Answer:

a) There is a 1.21% probability that both contain diet soda.

b) There is a 79.21% probability that both contain diet soda.

c)  P(X = 2) is unusual, P(X = 0) is not unusual

d) There is a 19.58% probability that exactly one is diet and exactly one is regular.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only two possible outcomes. Either the can has diet soda, or it hasn't. So we use the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And \pi is the probability of X happening.

A number of sucesses x is considered unusually low if P(X \leq x) \leq 0.05 and unusually high if P(X \geq x) \geq 0.05

In this problem, we have that:

Two cans are randomly chosen, so n = 2

Two out of 18 cans are filled with diet coke, so \pi = \frac{2}{18} = 0.11

a) Determine the probability that both contain diet soda. P(both diet soda)

That is P(X = 2).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}(0.11)^{2}(0.89)^{0} = 0.0121

There is a 1.21% probability that both contain diet soda.

b)Determine the probability that both contain regular soda. P(both regular)

That is P(X = 0).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}(0.11)^{0}(0.89)^{2} = 0.7921

There is a 79.21% probability that both contain diet soda.

c) Would this be unusual?

We have that P(X = 2) is unusual, since P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) = 0.0121 \leq 0.05

For P(X = 0), it is not unusually high nor unusually low.

d) Determine the probability that exactly one is diet and exactly one is regular. P(one diet and one regular)

That is P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{2,1}(0.11)^{1}(0.89)^{1} = 0.1958

There is a 19.58% probability that exactly one is diet and exactly one is regular.

Complete the frequency table:
SOVA2 [1]

The percentage of students age 15 and above travel to school by bus is 47%

<h3>How to complete the table?</h3>

The table of values is given as:

                     Method of Travel to School

                            Walk/Bike    Bus    Car Row totals

Under age 15                            18                 165

Age 15 and above    65                                 195

Column totals          152          110        98      360

Using the column total of column 1, we have:

Under age 15 + 65 = 152

This gives

Under age 15 = 87

Using the column total of column 2, we have:

Age 15 and above + 18 = 110

This gives

Age 15 and above  = 92

Using the row total of row 1, we have:

Car + 87 + 18 = 165

This gives

Car = 60

Using the row total of row 2, we have:

Car + 65 + 92 = 195

This gives

Car = 38

So, the complete frequency table is

                     Method of Travel to School

                            Walk/Bike    Bus    Car Row totals

Under age 15           87              18      60        165

Age 15 and above    65          92        38        195

Column totals          152          110        98      360

The percentage of students age 15 and above travel to school by bus is:

Percentage = 92/195 * 100%

This gives

Percentage = 47%

Find the sum.
Strike441 [17]

You are gonna use the distributive property.

4(2.5g - 4) + 3(1.2g - 2)

So you are going to multiply 4 with everything inside the first set of parenthesis and your gonna multiply 3 with everything insides the second set of parenthesis.

4 x 2.5g - 4 x 4 + 3 x 1.2g - 3 x 2

10g - 16 + 3.6g - 6

You wanna combine like terms:

10 - 3.6g + 16 - 6

6.4g + 10

You answer is 6.4g + 10.

Hope this Helps!!
