Answer:

1. 15.1%

2. 8.3%

3. 12%

4. 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100%

percent change = (21300 - 18500)/(18500) * 100%

percent change = 15.1%

A positive percent change is a percent increase.

Answer: The percent increase is 15.1%.

percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100%

percent change = (298000 - 325000)/(325000) * 100%

percent change = -8.3%

A negative percent change is a percent decrease.

Answer: The percent decrease is 8.3%.

percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100%

percent change = (110 - 125)/(125) * 100%

percent change = -12%

A negative percent change is a percent decrease.

Answer: The percent decrease is 12%.

percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100%

percent change = (1500 - 2000)/(2000) * 100%

percent change = -25%

A negative percent change is a percent decrease.

Answer: The percent decrease is 25%.

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are congruent, then the corresponding sides and the corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem, the corresponding sides are congruent, but the corresponding angles are not congruent

therefore

The square ABCD and the rhombus GHIJ are not congruent

According to Harper's Index, 55% of all federal inmates are serving time for drug dealing. A random sample of 16 federal inmates

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

a) $P(X\geq 11) = 0.198$

b) $P(X\leq 2) = 0.000565$

c) Mean = 8.8

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Binomial Distribution is a "discrete probability distribution which is used to calculate the probabilities for the independent trials and for each trial there is only two outcomes success or failure and probability for each success remains constant throughout each trial".

The Binomial distribution is a type of Bernoulli experiment with following properties:

a)There are two possible outcomes; success or failure.

b) Outcomes are independent on preceding result of a trial.

c) The probability of success remains constant throughout the experiment.

d)The number of successes are fixed.

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given by:

$P(X=a)=(nCa)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where $p$ is the probability of success, n the number of trials and x the number of successes that we want on the n trials.

$X$ represent the number federal inmates that are serving time for drug dealing

$p=0.55$ represent the proportion of federal inmates that are serving time for drug dealing

$n=16$ random sample selected

2) Part a

The random variable X follows this distribution $X \sim Binom(n,p)$

On this case we want the following probability, and since says greater or equal than 11 we can express like this:

$P(X \geq 11)=P(X=11)+P(x=12)+P(x=13)+P(x=14)+P(x=15)+P(x=16)$

$P(X=11)=(16C11)(0.55)^{11} (1-0.55)^{5} =0.112$

$P(X=12)=(16C12)(0.55)^{12} (1-0.55)^{4} =0.0572$

$P(X=13)=(16C13)(0.55)^{13} (1-0.55)^{3} =0.0215$

$P(X=14)=(16C14)(0.55)^{14} (1-0.55)^{2} =0.00563$

$P(X=15)=(16C15)(0.55)^{15} (1-0.55)^{1} =0.000918$

$P(X=16)=(16C16)(0.55)^{16} (1-0.55)^{0} =0.00007011$

$P(X \geq 11)=0.112+0.0572+0.0215+0.00563+0.000918+0.00007011=0.198$

3) Part b

$P(X \leq 2)=P(X=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)$

$P(X=0)=(16C0)(0.55)^{0} (1-0.55)^{16} =0.00000283$

$P(X=1)=(16C1)(0.55)^{1} (1-0.55)^{15} =0.0000552$

$P(X=2)=(16C2)(0.55)^{2} (1-0.55)^{14} =0.000507$

$P(X \leq 2)=0.00000283+0.0000552+0.000507=0.000565$

4) Part c

The expected value for the binomial distribution is given by the following formula:

$E(X)=np=16*0.55=8.8$

So then the average number of federal inmates that are serving time for drug dealing on a sample of 16 is approximately 9.
