Answer:

P(X\geq90) =0.00878

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation can be modeled by a binomial distribution of parameters:

p = 0.8\\\\q = 0.2\\\\n = 100

We want to find the probability that at least 90 are in repair.

<u><em>We can approximate this problem to a normal distribution, where:</em></u>

\mu = np

\mu = 80

\sigma = \sqrt{npq}\\\\\sigma = 4

Then we look for

P(X\geq90) = P(X>90 -0.5)\\\\P(X\geq90) = P(X>89.5)

Then we must find the normal standard statistic Z-score

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

Therefore:

P(X>89.5) = P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{89.5-80}{4})\\\\P(X>89.5) =P(Z>2.375)

Looking in the standard normal table we obtain:

P(Z>2.375) = 0.00878

Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous. a. The distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit.
vodomira [7]

Answer and explanation:

Discrete random variables can be counted as integers and you can't divide them. Continuous random variables are counted as real numbers and are magnitudes that can´t be counted as an exact number (there will always be an uncertainty in the measurement).

a. The random variable is continuous. Distance is a measurement.

b. The random variable is discrete. You can count how many people are sitting at a computer.

c. The random variable is continuous. Weight is a measurement.

d. The random variable is discrete. You can count how many fishes were caught.

e. The random variable is discrete. You can count how many hints a web site had.

What is the sum of the measures of the interior angles formed by the boundary of this team pennant?
Debora [2.8K]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The <span>sum of the measures of the interior angles formed by the boundary of this team pennant should be 180 degrees since all triangles has a sum of interior angles which is 180 degrees. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Amir started a business with john and jack. Amir invested 2/6 of the amount to start a business. John 2/5 of the investment. The
Nonamiya [84]

First, we need to add 2/6 and 2/5.

2/6 can be simplified to 1/3

We need to have 1/3 and 2/5 have the same denominator. 3 and 5's LCM (least common multiply) is 15.

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5. This equals 5/15.

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 2/5 by 3. This equals 6/15.

5/15 plus 6/15 is 11/15. This means that Jack's 6000 dollars is 4/15.

Let's say that x is the total amount invested by all three.

6000/x would equal 4/15.

Solve this by multiply 6000 by 15 and 4 by x and making these two equal each other.

90000 would equal 4x. Divide both sides by 4 to get x.

90000 divided by 4 would be 22500.

4/15 is the fraction by Jack

22500 is the total amount invested by all 3

A fuel tank contains 1 3/4 gallons of gasoline. Casey adds 33 1/3 gallons of
romanna [79]

Answer:

The gallons of gas the tank contain now is <u>35 1/12</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fuel tank contains 1 3/4 gallons of gasoline.

Casey adds 33 1/3 gallons of  gasoline to the tank.

Now, to find the total gallons of gas the tank contain.

Converting the mixed fractions into improper.

Gallons of gasoline in fuel tank =1\frac{3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}.

Gallons of gasoline Casey adds =33\frac{1}{3} =\frac{100}{3}.

<u>According to question:</u>

By adding we get the total gallons of gasoline now tank contain:

\frac{7}{4} +\frac{100}{3}

=\frac{7\times 3+100\times 4}{12}

=\frac{21+400}{12}

=\frac{421}{12}

=35\frac{1}{12}

Therefore, the gallons of gas the tank contain now is 35 1/12.
