Answer:

a) 10.69% probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.

b) 27.13% probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.

c) 37.82% probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.

d) No, because P(X \leq 1) > 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult who regret getting tattoos, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they say that they were too young when then got their tattoos, or they do not say this. The probability of an adult saying hat they were too young when then got their tattoos is independent from other adults. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

22% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos.

This means that p = 0.22

Assume that nine adults who regret getting tattoos are randomly selected.

This means that n = 9

A) Find the probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.

This is P(X = 0).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{9,0}.(0.22)^{0}.(0.78)^{9} = 0.1069

10.69% probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.

B) Find the probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.

This is P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{9,1}.(0.22)^{1}.(0.78)^{8} = 0.2713

27.13% probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.

C) Find the probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1069 + 0.2713 = 0.3782

37.82% probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.

D) It we randomly select 9 adults. Is 1 a significantly low number who day that they were too young to get tattoos?

x is significantly low if

P(X \leq x) \leq 0.05

We have that

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1069 + 0.2713 = 0.3782

So 1 is not significantly low.

A square vegetable garden has side lengths of 8 feet. You plant flowers in the center portion of the garden, a square that has s
Studentka2010 [4]

Base on the total area of the square garden and the number of plants planted on it, the area of the zucchini section is 15 feet²

<h3>How to find area of zucchini section?</h3>

Side Length of the square garden = 8 feet

Area of the garden = side length ²

= 8 feet × 8 feet

= 64 feet²

Flower portion:

Side Length = 2 feet

Area of flower portion = side length ²

= 2 feet × 2 feet

= 4 feet²

Remaining space = Area of the garden - Area of flower portion

= 64 feet² - 4 feet²

= 60 feet²

Remaining space is divided into 4 equal sections

= 60 feet² / 4

= 15 feet²

Therefore,

Tomatoes section = 15 feet²

Onions section = 15 feet²

Zucchini section = 15 feet²

Pepper section = 15 feet²
