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

A giraffe can travel 800 feet in 20 seconds. Write a direct variation equation for the distance traveled any time | Please expla
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
The direct variation equation is:
d=kt
where d is the distance that the giraffe travels
k is the constant of variation
and t is time
Now we are told that the giraffe can travel 800 ft in 20 seconds, so we can solve for the constant of variation (k)
800=k(20) divide both sides by 20
k=40-------------and the units are ft per sec
So now we can write
d=40t
ck
d=40t
800ft=40*20 ft
800 ft= 800 ft

Hope this helps!

Answer:

what is the hypothesis claim?

hypothesis is basically what you expect to happen, so I guess if your hypothesis is similar to the data you've collected yes it does support it.
