Answer:

a) P(X \leq 3) = 0.99328

b) 0.6957

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the number of 4's when  n = 5 independent spins

each has a probability of 0.2 (i.e p = 0.2)

This notation is represented as:

X \approx Binomial (n = 5, p = 0.2)

Probability of  x  number of 4's is:

P(X=x)= (\left \ n \atop x \right) p^x (1-p)^{(n-x)}

here; (\left \ n \atop x \right) is the combinatorial expression

(\left \ n \atop x \right) = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

P(X \leq3), n =5 , p = 0.2

P(X \leq3) = 1-P(X > 3)

So; let's first find:

P(X > 3)

= P(3

P(X = 4) =( \left \ {{5} \atop {4}} \right. ) (0.2)^4 (1-0.2)^1  \\ \\ P(X = 4) = 5(0.2)^4(0.8)^1 \\ \\ P(X = 4) = 0.0064

P(X = 5) =( \left \ {{5} \atop {5}} \right. ) (0.2)^5 (1-0.2)^0  \\ \\ P(X = 5) = 5(0.2)^5(0.8)^0 \\ \\ P(X = 5) = 0.00032

P (X=4)+P(X  = 5 ) \\ \\  = 0.0064 + 0.00032 = 0.006720  \\ \\ \approx 0.007

P(X > 3 ) = 0.00672 \\ \\ P(X \leq 3) = 1- P(X > = 3 ) \\ \\ =1 - 0.00672  \\ \\ = 0.99328

P(X \leq 3) = 0.99328

b)

Given that:

The ratio of boys to girls at birth in  Singapore is quite high at 1.09:1

What proportion of Singapore families with exactly 6 children will have at least 3 boys?

Probability of having a boy = \frac{1.09}{1+1.09} = 0.5215

Binomial Problem with n = 6

P(3<= x <=6) = 1 - P(0<= x <=2)

= 1 - binomial (6,0.5215,2)

= 0.6957

A shade of green paint is made by mixing blue paint and yellow paint in the ratio of 4 to 3. How many pints of blue paint and ye
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Blue = 12

Yellow = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Blue : Yellow = 4 : 3

Required

Determine the number of pints of each to make 21 of green paints

First, calculate the total ratio.

Total = 4 + 3

Total = 7

The blue and the yellow pint can be represented individually as:

Blue = \frac{4}{7} * Green

Yellow = \frac{3}{7} * Green

Number of blue paint calculated last week is:

Blue = \frac{4}{7} * 21

Blue = {4} * 3

Blue = 12

Yellow = \frac{3}{7} * Green

Yellow = \frac{3}{7} * 21

Yellow = {3} * 3

Yellow = 9
