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).

What does x=??? hurry!!
elena-s [515]

Answer:

17 degrees.

There is a right angle and we know that is 90 degrees. 73 degrees has a vertical angle which is 73 degrees. The opposite vertical angle adds up to another angle which gives you 90. Subtract 73 from 90 and you get 17.

Consider the equation 8x + 5 = 37. Write a real-life scenario that this equation could model.8x+5-5=37-5 8x=32 8x/8=32/8 x=4
laila [671]

Answer: See the full explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can actually do this using various life scenario. Let me help you with this example.

Suppose that one person is called Mike and he needs to buy something, here is your scenario for Mike to get what he want:

Mike wants to buy a pair of shoes that worth 37$ for a soccer game next week. He only has 5$ in his wallet. In order to get the remaining money, he decides to work in a market for a day. If the market pay 8$ per hour, how many hours does Mike need to have enough money to buy the shoes?.

This is the real life scenario. The equation is as above, because you can call "x" the number of hours needed, so as you solve the equation, you'll realize that the number of hours needed is 4:

8x + 5 = 37

8x = 37 - 5

8x = 32

x = 32/8 = 4 hours needed.
