Polydactyly is a fairly common congenital abnormality in which a baby is born with one or more extra fingers or toes. It is repo

rted in about one child in every 500 . A young obstetrician celebrates her first 100 deliveries. What is the probability that the obstetrician has delivered no child with polydactyly

Answer:

the probability that the obstetrician has delivered no child with polydactyly in her first 100 deliveries = 0.819

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial distribution problem

Probability of a polydactyl case, p = 1/500 = 0.002

Probability of no polydactyl case, q = 1 - 0.002 = 0.998

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

For this case,

x = 0

n = 100

P(X = 0) = ¹⁰⁰C₀ (0.02)⁰ (0.998)¹⁰⁰⁻⁰

P(X = 0) = ¹⁰⁰C₀ (0.02)⁰ (0.998)¹⁰⁰

P(X = 0) = 1 × 1 × 0.819 = 0.819

The baseball coach is 70 inches tall. How tall is the child?
tankabanditka [31]

The child is <u>59.4 inches tall</u>, assuming the length from the coach's shoulder to his head cap is approximately 10 inches.

<h3>What is Heigth?</h3>

Height refers to the vertical distance between the top and bottom of something.

Height measures the length of some objects or persons vertically to determine whether it is high or low, according to some ascertained criteria.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Baseball coach's height = 70 inches

Coach's shoulder to head = 10.6 inches

Height of the child standing slightly below the coach's shoulder = 59.4 inches (70 - 10.6)

Thus, the child standing slightly below the coach's shoulder is 59.4 inches tall.

<h3>Question Completion:</h3>

Assume that the height of the coach from his shoulder to the head is 10.6 inches.

I don't know to find the answer to 8. Can someone explain to me?
lapo4ka [179]
Perhaps the easiest way to find the midpoint between two given points is to average their coordinates: add them up and divide by 2.

A) The midpoint C' of AB is
.. (A +B)/2 = ((0, 0) +(m, n))/2 = ((0 +m)/2, (0 +n)/2) = (m/2, n/2) = C'
The midpoint B' is
.. (A +C)/2 = ((0, 0) +(p, 0))/2 = (p/2, 0) = B'
The midpoint A' is
.. (B +C)/2 = ((m, n) +(p, 0))/2 = ((m+p)/2, n/2) = A'

B) The slope of the line between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by
.. slope = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
Using the values for A and A', we have
.. slope = (n/2 -0)/((m+p)/2 -0) = n/(m+p)

C) We know the line goes through A = (0, 0), so we can write the point-slope form of the equation for AA' as
.. y -0 = (n/(m+p))*(x -0)
.. y = n*x/(m+p)

D) To show the point lies on the line, we can substitute its coordinates for x and y and see if we get something that looks true.
.. (x, y) = ((m+p)/3, n/3)
Putting these into our equation, we have
.. n/3 = n*((m+p)/3)/(m+p)
The expression on the right has factors of (m+p) that cancel*, so we end up with
.. n/3 = n/3 . . . . . . . true for any n

_____
* The only constraint is that (m+p) ≠ 0. Since m and p are both in the first quadrant, their sum must be non-zero and this constraint is satisfied.

The purpose of the exercise is to show that all three medians of a triangle intersect in a single point.
