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).

Write $\frac{99}{100}\cdot(0.\overline{4})$ as a fully simplified fraction.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

  • \frac{11}{25}

Explanation:

The expression that must be rewritten as a fully simplified fraction is:

  • \frac{99}{100}\cdot(0.\overline{4})

You must, first, convert     0.\overline{4}    as a fraction.

The line over the decimal 4 means that the digit 4 repeats indefinetly.

To find the fraction that represents this number you follow this procedure:

F=0.\overline 4\\ \\ 10F=4.\overline 4\\ \\ 10F-F=4\\ \\ 9F=4\\ \\ F=4/9

Now, you can mutiply both fractions:

\frac{99}{100}.\frac{4}{9}=\frac{99\times 4}{100\times9}=\frac{11}{25}

A basketball team played six games. In those games, the team won by 7 points, lost by 7, won by 8, won by 9, lost by 4, and won
Gemiola [76]

Based on the difference in scores for the basketball team over the six games, the mean difference in scores was 3

<h3>How to find the mean difference in scores?</h3>

The basketball team had 6 games and in these games, their scores were listed as differences in game scores.

The mean of these differences in scores can be found by adding the differences where they won and subtracting the differences where they lost and then dividing by the number of games:

The mean difference in game scores is:

= (7 - 7 + 8 + 9 - 4 + 5) / 6

= 18 / 6

= 3

There are many cylinders with a height of 9 inches. Let R represent the radius in inches and V represent the volume in cubic inc
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

R V

1  9π in³ 

2  36π in³

3  81π in³

Step-by-step explanation:

For, r = 1

V = π(1)²9 = 9π in³

For, r = 2

V = π(2)²9 = 4*9π in³ = 36π in³

For r = 3

V = π(3)²9 = 9*9π in³ = 81π in

R V

1  9π in³ 

2  36π in³

3  81π in³
