Marissa is drawing coins from a bag that contains 5 pennies (yellow), 4 nickels (green), 5 dimes

Mathematics

Answer:

\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25=25\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of coins in the bag = 5 + 4 + 5 + 2 = 16 coins

Number of nickels in the bag = 4

We have to find the probability that Marissa draws a nickels from the bag.

Probability is defined as the ratio of Number of "Favorable Outcomes" to "Total number of possible outcomes"

In this case total number of possible outcomes is the total number of coins which is 16.

Favorable/Desires outcome is drawing a Nickle from the bag which are 4 in number. So, number of favorable outcomes is 4

Therefore, the probability that she will draw a nickel = \frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25=25\%

The weekly amount spent by a small company for in-state travel has approximately a normal distribution with mean $1450 and stand
Llana [10]

Answer:

0.0903

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The mean = 1450

The standard deviation = 220

sample mean = 1560

P(X > 1560) = P( Z > \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma})

P(X > 1560) = P(Z > \dfrac{1560 - 1450}{220})

P(X > 1560) = P(Z > \dfrac{110}{220})

P(X> 1560) = P(Z > 0.5)

P(X> 1560) = 1 - P(Z < 0.5)

From the z tables;

P(X> 1560) = 1 - 0.6915

P(X> 1560) = 0.3085

Let consider the given number of weeks = 52

Mean \mu_x = np = 52 × 0.3085 = 16.042

The standard deviation =  \sqrt {n \time p (1-p)}

The standard deviation = \sqrt {52 \times 0.3085 (1-0.3085)}

The standard deviation = 3.3306

Let Y be a random variable that proceeds in a binomial distribution, which denotes the number of weeks in a year that exceeds $1560.

Then;

Pr ( Y > 20) = P( z > 20)

Pr ( Y > 20) = P(Z > \dfrac{20.5 - 16.042}{3.3306})

Pr ( Y > 20) = P(Z >1 .338)

From z tables

P(Y > 20) \simeq 0.0903
