Answer:

The probability that exactly 97 of them finished the marathon​ is 0.221.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in 2019, approximately 97.4% of all the runners who started the Boston Marathon were able to complete the 42.2 km race.

100 runners are chosen at random.

The above situation can be represented through the binomial distribution;

P(X = x) = \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r};x = 0,1,2,3,......

where, n = number of trials(or samples) taken = 100 runners

           r = number of success = exactly 97

           p = probability of success which in our question is the probability

                 that runners finished the marathon​, i.e; p = 0.974

So, X ~ Binom(n = 100, p = 0.974)

Now, the probability that exactly 97 of them finished the marathon​ is given by = P(X = 97)

         P(X = 97) = \binom{100}{97} \times 0.974^{97} \times (1-0.974)^{100-97}

                          = 161700 \times 0.974^{97} \times 0.026^{3}

                          = 0.221

Hence, the required probability is 0.221.

egoroff_w [7]

The expected value of y when x is equals to 45 in the equation is 35.06

<h3>How to find variable from an equation?</h3>

The equation is given as follows;

y = -2.61x + 152.51

where

  • x = variable 1
  • y = variable 2

Therefore,

when

x = 45

y = -2.61x + 152.51

y = -2.61(45) + 152.51

y = - 117.45 + 152.51

y = 35.06

17. Two tanks are similar in shape. The capacity of the tanks are 1,000,000 litres and 512, 000 liters respectively
Gnesinka [82]

Given that, Two tanks are similar in shape. The capacity of the tanks are 1,000,000 litres and 512, 000 liters respectively.Find the height of the smallest tank if the larger is 300cm tall?

Assume that, the tanks are rectangular in shapes and differ only on their heights. The volume of the larger tank is

V1 = l × w × h1 while the volume of the smaller tank is V2 = l ×w × h2. The ratios of the capacities is

\sf \frac{V1}{V2} = l  \times  w  \times h1  \times  w  \times  h2 =  \frac{h1}{h2}

Solving for the height of the smaller tank h2

\sf \frac{V1}{V2} =  \frac{h1}{h2}

\sf\frac{1000000} {51200} = \frac{ 300 cm }{ h2}

1000000 × h2 = 51200 × 300 cm

h2 = (51200 × 300 cm) /1000000

h2 = 15.36 cm

\sf\implies \: \boxed{ \bf{ \: Height \:  of  \: the \:  smaller  \: tank  \: is  \: 15.36 cm.\: }}
