The distribution of the number of occurrences of the letter t on the pages of a book is found to be a normal distribution with a mean of 44 and a standard deviation of 18. If there are 500 pages in the book, which sentence most closely summarizes the data?
A. The letter t occurs less than 26 times on approximately 170 of these pages.
B. The letter t occurs less than 26 times on approximately 15 of these pages.
C. The letter t occurs more than 26 times on approximately 420 of these pages.
D. The letter t occurs more than 26 times on approximately 80 of these pages.
.Answer:
<span>mean = 44 </span>
<span>sd = 18 </span>
<span>that means that "26" is 1 s.d. down, or at the 16th %ile </span>
<span>so, there is a .16 chance that "t" will occur less than 26 times on any single page. </span>
<span>consequently, there is a .84 chance that it will occur more than 26 times on any single page. </span>
<span>Using that information, and knowing that 16% of 500 is 80, and 84% of 500 is 420, can you see where "C" is correct? </span>
Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x - 1) = -45
5x - 5 = -45
add 5 to each side of the equation:
5x = -40
divide both sides by 5:
x = -8
Answer:
The probability that 12 people in your sample are carrying no cash is 0.0712
Step-by-step explanation:
n = 100
p(no cash) = 0.09
x = 12
By applying binomial distribution
P(x,n) = nCx*px*(1-p)(n-x)
P(x = 12) = 0.074.
The probability that 12 people in your sample are carrying no cash is 0.074.
n = 100
p(less than 50) = 0.78
x = 75
By applying binomial distribution
P(x,n) = nCx*px*(1-p)(n-x)
P(x = 75) = 0.0712
The probability that 12 people in your sample are carrying no cash is 0.0712
R = 13.1
so
<span>diameter = 13.1 x 2 = 26.2 km
</span>circumference = 2 pi r = 26.2 pi km
or
circumference = 26.2 x 3.14 = 82.27 km
