The National Vaccine Information Center estimates that 90% of Americans have had chickenpox by the time they reach adulthood.32

(a) Suppose we take a random sample of 100 American adults. Is the use of the binomial distribution appropriate for calculating the probability that exactly 97 out of 100 randomly sampled American adults had chickenpox during childhood

Answer:

0.59% probability that exactly 97 out of 100 randomly sampled American adults had chickenpox during childhood.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have had chickenpox, or they have not. The probability of a person having had chickenpox is independent from other people. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

90% of Americans have had chickenpox by the time they reach adulthood.

This means that p = 0.9

Suppose we take a random sample of 100 American adults. Is the use of the binomial distribution appropriate for calculating the probability that exactly 97 out of 100 randomly sampled American adults had chickenpox during childhood

This is P(X = 97) when n = 100. So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 97) = C_{100,97}.(0.9)^{97}.(0.1)^{3} = 0.0059

0.59% probability that exactly 97 out of 100 randomly sampled American adults had chickenpox during childhood.

Real world example could be:
Consider x is time in minutes
Consider y is the amount of fish food required in grams

The equation could then represent how much food (in grams) that a fish needs to be fed x minutes after it was previously fed.

You are filling up a cylindrical tank with a radius of 5m with water at a rate of 3 cm^3/min. Unbeknownst to you the tank has a
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

dh/dt = 3/25π m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius = 5m

Rate (dV/dt) = 3 cm^3 / min

Leaking rate = 1 cm^3 / min

Volume = πr^2h

Volume = π(5)^2h

V= 25πh

Differentiate volume implicitly with respect to time

dV/dt = 3 cm^3/min

3 = 25π(dh/dt)

dh/dt = 3 m^3/min /25πm^2

dh/dt = 3/25πm/min
