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.

Use function notation to represent how much the volume of the box (in cubic inches) changes by if the cutout length increases fr
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Increases 64 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box can be calculated using formula

V=l\cdot w\cdot h,

where

V = volume,

l = length,

w = width,

h = height

If the length was 0.3 inches, then the volume was

V_1=0.3\cdot w\cdot h=0.3wh

When the length became 1.2 inches, then all dimensions became 1.2 :0.3 =4 times greater, then the volume was

V_2=1.2\cdot (4w)\cdot (4h)=19.2wh

The volume increases

\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}=\dfrac{1.92wh}{0.3wh}=64 times

Area and circumference of this circle
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The radius is 6 cm

To find the area + circumference we need to use 2 formulas:

Area: pi* radius^2

Circumference: 2*pi*r

First we can do the area

I will use "pi" for pi instead of 3.14

pi * 6^2

= 36 pi

The area is 36 pi

Next, circumference

2 * pi *r

2*pi*6

= 12 pi

So the area is 36 pi, and the circumference is 12 pi

Ariel swims 2 1/6 miles in every 1/3 hour. Enter the number of miles Ariel swims in 1 minute.
weqwewe [10]

In order to find the distance covered in 1 minute, we need to divide distance covered 2 1/6 miles by 20 minutes.We are given : Ariel swims 2 1/6 miles in every 1/3 hour.

Let us convert 1/3 hour into minutes.

There are 60 minutes in an hour.

Therefore, 1/3 hours = 60 × 1/3 = 20 minutes.

So, we could say, "Ariel swims 2 1/6 miles in every 20 minutes".


2 1/6÷ 20 = 13/6 ÷ 20.

Let us convert division sign into multiplication and flip 20 to 1/20.

We get

<h3>13/6 × 1/20 = 13/120 miles in 1 minute.</h3><h3>In decimal 0.11 mile in 1 minute.</h3>
