Answer:

Probability that Hannah only has to buy 3 or less boxes before getting a prize is 0.784

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, 40% of cereal boxes contain a prize

⇒probability of getting a prize on opening a box, P(A)=0.4

where A is the event of getting a prize on opening a cereal box

and probability of not getting a prize on opening a box, P(A')=1-P(A)=0.6

where A' is the event of not getting a prize on opening a cereal box

This problem needs to be divided into 3 situation:

  • Case 1, Where Hannah gets prize when she buys the first box:

Let K be the event of Hannah winning the prize on buying the first box.

⇒P(K)=P(A)=0.4

  • Case 2, Where Hannah gets prize when she buys the second box:

I<u>n this event Hannah should not get the prize in first box but should get the prize on buying the second box</u>

Let L be the event of Hannah winning the prize on buying the second box

So, P(L)=P(A')·P(A)

           =(0.6)·(0.4)

           =0.24

  • Case 3,Where Hannah gets prize when she buys the third box:

<u>In this event Hannah should not get the prize in first and second box but should get the prize on buying the third box</u>

Let L be the event of Hannah winning the prize on buying the third box

So, P(L)=P(A')·P(A')·P(A)

           =(0.6)·(0.6)·(0.4)

           =0.144

Let N be the event of Hannah winning the prize on buying 3 or less boxes before getting a prize

⇒N=K∪L∪M

Now, Required probability is P(N)=P(K∪L∪M)=P(K)+P(L)+P(M) [As events K,L and M are independent and disjoint events]

⇒P(N)=0.4+0.24+0.144

         =0.784

insens350 [35]

Answer:

\large\boxed{f(x)=(x+8)^2-110}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{The vertex form of equation}\ y=ax^2+bx+c:\\\\y=a(x-h)^2+k\\\\\text{We have the equation:}\\f(x)=x^2+16x-46=x^2+2(x)(8)-46=x^2+2(x)(8)+8^2-8^2-46\\\\\text{use}\ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\to x^2+2(x)(8)+8^2=(x+8)^2\\\\f(x)=(x+8)^2-64-46=(x+8)^2-110

To estimate a population mean, the sample size needed to provide a margin of error of 3 or less with a 95% confidence when the p
Over [174]

Answer:

The minimum sample needed to provide a margin of error of 3 or less is 52.

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean (<em>μ</em>) is:

\bar x\pm z_{\alpha /2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The margin of error is:

MOE= z_{\alpha /2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

<u>Given:</u>

MOE = 3

<em>σ </em>= 11

The critical value for 95% confidence interval is: z_{\alpha /2}=1.96

**Use the <em>z</em>-table for critical values.

Compute the sample size (<em>n</em>) as follows:

MOE= z_{\alpha /2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\3=1.96\times \frac{11}{\sqrt{n}}\\n=(\frac{1.96\times11}{3} )^{2}\\=51.65\\\approx52

Thus, the minimum sample needed to provide a margin of error of 3 or less is 52.
