The Center for Medicare and Medical Services reported that there were 295,000 appeals for hospitalization and other Part A Medic

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

(a) 0.00605

(b) 0.0403

(c) 0.9536

(d) 0.98809

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 40% of first-round appeals were successful (The Wall Street Journal, October 22, 2012) and suppose ten first-round appeals have just been received by a Medicare appeals office.

This situation can be represented through Binomial distribution as;

$P(X=r)= \binom{n}{r}p^{r}(1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,....$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 10

r = number of success

p = probability of success which in our question is % of first-round

appeals that were successful, i.e.; 40%

So, here X ~ $Binom(n=10,p=0.40)$

(a) Probability that none of the appeals will be successful = P(X = 0)

P(X = 0) = $\binom{10}{0}0.40^{0}(1-0.40)^{10-0}$

= $1*0.6^{10}$ = 0.00605

(b) Probability that exactly one of the appeals will be successful = P(X = 1)

P(X = 1) = $\binom{10}{1}0.40^{1}(1-0.40)^{10-1}$

= $10*0.4^{1} *0.6^{10-1}$ = 0.0403

(c) Probability that at least two of the appeals will be successful = P(X>=2)

P(X >= 2) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1)

= 1 - $\binom{10}{0}0.40^{0}(1-0.40)^{10-0} - \binom{10}{1}0.40^{1}(1-0.40)^{10-1}$

= 1 - 0.00605 - 0.0403 = 0.9536

(d) Probability that more than half of the appeals will be successful = P(X > 0.5)

For this probability we will convert our distribution into normal such that;

X ~ N( $\mu = n*p=4,\sigma^{2}= n*p*q = 2.4$ )

and standard normal z has distribution as;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

P(X > 0.5) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{0.5-4}{\sqrt{2.4} }$ ) = P(Z > -2.26) = P(Z < 2.26) = 0.98809

A restaurant adds a 20% tip to the bills of parties of 6 or more people. Suppose a server waits on five such tables. The bill

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

$218.70

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to first convert the percentage to the decimal.

20% = 0.2

Now, you need to find 20% of each bill by multiplying each bill by 0.2.

0.2(185.45) + 0.2(205.20) + 0.2(195.05) + 0.2(245.80) + 0.2(262.00)

Because of the distributive property, you can add up the bills and multiply the sum by 0.2.

0.2(185.45 + 205.20 + 195.05 + 245.80 + 262.00)

0.2(1093.50)

218.7

The waiter made $218.70 in tips.

What is 39.79949748 rounded to the nearest hundredth?

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

$Number = 39.80$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Number = 39.79949748$

Required

Approximate (to the nearest 100th)

This means that, we approximate at the second digit after the decimal.

So:

i.e,

Number = 39.79 [Begin approximation] 949748

The first digit after [Begin approximation] is then approximated using the following rule:

$0 - 4 \approx 0$

$5 - 9 \approx 1\\$

Since 9 falls in $5 - 9 \approx 1\\$ category, the number becomes:

$Number = 39.[79+1]$

$Number = 39.80$
