You ALWAYS remove parentheses first.

That gives you [ 1/4 a⁴ b⁻² ] in the denominator, and then
you can start dividing the numerator and denominator by
their common factors ("canceling").

I think the answer to that might be 1/2 or .5ab^3 because I multiplied the bottom part -2*-2 which is 4ab^4 then the top part is 2ab -3+2= 2ab^-1 then divide 2/4 and subtract -1-4 so it's = 1/2 or .5ab^3

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

a) 59.10% probability that 12 or fewer fish were caught.

b) 99.74% probability that 5 or more fish were caught.

c) 58.84% probability that between 5 and 12 fish were caught.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 29, p = 0.41$

$\mu = E(X) = np = 29*0.41 = 11.89$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = 2.6486$

Find the following probabilities.

a) 12 or fewer fish were caught.

Using continuity correction, this is $P(X \leq 12 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 12.5)$ , which is the pvalue of Z when X = 12.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{12.5 - 11.89}{2.6486}$

$Z = 0.23$

$Z = 0.23$ has a pvalue of 0.5910

59.10% probability that 12 or fewer fish were caught.

b) 5 or more fish were caught.

Using continuity correction, this is $P(X \geq 5 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 4.5)$ , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 4.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{4.5 - 11.89}{2.6486}$

$Z = -2.79$

$Z = -2.79$ has a pvalue of 0.0026

1 - 0.0026 = 0.9974

99.74% probability that 5 or more fish were caught.

c) between 5 and 12 fish were caught.

Using continuity correction, this is $P(5 - 0.5 \leq X \leq 12 + 0.5) = P(4.5 \leq X \leq 12.5)$ , which is the pvalue of Z when X = 12.5 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 4.5. So.

From a), when X = 12.5, Z has a pvalue of 0.5910

From b), when X = 4.5, Z has a pvalue of 0.0026.

0.5910 - 0.0026 = 0.5884

58.84% probability that between 5 and 12 fish were caught.

Answer:

p = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

-20p + 15p = -20

-5p = -20

-p = -4

p = 4 (swapping it would make them positive)
