The most common form of color blindness is an inability to distinguish red from green. However, this particular form of color bl

indness is much more common in men than in women (this is because the genes corresponding to the red and green receptors are located on the X-chromosome). Approximately 79% of American men and 0.4% of American women are red-green color-blind.1 Let CBM and CBW denote the events that a man or a woman is color-blind, respectively.(a) If an Americal male is selected at random, what is the probability that he is red-green color-blind? P(CBM) =(b) If an American female is selected at random, what is the probability that she is NOT red-green color-blind? P (not CBW) =(c) If one man and one woman are selected at random, what is the probability that neither are red-green color-blind? P=(neither is color-blind) =(d) If one man and one woman are selected at random, what is the probability that at least one of them is red-green color-blind? P=(at least one is color-blind)

Answer:

(a) The correct answer is P (CBM) = 0.79.

(b) The probability of selecting an American female who is not red-green color-blind is 0.996.

(c) The probability that neither are red-green color-blind is 0.9263.

(d) The probability that at least one of them is red-green color-blind is 0.0737.

Step-by-step explanation:

The variables CBM and CBW are denoted as the events that an American man or an American woman is colorblind, respectively.

It is provided that 79% of men and 0.4% of women are colorblind, i.e.

P (CBM) = 0.79

P (CBW) = 0.004

(a)

The probability of selecting an American male who is red-green color-blind is, 0.79.

Thus, the correct answer is P (CBM) = 0.79.

(b)

The probability of the complement of an event is the probability of that event not happening.

Then,

P(not CBW) = 1 - P(CBW)

                   = 1 - 0.004

                   = 0.996.

Thus, the probability of selecting an American female who is not red-green color-blind is 0.996.

(c)

The probability the woman is not colorblind is 0.996.

The probability that the man is  not color- blind is,

P(not CBM) = 1 - P(CBM)

                   = 1 - 0.004  

                   = 0.93.

The man and woman are selected independently.

Compute the probability that neither are red-green color-blind as follows:

P(\text{Neither is Colorblind}) = P(\text{not CBM}) \times  P(\text{not CBW})\\ = 0.93 \times  0.996 \\= 0.92628\\\approx 0.9263

Thus, the probability that neither are red-green color-blind is 0.9263.

(d)

It is provided that a one man and one woman are selected at random.

The event that “At least one is colorblind” is the complement of part (d) that “Neither is  Colorblind.”

Compute the probability that at least one of them is red-green color-blind as follows:

P (\text{At least one is Colorblind}) = 1 - P (\text{Neither is Colorblind})\\ = 1 - 0.9263 \\= 0.0737

Thus, the probability that at least one of them is red-green color-blind is 0.0737.

Mei Su had 80 coins. She gave most of them to her friends in such a way that each of her friends got at least one coin and no tw
Mama L [17]

Answer: 12 friends.

Step-by-step explanation:

the data we have is:

Mei Su had 80 coins.

She gave the coins to her friends, in such a way that every friend got a different number of coins, then we have that:

The maximum number of friends that could have coins is when:

friend 1 got 1 coin

friend 2 got 2 coins

friend 3 got 3 coins

friend N got N coins

in such a way that:

(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + N) ≥ 79

I use 79 because "she gave most of the coins", not all.

We want to find the maximum possible N.

Then let's calculate:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

15 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55

now we are close, lets add by one number:

55 + 11 = 66

66 + 12 = 78

now, we can not add more because we will have a number larger than 80.

Then we have N = 12

This means that the maximum number of friends is 12.

Jon has to pay $7.50 admission for the skating rink and $1.50 per hour to rent rollerblades. Write an equation for the cost (y)
Nata [24]

Answer:

y = 7.50 + 1.50x

Step-by-step explanation:

The admission costs $7.50 and after x hours Jon has to pay $1.50*x. Then the cost y in dollars is

y = 7.50 + 1.50x where x is the number of hours.
