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;

$P(X=r)= \binom{n}{r}p^{r}(1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,....$

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 ~ $Binom(n=10,p=0.40)$

(a) Probability that none of the appeals will be successful = P(X = 0)

P(X = 0) = $\binom{10}{0}0.40^{0}(1-0.40)^{10-0}$

= $1*0.6^{10}$ = 0.00605

(b) Probability that exactly one of the appeals will be successful = P(X = 1)

P(X = 1) = $\binom{10}{1}0.40^{1}(1-0.40)^{10-1}$

= $10*0.4^{1} *0.6^{10-1}$ = 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 - $\binom{10}{0}0.40^{0}(1-0.40)^{10-0} - \binom{10}{1}0.40^{1}(1-0.40)^{10-1}$

= 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( $\mu = n*p=4,\sigma^{2}= n*p*q = 2.4$ )

and standard normal z has distribution as;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

P(X > 0.5) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{0.5-4}{\sqrt{2.4} }$ ) = P(Z > -2.26) = P(Z < 2.26) = 0.98809

the proper angle for a ladder is about 75 degrees. from the ground. suppose you have a 9 foot ladder. how far from the house sho

icang [17]

ANSWER:

2.33 foot

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We can calculate the distance from the staircase to the wall, by means of the trigonometric cosine ratio, which is the following:

$\begin{gathered} \cos \theta=\frac{\text{ adjacent}}{\text{ hypotenuse}} \\ \theta=75\text{\degree} \\ \text{ hypotenuse = 9 foot} \\ \text{adjacent = x} \end{gathered}$

Replacing and solving for x:
