Two types of coins are produced at a factory: a fair coin and a biased one that comes up heads 60 percent of the time. We have o

ne of these coins, but do not know whether it is a fair coin or a biased one. In order to ascertain which type of coin we have, we shall perform the following statistical test: We shall toss the coin 1000 times. If the coin lands on heads 550 or more times, then we shall conclude that it is a biased coin, whereas if it lands on heads less than 550 times, then we shall conclude that it is a fair coin. Use a normal approximation to compute the following probabilities (ignore continuity correction). (i) If the coin is actually fair, what is the probability that we shall reach a false conclusion? [7] (ii) If the coin is actually unfair, what is the probability that we shall reach a false conclusion? [8] Answer: Your

Answer:

i) 0.1% probability that if the coin is actually fair, we reach a false conclusion.

ii) 0.05% probability that if the coin is actually unfair, we reach a false conclusion

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

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

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

Fair coin:

Comes up heads 50% of the time, so p = 0.5

1000 trials, so n = 1000

So

E(X) = np = 1000*0.5 = 500

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{1000*0.5*0.5} = 15.81

If the coin lands on heads 550 or more times, then we shall conclude that it is a biased coin.

(i) If the coin is actually fair, what is the probability that we shall reach a false conclusion?

This is the probability that the number of heads is 550 or more, so this is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 549.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{549 - 500}{15.81}

Z = 3.1

Z = 3.1 has a pvalue of 0.9990

1 - 0.9990 = 0.001

0.1% probability that if the coin is actually fair, we reach a false conclusion.

(ii) If the coin is actually unfair, what is the probability that we shall reach a false conclusion?

Comes up heads 60% of the time, so p = 0.6

1000 trials, so n = 1000

So

E(X) = np = 1000*0.6 = 600

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{1000*0.6*0.4} = 15.49

If the coin lands on less than 550 times(that is, 549 or less), then we shall conclude that it is a biased coin.

So this is the pvalue of Z when X = 549.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{549 - 600}{15.49}

Z = -3.29

Z = -3.29 has a pvalue of 0.0005

0.05% probability that if the coin is actually unfair, we reach a false conclusion

The difference between two integers is 8 and their product is 65. Assume that the larger of the two numbers is x. Write a quadra
zzz [600]

A quadratic equation in standard form that can be used to determine the value of x is x^{2} - 8x - 65 = 0.

The Factor of the equation from Part B is (x - 13)(x + 5)  and the possible solutions to the equation is x = 13 or -5.

The value for the second number is 5

<h3>Word Problem Leading To Quadratic Equation.</h3>

The general formula for quadratic equation in a in standard form is

ax^{2} + bx + c = 0

Given that the  difference between two integers is 8

Let the two integers = x and y,

and their product is 65. If the larger of the two numbers is x. Then,

x - y = 8 and xy = 65

Since we are looking for the value of x, make y the subject of formula in the first equation.

y = x - 8

Substitute y in the second equation.

x(x - 8) = 65

x^{2} - 8x - 65 = 0

x^{2} - 13x + 5x - 65 = 0

(x - 13)(x + 5) = 0

x = 13 or -5

We will ignore -5 since x is the larger number.

To get y Substitute x in the second equation.

xy = 65

13y = 65

y = 65/13

y = 5

Therefore, a quadratic equation in standard form that can be used to determine the value of x is x^{2} - 8x - 65 = 0. The Factor of the equation from Part B is (x - 13)(x + 5)  and the possible solutions to the equation is x = 13 or -5. The value for the second number is 5

Please help asap !!!!!! what vaule of x makes the equation true 3(x-4)=15
DaniilM [7]

3(x-4) = 15

Distribute the 3:

3x-12 = 15

Add 12 to both sides:

3x = 27

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 9

The answer is D. 9
