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.

Show tan(???? − ????) = tan(????)−tan(????) / 1+tan(????) tan(????)<br> .
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

See the proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we need to proof the following identity:

tan(x-y) = \frac{tan(x) -tan(y)}{1+ tan(x) tan(y)}

We need to begin with the definition of tangent:

tan (x) =\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}

So we can replace into our formula and we got:

tan(x-y) = \frac{sin(x-y)}{cos(x-y)}   (1)

We have the following identities useful for this case:

sin(a-b) = sin(a) cos(b) - sin(b) cos(a)

cos(a-b) = cos(a) cos(b) + sin (a) sin(b)

If we apply the identities into our equation (1) we got:

tan(x-y) = \frac{sin(x) cos(y) - sin(y) cos(x)}{sin(x) sin(y) + cos(x) cos(y)}   (2)

Now we can divide the numerator and denominato from expression (2) by \frac{1}{cos(x) cos(y)} and we got this:

tan(x-y) = \frac{\frac{sin(x) cos(y)}{cos(x) cos(y)} - \frac{sin(y) cos(x)}{cos(x) cos(y)}}{\frac{sin(x) sin(y)}{cos(x) cos(y)} +\frac{cos(x) cos(y)}{cos(x) cos(y)}}

And simplifying we got:

tan(x-y) = \frac{tan(x) -tan(y)}{1+ tan(x) tan(y)}

And this identity is satisfied for all:

(x-y) \neq \frac{\pi}{2} +n\pi
