Answer:

Sd(X) =\sqrt{1.2}=1.095

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=5, p=0.4)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

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

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

The mean for the binomial distribution is given by:

E(X) =np=5*0.4=2

And the variance is given by:

Var(X) = np(1-p) =5*0.4*(1-0.4)=1.2

And the deviation is just the square root of the variance so we got:

Sd(X) =\sqrt{1.2}=1.095

There are 270 students at Colfax Middle School, where the ratio of boys to girls is 5:4. There are 180 students at Winthrop Midd
zavuch27 [327]

Given:

Total number of students at Colfax Middle School = 270

Ratio of boys to girls is 5:4.

Total number of students at Winthrop Middle School = 180

Ratio of boys to girls is 4:5.

The two schools hold a dance and all students from both schools attend.

To find:

The fraction of the students at the dance are girls

Solution:

There are 270 students at Colfax Middle School, where the ratio of boys to girls is 5:4.

5+4=9

Number of boys =270\times \dfrac{5}{9}=150

Number of girls =270\times \dfrac{4}{9}=120

There are 180 students at Winthrop Middle School, where the ratio of boys to girls is 4:5.

4+5=9

Number of boys =180\times \dfrac{4}{9}=80

Number of girls =180\times \dfrac{5}{9}=100

Now,

Total number of students in both schools = 270+180

                                                                = 450

Total number of girls in both schools = 120+100

                                                         = 220

The fraction of the students at the dance are girls is

\text{Required fraction}=\dfrac{\text{Total number of girls in both schools}}{\text{Total number of students in both schools}}

\text{Required fraction}=\dfrac{220}{450}

\text{Required fraction}=\dfrac{22}{45}

Therefore, the required fraction is \dfrac{22}{45}.
