A shoe company found that 4.25% of the production is defective. The company

nlexa [21]

1190 pairs of shoes are defective

Solution:

Given that shoe company found that 4.25% of the production is defective

The company made 28,000 pairs of shoes

To find: Number of pairs of defective shoes

From given information, 4.25% of the production is defective which means 4.25% of 28,000 pairs of shoes

Defective shoes = 4.25% of 28,000

Defective shoes $= \frac{4.25}{100} \times 28000$

Defective shoes $= 4.25 \times 280 = 1190$

Thus 1190 pairs of shoes were defective

According to a Yale program on climate change communication survey, 71% of Americans think global warming is happening.† (a) For

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

a) 0.2741 = 27.41% probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring

b) 0.7611 = 76.11% probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

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

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

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

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$p = 0.71$

(a) For a sample of 16 Americans, what is the probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring?

Here $n = 16$ , we want $P(X \geq 13)$ . So

$P(X \geq 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 13) = C_{16,13}.(0.71)^{13}.(0.29)^{3} = 0.1591$

$P(X = 14) = C_{16,14}.(0.71)^{14}.(0.29)^{2} = 0.0835$

$P(X = 15) = C_{16,15}.(0.71)^{15}.(0.29)^{1} = 0.0273$

$P(X = 16) = C_{16,16}.(0.71)^{16}.(0.29)^{0} = 0.0042$

$P(X \geq 13) = P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) = 0.1591 + 0.0835 + 0.0273 + 0.0042 = 0.2741$

0.2741 = 27.41% probability that at least 13 believe global warming is occurring

(b) For a sample of 160 Americans, what is the probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring?

Now $n = 160$ . So

$\mu = E(X) = np = 160*0.71 = 113.6$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{160*0.71*0.29} = 5.74$

Using continuity correction, this is $P(X \geq 110 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 109.5)$ , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 109.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{109.5 - 113.6}{5.74}$

$Z = -0.71$

$Z = -0.71$ has a pvalue of 0.2389

1 - 0.2389 = 0.7611

0.7611 = 76.11% probability that at least 110 believe global warming is occurring

Which steps would you use to plot the point (7, −6, −5) in a 3-dimensional coordinate system starting from the origin?

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

B. move forward 7, left 6, and down 5

Step-by-step explanation:

By the convention of 3D geometry, the coordinates of a point (x,y,z) represent how far the point is from the origin forward-backward , right/left , up-down respectively with prior one for the positive coordinate and latter for the negative coordinate.

so we need to move forward 7 for x=7 then to left 6 for y=-6 and then down 5 for z=-5.

What is the area of a regular nonagon (9 sides) with side length of 15 cm and apothem of 20.6 cm? Round the answer to the neares

Triss [41]

We know that

The nine radii of a regular Nonagon divides into 9 congruent isosceles triangles
therefore
[the area of a regular nonagon]=9*[area of isosceles triangle]

[area of isosceles triangle]=b*h/2------> 15*20.6/2----> 154.5 cm²
so
[the area of a regular nonagon]=9*[154.5]------> 1390.5 cm²

the answer is
1390.5 cm²
