Answer:

0.1324 = 13.24% probability that no less than 96 out of 145 people will not get the flu this winter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 145, p = 0.61

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 145*0.61 = 88.45

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{145*0.61*0.39} = 5.87

Consider the probability that no less than 96 out of 145 people will not get the flu this winter.

More than 95 people, which is the same as 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 95. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{95 - 88.45}{5.87}

Z = 1.115

Z = 1.115 has a pvalue of 0.8676

1 - 0.8676 = 0.1324

0.1324 = 13.24% probability that no less than 96 out of 145 people will not get the flu this winter.

Solve the following equations.<br> log6(x) = 1
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

log₆(x) = 1

Now,

From the properties of log

logₓ (z)= \frac{\log(z)}{\log(x)}  (where the base of the log is equal for both numerator and the denominator)

also,

log(xⁿ) = n × log(x)

thus,

using the above properties, we can deduce the results as:

logₓ(y) = n is equivalent to y = xⁿ

therefore,

the given equation can be deduced as:

log₆(x) = 1

into,

x = 6¹

or

x = 6
