Answer:

No, Wilson's question is not a statistical answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the shoe size of the tallest student in the class?

No, Wilson's question is not a statistical answer.

A statistical question is that question which can have different answers. Like - what is the height of girls in a class?

Here, Wilson's question will have only one answer as the show size is a simple number. Moreover he has asked about the tallest student and it can be one student with one shoe size.

If he would have asked what is the shoe size of five tallest kids then it would have been statistical.

Tell me whether an object’s surface area has increased or decreased if the size of the object is changed by a factor of 1/3???
ANTONII [103]
The surface area should decrease since the volume of the object is 33% of the original. This means that it will have less area on the surface.

aleksklad [387]

The probability that exactly 6 of 8 adult use their smartphones in meetings or classes is 0.147 or 14.7% .

The complete question is

Assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected, 54% use them in meetings or classes (based on data from an LG Smartphone survey). If 8 adult smartphone users are randomly selected, find the probability that exactly 6 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes.

<h3>What is Probability ?</h3>

Probability is the measure of likeliness of an event to happen.

The probability given is

p = 54% = 0.54

n =8

r = 6

The binomial Probability is given by

\rm P(x) = ^n C_r p^r q^{n-r}

The probability that exactly 6 people use smartphones in a class of 8 student is given by

P(x) = \dfrac{n!}{r! (n-r)!} p^r q^{n-r}

Here q represents the complement

q = 1 -p

q = 1-0.54 = 0.46

P(6) = \dfrac{8!}{6! (2)!} 0.54^6 0.46^{2}\\\\\P(6) = \dfrac{8 * 7}{ 2} 0.54^6 0.46^{2}\\\P(6) = 0.147

Therefore The probability that exactly 6 of 8 adult use their smartphones  in meetings or classes is 0.147 or 14.7% .

According to Bill Nye, How many people need to be in a room for there to be 50% chance of atleast 2 people having the same birth
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

the answer is actually 23 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill Nye's birthday paradox can be explained in the following manner:

first we must find the probability that in a room with 23 people, no two people have the same birthday

probability of no two people having the same birthday = 365/365 x 364/365 x 363/365 x 362/365 ... you keep multiplying until 343/365 = 0.492703

so the probability that in a room with 23 people, no two people have the same birthday = 49.2703%

the probability of two people having the same birthday = 1 - probability of no two people having the same birthday = 1 - 49.2703% = 50.7297%
