Subtract 29,288 from 138,201
= 108,913
Divide by two to get the one person
=54,456

You have to use subtraction because it says how many

Could someone possibly explain to me how to find the probabilities for a binomial random variable? I think just explaining one c

Ghella [55]

Answer:

n is the fixed number of trials. x is the specified number of sucesses. N - X is the number of failures. P is the probablity of success on any given trail. 1 - P is the probabilty of failure on any given trial.

These probabilities hold for any value of X between 0 (lowest number of possible successes in n trials) and n (highest number of possible successes).

Hope this helps

8. Community Hospital, aa 120 bed facility reported that in March there were 545 discharges. Using the direct formula, what was

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Therefore, the bed turnover rate for March was 4.5416.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that community hospital a 120 bed facility reported that in March there were 545 discharges. We calculate what was the bed turnover rate for March.

The Direct Variation Formula is y=kx.

We know that y=545 discharges and x=120 bed.

Therefore, we get:

$y=k\cdot x\\\\545=k\cdot 120\\\\k=\frac{545}{120}\\\\k=4.5416$

Therefore, the bed turnover rate for March was 4.5416.

A page should have perimeter of 42 inches. The printing area within the page

Tamiku [17]

Overall dimensions of the page in order to maximize the printing area is page should be 11 inches wide and 10 inches long .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have , A page should have perimeter of 42 inches. The printing area within the page would be determined by top and bottom margins of 1 inch from each side, and the left and right margins of 1.5 inches from each side. let's assume width of the page be x inches and its length be y inches So,

Perimeter = 42 inches

⇒ $2(x+y) = 42\\x+y = 21\\y = 21-x$

width of printed area = x-3 & length of printed area = y-2:

area = $length(width)$

$area = (x-3)(y-2)\\area = (x-3)(21-x-2)\\area = (x-3)(19-x)\\area = -x^{2} + 22x -57$

Let's find $\frac{d(area)}{dx}$ :

$\frac{d(area)}{dx}$ = $\frac{d(-x^{2}+22x-57)}{dx} = -2x +22$ , for area to be maximum $\frac{d(area)}{dx}$ = 0

⇒ $-2x+22 = 0\\2x =22\\x=11 inches$

And ,

$y = 21-x\\y = 21-11\\y = 10 inches$

∴ Overall dimensions of the page in order to maximize the printing area is page should be 11 inches wide and 10 inches long .
