In a recent survey of 25 voters, 17 favor a new city regulation and 8 oppose it. What is the probability that in a random sample

Rasek [7]

Answer:

$P(X=2)=(6C2)(0.68)^2 (1-0.68)^{6-2}=0.0727$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

2) Solution to the problem

The probability in favor of the regulation based on the recent survey is:

$p = \frac{17}{25}=0.68$

Let X the random variable of interest "Number of favor respondents about the regulation", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=6, p=0.68)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

And we want to find this probability:

$P(X=2)=(6C2)(0.68)^2 (1-0.68)^{6-2}=0.0727$

If we use X= "Number of respondednts opposed to the regulation we got the same answer", but on this case p = 1-0.68=0.32, and we want this probability:

$P(X=4)=(6C4)(0.32)^4 (1-0.32)^{6-4}=0.0727$

Human body temperatures have a mean of 98.20° F and a standard deviation of 0.62° F. Sally's temperature can be described by z =

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Sally's temperature is 97.27 °F.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the information given in the question tells us that the human body temperatures are normally distributed with a population's mean = 98.20°F and a standard deviation = 0.62°F.

The question gives us Sally's temperature in a z-score. We have to remember that the standard normal distribution is a particular case of a normal distribution where the mean = 0 and the standard deviation = 1.

Using the standard normal distribution, we can determine every probability associated with a normal distribution "transforming" the raw scores, coming from normally distributed data, into z-scores.

A z-score gives us the distance from the population's mean and is in standard deviation units. So, a z = 1.5 tells us that the value is 1.5 standard deviations above the mean. Conversely, a z = -1.5 tells us that the raw score is also 1.5 standard deviation from the mean, but in the opposite direction, that is, below the mean.

The formula for a z-score is as follows:

$\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ (1)

Where

$\\ x\;is\;the\;raw\;score$ .

$\\ \mu\;is\;the\;population\;mean$ .

$\\ \sigma\;is\;the\;population\;standard\;deviation$ .

Then to find x (or the raw score, that is, Sally's temperature), we need to solve the formula (1) for it to finally solve the question.

Then

$\\ \mu = 98.20^\circF$ °F

$\\ \sigma = 0.62^\circF$ °F

$\\ z = -1.5$

Thus (with no units)

$\\ -1.5 = \frac{x - 98.20}{0.62}$

$\\ (-1.5*0.62) = x - 98.20$

$\\ (-1.5*0.62) + 98.20 = x$

$\\ x = (-1.5*0.62) + 98.20$

$\\ -0.93 + 98.20$

$\\ x = 97.27$ °F

Thus, Sally's temperature is $\\ x = 97.27$ °F (rounding the answer to the nearest hundredth).

Answer:

Should be the second and third ones. If you multiply the values together, 3/4s will equal 3/16 and 3/32 with the other value.

Which is equal to the product of HJ?

jok3333 [9.3K]

H = 1st row 4 -2 5
2nd row 6 1 -3

J = 1st column 7 3 8

1st row and 1st column: 4*7 + -2*3 + 5*8 = 28 - 6 + 40 = 62
2nd row and 1st column: 6*7 + 1*3 + -3*8 = 42 + 3 - 24 = 21

Answer is 2nd option. 62 and 21.
