Rocky Mountain National Park is a popular park for outdoor recreation activities in Colorado. According to U.S. National Park Se

rvice statistics, 46.7% of visitors to Rocky Mountain National Park in 2018 entered through the Beaver Meadows park entrance, 24.3% of visitors entered through the Fall River park entrance, 6.3% of visitors entered through the Grand Lake park entrance, and 22.7% of visitors had no recorded point of entry to the park.† Consider a random sample of 175 Rocky Mountain National Park visitors. Use the normal approximation of the binomial distribution to answer the following questions. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a) What is the probability that at least 85 visitors had a recorded entry through the Beaver Meadows park entrance?(b) What is the probability that at least 80 but less than 90 visitors had a recorded entry through the Beaver Meadows park entrance?(c) What is the probability that fewer than 12 visitors had a recorded entry through the Grand Lake park entrance?(d) What is the probability that more than 55 visitors have no recorded point of entry?

Answer:

a) 0.6628 = 66.28% probability that at least 85 visitors had a recorded entry through the Beaver Meadows park entrance

b) 0.5141 = 51.41% probability that at least 80 but less than 90 visitors had a recorded entry through the Beaver Meadows park entrance

c) 0.5596 = 55.96% probability that fewer than 12 visitors had a recorded entry through the Grand Lake park entrance.

d) 0.9978 = 99.78% probability that more than 55 visitors have no recorded point of entry

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the normal approximation to the binomial.

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:

175 visitors, so n = 175

a)

46.7% through the Beaver Meadows, so p = 0.467

\mu = E(X) = np = 175*0.467 = 81.725

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{175*0.467*0.533} = 6.6

This probability, using continuity correction, is P(X \geq 85 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 84.5), which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 84.5. So

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

Z = \frac{84.5 - 81.725}{6.6}

Z = 0.42

Z = 0.42 has a pvalue of 0.6628.

66.28% probability that at least 85 visitors had a recorded entry through the Beaver Meadows park entrance.

b)

This is P(80 - 0.5 \leq X < 90 - 0.5) = P(79.5 \leq X \leq 89.5), which is the pvalue of Z when X = 89.5 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 79.5. So

X = 89.5

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

Z = \frac{89.5 - 81.725}{6.6}

Z = 1.18

Z = 1.18 has a pvalue of 0.8810.

X = 79.5

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

Z = \frac{79.5 - 81.725}{6.6}

Z = -0.34

Z = -0.34 has a pvalue of 0.3669.

0.8810 - 0.3669 = 0.5141

0.5141 = 51.41% probability that at least 80 but less than 90 visitors had a recorded entry through the Beaver Meadows park entrance

c)

6.3% over the Grand Lake park entrance, so p = 0.063

\mu = E(X) = np = 175*0.063 = 11.025

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{175*0.063*0.937} = 3.2141

This probability is P(X < 12 - 0.5) = P(X < 11.5), which is the pvalue of Z when X = 11.5. So

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

Z = \frac{11.5 - 11.025}{3.2141}

Z = 0.15

Z = 0.15 has a pvalue of 0.5596.

55.96% probability that fewer than 12 visitors had a recorded entry through the Grand Lake park entrance.

d)

22.7% with no recorded point, so p = 0.227

\mu = E(X) = np = 175*0.227 = 39.725

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{175*0.227*0.773} = 5.54

This probability is P(X \leq 55 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 55.5), which is the pvalue of Z when X = 55.5. So

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

Z = \frac{55.5 - 39.725}{5.54}

Z = 2.85

Z = 2.85 has a pvalue of 0.9978

99.78% probability that more than 55 visitors have no recorded point of entry

Un pueblo tenía 13.578 habitantes en 1970. En 1988 la población se incrementó 1,5 veces con respecto a 1970 y en 2001 se increme
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

En 2001 el pueblo poseía 45.826 habitantes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Un pueblo tenía 13.578 habitantes en 1970. En 1988 la población se incrementó 1,5 veces con respecto a 1970. Para calcular entonces la población en 1988 debes realizar el siguiente cálculo:

13.578*1,5= 20.367

Por lo que en 1988 el pueblo poseía 20.367 habitantes.

En 2001 se incrementó la población 2,25 veces en relación a 1988. Para calcular entonces la población en 2001 debes realizar el siguiente cálculo:

20.367* 2,25= 45.825,75≅ 45.826

Por lo que <u><em>en 2001 el pueblo poseía 45.826 habitantes.</em></u>

A bucket is sold at a profit equal to one - fifth of its cost price find profit percentage ​
Tresset [83]

Answer:

20% profit margin!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose If the cost of a bucket is $100.

As the bucket is sold to 1/5 of the bucket cost.

i.e. 1/5 × 100 = $20

We know that 20% of 100 is 20.

i.e. 20/100 × 100 = 20

It mathematically means if the cost of the bucket was 100, and he sold at a profit equal to one - fifth of its cost price. It indicates that he earned a $20 profit. In other words, the person got a 20% profit percentage.

Note: I tried to take sample costs like $100 to make you understand as simple as I can.

Thus, if a  bucket is sold at a profit equal to one - fifth of its cost price, the profit margin will always 20%, because if there are 5 parts of an object, 1 part makes the 20%.

I hope you get my point.

The area of a rectangle is x 2 – 3x – 28. If the<br><br>length is x + 4, find the width.
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

-4 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

a = l × b

x2 - 3x - 28 = (x +4)(×)

x2 - 3x - 28 = x2 + 4x

-3x - 28 - 4x = 0

-7x - 28 = 0

-7x = 28

x = -4

There are 640 calories in 4 scoops of ice cream. At this rate, how many calories would there be in 9 scoops of ice cream?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

1,440 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 640 by 4 to get how many calories there are per scoop.

640 calories ÷ 4 scoops = 160 calories per scoop

Then, we can multiple 160 by 9 to get the calories in 9 scoops.

160 calories per scoop × 9 scoops = 1,440 calories per 9 scoops
