Suppose that the prevalence of a certain type of tree allergy is 0.26 in the general population. If 100 people randomly chosen f

rom this population are tested for this allergy, what is the probability that exactly 26 of them will have this allergy? Please write your answer as a decimal, precise to at least four decimal places.

Answer:

The probability that exactly 26 out of 100 randomly selected will have this allergy is P=0.0906.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this as a binomial distribution with parameters:

Size n=100

Probability p=0.26.

We can calculate the probability of getting a sample of exactly 26 positives as:

P(X=k)=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} p^k(1-p)^{n-k}\\\\P(X=26)=\frac{100!}{26!(100-26)!} 0.26^{26}(1-0.26)^{100-26}\\\\P(X=26)=(6.9957*10^{23})*(6.1561*10^{-16})*(2.1045*10^{-10})\\\\P(X=26)=(6.9957*6.1561*2.1045)*10^{23-16-10}\\\\P(X=26)=90.6329*10^{-3}=0.0906

Answer:

0.0906

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the prevalence of a certain type of tree allergy is 0.26 in the general population

X- the no of persons having tree allergy is binomial since each persons is independent of the other and there are two outcomes.

Here n = 100

Required probability = the probability that exactly 26 of them will have this allergy

=P(x=26)=100C26(0.26)^{26} (1-0,26)^{100-26}\\ =0.09063\\=0.0906

Check the picture below.  Recall, is an open-top box, so, the top is not part of the surface area, of the 300 cm².  Also, recall, the base is a square, thus, length = width = x.

\bf \textit{volume of a rectangular prism}\\\\&#10;V=lwh\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;l = length\\&#10;w=width\\&#10;h=height\\&#10;-----\\&#10;w=l=x&#10;\end{cases}\implies V=xxh\implies \boxed{V=x^2h}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\textit{surface area}\\\\&#10;S=4xh+x^2\implies 300=4xh+x^2\implies \cfrac{300-x^2}{4x}=h&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\boxed{\cfrac{75}{x}-\cfrac{x}{4}=h}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;V=x^2\left( \cfrac{75}{x}-\cfrac{x}{4} \right)\implies V(x)=75x-\cfrac{1}{4}x^3

so.. that'd be the V(x) for such box, now, where is the maximum point at?

\bf V(x)=75x-\cfrac{1}{4}x^3\implies \cfrac{dV}{dx}=75-\cfrac{3}{4}x^2\implies 0=75-\cfrac{3}{4}x^2&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{3}{4}x^2=75\implies 3x^2=300\implies x^2=\cfrac{300}{3}\implies x^2=100&#10;\\\\\\&#10;x=\pm10\impliedby \textit{is a length unit, so we can dismiss -10}\qquad \boxed{x=10}

now, let's check if it's a maximum point at 10, by doing a first-derivative test on it.  Check the second picture below.

so, the volume will then be at   \bf V(10)=75(10)-\cfrac{1}{4}(10)^3\implies V(10)=500 \ cm^3

A fraction reduces to 36. If its denominator is 6x5, what is its numerator?
olchik [2.2K]
If you would like to find the numerator of a fraction, you can do this using the following steps:

denominator ... 6 * 5 = 30
numerator ... x = ?

36 = numerator / denominator
36 = x / 30
x = 36 * 30
x = 1080

The correct result would be 1080.

Proportional relationships! <br> Need help on!
Jlenok [28]
Direct variation has this equation:

y = kx

where k is the constant of variation

y = -5 ; x = -15

y = kx
-5 = k(-15)
-5/-15 = k
1/3 = k

Choice D. y = 1/3 x

Hellllp please
Aneli [31]

Answer:

y = 5/8x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(8,2) and (-8,-8)

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = ( -8 -2)/ (-8 - 8)

m = (-10)/(-16)

m = 5/8

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 5/8(x - 8)

y - 2 = 5/8x - 5

y = 5/8x - 3
