Answer:
(a) 0.00605
(b) 0.0403
(c) 0.9536
(d) 0.98809
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that 40% of first-round appeals were successful (The Wall Street Journal, October 22, 2012) and suppose ten first-round appeals have just been received by a Medicare appeals office.
This situation can be represented through Binomial distribution as;
where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 10
r = number of success
p = probability of success which in our question is % of first-round
appeals that were successful, i.e.; 40%
So, here X ~
(a) Probability that none of the appeals will be successful = P(X = 0)
P(X = 0) =
= = 0.00605
(b) Probability that exactly one of the appeals will be successful = P(X = 1)
P(X = 1) =
= = 0.0403
(c) Probability that at least two of the appeals will be successful = P(X>=2)
P(X >= 2) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1)
= 1 -
= 1 - 0.00605 - 0.0403 = 0.9536
(d) Probability that more than half of the appeals will be successful = P(X > 0.5)
For this probability we will convert our distribution into normal such that;
X ~ N()
and standard normal z has distribution as;
Z = ~ N(0,1)
P(X > 0.5) = P( >
) = P(Z > -2.26) = P(Z < 2.26) = 0.98809
With no limiting factors to the growth of the plants, the number of months have passed since the plants were first introduced is 23.1.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>Exponential function is the function in which the function growth or decay with the power of the independent variable. The curve of the exponential function depends on the value of its variable.
A type of plant is introduced into an ecosystem and quickly begins to take over.
A scientist counts the number of plants after m months and develops the equation to model the situation, which is given as,
Most recently, the scientist counted 138 plants.
Taking log both sides of the equation,
Thus, with no limiting factors to the growth of the plants, the number of months have passed since the plants were first introduced is 23.1.
