When dragons on planet Pern lay eggs, the eggs are either green or yellow. The biologists have observed over the years that 19%

of the eggs are yellow, and the rest green. Next spring the lead scientist has permission to randomly select 63 of the dragon eggs to incubate. Consider all the possible samples of 63 dragon eggs. What is the mean number of yellow eggs in samples of 63 eggs? (that is the same as asking for the expected value of the number of yellow eggs)

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 19% of the eggs are yellow,

Finger [1]

Answer:

a. The Mexican Airline offers a better deal for 9 students to travel.  

b. 10 students

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The Mexican Air airline offers a round trip airfare of $250 per person.

So, for 9 students the fare will be total $(250 × 9) = $2250

Now, the Fiesta airline offers a round trip airfare of $150 per person if the club agrees to pay a one-time group rate processing fee of $1000.

So, for 9 students the total fare will be = $[1000 + (150 × 9)] =$2350.

Therefore, the Mexican Airline offers a better deal for 9 students to travel.  (Answer)

b. Let for x students both the airline offers the same total costs.

Then we can write  

250x = 1000 + 150x {From the conditions given}

⇒ 100x = 1000

⇒ x = 10

So, if the number of students is 10, then only both the airlines will take same fare. (Answer)

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

0.6708 or 67.08%

Step-by-step explanation:

Helen can only make both free throws if she makes the first. The probability that she makes the first free throw is P(C) = 0.78, now given that she has already made the first one, the probability that she makes the second is P(D|C) = 0.86. Therefore, the probability of Helen making both free throws is:

P(C+D) =  P(C) *P(D|C) = 0.78*0.86\\P(C+D) = 0.6708

There is a 0.6708 probability that Helen makes both free throws.
