 Let X be a discrete binomial random variable.
 Let p = 0.267 be the probability that a person does not cover his mouth when sneezing.
 Let n = 18 be the number of independent tests.
 Let x be the number of successes.
 So, the probability that the 18 individuals, 8 do not cover their mouth after sneezing will be:

 a) P (X = 8) = 18! / (8! * 10!) * ((0.267) ^ 8) * ((1-0.267) ^ (18-8)).
 P (X = 8) = 0.0506.

 b) The probability that between 18 individuals observed at random less than 6 does not cover their mouth is:

 P (X = 5) + P (X = 4) + P (X = 3) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 0) = 0.6571.

 c) If it was surprising, according to the previous calculation, the probability that less than 6 people out of 18 do not cover their mouths is 66%. Which means it's less likely that more than half of people will not cover their mouths when they sneeze.

Katen [24]

Answer:

  1. Elanor's standardized score is  1.19
  2. Gerald's standardized score is 0.72
  3. Elanor has higher score

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare Elanor's and Gerald's math scores, we need to standardize them and calculate their z-scores.

z score can be calculated using the formula

z=\frac{X-M}{s} where

  • X is the student's score
  • M is the mean score of the exam
  • s is the standard deviation of the exam

Elanor's standardized score is:

z(e) = \frac{680-554}{106} ≈ 1.19

Gerald's standardized score is:

z(g)= \frac{27-24.7}{3.2} ≈ 0.72

Since z(e) > z(g), Elanor has higher score

(G1) The distance from Flagstaff Arizona to
Monica [59]

Answer:

A. 418, 418

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to convert miles to meters is the following:

1 = 1,609.34

so for every 1 mile, you have 1,609.34 meters

so you take your distance in miles and multiply it by 1,609.34

d= 260 x 1,609.34

d = 418, 428.4
