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

Use a system of linear equations with two variables and two equations to solve. A number is 9 more than another number. Twice
Troyanec [42]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (x, y) = (3, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given variable definitions, we can write the equations ...

  y = x + 9

  2(x +y) = 30

__

Solving the second equation for y, we have ...

  y = 15 -x

Substituting this into the first equation gives ...

  15 -x = x +9

  6 = 2x . . . . . . . . . add x-9

  3 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  y = 3+9 = 12 . . . . substitute into the first equation

The numbers are (x, y) = (3, 12).

I’m confused on this one
ad-work [718]

The question is "What is the scale of the model to the actual statue"


That means you must put 2/15.


2 being the model


15 being the actual statue


Take that fraction and equal is to 1/x.


Multiply 15 to 1 and 2 to x.


In the end, to solve, you divide 15 by 2x.


The answer is X=7.5


1 : 7.5
