a vine called the mile-a-minute weed is known for growing at a very fast rate. it can grow up to 0.5 ft per day. how fast in inc

hes per hour can the mile-a-minute weed grow up to?

1 feet equals 12 inches
0.5 feet, therefore, is 6 inches.
but that is per day, so divide that by 24, which results in 1/4 inches per hour.

Among persons donating blood to a clinic, 85% have Rh+ blood (that is, the Rhesus factor is present in their blood.) Six people

Leona [35]

Answer:

a) There is a 62.29% probability that at least one of the five does not have the Rh factor.

b) There is a 22.36% probability that at most four of the six have Rh+ blood.

c) There need to be at least 8 people to have the probability of obtaining blood from at least six Rh+ donors over 0.95.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person donating blood, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have Rh+ blood, or they do not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

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 combinatios 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.

In this problem we have that:

$p = 0.85, n = 6$ .

a) fine the probability that at least one of the five does not have the Rh factor.

Either all six have the factor, or at least one of them do not. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So:

$P(X < 6) + P(X = 6) = 1$

$P(X < 6) = 1 - P(X = 6)$

In which:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.85)^{6}.(0.15)^{0} = 0.3771$

So

$P(X < 6) = 1 - P(X = 6) = 1 - 0.3771 = 0.6229$

There is a 62.29% probability that at least one of the five does not have the Rh factor.

b) find the probability that at most four of the six have Rh+ blood.

Either more than four have Rh+ blood, or at most four have. So

$P(X \leq 4) + P(X > 4) = 1$

$P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X > 4)$

In which

$P(X > 4) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

$P(X = 5) = C_{6,5}.(0.85)^{5}.(0.15)^{1} = 0.3993$

$P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.85)^{6}.(0.15)^{0} = 0.3771$

$P(X > 4) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.3993 + 0.3771 = 0.7764$

$P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X > 4) = 1 - 0.7764 = 0.2236$

There is a 22.36% probability that at most four of the six have Rh+ blood.

c) The clinic needs six Rh+ donors on a certain day. How many people must donate blood to have the probability of obtaining blood from at least six Rh+ donors over 0.95?

With 6 donors:

$P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.85)^{6}.(0.15)^{0} = 0.3771$

37.71% probability of obtaining blood from at least six Rh+ donors over 0.95.

With 7 donors:

$P(X = 6) = C_{7,6}.(0.85)^{6}.(0.15)^{1} = 0.3960$

0.3771 + 0.3960 = 0.7764 = 77.64% probability of obtaining blood from at least six Rh+ donors over 0.95.

With 8 donors

$P(X = 6) = C_{8,6}.(0.85)^{6}.(0.15)^{2} = 0.2376$

0.3771 + 0.3960 + 0.2376 = 1.01 = 101% probability of obtaining blood from at least six Rh+ donors over 0.95.

There need to be at least 8 people to have the probability of obtaining blood from at least six Rh+ donors over 0.95.

How are each term related to one another in the sequence 2,90,4,87,6,12,8,51,10 ?

Setler [38]

Every other number from the first, 3rd, 5th, ..etc it adds 2 for the next number.
For the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc term, its supposed to be 90, 78, 65, 51?
If so, It started with -12 then -13 after that -14 find the next term, all you need to do is to -15 to the current number, which is 51. then you get 36

The standard deviation<u> </u><u>INCREASES</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation is used to show how the points of the data deviate from the mean. The formulae for deriving standard deviation is attached. As seen from the formulae, the greater the variance of the data from the mean, the higher the Standard Deviation.

The mean of the given data points is $103.4. $450 is way off from this mean meaning that there is a large variance in this data point.
