Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total production order be X. The combined rate is thus x/36 orders per hour.

Now, we know that the three machines are working at the same constant rate. This means that individual rate for each of the machines will be x/36 divided by 3 and that gives x/108 per machine.

Now, we are having another machine coming at the same constant rate. This means we are adding an x/108 rate to the preexisting x/36.

The new total rate thus becomes x/108 + x/36 = 4x/108

Now we know that the total new rate is 4x/108. Since the total work doesn’t change and it is still x, the time taken to complete a work of x orders at a rate of 4x/108 order per hour would be x divided by 4x/108 and this is x * 108/4x = 108/4 = 27 hours

Suppose it is known that 60% of radio listeners at a particular college are smokers. A sample of 500 students from the college i
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The probability that at least 280 of these students are smokers is 0.9664.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> be defined as the number of students at a particular college who are smokers

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 500 and p = 0.60.

But the sample selected is too large and the probability of success is close to 0.50.

So a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied to approximate the distribution of X if the following conditions are satisfied:

1. np ≥ 10

2. n(1 - p) ≥ 10

Check the conditions as follows:

 np=500\times 0.60=300>10\\n(1-p)=500\times(1-0.60)=200>10

Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.

So,  

X\sim N(\mu=600, \sigma=\sqrt{120})

Compute the probability that at least 280 of these students are smokers as follows:

Apply continuity correction:

P (X ≥ 280) = P (X > 280 + 0.50)

                   = P (X > 280.50)

                   =P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{280-300}{\sqrt{120}}\\=P(Z>-1.83)\\=P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that at least 280 of these students are smokers is 0.9664.
