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.

Answer:

[-5, 4) ∪ (4, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given functions:

f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x-3}

g(x)=\sqrt{x+5}

Composite function:

\begin{aligned}(f\:o\:g)(x)&=f[g(x)]\\ & =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x+5}-3} \end{aligned}

Domain: input values (x-values)

For (f\:o\:g)(x) to be defined:

x+5\geq 0 \implies x\geq -5

\sqrt{x+5}\neq 3 \implies x\neq 4

Therefore, -5\leq x < 4  and  x > 4

⇒  [-5, 4) ∪ (4, ∞)

Solve for x &amp; y solve x = 3 + yy = -2x + 9
sergey [27]

x = 3 + y Eqn(1)

y = -2x + 9​ Eqn(2)

Let us solve the system of equations with the substitution method

x - 3 = y (Subtracting 3 from both sides of the Eqn(1))

Replacing y = x - 3 in Eqn (2), we have:

x - 3 = -2x + 9

x = -2x + 9 + 3 (Adding 3 to both sides of the equation)

x + 2x = 9 + 3 (Adding 2x to both sides of the equation)

3x = 12 ( Adding like terms)

x = 12/3 (Dividing by 3 on both sides of the equation)

x = 4

Replacing x=4 in Eqn(1), we have:

4 = 3 + y

4 - 3 = y (Subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation)

y=1

The answers are:

x= 4 and y=1

there is a population of 100,000 bacteria in a colony . if the number of bacteria doubles every 3 hours what will be 6 hours fro
kow [346]

Answer:

400,000 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

If we start at 100,000 and double every three hours until 6 hours, to colony will be at 400,000 bacteria.

First find out how many times it will double by dividing 6/3=2. It will double twice in 6 hours. Next double 100,000 once, to get 200,000. Then, double it once more to get to the final answer of 400,000 bacteria.

Hope this helps!
