Police can estimate the speed of a vehicle before the brakes are applied using the formula 0.75d=(s^2)/(30.25) where s is the sp

eed in miles per hour and d is the length of the vehicle’s skid marks. What was the approximate speed of a vehicle that left a skid mark measuring 140 feet?

We know that <span>0.75d=(s^2)/(30.25) , so for d=140ft
0.75 x 140= </span>(s^2)/(30.25)  implies   0.75 x 140 x 30.25)= (s^2), and then
s= sqrt( 0.75 x 140 x <span>30.25)=56.35 miles /hour</span>

In the following problem, check that it is appropriate to use the normal approximation to the binomial. Then use the normal dist
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a) Bi [P ( X >=15 ) ] ≈ 0.9944

b) Bi [P ( X >=30 ) ] ≈ 0.3182

c)  Bi [P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ] ≈ 0.6623

d) Bi [P ( X >40 ) ] ≈ 0.0046  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Total sample size n = 745

- The probability of success p = 0.037

- The probability of failure q = 0.963

Find:

a. 15 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday

b. 30 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday

c. between 25 and 35 will live beyond their 90th birthday

d. more than 40 will live beyond their 90th birthday

Solution:

- The condition for normal approximation to binomial distribution:                                                

                    n*p = 745*0.037 = 27.565 > 5

                    n*q = 745*0.963 = 717.435 > 5

                    Normal Approximation is valid.

a) P ( X >= 15 ) ?

 - Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:

                Bi [P ( X >=15 ) ] = N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ]

 - Then the parameters u mean and σ standard deviation for normal distribution are:

                u = n*p = 27.565

                σ = sqrt ( n*p*q ) = sqrt ( 745*0.037*0.963 ) = 5.1522

- The random variable has approximated normal distribution as follows:

                X~N ( 27.565 , 5.1522^2 )

- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:

                N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= (14.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )

                N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= -2.5358 )

- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:

                P ( Z >= -2.5358 ) = 0.9944

                N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= -2.5358 ) = 0.9944

Hence,

                Bi [P ( X >=15 ) ] ≈ 0.9944

b) P ( X >= 30 ) ?

 - Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:

                Bi [P ( X >=30 ) ] = N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ]

- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:

                N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= (29.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )

                N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= 0.37556 )

- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:

                P ( Z >= 0.37556 ) = 0.3182

                N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= 0.37556 ) = 0.3182

Hence,

                Bi [P ( X >=30 ) ] ≈ 0.3182  

c) P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ?

 - Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:

                Bi [P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ] = N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 35.5 ) ]

- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:

                N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 35.5 ) ]= P ( (24.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 =<Z =< (35.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )

                N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 25.5 ) ] = P ( -0.59489 =<Z =< 1.54011 )

- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:

                P ( -0.59489 =<Z =< 1.54011 ) = 0.6623

               N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 35.5 ) ]= P ( -0.59489 =<Z =< 1.54011 ) = 0.6623

Hence,

                Bi [P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ] ≈ 0.6623

d) P ( X > 40 ) ?

 - Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:

                Bi [P ( X >40 ) ] = N [ P ( X > 41 ) ]

- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:

                N [ P ( X > 41 ) ] = P ( Z > (41 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )

                N [ P ( X > 41 ) ] = P ( Z > 2.60762 )

- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:

               P ( Z > 2.60762 ) = 0.0046

               N [ P ( X > 41 ) ] =  P ( Z > 2.60762 ) = 0.0046

Hence,

                Bi [P ( X >40 ) ] ≈ 0.0046

What is the probability that a student eye color would be blue if their grade in physics is A? A two way table is presented belo
Zarrin [17]
The <u>correct answer</u> is:

16/45.

Explanation:

We want the probability that a student's eye color is blue if they made an A in physics.  This means we look at the column for students with an A.

There are 32 students with blue eyes in the A column.

This is out of 32+58=90 students that made an A.

This makes the probability 32/90, which simplifies to 16/45.

Mr. Anderson tosses a coin 15 times and it landed on tails 9 times. What is the probability of landing on tails on his 16th toss
Anestetic [448]
It is a 50 percent chance. This is because there is only two possibilities that can occur. It does not matter how many times the coin has been flipped.
