Answer:

A university found that 30% of its students withdraw without completing the introductory statistics course. Assume that 20 students registered for the course.

a. Compute the probability that 2 or fewer will withdraw (to 4 decimals).

= 0.0355

b. Compute the probability that exactly 4 will withdraw (to 4 decimals).

= 0.1304

c. Compute the probability that more than 3 will withdraw (to 4 decimals).

= 0.8929

d. Compute the expected number of withdrawals.

= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial problem and the formula for binomial is:

P(X = x) = nCx p^{x} q^{n - x}

a) Compute the probability that 2 or fewer will withdraw

First we need to determine, given 2 students from the 20. Which is the probability of those 2 to withdraw and all others to complete the course. This is given by:

P(X = x) = nCx p^{x} q^{n - x}\\P(X = 2) = 20C2(0.3)^2(0.7)^{18}\\P(X = 2) =190 * 0.09 * 0.001628413597\\P(X = 2) = 0.027845872524

P(X = x) = nCx p^{x} q^{n - x}\\P(X = 1) = 20C1(0.3)^1(0.7)^{19}\\P(X = 1) =20 * 0.3 * 0.001139889518\\P(X = 1) = 0.006839337111

P(X = x) = nCx p^{x} q^{n - x}\\P(X = 0) = 20C0(0.3)^0(0.7)^{20}\\P(X = 0) =1 * 1 * 0.000797922662\\P(X = 0) = 0.000797922662

Finally, the probability that 2 or fewer students will withdraw is

P(X = 2) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 0) \\= 0.027845872524 + 0.006839337111 + 0.000797922662\\= 0.035483132297\\= 0.0355

b) Compute the probability that exactly 4 will withdraw.

P(X = x) = nCx p^{x} q^{n - x}\\P(X = 4) = 20C4(0.3)^4(0.7)^{16}\\P(X = 4) = 4845 * 0.0081 * 0.003323293056\\P(X = 4) = 0.130420974373\\P(X = 4) = 0.1304

c) Compute the probability that more than 3 will withdraw

First we will compute the probability that exactly 3 students withdraw, which is given by

P(X = x) = nCx p^{x} q^{n - x}\\P(X = 3) = 20C3(0.3)^3(0.7)^{17}\\P(X = 3) = 1140 * 0.027 * 0.002326305139\\P(X = 3) = 0.071603672205\\P(X = 3) = 0.0716

Then, using a) we have that the probability that 3 or fewer students withdraw is 0.0355+0.0716=0.1071. Therefore the probability that more than 3 will withdraw is 1 - 0.1071=0.8929

d) Compute the expected number of withdrawals.

E(X) = 3/10 * 20 = 6

Expected number of withdrawals is the 30% of 20 which is 6.

Mr. Hartman, the school librarian, is ordering new keyboards and mice for all of the school's computer labs. Each keyboard costs
mario62 [17]

Answer:

3 * 20s

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out how much Mr. Hartman will spend in total we first need to multiply the price of the keyboard and mouse by the number of computers in a single computer station. Once we have these products we add them together. Finally, we multiply this new value by 3 since there are a total of 3 computer stations. If we turn this into an expression it would be the following...

3 * (13.50s + 6.50s)

We can even simplify this by first adding the cost of the keyboard and mouse and then multiplying by s

aliya0001 [1]

(A)

P(<em>X</em> < 61.25) = P((<em>X</em> - 55.4)/4.1 < (61.25 - 55.4)/4.1)

… ≈ P(<em>Z</em> ≤ 0.1427)

… ≈ 0.5567

(B)

P(<em>X</em> > 46.5) = P((<em>X</em> - 55.4)/4.1 > (46.5 - 55.4)/4.1)

… ≈ P(<em>Z</em> > -2.1707)

… ≈ 1 - P(<em>Z</em> ≤ -2.1707)

… ≈ 0.9850

I need help with d and I need to show my work.
cupoosta [38]
Ok
So when you multiply by a fraction just multiply top by top and bottom by bottom
So top by top is 2 by 4 so 8
And bottom by bottom is 3 by 5 which is 15
So answer is 8/15
Hope this helps and don’t forget to mark as brainliest if you thought it was most helpful :)
