Annette [7]3 years ago
8 0

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>

A painter is painting a rectangular wall that measures 23.6 ft by 19.2 ft. Each gallon can of paint covers 200 square feet. What
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the rectangular wall = 23.6 feet

Width of the rectangular wall = 19.2 feet

Surface area of the wall = 23.6 × 19.2

                                        = 453.12 square feet

∵ 200 square feet of the wall is covered by the amount of paint = 1 gallon

∴ 1 square feet of the wall will be covered by the amount of paint = \frac{1}{200} gallons

∴ 453.12 square feet will require the amount of paint = \frac{453.12}{200}

                                                                                         = 2.2656 gallons

Therefore, minimum 3 gallons will be required to paint the wall.

Human heights are one of many biological random variables that can be modeled by the normal distribution. a 2002 study in the us
Rama09 [41]
To answer this item, find first the z-score of the given data.

    z-score = (x - m) / d

where x is data point, m is the mean and d is the standard deviation

Substituting the given values,

    z-score = (188 - 176.7) / 9.9  = 1.14

This translates to a percentage of 87.29%. 

Because we are asked of the percentage of those with height greater than this, that would be,
     100 - 87.29% = 12.71%

Answer: 12.71%
