Answer:

Probability of at least 50 obese individuals in our sample is 0.92364 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of 300 adults is taken from the state of Colorado, where the rate of obesity is 19.8% .

Let X = Number of obese individuals

Firstly, X ~ Binom(n=300,p=0.198)

For approximating binomial distribution into normal distribution, firstly we have to calculate \mu and \sigma^{2} .

Mean of Normal distribution, \mu = n * p = 300 * 0.198 = 59.4

Variance of Normal distribution,\sigma^{2} = n * p * (1-p) = 300 *0.198 *0.802 = 47.64

So, now X ~ N(\mu = 59.4 , \sigma^{2} = 47.64)

The standard normal z score distribution is given by;

                     Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

So, probability of at least 50 obese individuals in our sample = P(X >= 50)

  P(X >= 50) = P(X > 49.5)  {using continuity correction}

  P(X > 49.5) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{49.5 - 59.4}{6.9} ) = P(Z > -1.43) = P(Z < 1.43) = 0.92364

Therefore, required probability is 0.92364 .

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

36.75 × 4 = 147

Step 2:

51 × 3 = 153

Step 3:

153 - 147 = 6

The group of 12 students will save $6 by choosing the Science Center.

The ratio of blue marbles to red marbles in a box is 3 to 2. if there are 12 blue marbles in a box then how many red marbles are
valkas [14]
The answer is: 8 red marbles!

This is because the equation can be written out like this
Blue to red - 3:2
Now it is, blue to red - 12:x

We have to think, what is the difference from the first equation to the second. We know the number 3 times 4 = 12, so we would do the same for the red, 2 times 4=8

If this helped, give me brainliest :)
