(2 12)-3 6)parethesis two plus twelve parethesis subtraction three plus six

1 answer:

8 0

You should use Order of Operations or PEDMAS for this (Parenthesis, Exponents, Division and Multiplication in the order they appear, Addition and Subtraction in the order they appear). So we do the 2+12 because that is in parentheses first which gives 14-3+6. Next we do 14-3 because there are no exponents and no division or multiplication, which gives 11+6. This yields your answer, 17.

(43 points) In the US, 85% of the population has Rh positive blood. Suppose we take a random sample of 6 persons and let Y denot

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

a) Binomial distribution with parameters p=0.85 q=0.15 n=6

b) 62.29%

c) 2.38%

d) See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

We could model this situation with a binomial distribution

$P(6;k)=\binom{6}{k}p^kq^{6-k}$

where P(6;k) is the probability of finding exactly k people out of 6 with Rh positive, p is the probability of finding one person with Rh positive and q=(1-p) the probability of finding a person with no Rh.

$\bf P(Y=k)=\binom{6}{k}(0.85)^k(0.15)^{6-k}$

The probability that Y is less than 6 is

P(Y=0)+P(Y=1)+...+P(Y=5)

Let's compute each of these terms

$P(Y=0)=P(6;0)=\binom{6}{0}(0.85)^0(0.15)^{6}=1.139*10^{-5}$

$P(Y=1)=P(6;1)=\binom{6}{1}(0.85)^1(0.15)^{5}=0.0000387281$

$P(Y=2)=P(6;2)=\binom{6}{2}(0.85)^2(0.15)^{4}=0.005486484$

$P(Y=3)=P(6;3)=\binom{6}{3}(0.85)^3(0.15)^{3}=0.041453438$

$P(Y=4)=P(6;4)=\binom{6}{4}(0.85)^4(0.15)^{2}=0.176177109$

$P(Y=5)=P(6;5)=\binom{6}{5}(0.85)^5(0.15)^{1}=0.399334781$

and adding up these values we have that the probability that Y is less than 6 is

$\sum_{i=1}^{5}P(Y=i)=0.622850484\approx 0.6229=62.29\%$

In this case is a binomial distribution with n=200 instead of 6.

p and q remain the same.

The mean of this sample would be 85% of 200 = 170.

In a binomial distribution, the standard deviation is

$s = \sqrt{npq}$

In this case

$\sqrt{200(0.85)(0.15)}=5.05$

<em>Let's approximate the distribution with a normal distribution with mean 170 and standard deviation 5.05</em>

So, the approximate probability that there are fewer than 160 persons with Rh positive blood in a sample of 200 would be the area under the normal curve to the left of 160

(see picture attached)

We can compute that area with a computer and find it is

0.0238 or 2.38%

d)<em> In order to approximate a binomial distribution with a normal distribution we need a large sample like the one taken in c).</em>

In general, we can do this if the sample of size n the following inequalities hold:

$np\geq 5 \;and\;nq \geq 5$

in our case np = 200*0.85 = 170 and nq = 200*0.15 = 30

Jailed has 60 dimes and 60 nickels

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

75 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

60 dimes is 600 cents or $6, 60 nickels is 300 cents or $3. when we add them together we have $9 and we need 9.75 so we need 75 cents more.

1. The triangles above are similar. What is the ratio (larger to smaller) of the perimeters? (1 point)

eimsori [14]

Answer:

Ratio = 5/3

The ratio (larger to smaller) of the perimeters is 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached is an image of the two triangles.

Since both triangles are similar, the ratio of their perimeter is equal to the ratio of each similar sides.

Ratio = P1/P2 = S1/S2

Similar side for triangle 1 S1 = 15ft

Similar side for triangle 2 S2 = 9ft

Substituting the values;

Ratio = 15ft/9ft = 5/3

Ratio = 5/3

The ratio (larger to smaller) of the perimeters is 5/3
