A high percentage of people who fracture or dislocate a bone see a doctor for that condition. Suppose the percentage is 99%. Con

sider a sample in which 300 people are randomly selected who have fractured or dislocated a bone. (i) What is the probability that exactly five of them did not see a doctor? (4 marks) (ii) What is the probability that fewer than four of them did not see a doctor? (5 marks) (iii) What is the expected number of people who would not see a doctor? (5 marks)

Answer:

(i) 0.15708

(ii) 0.432488

(iii) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, 99% of people who fracture or dislocate a bone see a doctor for that condition.

There is only two chance either the person having fracture or dislocation of bone will either see the doctor or not.

As per previous data, if one person got a fracture or dislocation of bone, the chance of seeing the doctor is 0.99. Assuming this chance is the same for every individual, so the total number of people having fractured or dislocated a bone can be considered as Bernoulli's population.

Let p be the probability of success represented by the chances of not seeing a doctor by any one individual having fractured or dislocated a bone.

So, p=1-0.99=0.01

According to Bernoulli's theorem, the probability of exactly r success among the total of n randomly selected from Bernoulli's population is

P(r)=\binom{n}{r}p^r(1-p)^{n-r}\cdots(i)

(i) The total number of persons randomly selected, n=400.

The probability that exactly 5 of them did not see a doctor

So, r=5 , p=0.01

Using equation (i),

P(r=5)=\binom{400}{5}(0.01)^5(1-0.01)^{400-5}

=\frac{400!}{(400-5)!\times 5!}(0.01)^5(0.99)^{395}

=0.15708

(ii) The probability that fewer than four of them did not see a doctor

=P(r

=P(r=0)+P(r=1)+P(r=2)+P(r=3)

=\binom{400}{0}(0.01)^0(0.99)^{400}+\binom{400}{1}(0.01)^1(0.99)^{399}+\binom{400}{2}(0.01)^2(0.99)^{398}+\binom{400}{3}(0.01)^3(0.99)^{397}

=0.017951+0.072527+0.146154+0.195856

=0.432488

(iii) The expected number of people who would not see a doctor

=np

=300\times 0.01

=3

Evan wants to build a rectangular enclosure for his animals. One side of the pen will be against the barn, so he needs no fence
pentagon [3]

Answer:  A.   A=(1000-2w)*w      B. 250 feet

C.  125 000 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of rectangular is A=l*w    (1)

From another hand the length of the fence is 2*w+l=1000        (2)

L is not multiplied by 2, because the opposite side of the l is the barn,- we don't need in fence on that side.

Express l from (2):

l=1000-2w

Substitude l in (1) by 1000-2w

A=(1000-2w)*w        (3)   ( Part A. is done !)

Part B.

To find the width w  (Wmax) that corresponds to max of area A   we have to dind the roots of equation (1000-2w)w=0  ( we get it from (3))

w1=0  1000-2*w2=0

w2=500

Wmax= (w1+w2)/2=(0+500)/2=250 feet

The width that maximize area A is Wmax=250 feet

Part C.   Using (3) and the value of Wmax=250 we can write the following:

A(Wmax)=250*(1000-2*250)=250*500=125 000 square feets
