Answer:

The probability that at least two-third of vehicles in the sample turn is 0.4207.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of vehicles that turn left or right.

The proportion of the vehicles that turn is, <em>p</em> = 2/3.

The nest <em>n</em> = 50 vehicles entering this intersection from the east, is observed.

Any vehicle taking a turn is independent of others.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 50 and <em>p</em> = 2/3.

But the sample selected is too large and the probability of success is close to 0.50.

So a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied to approximate the distribution of <em>X</em> if the following conditions are satisfied:

  1. np ≥ 10
  2. n(1 - p) ≥ 10

Check the conditions as follows:

np=50\times \frac{2}{3}=33.333>10\\\\n(1-p)=50\times \frac{1}{3}= = 16.667>10

Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.

So, X\sim N(np, np(1-p))

Compute the probability that at least two-third of vehicles in the sample turn as follows:

P(X\geq \frac{2}{3}\times 50)=P(X\geq 33.333)=P(X\geq 34)

                        =P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{34-33.333}{\sqrt{50\times \frac{2}{3}\times\frac {1}{3}}})

                        =P(Z>0.20)\\=1-P(Z

Thus, the probability that at least two-third of vehicles in the sample turn is 0.4207.

Dennis walks from (–5, –2) to (–5, 5) on the map. Which expression represents the distance that he walked? |-2| + |5| |-5 + 5| |
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

|-2| + |5|

Step-by-step explanation:

Dennis walks from (–5, –2) to (–5, 5) on the map.

Point on the format (x,y). On the x-coordinate, he stayed at the same position, x = -5, so it does not enter the distance calculation.

On the y-coordinate, he went from -2 to 5, so the distance is of:

d = 5 - (-2) = 5 + 2 = |5| + |2| = |5| + |-2| = 7

So the correct option is |-2| + |5|
