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 .

Calculate the area of a circle with a dime tier of 16cm pi=3
Mashcka [7]

The area of every circle is        (pi) (radius²) .

Radius = 1/2 of the diameter, so the area of your circle is

                   (pi) x (8 cm)²  =  201 cm² .    (rounded)

(pi) is not 3 .   There's nothing wrong with approximating (pi),
but 3 is more than 4.5% wrong, and that's too much.  There's
no reason why  3.14  should be too hard to handle.

Determine the scale factor for each dilation. Determine whether the dilation is an enlargement, reduction, or congruence transfo
scoray [572]

General Idea:

W hen we are given a point P(x, y) centered at origin with a scale factor of k, then the dilated point will be given by P' (kx, ky)

Whenk>1, then P' is enlargement of P

When 0 < k < 1, then P' is reduction of P

Applying the concept:

In the diagram given A'B'C' is enlargement of ABC. So the correct option will be option A. k = 2, enlargement

Answer:

105 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

With mixed numbers you can also write them as functions so 5 11/12 could also be written as 5+11/12.

Once you have rewritten the mixed number it's simply a matter of addition: 100+5+11/12
