\$

$P(x\geq9)=1-P(x\leq 8)\\\\P(x\geq9)=1-(0.018+0.073+0.147+0.195+0.195+0.156+0.104+0.060+0.030)\\\\P(x\geq9)=1-0.979=0.021$

Find the area of the triangle below.

xenn [34]

Answer:

Well t find the area of a triangle, you need to multiple Base x height. That gives you 43.56. Now you divide by 2. So the end product will give you 21.78. Those same rules apply to every time you are finding the area of a triangle.
