Answer:

The probability of 1 or less children from that group to learn how to swim before 6 years of age is 0.072

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to compute the probability of none of these 12 children learns to swim before 6 years of age. This is given by:

p(0) = (1 - 0.312)^(12) = 0.688^(12) = 0.01124

We now need to calculate the probability that one child learns to swim before 6 years of age.

p(1) = 12*0.312*(1 - 0.312)^(11) = 3.744*(0.688)^(11)

p(1) = 3.744*0.01634

p(1) = 0.0612

The probability of 1 or less children from that group to learn how to swim before 6 years of age is:

p = p(0) + p(1) = 0.01124 + 0.0612 = 0.07244

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness = 0.00052.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we have the following set of data or information or parameters given from the question above and they are; the number of people living in that particular society/community/town = 74,000 residents and the proportion of people that the diseases affected = .000215.

The first step to do is to determine the expected number of people with disease. Thus, the expected number of people with disease = 74,000 × .000215 = 15.91.

Hence, the probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness = 1.23 × 10^-7 × 15.91^30/ 2.65253 × 10^-32 = 0.00052.

Note the formula used in the calculating the probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness =  e^-λ × λ^x/ x!

What is PA <br> Enter your answer in the box
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

P is the in-center

⇒PA=PE=PD because they are in-radius of the in-circle

We know that, tangent segments drawn from a point outside the circle are always equal in length

⇒DK=EK=7.2

In right triangle PKE,

using Pythagoras' Theorem : PK^{2}=PE^{2}+KE^{2}

⇒PE^{2}=PK^{2}-KE^{2}

⇒PE=\sqrt{PK^{2}-KE^{2} }

⇒PE^{2}=\sqrt{7.8^{2}-7.2^{2}} }

⇒PE=3

Therefore, PA=3
