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.

Mr. Smith is flying his single-engine plane at an altitude of 2400 feet. He sees a cornfield at an angle of depression of 30º. W
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Height of the fighter plane =1.5km=1500 m

Speed of the fighter plane, v=720km/h=200 m/s

Let be the angle with the vertical so that the shell hits the plane. The situation is shown in the given figure.

Muzzle velocity of the gun, u=600 m/s

Time taken by the shell to hit the plane =t

Horizontal distance travelled by the shell =u

x

t

Distance travelled by the plane =vt

The shell hits the plane. Hence, these two distances must be equal.

u

t=vt

u Sin θ=v

Sin θ=v/u

=200/600=1/3=0.33

θ=Sin

(0.33)=19.50

In order to avoid being hit by the shell, the pilot must fly the plane at an altitude (H) higher than the maximum height achieved by the shell for any angle of launch.

(90−θ)/2g=600

Please help. I will mark as brainliest
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

1) m∠ZAY = 130°

2) m∠ZXY = 65°

3) m∠SVY = 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the arc angle is the measure of the central angle which intercepts it so 130°

2)measure of the inscribed angle  is 1/2measure of intercepted Arc so 1/2 of 130° is 65°

3) In this case two chords intersect inside a circle and four angles are formed

Angle Formed by Two Chords is 1/2*(Sum of Intercepted Arcs) so

m∠SVY = 1/2( m arc RX + m arc YS) = 1/2( 15+55) =1/2 * 70 =35°
