Mathematics
1 answer:
Oksana_A [137]3 years ago

Answer: The percent of the estimated time is the actual time is about 14%.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given,

Actual time of completing the job = 5\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ days}=\dfrac{11}{2}\text{ days}

Estimated time for completing the job = 4\dfrac{3}{4}\ \text{days}=\dfrac{19}{4}\ \text{days}

The percentage error is given by:-

\%\text{ error}= \dfrac{|\text{Estimated-Actual}|}{\text{Actual}}\times100

=\dfrac{|\dfrac{19}{4}-\dfrac{11}{2}|}{\dfrac{11}{2}}\times100\\\\\\=\dfrac{|\dfrac{19-22}{4}|}{\dfrac{11}{2}}\times100\\\\\\=\dfrac{|\dfrac{-3}{4}|}{\dfrac{11}{2}}\times100\\\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}}{\dfrac{11}{2}}\times100\\\\\\=\dfrac{3\times2}{11\times4}\times100\\\\\approx14\%

The percent of the estimated time is the actual time is about 14%.

Suppose that 30% of a population carries a certain gene. You want to estimate the probability that it will take at least a sampl
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since only 30% of the population carries the gene, that would mean 70% doesn't carry it. Since you are using 10 digits for this experiment (0-9) this would mean that 0-2 would carry the gene (this equals 30%) and 3-9 would not (70%)

List the elements of the set given below.
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The set = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us explain how to solve this question

∵ The set = {x : x is a digit in the number 241,532)

→ That means the elements of the set are the digits of the given number

∴ The elements in this set are the digits of the number 241,532

∵ The digits of the number 241,532 are 2, 4, 1, 5, 3, 2

→ In any set of numbers,

  • Do not repeat any number
  • Arrange the numbers

∴ The elements of the set are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

∴ The set = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

A local animal rescue organization receives an average of 0.55 rescue calls per hour. Use the Poisson distribution to find the p
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

B) 0.894

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given interval.

A local animal rescue organization receives an average of 0.55 rescue calls per hour.

This means that \mu = 0.55

Probability that during a randomly selected hour, the organization will receive fewer than two calls.

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

In which

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.55}*(0.55)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.577

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.55}*(0.55)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.317

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.577 + 0.317 = 0.894
