Find the unit rate in feet per second 300yards : 1 minute.

1 answer:

7 0

We are asked to convert the unit of yards per minute to feet per second. There are 3 yards in one foot and there are 60 seconds in one minute. In this case, the conversion is 300 yards / minute * (1 foot/ 3 yards)*(1 minute/60 seconds) equal to 5/3 or 1.6667 feet per second

if a scientist gets unexpected results during the first trail of an experiment what should he or she do next

Tasya [4]

If they get unexpected results they could note what they could've done wrong or what they could change in a next trail of experiments. Or look back and see what different happened to they could've hypothesized. There could be many different courses on what to do next.

In a particular faculty 60% of students are men and 40% are women. In a random sample of 50 students what is the probability tha

zimovet [89]

Answer:

a) The expected value is given by:

$E(X) = np = 50*0.4 = 20$

and the variance is given by:

$Var(X) =np(1-p) = 50*0.4*(1-0.4) = 12$

b) $P(X>25)= 1-P(X\leq 25)$

And we can find this probability with the following Excel code:

=1-BINOM.DIST(25,50,0.4,TRUE)

And we got:

$P(X>25)= 1-P(X\leq 25)=0.0573$

c) 1) Random sample (assumed)

2) np= 50*0.4= 20 >10

n(1-p) =50*0.6= 30>10

3) Independence (assumed)

Since the 3 conditions are satisfied we can use the normal approximation:

$X \sim N(\mu = 20 , \sigma= 3.464)$

d) $P(X>25) = 1-P(Z< \frac{25-20}{3.464}) = 1-P(z$

e) $P(X>25)= P(X>25.5) = 1-P(X \leq 25.5)$

$P(X>25)= P(X>25.5) = 1-P(X \leq 25.5)= 1-P(Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=50, p=0.4)$

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

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

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

Part a

The expected value is given by:

$E(X) = np = 50*0.4 = 20$

and the variance is given by:

$Var(X) =np(1-p) = 50*0.4*(1-0.4) = 12$

Part b

For this case we want to find this probability:

$P(X>25)= 1-P(X\leq 25)$

And we can find this probability with the following Excel code:

=1-BINOM.DIST(25,50,0.4,TRUE)

And we got:

$P(X>25)= 1-P(X\leq 25)=0.0573$

Part c

1) Random sample (assumed)

2) np= 50*0.4= 20 >10

n(1-p) =50*0.6= 30>10

3) Independence (assumed)

Since the 3 conditions are satisfied we can use the normal approximation:

$X \sim N(\mu = 20 , \sigma= 3.464)$

Part d

We want this probability:

$P(X>25) = 1-P(Z< \frac{25-20}{3.464}) = 1-P(z$

Part e

For this case we use the continuity correction and we have this:

$P(X>25)= P(X>25.5) = 1-P(X \leq 25.5)$

$P(X>25)= P(X>25.5) = 1-P(X \leq 25.5)= 1-P(Z$

The answer is 5:6:20 but can someone explain how plz?

Leya [2.2K]

The ratio of red to green is 5:6 which means that for every 5 red cars, there are 6 green cars

The ratio of green to blue is 3:10 telling us that for every 3 green cars, there are 10 blue cars.

The ratio 3:10 is equivalent to 6:20 after we multiply both parts by 2. This now says that for every 6 green cars, there are 20 blue cars.

------------------------------

Let's say we had 5 red cars, 6 green cars and 20 blue cars
Based on that info, we know that the ratio of red to green is 5:6
And the ratio of green to blue is 6:20 which reduces to 3:10

We don't reduce 6:20 to 3:10 however, since that would change the green count from 6 to 3. We want to keep the green count at 6.

So because there are 5 red cars, 6 green cars, and 20 blue cars in this example, and this example points to the proper ratios mentioned earlier, this means that the final answer is 5:6:20. This ratio cannot be reduced or simplified as there are no common factors (other than 1) for 5, 6, and 20.
