According to a study done by a university​ student, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mou

th when sneezing is . Suppose you sit on a bench in a mall and observe​ people's habits as they sneeze. ​(a) What is the probability that among randomly observed individuals exactly do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing? ​(b) What is the probability that among randomly observed individuals fewer than do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing? ​(c) Would you be surprised​ if, after observing ​individuals, fewer than half covered their mouth when​ sneezing? Why? ​(a) The probability that exactly individuals do not cover their mouth is nothing. ​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.) ​(b) The probability that fewer than individuals do not cover their mouth is nothing. ​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.) ​(​c) Fewer than half of individuals covering their mouth ▼ would would not be surprising because the probability of observing fewer than half covering their mouth when sneezing is nothing​, which ▼ is is not an unusual event. ​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

 P(X = 8) =  0.0037

b

 P(X <  5) =  0.805

c

 P(X > 6) =  0.0206

I would be surprised because the value is very small , less the 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mouth when sneezing is p = 0.267

Generally data collected from this study follows  binomial  distribution because the number of trials is  finite , there are only two outcomes, (covering  , and  not covering mouth when sneezing ) , the trial are independent

Hence for a randomly selected variable  X we have that  

   X \ \ \~ \ \ { B ( p , n )}

The probability distribution function for binomial  distribution is  

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

Considering question a

Generally the  the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals exactly 8 do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing is mathematically represented as

     P(X = 8) =  ^{12} C_8 *  (0.267)^8 *  (1- 0.267)^{12-8}

Here C denotes  combination

So

     P(X = 8) =  495  *  0.000025828 * 0.28867947

    P(X = 8) =  0.0037

Considering question b

Generally the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals fewer than 5 do not cover their mouth when​ sneezing is mathematically represented as

     P(X <  5 ) =[P(X = 0 ) + \cdots + P(X = 4)]

=>   P(X <  5 ) =[ ^{12} C_0 *  (0.267)^0 *  (1- 0.267)^{12-0} + \cdots +  ^{12} C_4 *  (0.267)^4 *  (1- 0.267)^{12-4} ]

=> P(X <  5 )  =  0.02406 +  0.10516 + 0.21067 + 0.25580 + 0.20964

=>  P(X <  5) =  0.805

Considering question c

Generally the probability that fewer than half(6) covered their mouth when​ sneezing(i.e the probability the greater than half do not cover their mouth when sneezing) is mathematically represented as

      P(X > 6) =  1 - p(X \le  6)

=>    P(X > 6) = 1 - [P(X = 0) + \cdots + P(X =6)]

=>    P(X > 6)=1 - [^{12} C_0 *  (0.267)^0 *  (1- 0.267)^{12-0}+ \cdots + ^{12} C_4 *  (0.267)^6 *  (1- 0.267)^{12-6} ]

=>    P(X > 6)= 1 - [0.02406 + \cdots + 0.0519 ]  

=>    P(X > 6) =  0.0206

I would be surprised because the value is very small , less the 0.05

The volume of construction work was increased by 60% but the productivity of labor increased by only 25%. By what percent must t
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: 28 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, Initially,

V be the volume of construction work

r be the productivity of labor  

n be the number of days

x be the number workers.

Thus,  V  = r × n × x   ------------(1)      

Now, According to the question,

The volume of construction work was increased by 60% but the productivity of labor increased by only 25%.

Therefore,

Final volume of the work = 160% of V = 1.6 V

Final productivity = 125% of r = 1.25 r

Also, the time is same in both conditions,

Final time taken = n

Let y be the number of people after changes.

Thus, 1.6 V = 1.25 r × n × y -----(2)

Dividing equation (1) by equation (2)

We get, y = 1.60 x/1.25

Thus, the changes in the number of workers

= \frac{(\frac{1.60x}{1.25}-x) }{x}\times 100

= 0.28 × 100

= 28 %
