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

Will a stand that can hold up to 40 pounds support a21-kilograms television? Explain. Use 2.2 lb=1kg.
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight limit = 40 Lb

Weight given = 21 kg

Conversion factor

2.2 Lb = 1 kg

2.2 x 21 = 46.2

46.2 Lb = 21 kg

46.2 > 40, the stand cannot support the TV

TV > stand

The points (-18,15) and (-20,15) lie on a circle with a radius of 1. Find the coordinates of the center of the circle.
FromTheMoon [43]
.hello :
an equation of the circle <span>Center at the w(a,b) and ridus : r is :
(x-a)² +(y-b)² = r²
in this exercice : r = 1
</span><span>The points (-18,15) and (-20,15) lie on a circle with a radius of 1:
</span>(-18-a)²+(15-b)² = 1 ....(1)
(-20-a)² +(15-b)² = 1 ....(2)
solve this system :
(1) -(2) : (-18-a)² - (-20-a)² =0
(-18-a)² =(-20-a)² =0
( -18-a = -20-a) or (-18-a = - (-20-a))
1 )  ( -18-a = -20-a) no solution confused : -18=-20
2 ) -18-a =20+a
      -2a =38
      a = -19 
subst in (1) :(-18+19)²+(15-b)² =1
(15-b)² = 0.... 15-b = 0     .... b = 15
the center is :w(-19,15)

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

18,000 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We know:

  • v = 4 and t = 24

Substitute:

{ v = 4      ⇒ INTO FORMULA ⇒ D = V × T : D = 4 × 24

{ t = 24

Cross out the common factor:

⇒ 6 × 3000

Calculate the product or quotient:

⇒ 18,000
