Suppose that 30% of all students who have to buy a text for a particular course want a new copy (the successes!), whereas the ot

her 70% want a used copy. Consider randomly selecting 15 purchasers.
(a) What are the mean value and standard deviation of the number who want a new copy of the book?(b) What is the probability that the number who want new copies is more than two standard deviations away from the mean value?

Answer:

a. Mean = 4.5, Standard Deviation = 1.775

b. 0.0152

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n = 15 purchasers

p = Success = 30%

p = 0.3

q =Failure = 70%

q = 0.7

a.

Mean = np

Mean = 15 * 0.3

Mean = 4.5

Standard Deviation = √Variance

Variance = npq

Variance = 15 * 0.3 * 0.7

Variance = 3.15

Standard Deviation = √3.15

Standard Deviation = 1.774823934929884

Standard Deviation = 1.775 ---------- Approximated

b.

The probability that the number who want new copies is more than two standard deviations away from the mean value

Standard Deviation = 1.775

Mean = 4.5

2 Standard Deviation and Mean = 2 * 1.775 + 4.5

= 3.55 + 4.5

= 8.05

P(X>8.05) = P(9) + P(10) +........+ P(15)

Using the binomial distribution

(p + q) ^ n where p = 0.3, q = 0.7 , n = 15

Expanding (p+q)^n where n = 15 and r > 8

We have

15C9 p^9 q^6 + 15C10 p^10 q^5 + 15C11 p^11 q⁴ + 15C12 p^12 q³ + 15C13 p^13 q² + 15C14 p^14 q + p^15

= 5005 (0.3)^9 (0.7)^6 + 3003 (0.3)^10 (0.7)^5 + 1365 (0.3)^11 (0.7)⁴ + 455 (0.3)^12 (0.7)³ + 105 (0.3)^14 (0.7)² + 15 (0.3)^14 (0.7) + 0.3^15

=0.015234

Answer:

x+20⩾50

Step-by-step explanation:

in inequality, the word at least means that is equal or more than. so that means that Allie might equal or more than 50 hours in the model but if you're to solve it, Allie will need 30 or more hours. and since she already has 20, add the 20.

I need help brainliest!!!
ratelena [41]

Answer:

First one: function and linear

Second one: function and non-linear

Third one: not a function and linear

Step-by-step explanation:

• The first one is set in the linear function formula y=mx+b, so it is a linear function.

• The second one is a non-linear because functions with exponents have different shapes and can intersect more than once unline linear functions.

• The third one isn't a function but it is linear because it isn't set equal to a variable and it would become a linear if you simply it to isolate a variable.

I hope this helps!!!
