First, we need to add up all the quantities in ounces. 10 + 14 + 40 = 64. One pound = 16 ounces. 64 / 16 = 4, so the total weight in pounds is 4 lbs.

Suppose you have an experiment where you flip a coin three times. You then count the number of heads. a.)State the random variab

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

a) X=number of heads observed when flipped the coin 3 times

b) the probability distribution is

P(X=x) = 3/4 * (1/[(3-x)!*x!)])

or

P(X)=1/8 for x=0 and x=3 and P(X)=3/8 for x=1 and x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

the random variable will be X=number of heads observed when flipped the coin 3 times . Since the result from each flip is independent of the others , then X has a binomial probability distribution , such that

P(X=x)= n!/[(n-x)!*x!)*p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)

where

n= number of times the coin is flipped = 3

p= probability of getting heads in a flip of the coin = 1/2 (assuming that the coin is fair)

therefore

P(X=x)= 3!/[(3-x)!*x!)*(1/2)^(3-x) * (1/2)^x = 3!/[(3-x)!*x!) * (1/2)³ = 3/4 * (1/[(3-x)!*x!)])

P(X=x)= 3/4 * (1/[(3-x)!*x!)]) , for x=[0,1,2,3]

for x=0 and x=3 → P(X)=3/4 * (1/[3!*0!)]) = 1/8

for x=1 and x=2 → P(X)=3/4 * (1/[2!*1!)]) = 3/8

we can verify that is correct since the sum of all the probabilities from x=0 to x=3 is 1/8 + 3/8+ 3/8+ 1/8 = 1

If 33% of the members of Sweetheart Union sign petitions to decertify the union, the National Labor Relations Board will call an

Elis [28]

Answer:

There is no need to call for election.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Surveys are based on probability or statistics. It serves as a standard tool for experimental research in marketing, social sciences and official data statistics.

Since 8 out of 40 members of the Sweetheart Union will sign the petition, the percentage of those who will sign the petition is calculated below:

$\frac{8}{40}*100=20\%$

Based on the sample survey, only 20 percent of the members will sign the petition. Since, in the sample, the number of those who will sign is less than 33%, the union should be told that there is no need for the National Labor Relations Board to call for the election.
