A student wants to simulate 31 ​birthdays, but she does not have a calculator or software program​ available, so she makes up 31

numbers between 1 and 365. Is it okay to conduct the simulation this​ way? Why or why​ not?

Answer:

No, it is not okay to conduct the simulation this​ way.

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, simulation refers to a technique that is employed to model random events so that the results obtained from using the simulation is significantly similar to the results obtained from observing the real-world.

Researchers are therefore able to understand the real world when they observe the simulated outcomes.

From the description above, it can be seen that simulation is about studying random events. Therefore, a sample of the population that will be used in the simulation must be selected through a random sampling.

Random sampling refers to the sampling method that gives equal opportunity of being selected to each member of the population. This makes the sample selected through random sampling technique to be an unbiased representation of the total population.

As a result, making up 31 numbers between 1 and 365 by the student is not a random sampling, because his method may favor some numbers over others. It is therefore a defective method of carrying out simulation.

 Therefore, the it is not okay to conduct the simulation this​ way.

I wish you the best.

14 bands volunteered but 7 played. How many lineups?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

3432

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bands = 14

Bands played = 7

The possible lineups can be calculated using Combination.

So, the possible lineups are 14C7

=> \frac{14!}{7!(14-7)!}

=> 3432

a family has five children. the probability of having a girl is 1/2. whats probability of having at leasr 4 girls g'
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Probability of having at least 4 Girls

= 0.6875

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of having at least 4 Girls is 1-probability of having exactly 3 girls

Total number of children= 5 = N

Probability of having a girl p = 0.5

Probability of not having a girl q= 0.5

X= 3

Probability of at least 4 girls is given by

Probability= NCX(p)^x(q)^(N-x)

Probability = 5C3(0.5)^3(0.5)^(5-3)

Probability = 5C3(0.5)^3(0.5)^2

Probability= 5!/3!2!(0.5)^3(0.5)^2

Probability= 10(0.125)(0.25)

Probability= 0.3125

Probability of having at least 4 Girls

= 1- 0.3125

= 0.6875

Complete the sentences below based on the graph of the function.<br><br> Please help!
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

  • 20 km
  • 20 km/h
  • 5 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the graph is a plot of Sean's distance from home as he drives to work, works 8 hours, then drives home with a 2-hour stop along the way. It also appears that t is measured in hours after midnight.

The graph shows Sean's distance from home between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (t=17) is 20 km. Based on our assumptions, ...

  Sean's workplace is located 20 km from his home.

__

Speed is the change in distance divided by the change in time. Between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. Sean's position changes by 20 km. His speed is then ...

  (20 km)/(1 h) = 20 km/h

  Sean's speed driving to work was 20 km/h.

__

Between 5 p.m. (t=17) and 7 p.m. (t=19), Sean's position changes from 20 km to 10 km from home. That change took 2 hours, so his speed was ...

  (10 km)/(2 h) = 5 km/h

  Sean's speed between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. was 5 km/h.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The units of speed (kilometers per hour) tell you it is computed by dividing kilometers by hours. ("Per" in this context means "divided by".)

While the slope of the line on the graph between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. is negative, the speed is positive. The negative sign means Sean's speed is not away from home, but is toward home. When the direction (toward, away) is included, the result is a vector called "velocity." Speed is just the magnitude of the velocity vector. It ignores direction.
