Answer:

D.

Combination; number of ways = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation is when order matters

Combinations is when order doesn't matter.

Since there are two identical gift cards, it doesn't matter who  gets the first gift card and who gets the second gift card, so this is a combination

There are 5 people choose 2

n!

--------

r!(n − r)!

where n is the number of items and r is how many we choose

5!              5*4*3*2*1

--------    = ------------------  = 10

2! (5-2)!      2*1  ( 3*2*1)

D.

Combination; number of ways = 10

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

P(X=3) = 2.5^3 \frac{e^{-2.5}}{3!}=0.214

Step-by-step explanation:

Definitions and concepts

The Poisson process is useful when we want to analyze the probability of ocurrence of an event in a time specified. The probability distribution for a random variable X following the Poisson distribution is given by:

P(X=x) =\lambda^x \frac{e^{-\lambda}}{x!}

And the parameter \lambda represent the average ocurrence rate per unit of time

For this case we know that \lambda =0.5 cars/min

And we want the probability that during the next five minutes, three cars will arrive, so then our rate becomes:

\lambda = 0.5 \frac{cars}{min}* 5 min = 2.5 cars

And we want this probability:

P(X=3)

And if we use the pmf we got:

P(X=3) = 2.5^3 \frac{e^{-2.5}}{3!}=0.214

I got it incorrect so please help for where each one goes
OLEGan [10]

The first one is right and the third one is right, but you need to switch the 15% and the 95%.

In #2, it's asking for the kids that <em>are not</em> Michael, so it'd be 18/19. Which is then rounded to roughly 95%.

#4 asks for 6/40 = 15%

djyliett [7]

Answer:

More than 50% would germinate

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in the production of a plant, a treatment is being evaluated to germinate seed. From a total of 60 seed it was observed that 37 of them germinated

Let us check whether more than 50% will germinate using hypothesis test

H_0: p = 0.50\\H_a: p>0.50\\

(right tailed test)

Sample proportion p =\frac{37}{60} =0.617\\q = 0.383\\Std error = \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } =0.0628

p difference = 0.117

Test statistic Z = p difference/std error = 1.864

p value =0.0312

Since p value <0.05 our significance level of 5% we reject null hypothesis

It is  possible to claim that most of the seed will germinate (i.e. more than 50%)

Divide a fraction by 1/2 the result was a mixed number was the original fraction less than or greater than 1/2
aliina [53]
Your original fraction was probably greater than 1/2 because if it was less than you wouldn't be able to divide it.
