Answer: 0.84
Step-by-step explanation:
let p be the population proportion of adults who smoked a cigarette in the past week.
As per given , we have
Sample size : n= 1491
The sample proportion of adults smoked a cigarette= 
The test statistic for proportion is given by :-
Substitute all the values , we get
Hence, the value of the test statistic = 0.84
The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.
"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":
The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.
"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."
The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.
Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.
That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.
0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x
Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.
0.75x + 1.5 = x
-0.25x = -1.5
x = 6
The total amount of candies was 6 lb.
The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.
The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
First you have to find a common denominator which is 4.
6 2/4 + 3 1/4 = 9 3/4
So your final answer is 9 3/4
Hope this helps!!!!
a. "Chocolate" and "Adults" (whatever those mean) will be independent as long as
"Chocolate" has the marginal distribution given by the second column, with a total probability of
. Similarly, "Adults" has the marginal distribution described by the third row, so that
. Then
Meanwhile, the joint probability of "Chocolate" and "Adults" is given by the cell in the corresponding row/column, with
.
The probabilities match, so these events are indeed independent.
Parts (b) and (c) are checked similarly.
b. Yes;
c. Yes;
Answer: 40 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Total planks = 20
By using integers, Steps forward is represented by +5, Steps backward s represented by -4.
After first set of two steps ( one forward another backward), 5-4 =1 step forward is captured.
For 20 planks , we require 20 such sets, i.e. he will do this 2x 20 times i.e. 40 times.
Hence, he will do this 40 times to reach the other side.
