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.

Answer: s = 36

Step-by-step explanation: The key to solving multistep equations is isolating the variable. This is why I first subtracted 14 on each side. This left me with 1/3s=12. Then, to isolate "s" even more, I didvided by 1/3 on each side. This gave me s = 36 as an answer.

To divide by a fraction, use "keep change flip." Keep the first mumber, change division to multiplication, and flip the fraction. I included a picture of me doing this.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :)

How do you work<br><br>8x= -4x -3x​

First combine like terms on each side so
8x = -7x
then move -7x
so x=0

50 POINTS!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Determine an ordered pair</u>

A solution of an equation just means that the point lies on the line.  We can find any y-value when we plug in a specific x-value.  For example, if we want to know what ordered pair lies at x=1, we just plug in y = -1/2(1) and solve for y which gives us -1/2.  This gives us an ordered pair of (1, -1/2).  We can continue to do this for any x value.

We can also reverse the order and plug in the y-value and get the x-value in order to accomplish the same goal but it's a bit harder.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

large = 18 3/4 = 18.75

small = 13/2 = 6 1/2 = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = the weight of large boxes

s = weight of small boxes

2 large and 3 small weights 57

2l+3s = 57

6 large and 5 small wights 145

6l+5s = 145

Multiply the first equation by 3

3(2l+3s) = 57*3

6l +9s =171

Subtract the second equation

6l +9s =171

-6l -5s = -145

-----------------------

     4s =26

Divide each side by 4

4s/4 = 26/4

s = 26/4 = 13/2

Substitute this into the first equation

2l +3s = 57

2l + 3(13/2) =57

Multiply by 2 to get rid of the fractions

2(2l + 3(13/2)) =57*2

4l + 39 = 114

Subtract 39 from each side

4l +39-39 = 114-39

4l =75

Divide by 4

4l/4 = 75/4

l = 75/4 = 18 3/4
