Psychologist Michael Cunningham conducted a survey of university women to see whether, upon graduation, they would prefer to mar

ry a high school teacher who has short workdays, summers off, and spare energy to help raise children, or a surgeon who earns eight times as much but works brutal hours. He found that 75% of the university women said they would choose the teacher. [Source: Alex Williams, "Putting Money on the Table, " The New York Times, September 23, 2007.] Select the appropriate distribution in the Distributions tool to help answer the questions that follow. Nate is single and completing the last year of his surgical residency at Brown Medical School. He decides that it's time to get married and embarks on a mission to find his soul mate. His strategy is to select 25 female university graduates randomly and take each prospect on a date sometime during the next 2 months. Let X denote the number of Nate's dates who prefer surgeons.
A. The probability that exactly six of Nate's dates are women who prefer surgeons is ______.
B. The probability that at least 10 of Nate's dates are women who prefer surgeons is ______.
C. The expected value of X is __, and the standard deviation of X is _______.

Answer:

A.The probability that exactly six of Nate's dates are women who prefer surgeons is 0.183.

B. The probability that at least 10 of Nate's dates are women who prefer surgeons is 0.0713.

C. The expected value of X is 6.75, and the standard deviation of X is 2.17.

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropiate distribution to us in this model is the binomial distribution, as there is a sample size of n=25 "trials" with probability p=0.25 of success.

With these parameters, the probability that exactly k dates are women who prefer surgeons can be calculated as:

P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}\\\\\\P(x=k) = \dbinom{25}{k} 0.25^{k} 0.75^{25-k}\\\\\\

A. P(x=6)

P(x=6) = \dbinom{25}{6} p^{6}(1-p)^{19}=177100*0.00024*0.00423=0.183\\\\\\

B. P(x≥10)

P(x\geq10)=1-P(x

P(x=0) = \dbinom{25}{0} p^{0}(1-p)^{25}=1*1*0.0008=0.0008\\\\\\P(x=1) = \dbinom{25}{1} p^{1}(1-p)^{24}=25*0.25*0.001=0.0063\\\\\\P(x=2) = \dbinom{25}{2} p^{2}(1-p)^{23}=300*0.0625*0.0013=0.0251\\\\\\P(x=3) = \dbinom{25}{3} p^{3}(1-p)^{22}=2300*0.0156*0.0018=0.0641\\\\\\P(x=4) = \dbinom{25}{4} p^{4}(1-p)^{21}=12650*0.0039*0.0024=0.1175\\\\\\P(x=5) = \dbinom{25}{5} p^{5}(1-p)^{20}=53130*0.001*0.0032=0.1645\\\\\\P(x=6) = \dbinom{25}{6} p^{6}(1-p)^{19}=177100*0.0002*0.0042=0.1828\\\\\\

P(x=7) = \dbinom{25}{7} p^{7}(1-p)^{18}=480700*0.000061*0.005638=0.1654\\\\\\P(x=8) = \dbinom{25}{8} p^{8}(1-p)^{17}=1081575*0.000015*0.007517=0.1241\\\\\\P(x=9) = \dbinom{25}{9} p^{9}(1-p)^{16}=2042975*0.000004*0.010023=0.0781\\\\\\

P(x\geq10)=1-(0.0008+0.0063+0.0251+0.0641+0.1175+0.1645+0.1828+0.1654+0.1241+0.0781)\\\\P(x\geq10)=1-0.9287=0.0713

C. The expected value (mean) and standard deviation of this binomial distribution can be calculated as:

E(x)=\mu=n\cdot p=25\cdot 0.25=6.25\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{25\cdot 0.25\cdot 0.75}=\sqrt{4.69}\approx2.17

Given : Two inequality is given to us . The inequality is v + 8 ≤ -4 and v - 6 ≥ 10 .

To Find : To write those two inequality as a compound inequality with integers .

Solution: First inequality given to us is v + 8 ≤ -4 . So let's simplify it ;

⇒ v + 8 ≤ -4 .

⇒ v ≤ -4 - 8.

⇒ v ≤ -12 .

Now , on simplifying the second inequality ,

⇒ v - 6 ≥ 10 .

⇒ v ≥ 10 + 6.

⇒ v ≥ 16 .

Hence the required answer will be :

\Large{\boxed{\red{\bf \blue{\dag} v\leqslant -12 \:\:or\:\:v\geqslant 16}}}

First one implies that v is less than or equal to -12 whereas the second one implies that v is greater than or equal to 16 .

-1/2 + 4/9
stira [4]

Answer:

-1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to change both fractions to have like denominators. The LCM of 2 and 9 is 18.

Second, you have to multiply -1/2 by 9/9 to get a denominator of 18. -1/2 x 9/9 is - 9/18.

Third, you have to multiply 4/9 by 2/2 to get a denominator of 18. 4/9 x 2/2 = 8/18.

Fourth, -9/18 + 8/18 = -1/18

Hope this helps!
