An online test of English spelling looked at how well people spelled difficult words. The bar graph to the right shows how many

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

60 ; 5220

Step-by-step explanation:

A) From the horizontal bar chart provided, it could be inferred that 85 people spell the word 'weird' correctly. The graph is scaled on a fixed interval of 10. Hence, the midpoint of 10 = 5

(80 + 5) = 85

B) In a group consisting of 8719 randomly selected people estimate how many more people can correctly spell weird than inoculate

From the graph :

85 per 100 could spell weird correctly while,

About 25 per 100 could spell inoculate correctly.

Difference In number per 100 people

(85 - 25) = 60 people per 100

We could round 8719 to the nearest 100 = 8700

Number of 100's in 8700 = 8700/100 = 87

(87 × 60) = 5,220 people

A research team conducted a study showing that approximately 15% of all businessmen who wear ties wear them so tightly that they

Answer:

a) 0.913

b) 0.397

c) 0.087

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat wearing tie too tight as a success.

P(Tight tie) = 15% = 0.15

Then the number of businessmen follows a binomial distribution, where

$P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}$

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 15

We have to evaluate:

a) at least one tie is too tight

$P(x \geq 1) = P(x = 1) +....+ P(x = 15)\\=1 - P(x = 0)\\= 1 - \binom{15}{0}(0.15)^0(1-0.15)^{15}\\=1 - 0.087\\= 0.913$

b) more than two ties are too tight

$P(x > 2) = P(x = 3) +....+ P(x = 15)\\=1 - P(x = 0) - P(x=1) - P(x=2)\\= 1 - \binom{15}{0}(0.15)^0(1-0.15)^{15}-\binom{15}{1}(0.15)^1(1-0.15)^{14}-\binom{15}{0}(0.15)^2(1-0.15)^{13}\\=1 - 0.087 - 0.231 - 0.285\\= 0.397$
