ribution to estimate the requested probabilities. It is estimated that 3.7% of the general population will live past their 90th birthday. In a graduating class of 745 high school seniors, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

Answer:

a) Bi [P ( X >=15 ) ] ≈ 0.9944

b) Bi [P ( X >=30 ) ] ≈ 0.3182

c)  Bi [P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ] ≈ 0.6623

d) Bi [P ( X >40 ) ] ≈ 0.0046  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Total sample size n = 745

- The probability of success p = 0.037

- The probability of failure q = 0.963

Find:

a. 15 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday

b. 30 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday

c. between 25 and 35 will live beyond their 90th birthday

d. more than 40 will live beyond their 90th birthday

Solution:

- The condition for normal approximation to binomial distribution:                                                

                    n*p = 745*0.037 = 27.565 > 5

                    n*q = 745*0.963 = 717.435 > 5

                    Normal Approximation is valid.

a) P ( X >= 15 ) ?

 - Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:

                Bi [P ( X >=15 ) ] = N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ]

 - Then the parameters u mean and σ standard deviation for normal distribution are:

                u = n*p = 27.565

                σ = sqrt ( n*p*q ) = sqrt ( 745*0.037*0.963 ) = 5.1522

- The random variable has approximated normal distribution as follows:

                X~N ( 27.565 , 5.1522^2 )

- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:

                N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= (14.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )

                N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= -2.5358 )

- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:

                P ( Z >= -2.5358 ) = 0.9944

                N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= -2.5358 ) = 0.9944

Hence,

                Bi [P ( X >=15 ) ] ≈ 0.9944

b) P ( X >= 30 ) ?

 - Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:

                Bi [P ( X >=30 ) ] = N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ]

- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:

                N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= (29.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )

                N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= 0.37556 )

- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:

                P ( Z >= 0.37556 ) = 0.3182

                N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= 0.37556 ) = 0.3182

Hence,

                Bi [P ( X >=30 ) ] ≈ 0.3182  

c) P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ?

 - Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:

                Bi [P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ] = N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 35.5 ) ]

- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:

                N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 35.5 ) ]= P ( (24.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 =<Z =< (35.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )

                N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 25.5 ) ] = P ( -0.59489 =<Z =< 1.54011 )

- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:

                P ( -0.59489 =<Z =< 1.54011 ) = 0.6623

               N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 35.5 ) ]= P ( -0.59489 =<Z =< 1.54011 ) = 0.6623

Hence,

                Bi [P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ] ≈ 0.6623

d) P ( X > 40 ) ?

 - Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:

                Bi [P ( X >40 ) ] = N [ P ( X > 41 ) ]

- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:

                N [ P ( X > 41 ) ] = P ( Z > (41 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )

                N [ P ( X > 41 ) ] = P ( Z > 2.60762 )

- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:

               P ( Z > 2.60762 ) = 0.0046

               N [ P ( X > 41 ) ] =  P ( Z > 2.60762 ) = 0.0046

Hence,

                Bi [P ( X >40 ) ] ≈ 0.0046

In the game of​ roulette, a player can place a ​$4 bet on the number 29 and have a 1/38 probability of winning. If the metal bal
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The expected value of the game to the player is -$0.2105 and the expected loss if played the game 1000 times is -$210.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that if ball lands on 29 players will get $140 otherwise casino will takes $4.

The probability of winning is 1/38. So, the probability of loss is 37/38.

Now, find the expected value of the game to the player as shown:

E(x)=(140)\times \frac{1}{38}+(-4)\times \frac{37}{38}

E(x)=\frac{140-148}{38}

E(x)=\frac{-8}{38}=-$0.2105

Hence, the expected value of the game to the player is -$0.2105.

Now find the expect to loss if played the game 1000 times.

1000×(-$0.2105)=-$210.5

Therefore, the expected loss if played the game 1000 times is -$210.5.

Blaire needs more than 708 total points on assignments in her math class to pass. She only has 236 points and needs to do some e
blsea [12.9K]

Answer: D) x = 8


Step-by-step explanation: In order to get this answer, you need to keep the 236 and add 59 evry time until you get 708.

Another thing is to multiply 59 by 8, which will give you 472. Now we add 472 and 236 and we get 708.

59 x 8 = 472 + 236 = 708.

56 + 56 + 56 + 56 + 56 + 56 + 56 + 56 = 472 + 236 = 708.

Hope this helped!
