Blood type AB is the rarest blood type, occurring in only 4% of the population in the United States. In Australia, only 1.5% of

the population has blood type AB. Suppose a random sample of 50 U.S. residents and 40 Australians is obtained. Consider the random variables described below: X: the number of U.S. residents with blood type AB Y: the number of Australians with blood type AB What is the probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB?

Answer:

There is a 27.62% probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each U.S. resident, there are only two outcomes possible. Either they have blood type AB, or they do not. This means that we can solve this problem using binomial probability distribution concepts.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And \pi is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

50 U.S residents are sampled, so n = 50

4% of the U.S population has blood type AB, so p = 0.04.

What is the probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB?

This is P(X = 2). So:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{50,2}.(0.04)^{2}.(0.96)^{48} = 0.2762

There is a 27.62% probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB.

Which of the numbers below could be terms in the sequence an=4n-7 A)29 B)21 C)20 D)28
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

A)29 and B) 21,

Step-by-step explanation:

First,in the sequencea_n=4n-7 , the parameter n must to be a integer.

Second, we need to solve the equations by  n.

n=(a_n+7)/4

All the option in the problem represent an a_n

Then, we need to prove all number in the options, if the result is a integer number, this option can be part of the sequence.

For A)

n=(29+7)/4=9\\

For B)

n=(21+7)/4=7\\

For C)

n=(20+7)/4=6.75\\

For D)

n=(28+7)/4=8.75\\

Only A) and B)  only A and B meet the requirement

Answer:

I believe the question says "5j + 16 - 12(-9j - 4) - 12j"  I hope I'm correct because I have almost no idea what you typed.

If you did type "5j + 16 - 12(-9j - 4) - 12j" then your answer would be 133j + 52 I believe. You never put how you would like your problem to be solved, so I simplified.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps.
