A pathologist knows that 14.9% of all deaths are attributable to myocardial infarctions (a type of heart disease). (Either you h

ave myocardial infarction or you don’t)
a. Find the mean and standard deviation for the number of such deaths that will occur in typical region with 5000 deaths.









b. In one region, 5000 death certificates are examined, and it is found that 896 deaths were attributable to myocardial infarction. Is there cause for concern? Why or why not?

Answer:

a) The mean number is 745 and the standard deviation is 25.18.

b) 896 deaths is a significantly high number, which means that there is cause for concern.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each death, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is attributable to myocardial infarctions, or it is not. The probability of a death being attributable to myocardial infarctions is independent of other deaths. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

A value X is significantly high is:

X > E(X) + 2\sqrt{V(X)}

In this problem:

p = 0.149, n = 5000

a. Find the mean and standard deviation for the number of such deaths that will occur in typical region with 5000 deaths.

E(X) = np = 5000*0.149 = 745

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{5000*0.149*0.851} = 25.18

The mean number is 745 and the standard deviation is 25.18.

b. In one region, 5000 death certificates are examined, and it is found that 896 deaths were attributable to myocardial infarction. Is there cause for concern? Why or why not?

Is 896 a significantly high number?

E(X) + 2\sqrt{V(X)} = 745 + 2*25.18 = 795.36

895 > 795.36

896 deaths is a significantly high number, which means that there is cause for concern.

Area of circle with diameter of 1 m?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

A = 0.785m²

B = 31400cm²

C = 7850cm²

D = 785,000mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we'll have to find the area of a circle which is

Area of a circle = πr²

1. The diameter of the circle = 1m

Area of a circle = πr²

r = radius of the circle

π = 3.14

Radius = diameter / 2

Radius = 1 / 2 = 0.5m

Area = 3.14 × (0.5)²

Area = 3.14 × 0.25

Area = 0.785m²

2. Radius = 100cm

Area of a circle = πr²

Area = 3.14 × (100)²

Area = 3.14 × 10000

Area = 31400cm²

3. Diameter = 100cm

Area = πr²

Radius = diameter / 2

Radius = 100 / 2

Radius = 50cm

Area = πr²

Area = 3.14 × (50)²

Area = 3.14 × 2500

Area = 7850cm²

4. Radius = 500mm

Area = πr²

Area = 3.14 × (500)²

Area = 3.14 × 250,000

Area = 785,000mm²

Please answer this as fast as you can In the graphic above, ΔABC ≅ ΔEDC by: HL. AAS. AAA. SSS.
Masja [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles by definition have 3 sides. If the sides are corresponding then it is beneficial to us if they are the same length as well. If all 3 sides in one triangle are equal in length to the corresponding sides in another triangle, then the triangles are congruent by SSS (side-side-side).  This is the case for us. Side EC is corresponding and congruent to side AC; side CD is corresponding and congruent to side CB; side ED is corresponding and congruent to side AB.
