A researcher wishes to conduct a study of the color preferences of new car buyers. Suppose that 50% of this population prefers t

Answer:

Probability that exactly 15 buyers out of 20 will prefer red is 0.0148.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem has binomial probability distribution.

So probability of success ( population preferring Red colour) i.e.  p = 50% = 0.5

therefore probability of failure ( population preferring  other colors ) i.e. q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

20 buyers are selected at random, therefore n = 20.

We need to find the probability that exactly 15 buyers would prefer red and so r = 15 and it is given by,

P( X = r ) = n_C_r \times p^{r}\times q^{n-r}

So, P ( X = 15 ) =  {20}_C_{15} \times 0.5^{15}\times 0.5^{20-15} = {20}_C_{15} \times 0.5^{15}\times 0.5^{5} = 0.0148

C. 20x = 200 because an equation always has an equal sign and other three are expressions because it doesn't have any signs, hoped this helped:)

Suppose that your test statistic is t(99 ) = -2.8888. Round the test statistic to two places after the decimal point.
Scrat [10]

Answer:

t(99)= -2.89

Step-by-step explanation:

-To places after the decimal point is equivalent to rounding off to the nearest hundredth.

-To round off to the nearest hundredth, we check the thousandths digit:

  • If the thousandths digit is less than5, we round down to the previous hundredth.
  • If the thousandths digit is greater than 4, we round up to the next hundredth:

Hence,-2.8888\approx-2.89

seraphim [82]

Answer:

y=2x+11

Step-by-step explanation:

You first have to distribute the 2 to (x+7) to get y+3=2x+14. after that all you have to do is subtract both sides of the equation by 3 to get y=2x+11
