According to sales information in the first quarter of 2015, 2.7% of the new vehicles sold in the United States were hybrids. Th

is is down from 3.3% for the same period a year earlier. An analyst's review of the data indicates that the reasons for the sales decline include the low price of gasoline and the higher price of a hybrid compared to similar vehicles. Let’s assume these statistics remain the same for 2016. That is, 2.7 percent of the new car sales are hybrids in the first quarter of 2016. For a sample of 40 vehicles sold in the Richmond, Virginia, area:

Answer:

2 vehicles would be hybrid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

40 vehicles sold in the Richmond, and 2.7% of the new vehicles sold in the United States were hybrids.

Therefore n=40 and π=0.027

Now we need to find vehicles expect to be hybrid.

\mu=n\times \pi

\mu=40\times 0.027

\mu=1.08\approx 2

Hence, 2 vehicles would be hybrid.

Answer:

You should expect 1.08 vehicles to be hybrid.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each vehicle, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a hybrid, or it is not. The probability of a vehicle being a hybrid is independent of other vehicles. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

2.7 percent of the new car sales are hybrids in the first quarter of 2016.

This means that p = 0.027

For a sample of 40 vehicles sold in the Richmond, Virginia

This means that n = 40

For a sample of 40 vehicles sold in the Richmond, Virginia

E(X) = np = 40*0.027 = 1.08

You should expect 1.08 vehicles to be hybrid.

1. If 9 students sharpen 18 pencils in 2 minutes, how many students will it take to sharpen 18 pencils in 1 minute?
Ad libitum [116K]
A) If 9 students sharpen 18 pencils in 2 minutes,Then if the time is halved, it will take twice as many men to sharpen 18 pencils.Hence it will take 18 students to sharpen 18 pencils in one minute B) y & 1/x. Then y = K/x where K is our constant of proportionality.Then K = yx. When x = -64 and y = -16 then K = -64 * -16 = 1024. Option DC) When x = 3 y = 8. So for an inverse variation K as calculated from B = 3 * 8 = 24.Then when K = 24 and y = 6; we have 24 = 6x. Hence x = 4. Option A
