Answer:

<u><em></em></u>

  • <u><em>Yes, it is reasonable to expect that more than one subject will experience​ headaches</em></u>

Explanation:

Notice that where it says "assume that 55 subjects are randomly selected ..." there is a typo. The correct statement is "assume that 5 subjects are randomly selected ..."

You are given the table with the probability distribution, assuming, correctly, the binomial distribution with n = 5 and p = 0.732.

  • p = 0.732 is the probability of success (an individual experiences headaches).
  • n = 5 is the number of trials (number of subjects in the sample).

The meaning of the table of the distribution probability is:

The probability that 0 subjects experience headaches is 0.0014; the probability that 1 subject experience headaches is 0.0189, and so on.

To answer whether it <em>is reasonable to expect that more than one subject will experience​ headaches</em>, you must find the probability that:

  • X = 2 or X = 3 or X = 4 or X = 5

That is:

  • P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5).

That is also the complement of P(X = 0) or P(X = 1)

  • 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1)

From the table:

  • P(X = 0) = 0.0014
  • P(X = 1) = 0.0189

Hence:

  • 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1) = 1 - 0.0014 - 0.0189 = 0.9797

That is very close to 1; thus, it is highly likely that more than 1 subject will experience headaches.

In conclusion, <em>yes, it is reasonable to expect that more than one subject will experience​ headaches</em>

A problem states: "There are 2 more horses than cows in a field. There are 15 animals in the field in all. How many horses are t
mash [69]
Let h =  the number of horses in the field
Let c =  number of cows in the field

There are 2 more horses than cows in the field. Therefore
h = c + 2
 or
 c = h - 2               (1)

There are 15  animals in the field. Therefore
h + c = 15              (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
h + (h - 2) = 15
2h - 2 = 15

Answer:
The correct equation is 
2h - 2 = 15

Given the polynomial bellow which statement is true?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

I think its A

Step-by-step explanation:

I factored the polynomial and its factors turned out to be (x-1)(x^2-2x-4), which eliminated the possibilities of 2 and 3. Then i replaced the (-1) in the place of the x and it turned out to be equal to 2, making the first statement true.
