Of all individual tax returns, 37 percent include errors made by the taxpayer. If IRS examiners are assigned randomly selected r

eturns in batches of 12, find the mean and standard deviation for the number of erroneous returns per batch.

Answer:

mean=4.44

standard deviation=1.67

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean and standard deviation for the number of erroneous returns per batch can be calculated using binomial distribution. The binomial distribution is used because

i) There are one of two possible outcomes( error or no error) that can be categorized into success and failure.

ii) The experiment is repeated fix number of times 12.

iii) The probability of success remains constant at each trial i.e. 37%

iv) The trails are independent.The mean and standard deviation of binomial distribution are np and √npq

Here, n=12, p=0.37 and q=1-0.37=0.63

mean=12*0.37=4.44

standard deviation=√12*0.37*0.63=√2.8=1.67

Prove A-(BnC) = (A-B)U(A-C), explain with an example

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Prove set equality by showing that for any element $x$ , $x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))$ if and only if $x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))$ .

Example:

$A = \lbrace 0,\, 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace$ .

$B = \lbrace0,\, 1 \rbrace$ .

$C = \lbrace0,\, 2 \rbrace$ .

$\begin{aligned} & A \backslash (B \cap C) \\ =\; & \lbrace 0,\, 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace \backslash \lbrace 0 \rbrace \\ =\; & \lbrace 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}& (A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C) \\ =\; & \lbrace 2,\, 3\rbrace \cup \lbrace 1,\, 3 \rbrace \\ =\; & \lbrace 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace\end{aligned}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Proof for $[x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))] \implies [x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))]$ for any element $x$ :

Assume that $x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))$ . Thus, $x \in A$ and $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ .

Since $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ , either $x \not \in B$ or $x \not \in C$ (or both.)

If $x \not \in B$ , then combined with $x \in A$ , $x \in (A \backslash B)$ .
Similarly, if $x \not \in C$ , then combined with $x \in A$ , $x \in (A \backslash C)$ .

Thus, either $x \in (A \backslash B)$ or $x \in (A \backslash C)$ (or both.)

Therefore, $x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))$ as required.

Proof for $[x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))] \implies [x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))]$ :

Assume that $x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))$ . Thus, either $x \in (A \backslash B)$ or $x \in (A \backslash C)$ (or both.)

If $x \in (A \backslash B)$ , then $x \in A$ and $x \not \in B$ . Notice that $(x \not \in B) \implies (x \not \in (B \cap C))$ since the contrapositive of that statement, $(x \in (B \cap C)) \implies (x \in B)$ , is true. Therefore, $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ and thus $x \in A \backslash (B \cap C)$ .
Otherwise, if $x \in A \backslash C$ , then $x \in A$ and $x \not \in C$ . Similarly, $x \not \in C \!$ implies $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ . Therefore, $x \in A \backslash (B \cap C)$ .

Either way, $x \in A \backslash (B \cap C)$ .

Therefore, $x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))$ implies $x \in A \backslash (B \cap C)$ , as required.

GIVING OUT BRAINLIEST ANSWER !! HELP ME OUT PLSS!!

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

x = 7 hope this helps !!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Type 1: You know the short leg (the side across from the 30-degree angle). Double its length to find the hypotenuse. You can multiply the short side by the square root of 3 to find the long leg.

Type 2: You know the hypotenuse. Divide the hypotenuse by 2 to find the short side. Multiply this answer by the square root of 3 to find the long leg.

Type 3: You know the long leg (the side across from the 60-degree angle). Divide this side by the square root of 3 to find the short side. Double that figure to find the hypotenuse.

this is a type 3 triangle, and you can find the length of y from it, it being 14, and x is half of y, being 7

A knitter with 14 skeins of yarn can make 7 scarves

Explanation:
We can use a proportion to solve this

4 skeins of yarn
-----------------------
2 scarves

That is the information we know. What we want to do is find out how many scarves for 14 skeins of yarn, like this

4 14
-- = ---
2 ?

To get from 4 to 14, you multiply by 3.5. We must to the same thing to the bottom as well. So we multiply 2 by 3.5, which gives us 7

x3.5
4 14
-- = ---
2 7
x3.5
