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.

Find the value of the variable and the measure of each labeled angle
ololo11 [35]
Since the two angles that you have are vertical angles, we know that vertical angles are congruent, so you have to set them to equal each other.

x+24=5x-36
-4x+24=-36
-4x=-60
x=15

We now have the value of x so now we plug it in for each expression of each angle.

x+24=?
15+24=39

5x-36=?
5(15)-36=?
75-36=39

Please answer question 7 and 8 above
Reil [10]
7. if you have a fraction with the same denominator, to add them together you add the numerators and the keep the denominator the same. to subtract, you subtract the numerator and keep the denominator the same.

8. the whole number times the denominator and add the answer to the numerator. to subtract you so the same just subtract rather than add

The area of a rectangular field is 6840 m2. If the width of the field is 72m , what is its length?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

I believe that the answer is 95 meters.

Explanation:

Okay, so to solve this question, you must know the formula to solve for the area of a rectangle/square.

<em>Area of a rectangle/square - </em><em>l x w</em>

<em />

In this question, you can see the the width (72 m) and the area (6840 m²) is already given. What you can do in this situation is to use the opposite operator (division) to solve for the length of the rectangular field.

<em>6840 ÷ 72 = </em><em>95</em>

You can always double check to see if the number is correct.

<em>A = l x w</em>

<em>= 72 m x 95 m</em>

<em>= </em><em>6840 m</em>²

Really hope this helped. :)

Classify the following as a fraction, expression, equation, or inequality b - 7 &lt; 17
insens350 [35]

D. Inequality

An expression would just contain simple arithmetic without any symbols relating two things to another.

An equation must contain an equals sign.

A fraction will have a bar representing division.

An inequality contains a sign representing a comparison of magnitude, in this question less than <.

Hope this helps!!

En una fábrica, dos trabajadores llenan envases de gel
mojhsa [17]

Responder:

Contenedor 24

Explicación paso a paso:

Para obtener la cantidad de contenedores que deberán llenar para completar sus respectivos paquetes al mismo tiempo; obtener el mínimo común múltiplo de la agrupación adoptada por el primer y segundo trabajador;

Múltiplos de:

8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, ...

12:12, 24, 26, 48, 60, ....

Por lo tanto, el mínimo común múltiplo de 8 y 12 es 24.

Llenarán 24 contenedores
