4).38,575 yards on average per day. First. you convert 8000 miles to yards. Then divided that number by 365 because that is how many days are in a year.

The University of Washington claims that it graduates 85% of its basketball players. An NCAA investigation about the graduation

Nonamiya [84]

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events

The given parameters are:

Sample size: n = 20
Proportion: p = 85%

<h3>(a) What is the probability that 11 out of the 20 would graduate? </h3>

Using the binomial probability formula, we have:

$P(X = x) = ^nC_x p^x(1 - p)^{n -x}$

So, the equation becomes

$P(x = 11) = ^{20}C_{11} \times (85\%)^{11} \times (1 - 85\%)^{20 -11}$

This gives

$P(x = 11) = 167960 \times (0.85)^{11} \times 0.15^{9}$

$P(x = 11) = 0.0011$

Express as percentage

$P(x = 11) = 0.11\%$

Hence, the probability that 11 out of the 20 would graduate is 0.11%

<h3>(b) To what extent do you think the university’s claim is true?</h3>

The probability 0.11% is less than 50%.

Hence, the extent that the university’s claim is true is very low

<h3>(c) What is the probability that all 20 would graduate? </h3>

Using the binomial probability formula, we have:

$P(X = x) = ^nC_x p^x(1 - p)^{n -x}$

So, the equation becomes

$P(x = 20) = ^{20}C_{20} \times (85\%)^{20} \times (1 - 85\%)^{20 -20}$

This gives

$P(x = 20) = 1 \times (0.85)^{20} \times (0.15\%)^0$

$P(x = 20) = 0.0388$

Express as percentage

$P(x = 20) = 3.88\%$

Hence, the probability that all 20 would graduate is 3.88%

<h3>(d) The mean and the standard deviation</h3>

The mean is calculated as:

$\mu = np$

So, we have:

$\mu = 20 \times 85\%$

$\mu = 17$

The standard deviation is calculated as:

$\sigma = np(1 - p)$

So, we have:

$\sigma = 20 \times 85\% \times (1 - 85\%)$

$\sigma = 20 \times 0.85 \times 0.15$

$\sigma = 2.55$

Hence, the mean and the standard deviation are 17 and 2.55, respectively.

7x + 2(6x + 9) = 170

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 2(6x + 9) = 170

2(6x + 9) = 12x + 18

7x + 12x + 18 = 170

19x = 152

152/19 = 8

x = 8

During the national day celebrations.Asha decorates her balcony with serial lights of red,green and white colours.The red light

expeople1 [14]

If all three coloured lights blink together at 8:49 pm, they will blink together at 8:50 pm

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that the red light blinks at intervals of 4 seconds, the green at 5 seconds and the white at 6 seconds.

If all three colored lights blink together at 8:49 pm,

We have to find when will they blink together again?

First let us know, at what intervals they all together blink.

For that we have to find the lcm of 4, 5, 6.

L.C.M (4, 5, 6) = 2 x L.C.M(2, 5, 3)

As 2,3,5 are primes, we can’t take common further, so multiply all

= 2 x 2 x 5 x 3

= 4 x 15 = 60

So, after every 60 seconds = 1 minute they will blink.

Then, after 8 : 49 pm, they will blink at 8 : 49 + 1 = 8 : 50 pm.

Hence, they all blink at 8 : 50 pm.
