83/127 = x/900
127x = 74700
x = 74700/127
x = 588.1 rounds to 588

588 - 0.05(588) = 558.6 rounds to 559
588 + 0.05(588) = 617.4 rounds to 617

range is C. 559 to 617

(a) A survey of the adults in a town shows that 8% have liver problems. Of these, it is also found that 25% are heavy drinkers,
jekas [21]

Answer:

The probability that the selected adult has liver problems is 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, from the data given, we want to calculate the probability that an adult selected at random has liver problems.

Let E(L) be the event that an adult has liver problems.

The probability is directly obtainable from the question and it is given as 8%

Thus, the probability that the selected adult has liver problems; P(L) = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08

The U.S. and many other countries have recently tightened airport security. A sociologist is interested in estimating the propor
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

0.0073 < 0.05, which means that we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the true proportion of interest is higher than 0.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conduct a test to determine whether the true proportion of interest is higher than 0.7.

This means that the null hypothesis is: H_{0}: p = 0.7

And the alternate hypothesis is: H_{a}: p > 0.7

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.7 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0.7, \sigma = \sqrt{0.7*0.3}

The sociologist found that 375 of the 500 travelers randomly selected and interviewed indicated that the airports were safe.

This means that n = 500, X = \frac{375}{500} = 0.75

Value of the z-statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{0.75 - 0.7}{\frac{\sqrt{0.7*0.3}}{\sqrt{350}}}

z = 2.44

P-value of the test:

Probability of z being larger than 2.44, that is, a proportion larger than 0.75.

This is, looking at the z-table, 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z = 2.44. S

Z = 2.44 has a pvalue of 0.9927

1 - 0.9927 = 0.0073

0.0073 < 0.05, which means that we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the true proportion of interest is higher than 0.7.

On a hospital floor, 16 patients have a disease with a mortality rate of 0.1. Find the probability that two of them die. Round t
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The probability that two of them

die is 0.257

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have that the mortality rate is 0.1

So the probability that they will survive is 1-0.1 = 0.9

Now, we want to check that two will die

We are going you use the Bernoulli approximation of the Binomial theorem as follows

= nCr * p^n * q^(n-r)

where n = 16

r = 2

P = 0.1

q = 0.9

Substituting these values;

14 C 2 * 0.1^2 * 0.9^12

= 0.257

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\sqrt{126x^{13}}=3x^6\sqrt{14x}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain:\ x\geq0\\\\\sqrt{126x^{13}}=\sqrt{9\cdot14\cdot x^{12+1}}\\\\\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\=\sqrt{9\cdot14\cdot x^{12}\cdot x^1}=\sqrt{9\cdot14\cdot x^{6\cdot2}\cdot x}\\\\\text{use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\ \text{and}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\=\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt{14}\cdot\sqrt{(x^6)^2}\cdot\sqrt{x}\\\\\text{use}\ \sqrt{a^2}=a\ \text{for}\ a\geq0\\\\=3\cdot\sqrt{14}\cdot x^6\cdot\sqrt{x}=3x^6\sqrt{14x}
