The proportion of American births that result in a birth defect is approximately 1/33 according to the Centers for Disease Contr

ol and Prevention (CDC). A local hospital randomly selects five births and lets the random variable X count the number resulting in a defect. Assume the births are independent. Identify an appropriate probability model for X. a. binomial distribution with n

Answer:

BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out 'x' successes out of 'n' trials, Binomial Distribution is used.

Success = Birth Defect ;

  • Prob (success) = Prob (Birth defect) = 1/33 = 0.030
  • Prob (no success) = Prob (no birth defect) = 1- 0.030 = 0.97

n = total trials = 5 births (given)

Let 'x' be the no. of successes (defective births) out of 5 ;

P(n, x) = nCx p^x (1 - p)^(n - x)          

Eg, with given info :-  P (5,x) = 5Cx. (0.030)^x. (0.97)^ (n-x)

Answer:

The appropriate probability model for X is a Binomial distribution,

X \sim Bin (<em>n</em> = 5, <em>p</em> = 1/33).

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> can be defined as the number of American births resulting in a defect.

The proportion of American births that result in a birth defect is approximately <em>p</em> = 1/33.

A random sample of <em>n</em> = 5 American births are selected.

It is assumed that the births are independent, i.e. a birth can be defective or not is independent of the other births.

In this experiment the success is defined as a defective birth.

The random variable <em>X</em> satisfies all criteria of a Binomial distribution.

The criteria are:

  • Number of observations is constant
  • Independent trials
  • Each trial has only two outcomes: Success and Failure
  • Same probability of success for each trial

Thus, the appropriate probability model for X is a Binomial distribution, Bin (<em>n</em> = 5, <em>p</em> = 1/33).

saul85 [17]

Answer:

83%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can put this into a fraction to get the ratio of the new price over the old price

\frac{128650}{155000}

This will give us the percentage of how much was decreased.

The answer you get is .83

Bring 2 decimal places to the right to get 83 (converting from decimal to percentage)

You get 83 percent to be your answer

There are 7 ushers and 11 technicians helping at the Harper Middle School fall play.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

<h3>The ratio of technicians to all helpers  is 11 : 7, or \frac{11}{7} or 11 to 7.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Given that there are 7 ushers and 11 technicians helping at the Harper Middle School fall play.
  • Let x be the number of ushers ( or helpers ).
  • Therefore x=7 helpers.
  • Let y be the number of technicians.
  • Therefore y=11 technicians.
<h3>To find the ratio of technicians to all helpers :</h3>

That is to find the ratio of y to x.

We can write the ratio of technicians to all ushers(helpers) as y : x

Which implies that 11 : 7,  (since y=11 and x=7)

Or \frac{11}{7} or 11 to 7

<h3>The ratio of technicians to all helpers  is 11 : 7, or \frac{11}{7} or 11 to 7</h3>
