Well, you know that 20% is out of 100.
So, take a fraction that is equivalent to 20% of 100. ( 2/10 works fine) or, 1/5
Then, take 20% and luckily, 20% is a benchmark so .2 (out of 10) works fine.

Tema [17]

Answer:

a) P=0.558

b) P=0.021

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this random variable as a Poisson distribution with parameter λ=1/500*2000=4.

The approximate distribution of the number who carry this gene in a sample of 2000 individuals is:

$P(x=k)=\frac{\lambda^ke^{-\lambda}}{k!} =\frac{4^ke^{-4}}{k!}$

a) We can calculate that the approximate probability that between 4 and 9 (inclusive) as:

$P(4\leq x\leq 9)=\sum_{k=4}^9P(k)\\\\\\ P(4)=4^{4} \cdot e^{-4}/4!=256*0.0183/24=0.195\\\\P(5)=4^{5} \cdot e^{-4}/5!=1024*0.0183/120=0.156\\\\P(6)=4^{6} \cdot e^{-4}/6!=4096*0.0183/720=0.104\\\\P(7)=4^{7} \cdot e^{-4}/7!=16384*0.0183/5040=0.06\\\\P(8)=4^{8} \cdot e^{-4}/8!=65536*0.0183/40320=0.03\\\\P(9)=4^{9} \cdot e^{-4}/9!=262144*0.0183/362880=0.013\\\\\\$

$P(4\leq x\leq 9)=\sum_{k=4}^9P(k)=0.195+0.156+0.104+0.060+0.030+0.013=0.558$

b) The approximate probability that at least 9 carry the gene is:

$P(x\geq9)=1-P(x\leq 8)\\\\\\$

$P(0)=4^{0} \cdot e^{-4}/0!=1*0.0183/1=0.018\\\\P(1)=4^{1} \cdot e^{-4}/1!=4*0.0183/1=0.073\\\\P(2)=4^{2} \cdot e^{-4}/2!=16*0.0183/2=0.147\\\\P(3)=4^{3} \cdot e^{-4}/3!=64*0.0183/6=0.195\\\\P(4)=4^{4} \cdot e^{-4}/4!=256*0.0183/24=0.195\\\\P(5)=4^{5} \cdot e^{-4}/5!=1024*0.0183/120=0.156\\\\P(6)=4^{6} \cdot e^{-4}/6!=4096*0.0183/720=0.104\\\\P(7)=4^{7} \cdot e^{-4}/7!=16384*0.0183/5040=0.06\\\\P(8)=4^{8} \cdot e^{-4}/8!=65536*0.0183/40320=0.03\\\\$

$P(x\geq9)=1-P(x\leq 8)\\\\P(x\geq9)=1-(0.018+0.073+0.147+0.195+0.195+0.156+0.104+0.060+0.030)\\\\P(x\geq9)=1-0.979=0.021$

Step-by-step explanation:

find the area of each side, then add together

top and bottom are 10*8= 80 80*2= 160

front and back are 10*4=40 40*2=80

left and right sides are 8*4=32 32*2=64

160+80+64=304

It's 50*, 46* and 84*.

Ratio of the second problem is 1:1 they both have a slope of 1 (which is probably why all three points are on the same line)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that the straight/flat angle would equal 180* we will set the total of all those angles to 180*

We will add them up to find x. Once we find x we can find the value of each angle.

6x-10 + 4x + 6 + 7x + 14 = 180

We will combine like terms and solve for x.

17x+10 = 180

17x = 170

x = 10.

Since we have x = 10, we will plug it into x of each angle to get the value of each angle.

6(10) -10 = 60-10 which equals 50*

4(10) + 6 = 40+6 which equals 46*

7(10) + 14 = 70 + 14 which equals 84*.
