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

Alborosie

Answer:

Bolt A will fit Nut A and Nut B

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following statements:

Nut C fits on Bolt C.

Nut B fits on Bolt B.

Nut A fits on Bolt A.

Bolt C is larger than Bolt B.

Bolt A and Bolt B are exactly the same.

Then we can say that Bolt A will fit Nut A and Nut B...

A clothing store has a going-out-of business sale. They are selling pants for $8.99 and shirts for $3.99. You can spend as much
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Let x represents the number of pants and y represents the number of shirts.

As per the statement:

Since, a clothing store are selling pants for $8.99 and shirts for $3.99

then;

total number of Pants cost is, $8.99x and total number of Shirt cost is, $3.99

Also, it is given that: You can spend as much as $60 and want to buy at least two pairs of pants.

then, we have the equation of inequality;

8.99x + 3.99y \leq 60 ;......[1]         where x, y are natural number.

x-intercept:

Substitute the value y= 0  in [1] and solve for x;

8.99x + 3.99(0) \leq 60

8.99x \leq 60

Simplify:

x \leq 6.667

Since, x is in natural number;

x \leq 7

Similarly.

For y-intercept:

Substitute the value x= 0  in [1] and solve for x;

8.99(0) + 3.99y \leq 60

3.99y \leq 60

Simplify:

y \leq 15.037

y \leq 15

Therefore, we have

8.99x + 3.99y \leq 60 ;

2\leq x\leq 7 and  0\leq y\leq 15
