Answer: 1st # n=35

2nd # n+2=37

Step-by-step explanation:

n= 1st #

n+2= 2nd #

n+n+2=72

2n+2=72 ( combine like terms)

2n+2-2=72-2

2n=70

2n/2=72/2

n=35

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The probability that at least one of the 5 donors has Group O blood type is 0.9497.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this as a binomial random variable, with n=5 (the sample size) and p=0.45.

The probability that exactly k donors have Group O blood type in the sample can be written as:

$P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}\\\\\\P(x=k) = \dbinom{5}{k} 0.45^{k} 0.55^{5-k}\\\\\\$

We have to calculate the probability P(x≥1). In this case it easy to substract from 1 the probabitity that x is exactly 0:

$P(X\geq1)=1-P(x=0)\\\\\\P(x=0) = \dbinom{5}{0} p^{0}(1-p)^{5}=0.55^5=0.0503\\\\\\P(x\geq1)=1-0.0503=0.9497$

Nastasia [14]

Answer: 20 names from each grade

Step-by-step explanation:

The two answers it comes down to are between every student from all of her classes and 20 students from each grade, however since the poll wants to determine how many people across the entire student body would attend, pulling from just Miranda's classes would add a grade level bias to the dance and would not be entirely random. 20 students from each grade is completely unbiased and properly represents the entire student body.
