The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act mandates the tracking and disposal of hazardous waste produced at U.S. facilities. Pr

ofessional Geographer (Feb. 2000) reported the hazardous waste generation and disposal characteristics of 209 facilities. Only eight of these facilities treated hazardous waste on-site.
Required:
a. In a random sample of 10 of the 209 facilities, what is the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site? Interpret this result.
b. Find the probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.

Answer:

(a) E(X) =  0.383

The expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is 0.383.

(b) P(x = 4) = 0.000169

There is a 0.000169 probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.

Step-by-step explanation:

Professional Geographer (Feb. 2000) reported the hazardous waste generation and disposal characteristics of 209 facilities.

N = 209

Only eight of these facilities treated hazardous waste on-site.

r = 8

a. In a random sample of 10 of the 209 facilities, what is the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site?

n = 10

The expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is given by

$ E(X) =  \frac{n \times r}{N} $

$ E(X) =  \frac{10 \times 8}{209} $

$ E(X) =  \frac{80}{209} $

E(X) =  0.383

Therefore, the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is 0.383.

b. Find the probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site

The probability is given by

$ P(x = 4) =  \frac{\binom{r}{x} \binom{N - r}{n - x}}{\binom{N}{n}} $

For the given case, we have

N = 209

n = 10

r = 8

x = 4

$ P(x = 4) =  \frac{\binom{8}{4} \binom{209 - 8}{10 - 4}}{\binom{209}{10}} $

$ P(x = 4) =  \frac{\binom{8}{4} \binom{201}{6}}{\binom{209}{10}} $

$ P(x = 4) =  \frac{70 \times 84944276340}{35216131179263320}

P(x = 4) = 0.000169

Therefore, there is a 0.000169 probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

You need to cross multiply 37/45+x/100 which equals 17%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first part represents the 37 dollars out of the original 45 and the second part represents x= the unknown percent out of 100 percent. This would be 17%
