After scoring a touchdown, a football team may elect to attempt a two-point conversion, by running or passing the ball into the

end zone. If successful, the team scores two points. For a certain football team, the probability that this play is successful is 0.40.
1. Let X = 1 if successful, X = 0 if not. Find the mean and variance of X.

Answer:

a) Mean(x) = 0.40

b) Variance(x) = 0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, the process is Bernoulli process, since the team can run or pass the ball into the end zone to score two points only. We are not told the number of times. Thus, <em>n </em>is unknown. That is, we are not told how many times the team successfully pass the ball into the end zone.

By Bernoulli process, the mean and variance are given as follow:

Mean = p

Variance = pq. This is the same as p(1-p)

Where p is the probability that this play is successful and q is  the probability that this play is not successful.

A price is decreased from £800 to £640. Calculate the percentage change.
Anni [7]
<span>There is a decrease of 20% from ÂŁ800 to ÂŁ640.

    A change from 800 to 640 represents a negative change (decrease) of -20% Using the formula :

   Percent change = [(800 - 640) / 800] x 100 = -20 % (decrease)

       800 is the old value and 640 is the new value. In this case we have a negative change (decrease) of -20 percent because the new value is smaller than the old value.</span>

A grocery store will only accept yellow onions that are at least 2.75 in. In diameter. A grower has a crop of onions with diamet
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate z-score firstly

z-score = (x-mean)/SD = (2.75-2.5)/0.25 = 0.25/0.25 = 1

P( x greater than or equal to 2.75) = P(z greater than or equal to 1)

= 1 - p(z <1)

P(z<1) from table = 0.84134

1-p(z<1) = 0.15866 or 15.866%
