According to a study done by a university​ student, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mou

th when sneezing is 0.267. suppose you sit on a bench in a mall and observe​ people's habits as they sneeze. ​(a) what is the probability that among 18 randomly observed individuals exactly 8 do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing? ​(b) what is the probability that among 18 randomly observed individuals fewer than 6 do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing? ​(c) would you be surprised​ if, after observing 18 ​individuals, fewer than half covered their mouth when​ sneezing? why?

 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.

Therefore, when (x - 4) is a Factor :-
=> x - 4 = 0
=> x = 4

=> x = 4 is the Zero of the Polynomial.

According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, which polynomial function has exactly 6 roots?
Paul [167]

Answer: d.f(x)=7x^6+3x^3+12


Explanation:-

  • The fundamental theorem of algebra tells that every non-constant single-variable polynomial with complex coefficients has at least one complex root.
  • Corollary to the fundamental theorem tells that every polynomial of m>0 degree has exactly m zeroes.

Thus only option d.f(x)=7x^6+3x^3+12 with degree 6 has exactly 6 roots.

There is an alien machine which produces seven aliens every two seconds. At this rate how many aliens will produces in one hour?
lyudmila [28]
Well, there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, and there are 60 seconds in 1 minute, so in 60 minutes, there are 60 * 60 seconds, or 3600 seconds in 60 minutes, or 1 hour, therefore, in 1 hour there are 3600 seconds.

the machine makes 7 aliens in 2 seconds, how many will it make in 3600 seconds?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
aliens&seconds\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
7&2\\
a&3600
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{7}{a}=\cfrac{2}{3600}\implies \cfrac{7\cdot 3600}{2}=a

that many.
