Answer:

<em>Standard deviation  for the number of people with the genetic mutation = 4.178</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:-

Given random sample size 'n' =600

proportion of the Population 'p'=3% or  0.03

Let 'X' be the random variable in binomial distribution

Mean of the  binomial distribution

                              μ = n p

                                 = 600 X 0.03

                                = 18

<em>Mean of the  binomial distribution ' μ ' =18</em>

<em>Standard deviation of the binomial distribution</em>

<em>                                 σ = </em>\sqrt{npq} = \sqrt{600 X 0.03 X 0.97} = \sqrt{17.46} = 4.178

<u><em>Conclusion:</em></u><em>-</em>

<em>Standard deviation  for the number of people with the genetic mutation = 4.178</em>

It is known that a certain function is an inverse proportion. Find the formula for this function if it is known that the functio
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

y=\frac{24}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a certain function is an inverse proportion. We are asked to find the formula for the function if it is known that the function is equal to 12 when the independent variable is equal to 2.  

We know that two inversely proportional quantities are in form y=\frac{k}{x}, where y is inversely proportional to x and k is constant of variation.

Upon substituting y=12 and x=2 in above equation, we will get:

12=\frac{k}{2}

Let us solve for constant of variation.

12\cdot 2=\frac{k}{2}\cdot 2

24=k

Now, we will substitute k=12 in inversely proportion equation as:

y=\frac{24}{x}

Therefore, the formula for the given scenario would be y=\frac{24}{x}.

Ksenya-84 [330]

They diagonal through the interior of the cube is the longest. The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle. The diagonal of the cube is the hypotenuse of a right angle with legs that are diagonal of a face and an edge. The edges are the shortest. They are legs of a right triangle with the diagonal of a face as the hypotenuse.
