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

Solve for x<br> Зx = 6x - 2
allsm [11]

Answer: The answer is x=2/3

Step-by-step explanation: This is the linear equation to solve it we have to take 6x to the other the sign will change to be negative then divide both sides by 3

3x=6x-2

3x-6x=-2

3x=-2

x=2/3

How do I get this answer and what is it
Sedaia [141]
The degree is 5, so the largest exponent of the polynomial is 5. This means the answer is either A or B. Choice C is ruled out because the degree here is 7. Choice D is ruled out because the degree here is 6

For choice A, the leading coefficient is 6. This is the number to the left of the variable term of the largest exponent. So we can rule out choice A (because the leading coefficient should be 7)

Choice B is the answer. It has a degree of 5 and a leading coefficient of 7 and also a constant term of 6. The constant term is simply the term without any variables attached to it.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 26 mm. One leg of the right triangle is 10 mm. What is the length of the other leg? (4 poi
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

24 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.

We know one of the legs is 10, and the hypotenuse is 26, so we can substitute 10 in for a, and 26 in for c.

10^2+b^2=26^2

Solve the exponents

100+b^2=676

Now, solve for b. To do this, get b by itself.

First, subtract 100 from both sides

100-100+b^2=676-100

b^2=576

Take the square root of both sides

\sqrt{b^2}=\sqrt{576}

b=24

So, the other leg is 24 mm
