Answer:

a) The probability that exactly 17 of them enroll in college is 0.116.

b) The probability that more than 14 enroll in college is 0.995.

c) The probability that fewer than 11 enroll in college is 0.001.

d) It would be be unusual if more than 24 of them enroll in college since the probability is 0.009.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this with a binomial distribution, with n=29 and p=0.65.

The probability that k students from the sample who graduated from high school in 2012 enrolled in college is:

P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}\\\\\\P(x=k) = \dbinom{29}{k} 0.65^{k} 0.35^{29-k}\\\\\\

a) The probability that exactly 17 of them enroll in college is:

P(x=17) = \dbinom{29}{17} p^{17}(1-p)^{12}=51895935*0.0007*0=0.116\\\\\\

b) The probability that more than 14 of them enroll in college is:

P(X>14)=\sum_{15}^{29} P(X=k_i)=1-\sum_{0}^{14} P(X=k_i)\\\\\\P(x=0)=0\\\\P(x=1)=0\\\\P(x=2)=0\\\\P(x=3)=0\\\\P(x=4)=0\\\\P(x=5)=0\\\\P(x=6)=0\\\\P(x=7)=0\\\\P(x=8)=0\\\\P(x=9)=0\\\\P(x=10)=0.001\\\\P(x=11)=0.002\\\\P(x=12)=0.005\\\\P(x=13)=0.013\\\\P(x=14)=0.027\\\\\\P(X>14)=1-0.005=0.995

c) Using the probabilities calculated in the point b, we  have:

P(X

d) The probabilities that more than 24 enroll in college is:

P(X>24)=\sum_{25}^{29}P(X=k_i)\\\\\\ P(x=25) = \dbinom{29}{25} p^{25}(1-p)^{4}=23751*0*0.015=0.007\\\\\\P(x=26) = \dbinom{29}{26} p^{26}(1-p)^{3}=3654*0*0.043=0.002\\\\\\P(x=27) = \dbinom{29}{27} p^{27}(1-p)^{2}=406*0*0.123=0\\\\\\P(x=28) = \dbinom{29}{28} p^{28}(1-p)^{1}=29*0*0.35=0\\\\\\P(x=29) = \dbinom{29}{29} p^{29}(1-p)^{0}=1*0*1=0\\\\\\\\P(X>24)=0.007+0.002+0+0+0=0.009

if a cylinder with height 9 inches and radius r is filled with water, it can fill a certain pitcher. how many of these pitchers
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

4 pitchers

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cylinder is equal to

V=\pi r^{2}h

step 1

Find the volume of the cylinder  with height 9 inches and radius r

substitute the given values

V_1=\pi r^{2}(9)

V_1=9\pi r^{2}\ in^3

step 2

Find the volume of the cylinder  with height 9 inches and radius 2r

substitute the given values

V_2=\pi (2r)^{2}(9)

V_2=36\pi r^{2}\ in^3

step 3

we know that

The volume of the cylinder 1 can fill a certain pitcher,

so

The volume of the pitcher is the same that the volume of cylinder 1

therefore

the number of pitchers that can be filled by the second cylinder is equal to divide the volume of the second cylinder by the volume of the first cylinder

\frac{36\pi r^{2}}{9\pi r^{2}}=4\ pitchers

Mrs.Cheng has $18 deducted monthly from checking account for her gym membership. What integer represents the change in her accou
Vikki [24]
First you would have to multiply $18 (The cost for each month) and 12 (the number of months in a year) and the answer would be 216
So she deducts 216 a year, so the answer would have to be negative

The final answer is -216
