Dogs are inbred for such desirable characteristics as blue eye color, but an unfortunate by-product of such inbreeding can be th

e emergence of characteristics such as deafness. A 1992 study of Dalmatians (by Strain and others, as reported in The Dalmatians Dilemma) found the following: (i) 31% of all Dalmatians have blue eyes. (ii) 38% of all Dalmatians are deaf. (iii) If a Dalmatian has blue eyes, there is a 42% chance that it is deaf. Based on the results of this study is "having blue eyes" independent of "being deaf"(a) No, since .31 * .38 is not equal to .42.(b) No, since .38 is not equal to .42.(c) No, since .31 is not equal to .42.(d) Yes, since .31 * .38 is not equal to .42.(e) Yes, since .38 is not equal to .42.

Answer:

<h2>Option 2 is the right answer.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to check if the two characteristics, <u>having blue eyes and being deaf are independent of each other or not</u>.

The above two characteristics will be independent if [Probability of being deaf with blue eyes] = {Probability of being deaf } {Probability of having blue eyes}

Now, the probability of having blue eyes is \frac{31}{100}.

The probability that the Dalmatians will be deaf is \frac{38}{100}.

The probability of being deaf with blue eyes is \frac{31}{100} \times\frac{42}{100}.

Since, 38 is not equals to 42, the two characteristics are not independent.

Ruby has a bird feeder which is visited by an average of 13 birds every 2 hours during daylight hours. What is the probability t
zalisa [80]

Answer:

62.93%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve it by a Poisson distribution, where:

p (x = n) = e ^ (- l) * l ^ (x) / x!

Where he would come being the number of birds that there would be in 40 minutes, we know that in 2 hours, that is 120 minutes there are 13, therefore in 40 there would be:

l = 13 * 40/120

l = 4,333

Now, we have p (x> 3) and that is equal to:

p (x> 3) = 1 - p (x <= 3)

So, we calculate the probability from 0 to 3:

 p (x = 0) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (0) / 0! = 0.01313

p (x = 1) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (1) / 1! = 0.0568

p (x = 2) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (2) / 2! = 0.12310

p (x = 3) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (3) / 3! = 0.17767

If we add each one:

0.01313 + 0.0568 + 0.12310 + 0.17767 = 0.3707

replacing:

p (x> 3) = 1 - 0.3707

p (x> 3) = 0.6293

Which means that the probability is 62.93%

Tom wants to place a photograph that is 8.5 inches wide on his science fair poster. His poster board is 21.25 inches wide. How f
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

6 3/8 inches (6.375 inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplicity we'll assume that both the photo and the poster board are square.  To determine the width of the border, subtract 8.5 inches from the poster board width 21.25 inches, obtaining 12.75 inches, and then divide that 12.75 inches by 2:  6.375 inches (6 3/8 inches).  

Set the photo 6 3/8 inches from each edge of the poster board.
