Answer:

sd(X)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{250*0.427*(1-0.427)}=7.82

The best option is:

B.7.82

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".  

Data given

p_C represent the real population proportion for residents born in Colorado  

\hat p_C =0.427 represent the estimated proportion for rsidents born in Colorado

n_C=250 is the sample size selected

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest (number of residents in the sample), on this case we now that:  

X \sim Binom(n=250, p=0.427)  

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 expected value is given by this formula:

E(X) = np=250*0.427=106.75

And the standard deviation for the random variable is given by:

sd(X)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{250*0.427*(1-0.427)}=7.82

The best option is:

B.7.82

a carpenter lays 16 squares feet of tiles in 1.5 of an hour.how many squares feet of tiles does the carpenter lay per hour?
lesya [120]
I believe that the answer is about 11 square feet because when you divide 16 by 1.5, you get 10.666666667, and most likely they won't be accepting an answer like that. So, you round to the nearest square feet and you get 11.

Answer:

The function is 200+50t (t= # of months)

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to do this is to look at the question, and see no matter what, we have to pay 200 dollars to start. After which, they charge 50 bucks a month. Knowing this, we can make a function using f(x). Let C(t)= cost. Included is that graph. So for these questions, we need to see that there is an independent and a dependent variable, and we need to see that cost is affected by time. Hope this helps.

A square piece of paper 10 cm on a side is rolled to form the lateral surface area of a cylinder and then a top and bottom are a
Anika [276]

Answer:

The surface = pi*10cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of any rectangle is Base *  Height,

We know that the square originally has 10cm High, when is rolled to form a cylinder, it's new shape has a bottom side that is equals to a circle.

The length of a circle is 2*pi*Radio= pi*Diameter.

Since the square has the same length in each side, we know that pi*Diameter= 10cm*pi

The surface (area) of the cylinder is= Base * Height= 10cm*10cm*pi
