Answer:

The probability is 0.0014

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have two possible outcomes p, q and we repeat the experiment multiple times, we apply the Binomial distribution, in this distribution the probability of getting exactly k successes in n trials is given by

P(X=k)  = nCk(p)^k(1-p)^{n-k}

where p represents the probability of success. nCk refers to the combinations of k elements out of n elements.

In this case, p= .29 (the probability that the person says "yes" being confident that passenger trips to the moon will occur in their lifetime.

q = .71 (The probability that the person says "no")

We sample 200 americans, therefore, we have n = 200 and we need the probability that less than 40% of the people sampled answer "yes".

The 40% of 200 is 80. So, in other words, we need less than 80 people to answer yes to the question.

P(x<80) = P(x=0) + P(x=1) + P(x=2) + .... + P(x=79) = 0.00143466294 (we can use a Binomial Distribution calculator to compute this result)

Therefore, P(x < 80) = 0.0014

A biologist studied how cells grow by adding liquid protein to cell samples. She reported in her study that she divided 3/5 of a
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: \dfrac{1}{5}\text{ of an ounce.}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A biologist studied how cells grow by adding liquid protein to cell samples.

She divided \dfrac{3}{5} of an ounce of liquid protein evenly among 3 cell samples.

Here , total quantity of liquid protein = \dfrac{3}{5} of an ounce

Total cell samples = 3

Now , Quantity of liquid protein given by her to each cell = (total quantity of liquid protein ) ÷ (3)

= \dfrac{3}{5}\times\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1}{5}\text{ of an ounce} .

Hence, Quantity of liquid protein given by her to each cell =  \dfrac{1}{5}\text{ of an ounce.}

The port of South Louisiana, located along 54 miles of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, is the largest
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

a) 0.7287

b) 0.9663

c) 0.237

d) 3.65 tons of cargo per week or more that will require the port to extend its operating hours.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ =  4.5 million tons of cargo per week

Standard Deviation, σ = 0 .82 million tons

We are given that the distribution of number of tons of cargo handled per week is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) P( port handles less than 5 million tons of cargo per week)

P(x < 5)

P( x < 5) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{5 - 4.5}{0.82}) = P(z < 0.609)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x < 5) =0.7287= 72.87\%

b) P( port handles 3 or more million tons of cargo per week)

P(x \geq 3) = P(z \geq \displaystyle\frac{3-4.5}{0.82}) = P(z \geq −1.82926)\\\\P( z \geq −1.82926) = 1 - P(z < -1.829)

Calculating the value from the standard normal table we have,

1 - 0.0337 = 0.9663 = 96.63\%\\P( x \geq 3) = 96.63\%

c)P( port handles between 3 million and 4 million tons of cargo per week)

P(3 \leq x \leq 4) = P(\displaystyle\frac{3 - 4.5}{0.82} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{4-4.5}{0.82}) = P(-1.829 \leq z \leq -0.609)\\\\= P(z \leq -0.609) - P(z < -1.829)\\= 0.271-0.034 = 0.237= 23.7\%

P(3 \leq x \leq 4) = 23.7\%

d) P(X=x) = 0.85

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.85.

P(X > x)  

P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82})=0.85  

= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82})=0.85  

=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82})=0.15  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P( z \leq -1.036) = 0.15

\displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82} = -1.036\\x = 3.65

Thus, 3.65 tons of cargo per week or more that will require the port to extend its operating hours.

What is the value of a+ by when a= 7, b= and c= 1/2 ?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

a = 7

b =?

c = 1/2

a + by = 0

7 + b × 1/2 = 0

7 + 1/2 b = 0

1/2 b = - 7

b = -7 × 2

b = - 14

a + by

= 7 + - 14 × 1/2

= 7 -14/2

= 7 - 7

= <u>0</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Id.k if you forgot to write the value of b or not, since the value of b is not given, this will be ur answer.
