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

30. What is the solution to the system of equations?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 0

z = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 3x + 3y - z = 1

b) z = 8

c) -x -3y + 2z = 13

a) 3x + 3y - 8 = 1 (substitution)

a) 3x + 3y = 9

c) - x - 3y + 2(8) = 13 (substitution)

c) -x - 3y + 16 = 13

c) -x - 3y = -3

(3x + 3y = 9) + (-x -3y = -3)

= 2x = 6

x = 3

a) 3(3) + 3y - 8 = 1

9 + 3y - 8 = 1

y = (1 -9 + 8)/3

y = 0

Positive and negative relationships are both examples of linear relationships
NARA [144]

Answer: A. True.

Step-by-step explanation:

A relationship is linear when the points on a scatterplot follow a somewhat straight line pattern. This is the relationship that we will examine. Linear relationships can be either positive or negative. Positive relationships have points that incline upwards to the right. As x values increase, y values increase.

The volume of a cone is V= (1/3)pi r²h
it was given 
h=12cm
radius=3cm 
the volume of the first cone is V1= 1/3)pi r²h1
where h1= h/2=6cm 
so its volume is V1=1/3)xpix3²x6=56.52cm^3

and since the two cones are identical so V1=V2=<span>56.52cm^3,
we need </span><span>56.52cm^3 or salt </span>
