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 12 randomly observed individuals exactly 8 do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing? ​(b) What is the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals fewer than 6 do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing? ​(c) Would you be surprised​ if, after observing 12 ​individuals, fewer than half covered their mouth when​ sneezing? Why?

Answer: kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of not covering mouth = p(success) = 0.267

Hence, p(covering mouth) = 1 - 0.267 = 0.733

a) What is the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals exactly 8 do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing? ​

Number of samples (n) = 12

P(X = 8)

Using binomial distribution :

P(x) = nCx * p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)

P(x =8) = 12C8 * 0.267^8 * 0.733^(12-8)

P(x =8) = 12C8 * 0.267^8 * 0.733^4

= 0.00369

b) What is the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals fewer than 6 do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing?

P(X < 6) = p(5) + p(4) + p(3) + p(2) + p(1) + p(0)

To save computation time, we can use an online binomial probability calculator :

P(X < 6) = 0.9275

C.) Yes, I will be surprised, because from the binomial probability obtained above, there is a high probability (0.9275) that fewer than half do not cover their mouth.

Jake plans to take a summer job at the recreation center as a lifeguard. He can be paid according to two different plans.
Jlenok [28]

Payment on Plan A = $300

x is the number of hours Jake works.

Payment on Plan B = Fixed charges + (charge per hour) × (number of hours worked)

                               = $150 + $6.25(x)

                               = 150 + 6.25x

Since, the payment on Plan B should be more than Plan A,

150 + 6.25x > 300

6.25x > 300 - 150

6.25x > 150

x > \frac{150}{6.25}

x > 24

The minimum vale for x which satisfies this inequality is 25.

Hence, x = 25.

keith made $306.00 for 18 hours of work at the same rate how many hours would he have to work to make $204.00
Mice21 [21]
306 / 18 = 17
So he's on $17 / hour

$204 / $17 = 12.
Therefore he'd make $204 in 12 hours.

The manufacturer offers a $125 rebate on photocopiers purchases before january 1. what is the nest cost of a $1,475 photocopier
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The net cost of the photocopier before january 1 is <u>$1350.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The manufacturer offers a $125 rebate on photocopiers purchases before january 1.

Now, to find the net cost of $1,475 photocopier before january 1.

Amount of rebate before January 1 = $125.

Cost of photocopier = $1,475.

So, to get the net cost of $1475 photocopier before january 1 we subtract the rebate from it:

\$1475-\$125

=\$1350.

Therefore, the net cost of the photocopier before january 1 is $1350.
