Left-handedness occurs in about 12% of all Americans. Males are slightly more likely than females to be left-handed, with 13% of

males and 11% of females being left-handed. Suppose a random sample of 80 females and 100 males is chosen.
-Let X be the number of males (out of the 100) who are left-handed.

-Let Y be the number of females (out of the 80) who are left-handed.

-Let Z be the total number of left-handed individuals in the sample (males and females together).

Which of the following is true regarding the random variables X and Y?

a)Both X and Y can be well approximated by normal random variables.
b)Only X can be well approximated by a normal random variable.
c)Only Y can be well approximated by a normal random variable.
d)Neither X nor Y can be well approximated by a normal random variable.

Answer:

a)Both X and Y can be well approximated by normal random variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each individual, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are right-handed, or they are left-handed. This means that we can solve this problem using concepts of the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability:

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with probability p.

The binomial probability can be well approximated by normal random variables, using the expected value E(X) = np and the standard deviation \sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Let X be the number of males (out of the 100) who are left-handed.

n = 100 and p = 0.13. Can be well approximated.

Let Y be the number of females (out of the 80) who are left-handed.

n = 80 and p = 0.11. Can be well approximated.

The correct answer is

a)Both X and Y can be well approximated by normal random variables.

Lisa bought stock three years ago and sold it today for a profit of $1,200. this is a _____.
goldenfox [79]
Well if you are looking for the profit margin we need how much is was when she bought it, because it doesn't say, you can't say It's a increase or a decrease, so you could say this is a investment.
But considering you put this under mathematics I assume there is more to this question you forgot to post.

a father is twice as old as his son. 20 yrs ago the father was four times as old as his son. find their present ages
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

son's present age = 30

father's present age=60

Step-by-step explanation:

his son's present age = x years

his father's present age = 2x years

before 20 years his son's age=(x-20) years

before 20 years father's age=(2x-20) years4(x-20)=(2x-20)

4x-80=2x-20

4x-2x=80-20

2x=60

x=30
