Consider the probability that at least 88 out of 158 software users will not call technical support. Assume the probability that

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

$E(X) = 158*0.57 =90.06$

And the standard deviation for the random variable is given by:

$\sigma= \sqrt{158*0.57*(1-0.57)} = 6.223$

And the distribution for the approximation is given by:

$X \sim N (\mu = 90.06, \sigma = 6.223)$

We can use the z score formula given by:

$z = \frac{x -\mu}{\sigma}$

And using the complement rule we got:

$P(X \geq 88) = 1-P(X$

And using the standard normal table we got:

$P(X \geq 88) = 1-P(X$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Bin (n = 158, p =0.57)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

We want this probability:

$P(X\geq 88)$

Normal approximation

We need to check if we can use the normal approximation , the conditions are:

$np =158*0.57 = 90.06>10$

$n(1-p) = 158*(1-0.57) = 67.94>10$

Since we satisfy both conditions the normal approximation makes sense

The expected value is given by this formula:

$E(X) = 158*0.57 =90.06$

And the standard deviation for the random variable is given by:

$\sigma= \sqrt{158*0.57*(1-0.57)} = 6.223$

And the distribution for the approximation is given by:

$X \sim N (\mu = 90.06, \sigma = 6.223)$

We can use the z score formula given by:

$z = \frac{x -\mu}{\sigma}$

And using the complement rule we got:

$P(X \geq 88) = 1-P(X$

And using the standard normal table we got:

$P(X \geq 88) = 1-P(X$

which of the following would be neither perpendicular nor parallel to the following equation. y=3x-7. equations: y=-1/3x-7, y=-1

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

y=1/3x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations parallel to each other have the same slope so that rules out the fourth answer. Perpendicular equations have opposite and reciprocal slopes, which in this case would be $\frac{-1}{3}$ , which rules out all of the others except for the third option.
