In a certain college, 33% of the physics majors belong to ethnic minorities. Of 8 students are selected at random from the physi

cs majors, what is the probability that more than 5 belong to an ethnic minority?

Answer: 0.0187

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial distribution formula for probability :-

$P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ , where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials , n is the total number of trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

Given : The probability that the physics majors belong to ethnic minorities =0.33

Number of students selected : n= 8

Now, the probability that more than 5 belong to an ethnic minority :-

$P(x>5)=P(6)+P(7)+P(8)\\\\=^8C_6(0.33)^6(0.67)^{2}+^8C_7(0.33)^7(0.67)^{1}+^8C_8(0.33)^8(0.67)^{0}\\\\=(\dfrac{8!}{6!2!})(0.33)^6(0.67)^{2}+(8)(0.33)^7(0.67)^{1}+(0.33)^8(0.67)^{0}\\\\=0.0186577086013\approx0.0187$

Hence, the probability that more than 5 belong to an ethnic minority = 0.0187

Question # 17 Solution

Answer:

$x_{1}= \frac{mx_{2}-y_{2}+y_{1}}{m}$

Step-by-step Explanation:

The given expression

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

And we have to solve for x₁

So,

Lets solve for x₁.

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Multiply both sides by x₂ - x₁

$m(x_{2}-x_{1})= (x_{2}-x_{1})\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$m(x_{2}-x_{1})= (y_{2}-y_{1})$

$mx_{2}-mx_{1}= (y_{2}-y_{1})$

$-mx_{1}= y_{2}-y_{1}-mx_{2}$

Divide both sides by -m

$\frac{-mx_{1}}{-m}= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}-mx_{2}}{-m}$

$x_{1}= \frac{mx_{2}-y_{2}+y_{1}}{m}$

Therefore, $x_{1}= \frac{mx_{2}-y_{2}+y_{1}}{m}$

Question # 23 Solution

Answer:

$n= \frac{bx}{-b + x}$

Step-by-step Explanation:

The given expression

$\frac{nx}{b}-x=x$

And we have to solve for n

So,

Let's solve for n.

$\frac{nx}{b}-x=x$

Multiply both sides by b.

$-bn + nx = bx$

Factor out n.

$n(-b + x)= bx$

Divide both sides by -b + x.

$\frac{n(-b + x)}{-b + x}= \frac{bx}{-b + x}$

$n= \frac{bx}{-b + x}$

Therefore, $n= \frac{bx}{-b + x}$

A breakfast cereal producer makes its most popular product by combining just raisins and flakes in each box of cereal. The amoun

yarga [219]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that there is a 0.9192 = 91.92% probability that the total amount of product is less than 575 g.

In a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.

After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

When two normal variables are added, the mean is the sum of the means while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

In this problem, the product is composed by flakes and raisins, and we have that:

$\mu_F = 370, \sigma_F = 24, \mu_R = 170, \sigma_R = 7$

Hence, the distribution for the total amount of product has <u>mean and standard deviation</u> given by:

$\mu = \mu_F + \mu_R = 370 + 170 = 540$

$\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma_F^2 + \sigma_R^2} = \sqrt{24^2 + 7^2} = 25$

The probability that the total amount of product is less than 575 g is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 575</u>, hence:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{575 - 540}{25}$

$Z = 1.4$

$Z = 1.4$ has a p-value of 0.9192.

0.9192 = 91.92% probability that the total amount of product is less than 575 g.
