The blood type O negative is called the "universal donor" type because it is the only blood type that may safely be transfused i

nto any person. Therefore, when someone needs a transfusion in an emergency and their blood type cannot be determined, they are given type O negative blood. For this reason, donors with this blood type are crucial to blood banks. Unfortunately, this blood type is fairly rare; according to the Red Cross, only 7 percentage of U.S. residents have type O negative blood. Assume that a blood bank has recruited 20 unrelated donors. (State calculator entry and give 4 decimal places) What is the probability that fewer than three of them will have type O negative blood? What is the probability that more than 4 of them have type O negative blood? Find the probability that none of the donors had type O negative blood. Would this be unusual? Explain. What is the mean of the number of donors who have type O negative blood for a group this size? What is the standard deviation of the number of donors who have type O negative blood for a group this size?

Answer:

Probability that fewer than three of them will have type O negative blood: P(x<3)=0.6047

Probability that more than 4 of them have type O negative blood: P(x>4)=0.0472

Probability that none of the donors had type O negative blood: P(x=0)=0.2342

Mean of the number of donors who have type O negative blood for a group this size: E=1

Standard deviation of the number of donors who have type O negative blood for a group this size: SD=2

Step-by-step explanation:

These experiments behave as binomial distribution:

P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}. p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where:

x: donors have type O negative blood

p: success outcome (0.07)

n: unrelated donors (20)

<u>Fewer than three donors will have type O negative blood:</u>

P(x<3)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)=\frac{20!}{0!(20-0)!}. (0.07)^0.(1-0.07)^{20-0}+\frac{20!}{1!(20-1)!}. (0.07)^1.(1-0.07)^{20-1}+\frac{20!}{2!(20-2)!}. (0.07)^2.(1-0.07)^{20-2}}

P(x<3)=0.2342+0.3526+0.2521=0.8389

<u>More than 4 of donors have type O negative blood:</u>

P(x>4)=1-P(x<4)= 1 - P(x=0) - P(x=1) - P(x=2) - P(x=3)= 1 - 0.2342 - 0.3526 - 0.2521 - 0.1139=0.0472

<u>None of the donors had type O negative blood:</u>

P(x=0)=\frac{20!}{0!(20-0)!}. (0.07)^0.(1-0.07)^{20-0}=0.2342

Mean of the number of donors who have type O negative blood:

E=n×p=20×0.07=1.4≅1

The mean number of donors that have type O negative blood is 1.

Standard deviation of the number of donors who have type O negative blood:

SD=\sqrt{npq}=\sqrt{20*0.07*0.93}=1.5≅2

The standard deviation of the distribution of donors that have type O negative blood is 2.

SOMEONE PLEASE I NEED HELP!!!!!!!
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

1 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 cup of almonds = 4 cups of trail mix

4 cups of trail mix = 2/3 cup of almond

4 cups of trail mix = 2/3 cup of almond

1 cup of trail mix = 2/3 ÷ 4 = 1/6 cup of almond

1 cup of trail mix = 1/6 cup of almond

9 cups of trail mix = 1/6 x 9 = 3/2 cup of almond

3/2 cups = 1 1/2 cups

Find the equation of the circle with the given characteristics. Center: (−2, 1) Radius: 2 The solution is
konstantin123 [22]
The format for the equation of a circle is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, where (h,k) is your center and r is your radius. All we have to do is substitute the correct values, giving us the equation (x+2)^2+(y-1)^2=4

Find the surface area of a square pyramid with a base length of 24 cm and a height of 16 cm. Explain how you solved the problem.
icang [17]

Answer:

the answer b

Step-by-step explanation:

[surface area]=[area of 4 triangles sides]+[area of square base]

[area of square base]=24*24--------> 576 cm²

[area of one triangles side]

l=slant height

l²=16²+12²-------> l²=400-----------> l=20 cm

[area of one triangles side]=24*20/2--------> 240 cm²

[area of 4 triangles sides]=4*240----------> 960 cm²

[surface area]=[960]+[576]--------> 1536 cm²
