Genetic Defects Data indicate that a particular genetic defect occurs in of every children. The records of a medical clinic show

children with the defect in a total of examined. If the children were a random sample from the population of children represented by past records, what is the probability of observing a value of equal to or more?

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The probability that there exist 60 or more defected children is P(x \ge 60)=0.0901

Looking at the value for this probability we see that it is not so small to the point that the observation of this kind would be a rare occurrence

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

        in every 1000 children a particular genetic defect occurs to 1

        The number of sample selected is n= 50,000

The probability of observing the defect is mathematically evaluated as

              p = \frac{1}{1000}

                 = 0.001

The probability of not observing the defect is mathematically evaluated as

            q = 1-p

               = 1-0.001

               = 0.999

The mean of this probability is mathematically represented as

                 \mu = np

Substituting values

                \mu = 50000*0.001

                    = 50

The standard deviation of this probability is mathematically represented as

   \sigma = \sqrt{npq}

Substituting values

      = \sqrt{50000 * 0.001 * 0.999}

     = \sqrt{49.95}

     = 7.07

 the probability of detecting  x  \ge60 defects can be represented in as  normal distribution like

       P(x \ge 60)

in standardizing the normal distribution the normal area used to approximate P(x \ge 60) is the right of 59.5 instead of 60 because  x= 60 is part of the observation

The z -score is obtained mathematically as

                z = \frac{x-\mu }{\sigma }

                   = \frac{59.5 - 50 }{7.07}

                  =1.34

The area to the left of z = 1.35 on the standardized normal distribution curve is 0.9099 obtained from the z-table shown z value to the left of the standardized normal curve

Note: We are looking for the area to the right i.e 60 or more

  The total area under the curve is 1

So

    P(x \ge 60) \approx P(z > 1.34)

                     = 1-P(z \le 1.34)

                    =1-0.9099

                  =0.0901

Otto used 5.5 cups of whole wheat flour and x cups of white flour in the recipe. What is the equation that can
timurjin [86]

This situation of the recipe can be represented as y=x+5.5 and it is expected that x is ≥ 0 and y is ≥ 5.5.

<h3>What is the equation for this situation?</h3>

It is known the total amount of flour (y) is equivalent to the total amount of whole wheat flour (5.5) added to the total white flour (x). Therefore, the equation is:

y = x + 5.5

The possible values are

x = It is expected x is equalthan 0 or greater to it since the minimum amount of white flour that can be added is 0.

y = It is expected y is equal than 5.5 or greater to it since even if no

white flour is added the minimum total is 5.5.

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

U' = (0,2)

V' = (0,5)

W' = (-5,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get these, you can subtract 2 from the x-value because they are moving 2 units to the left and add 2 to the y-value because they are moving 2 units up.
