On a very hot summer day, 5% of the production employees at Midland States Steel are absent from work. The production employees

are randomly selected for a special in-depth study on absenteeism. What is the probability of randomly selecting 10 production employees on a hot summer day and finding that none of them are absent

Answer:

59.87% probability of randomly selecting 10 production employees on a hot summer day and finding that none of them are absent

Step-by-step explanation:

For each employee, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are absent, or they are not. The probability of an employee being absent is independent from other employees. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

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 combinations 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.

5% of the production employees at Midland States Steel are absent from work.

This means that p = 0.05

What is the probability of randomly selecting 10 production employees on a hot summer day and finding that none of them are absent

This is P(X = 0) when n = 10. So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.05)^{0}.(0.95)^{10} = 0.5987

59.87% probability of randomly selecting 10 production employees on a hot summer day and finding that none of them are absent

Suppose you are a climatologist. You conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the global mean temperature in the current y
just olya [345]

Answer:

The term "El Nino" refers to the warming of the central and eastern tropical Pacific waters that occurs every 3 to 7 years and typically lasts from 9 to 12 months. The 1997-1998 El Nino, the strongest ever recorded, affected climate patterns worldwide. Its effect, combined with an increasing trend in annual global temperatures, made 1998 the warmest year in the 20th century. Suppose you are a climatologist. You conduct a hypothesis test to determine whether the global mean temperature in the current year is different from the global mean temperature in 1998. Assume that the global mean temperature in 1998 is 14.3 degrees Celsius. You obtain a preliminary sample of temperatures from recording stations worldwide, which yields a sample mean of x bar = 15.1 degrees Celsius. Let mu denote the global mean temperature in the current year. Formulate your null and alternative hypotheses by selecting the appropriate values in the blue drop-down menus that follow.

Radius of a circular ground is 21m. Find.
trapecia [35]

The circumference of a circle of radius r is

C=2\pi r

So, in your case, the circumference is

C=2\cdot \pi \cdot 21 = 42\pi

The circumference is actually the length of the "perimeter", so the answer to questions 1 and 2 looks the same actually

Answer:

  31.243 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationships between sides and angles in a right triangle. Using the attached figure, it is convenient to find the length of BE as an intermediate step in the solution.

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(30°) = BE/100

  BE = 100·sin(30°)

Then ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(58°) = BE/x

  x = BE/tan(58°) = 100·sin(30°)/tan(58°)

  x ≈ 31.243 . . . . units

_____

<em>Comment on the figure</em>

The intermediate problem in creating the figure was to locate point D. That was accomplished by locating point C on a line at an angle of 58° CCW from the horizontal, using point B as a center. Then D is the intersection of BC with the x-axis. BE is drawn perpendicular to the x-axis.

Milo cut his cake into 2 equal pieces. He ate 2pieces of cake for his birthday.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

1  or \frac{2}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>We know that Milo cut his cake into 2 different pieces, so:</u></h2>

\frac{x}{2}

<h2><u>He then eats two pieces of the cake. so:</u></h2>

2  pieces  of  cake  =  x

\frac{2}{2}   = 1
