Heinrich is a vacuum cleaner salesman. For each vacuum cleaner he sells, he receives $7. If he sells between 30 and 40 vacuum cl

eaners a month, about how much will he earn in a month?

Hi! This is just a simple multiplication problem!

So he recieves 7 dollars for each vacuum cleaner therefore we must multiply 7 by the amount he sells.

7*30 =210

7*35=245

7*40 280

That means he will earn somewhere between 210 dollars - 280 dollars

Hope this helped!

A particular concentration of a chemical found in polluted water has been found to be lethal to 20% of the fish that are exposed

torisob [31]

Answer:

a) $P(X=14)=(20C14)(0.8)^{14} (1-0.8)^{20-14}=0.109$

b) $P(X\geq 10) = 1-P(X \leq 9) = 0.9994$

c) $P(X \leq 16)= 1-P(X>16) =1-P(X \geq 17)= 1- [P(X=17) +...+P(X=20)]=0.589$

d) $E(X)= np = 20 *0.8 = 16$

$Var(X) = np(1-p) = 20*0.8*(1-0.8) = 3.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=20, p=1-0.2=0.8)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

Part a

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X=14)$

And using the mass function we have this:

$P(X=14)=(20C14)(0.8)^{14} (1-0.8)^{20-14}=0.109$

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X \geq 10)$

And we can find this using the complement rule:

$P(X\geq 10) = 1-P(X$

$P(X=0)=(20C0)(0.8)^{0} (1-0.8)^{20-0}=1.05x10^{-14}$

$P(X=1)=(20C1)(0.8)^{1} (1-0.8)^{20-1}=8.39x10^{-13}$

$P(X=2)=(20C2)(0.8)^{2} (1-0.8)^{20-2}=3.19x10^{-11}$

$P(X=3)=(20C3)(0.8)^{3} (1-0.8)^{20-3}=7.65x10^{-10}$

$P(X=4)=(20C4)(0.8)^{4} (1-0.8)^{20-4}=1.30x10^{-8}$

$P(X=5)=(20C5)(0.8)^{5} (1-0.8)^{20-5}=1.66x10^{-7}$

$P(X=6)=(20C6)(0.8)^{6} (1-0.8)^{20-6}=1.66x10^{-6}$

$P(X=7)=(20C7)(0.8)^{7} (1-0.8)^{20-7}=1.33x10^{-5}$

$P(X=8)=(20C8)(0.8)^{8} (1-0.8)^{20-8}=8.65x10^{-5}$

$P(X=9)=(20C9)(0.8)^{9} (1-0.8)^{20-9}=0.00046$

And if we replace we got:

$P(X\geq 10) = 1-P(X \leq 9) = 0.9994$

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X \leq 16)$

And we can use the complement rule like this:

$P(X \leq 16)= 1-P(X>16) =1-P(X \geq 17)= 1- [P(X=17) +...+P(X=20)]$

$P(X=17)=(20C17)(0.8)^{17} (1-0.8)^{20-17}=0.205$

$P(X=18)=(20C18)(0.8)^{18} (1-0.8)^{20-18}=0.137$

$P(X=19)=(20C19)(0.8)^{19} (1-0.8)^{20-19}=0.0576$

$P(X=20)=(20C20)(0.8)^{20} (1-0.8)^{20-20}=0.0115$

And if we replace we got:

$P(X \leq 16)= 1-P(X>16) =1-P(X \geq 17)= 1- [P(X=17) +...+P(X=20)]=0.589$

Part d

The expected value is given by:

$E(X)= np = 20 *0.8 = 16$

$Var(X) = np(1-p) = 20*0.8*(1-0.8) = 3.2$

Is 104.12 greater than 104.002

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Yes, 104.12 is greater than 104.002

because 104.12 rounds up to 104.1
and 104.002 rounds up to 104.0
