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.

A square pyramid has a height of 12 units and a volume of 256 units3. If a square prism has the same the base area and volume as
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a square pyramid is (a²)*h/3

256=a²*12/3

256=a²*4

256/4=a²

64=a²

a=8

Now we know that the square is 8 by 8.

The volume of a square prism is a²h

256=64h

256/64=h

h=4

Also, a square pyramid is 1/3 the volume of a square prism.

A town park has two biking trails. Marsh Trail is 5 3/10 miles long. Woodland trail is 2 4/5 Miles long. How much longer is Mari
torisob [31]

Answer:

21/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer can be determined by substracting the lengrh of the woodland trail from the Marsh trail

5\frac{3}{10} - 2\frac{4}{5}

3\frac{3 - 8}{10}

2\frac{5}{10}

converting the fraction to its simplest form gives 21/2
