If a procedure meets all of the conditions of a binomial distribution except the number of trials is not​ fixed, then the geomet

ric distribution can be used. The probability of getting the first success on the xth trial is given by ​P(x)equalsp (1 minus p )Superscript x minus 1​, where p is the probability of success on any one trial. Subjects are randomly selected for a health survey. The probability that someone is a universal donor​ (with group O and type Rh negative​ blood) is 0.09. Find the probability that the first subject to be a universal blood donor is the seventh person selected.

Answer:

The probability that the first subject to be a universal blood donor is the seventh person selected is 0.0511

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start defining the random variable X.

X : ''The first success is on the xth trial''

X can be modeled as a geometric random variable with the following probability function :

P(X=x)=p(1-p)^{x-1}

Where P(X=x) is the probability of the random variable X to assumes the value ''x''.

The variable p is the success probability.

For this exercise, we define a success as someone randomly selected is a universal donor and that probability is p=0.09

We are looking for : P(X=7)

The probability function is :

P(X=x)=(0.09)(0.91)^{x-1}

P(X=7)=(0.09)(0.91)^{7-1}=(0.09)(0.91)^{6}=0.0511

emmasim [6.3K]

The continent which has 59% of the total population will have more than 5.31 billion people by 2050.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is given that,

  • The total number of people is 9 billion.
  • The estimated number of people in 2050 year is 5.31 billion.

Therefore, you need to find out which continent has the estimated number by finding the percentage value.

<u>To find what percent 5.31 is of billion is of 9 billion :</u>

Let x be the percentage to be calculated.

⇒ x percent of 9 billion is 5.31 billion.

⇒ (x/100) × 9 = 5.31

⇒ x = (5.31 × 100) / 9

⇒ x = 531 / 9

⇒ x = 59 %

∴ The continent which has 59% of the total population will have more than 5.31 billion people by 2050.

From the table, for every 6 containers of water, you need 8 containers of red dye. So, for every one container of red dye you need 0.75 containers of water (6/8). Then, multiply that by 100 (since you wanted to know water necessary for 100 containers of red dye). For 100 containers of red dye, you would need 75 containers of water.
