Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) E(X) =\mu= np = 9*0.7=6.3

Sd(X) =\sigma= \sqrt{np(1-p)}= \sqrt{9*0.7*(1-0.7)}=1.375

c) For the case n= 6

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9891

For the case n= 5

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9692

So then we need at least  n=5 or n=6 to satisfy the condition required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=9, p=0.7)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Part a

For this case we can use the following R code:

> x <- seq(0,9,by = 1)

> y <- dbinom(x,9,0.7)

> plot(x,y,main="Histogram",type = "h")

And we can see on the figure attached the solution.

We see that the higher probabilities are from 4 to 9

Part b

The expected value is given by:

E(X) =\mu= np = 9*0.7=6.3

The variance is given by:

Var (X) =\sigma^2= np(1-p) = 9*0.7*(1-0.7)= 1.89

And the standard deviation is:

Sd(X) =\sigma= \sqrt{np(1-p)}= \sqrt{9*0.7*(1-0.7)}=1.375

Part c

First we can find the probability that at least two addresses will be found in the list of 9 that we have like this:

P(X \geq 2)

We can use the complement rule and we have:

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X

We find the indicidual probabilities:

P(X=0)=(9C0)(0.7)^0 (1-0.7)^{9-0}=0.00001968

P(X=1)=(9C1)(0.7)^1 (1-0.7)^{9-1}=0.000413

P(X \geq 2) = 1-[0.00001968+0.000413]=0.9996

If we use the case of n=8 and we find P(X\leq 2), we got:

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9987

For the case n= 7

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9962

For the case n= 6

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9891

For the case n= 5

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9692

So then we need at least  n=5 or n=6 to satisfy the condition required.

Suppose the heights of the members of a population follow a normal distribution. If the mean height of the population is 68 inch
Irina18 [472]

The empirical rule states that at 95% the measurements would be within 2 standard deviations of the mean.


You are given a mean of 68 inches and a standard deviation of 4.

2 times the standard deviation = 2 x 4 = 8

So 95% of the heights would be between 68-8 = 60 inches and 68+8 = 76 inches.

Answer:

At the average rate of making profit, it will take slightly more than 30 hours for the business to reach a profit goal of $500. (30.075)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) It is not clear what linear equation is desired. We are given enough information to write an equation relating the number of bracelets produced by each worker to the time it takes.

Let n represent the number of bracelets Danica produces. Let r represent the number of bracelets Darrelle produces. Let h represent time in hours.

.. r/3 = h/4 ... Darrelle produces 3 bracelets in 4 hours

.. 4r - 3h = 0 ... equation in standard form

.. r = (3/4)h ... equation in slope-intercept form (the intercept is 0)

.. n/5 = h/2 ... Danica produces 5 bracelets in 2 hours

.. 2n - 5h = 0 ... equation in standard form

.. n = (5/2)h ... equation in slope-intercept form

b) We have no idea what special functions were discussed in the course. Of course these equations can be graphed. (2-dimensional equations are easily graphed.)

c) A profit function can be written in terms of the number of bracelets produced. Then it can be solved to find when (h=?) profit is equal to $500.

.. Let p represent the total profit from production of bracelets.

.. p = 10.50*r + 3.50*n ... profit in terms of bracelets produced

.. p = 10.50*((3/4)h) + 3.50*((5/2)h) ... profit in terms of hours, where both work the same hours

.. p = 16.625 h

.. 500 = 16.625 h ... we want to find hours until $500 profit

.. 500/16.625 = h ≈ 30.0752

At the average rate of making profit, it will take slightly more than 30 hours for the business to reach a profit goal of $500.

_____

If you work out the timing of when bracelets are finished, assuming they are made at a constant rate, you find that there will be 23 of Darrelle's bracelets and 76 of Danica's bracelets finished in 30 hours and 40 minutes. These will yield a profit of $507.50. After another 8 minutes, Danica will have finished bracelet 77 to add another $3.50 to the profit total.
