Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

because the top and bottom lines are parallel, we can conclude that the 2 triangles (top and bottom) are similar triangles. This means the sides lengths of smaller triangle is proportional to the respective sides on the larger triangle. With this, we can form the following equation:

x/48 = 21/12 (multiply both sides by 48)

x = (21/12)· 48

x = 21 ·4

x = 84

Sam intends to roll a six sided cube 100 times. What is the probability model he can use to predict whether or not each roll wil

bekas [8.4K]

The outcomes of rolling fair six sided die is $\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$ . The prime numbers in the above outcomes are $\{2,3,5\}$ . The probability of not rolling a prime number is $p=\frac{3}{6}= 0.5$ .

Each trial is independent.

In the given experiment of 100 trials, the binomial probability model can be used to predict the number of occurrence of non-prime numbers (X). The probability mass function is

$P(X=x)=C(100,x)p^x(1-p)^{100-x},x=0,1,2,3,...,100$ . Since $p=0.5,1-p=0.5$

$P(X=x)=C(100,x)0.5^x(0.5)^{100-x},x=0,1,2,3,...,100 \\ P(X=x)=C(100,x)(0.5)^{100},x=0,1,2,3,...,100$

Assume that females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of μ=73.0 beats per minute and a standard deviati

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

a. the probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute is 0.5948

b. If 25 adult females are randomly selected, the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean less than 76 beats per minute is 0.8849

c. D. Since the original population has a normal distribution, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean μ =73.0

Standard deviation σ =12.5

a. If 1 adult female is randomly selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is less than 76 beats per minute.

Let X represent the random variable that is normally distributed with a mean of 73.0 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 12.5 beats per minute.

Then : X $\sim$ N ( μ = 73.0 , σ = 12.5)
