Answer: x = 52

Step-by-step explanation: Well percent means over 100 so we know that 25% means 25/100. Of means times, what number means x, is means equals, and 12 means 12. So we can translate this problem into an equation.

So we have the equation 25/100 · X = 13

Notice that 25/100 can be reduced to 1/4.

So rewriting our problem we have X/4 = 13.

To get rid of the fraction, we multiply both sides of the equation by 4 and we have x = 52.

This means that 25% of 52 is 13.

The mean of four consecutive even numbers is 15. The greatest of these numbers is a1. The least of these numbers is a2.

skad [1K]

X + (x + 2) + ( x + 4) + (x + 6)
-----------------------------------   = 15
   4

4x + 12
--------- = 15
    4

Multiply by 4 on both sides

4x + 12 = 60
subtract 12 from both sides
4x = 48
divide by 4 on each side
x = 12
x + 2 = 14
x + 4 = 16
x + 6 = 18

Thirty-three college freshmen were randomly selected for an on-campus survey at their university. The participants' mean GPA was

Ivan

Answer: $\pm0.1706$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n= 33

Critical value for significance level of $\alpha:0.05$ : $z_{\alpha/2}= 1.96$

Sample mean : $\overline{x}=2.5$

Standard deviation : $\sigma= 0.5$

We assume that this is a normal distribution.

Margin of error : $E=\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

i.e. $E=\pm (1.96)\dfrac{0.5}{\sqrt{33}}=\pm0.170596102837\approx\pm0.1706$

Hence, the margin of error is $\pm0.1706$

Past records indicate that the probability of online retail orders that turn out to be fraudulent is 0.08. Suppose that, on a gi

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The probability that there are 2 or more fraudulent online retail orders in the sample is 0.483.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this with a binomial random variable, with sample size n=20 and probability of success p=0.08.

The probability of k online retail orders that turn out to be fraudulent in the sample is:

$P(x=k)=\dbinom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}=\dbinom{20}{k}\cdot0.08^k\cdot0.92^{20-k}$

We have to calculate the probability that 2 or more online retail orders that turn out to be fraudulent. This can be calculated as:

$P(x\geq2)=1-[P(x=0)+P(x=1)]\\\\\\P(x=0)=\dbinom{20}{0}\cdot0.08^{0}\cdot0.92^{20}=1\cdot1\cdot0.189=0.189\\\\\\P(x=1)=\dbinom{20}{1}\cdot0.08^{1}\cdot0.92^{19}=20\cdot0.08\cdot0.205=0.328\\\\\\\\P(x\geq2)=1-[0.189+0.328]\\\\P(x\geq2)=1-0.517=0.483$

The probability that there are 2 or more fraudulent online retail orders in the sample is 0.483.
