Answer:

Expectation=240

standard deviation=3.098

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability function with n=250 and probability of success is 96%

-The expected value is calculated as:

E(X)=np\\\\=250\times 0.96\\\\=240

Hence, the expected germination is 240 seeds

b. From a above, we have the value of p=0.96 and n=250.

The standard deviation of germination is therefore calculated using the formula:

\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}, \ \ \ \\\\=\sqrt{250\times 0.96(1-0.96)}\\\\\\=3.098

Hence, the standard deviation of germination is 3.098

Tyler does squats and pushups. He wants to increase the number of each type of exercise by 20% by the end of the month. He curre
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Tyler currently does 40 squats

Step-by-step explanation:

Tyler does squats and pushups.

<u>Currently:</u>

Number of pushups = 25

Number of squats = x

Total number = 25 + x

<u>After increase:</u>

Number of pishups =25\cdot (1+0.2)=1.2\cdot 25=30

Number of squats =x\cdot (1+0.2)=1.2x

Total number =30+1.2x

If Tyler meets his goal, he will do a total of 13 more squats and pushups than he does now, thus

(30+1.2x)-(25+x)=13\\ \\30+1.2x-25-x=13\\ \\1.2x-x=13-30+25\\ \\0.2x=8\\ \\2x=80\\ \\x=40
