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.

The rabbit population of Springfield, Ohio was 144,000 in 2016. It is expected to decrease by about 7.2% per year. Use an expone
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The estimated Rabbit population by the year 2036 is 32,309 rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are expected to use the exponential decay function to estimate population of rabbits in a certain year.

An exponential decay function refers to an equation that estimates the value of a parameter(dependent parameter) at a certain value of the independent parameter given that the independent parameter decreases at a certain constant rate.

Firstly, what we need to do is to write the decay function. To do this, we shall be representing the population by variable P, the rate by r , the number of years by t and the initial population by I

Mathematically, we have the decay function as;

P = I(1-r)^t

From the question, we identify these values as;

P = 144,000 : r = 7.2% =  7.2/100 = 0.072, I = 144,00 and t = 2036-2016 = 20 years

Let's plug these values;

P = 144,000(1-0.072)^20

P = 144,000(0.928)^20

P=  32,309
