We learned in that about 69.7% of 18-20 year olds consumed alcoholic beverages in 2008. We now consider a random sample of fifty

18-20 year olds. 1. How many people would you expect to have consumed alcoholic beverages? (round to one decimal place) 2. What is the standard deviation? (round to two decimal places) 3. Would you be surprised, if there were 45 or more people who have consumed alcoholic beverages? _

Answer:

(1) The expected number of people who would have consumed alcoholic beverages is 34.9.

(2) The standard deviation of people who would have consumed alcoholic beverages is 10.56.

(3) It is surprising that there were 45 or more people who have consumed alcoholic beverages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of adults between 18 to 20 years consumed alcoholic beverages in 2008.

The probability of the random variable <em>X</em> is, <em>p</em> = 0.697.

A random sample of <em>n</em> = 50 adults in the age group 18 - 20 years is selected.

An adult, in the age group 18 - 20 years, consuming alcohol is independent of the others.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 50 and <em>p</em> = 0.697.

The probability mass function of a Binomial random variable <em>X</em> is:

P(X=x)={50\choose x}0.697^{x}(1-0.697)^{50-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...

(1)

Compute the expected value of <em>X</em> as follows:

E(X)=np\\=50\times 0.697\\=34.85\\\approx34.9

Thus, the expected number of people who would have consumed alcoholic beverages is 34.9.

(2)

Compute the standard deviation of <em>X</em> as follows:

SD(X)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{50\times 0.697\times (1-0.697)}=10.55955\approx10.56

Thus, the standard deviation of people who would have consumed alcoholic beverages is 10.56.

(3)

Compute the probability of <em>X</em> ≥ 45 as follows:

P (<em>X</em> ≥ 45) = P (X = 45) + P (X = 46) + ... + P (X = 50)

                =\sum\limits^{50}_{x=45} {50\choose x}0.697^{x}(1-0.697)^{50-x}\\=0.0005+0.0001+0.00002+0.000003+0+0\\=0.000623\\\approx0.0006

The probability that 45 or more have consumed alcoholic beverages is 0.0006.

An unusual or surprising event is an event that has a very low probability of success, i.e. <em>p</em> < 0.05.

The probability of 45 or more have consumed alcoholic beverages is 0.0006. This probability value is very small.

Thus, it is surprising that there were 45 or more people who have consumed alcoholic beverages.

Estimate the perimeter of the figure to the nearest whole number.
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

See Explanation Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete (because the figure to calculate the perimeter is missing).

However from the comment attached to your question, I understand that the figure looks like a plus sign.

The perimeter of a plane shape is calculated by adding the length of each side of the shape.

Take for instance;

A square of length 5cm.

We know that a square has 4 equal sides; meaning that the length of the other sides are also 5cm

So, the perimeter of the square will be calculated as 5cm + 5cm + 5cm + 5cm = 20cm

Similarly, the perimeter of a triangle whose sides are 4ft, 3ft and 5ft will be calculated by adding up the length of the three sides.

Perimeter of the triangle = 4ft + 3ft + 5ft

Perimeter = 12ft.

Having explained how the perimeter of a plane shape is calculated; take for example, the attachment below.

(The sides are measured in centimetres)

The plus sign has 12 sides; Its perimeter is calculated by adding up the length of the 12 sides.

Perimeter = 3 + 7 + 7 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 3

Perimeter = 52cm

I ready scientific notation help
Airida [17]

The required value is 2\times10^9

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of ants = 4\times10^{-3}

Weight of elephant= 8\times10^6

We need to find, the total weight of about how many ants equals to the weight of an oversized elephant.

The equation given is:

4\times10^{-3} \times a = 8\times10^6

We need to find a:

Solving:

4\times10^{-3} \times a = 8\times10^6\\a=\frac{8\times10^6}{4\times10^{-3}}\\if \,\,10^a/10^-b \,\,then\,\, 10^{a+b}\\a=2\times10^{6+3} \\a=2\times10^9

So, the required value is 2\times10^9
