Mr. and Mrs. Doran have a genetic history such that the probability that a child being born to them with a certain trait is 85%.

If they have four children, what is the probability that exactly one of their four children will have that trait? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Answer:

the probability that exactly one of their four children will have that trait is 0.287%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

The probability that a child born to them have a particular trait is

P = 85% = 0.85

The probability that a child born to them will not have a particular trait is

P' = 1 - P = 1-0.85 = 0.15

The probability that exactly one of four children have the trait is:

P(1) = P × P' × P' × P'

P(1) = 0.85 × 0.15 × 0.15 × 0.15

P(1) = 0.00286875

P(1) = 0.287 %

the probability that exactly one of their four children will have that trait is 0.287%

Renata and her family go through an average of more than 15 cans of sparkling water each day. They buy cases of 24 cans at $3.50

kaheart [24]

Answer: The inequality required to express the above condition is x ≥ 18.75

Step-by-step explanation:Renata and her family go through an average of more than 15 cans of sparkling water each day.

The number of cases of 24 cans of sparkling water.

We can take the number of cases to be x.

Each case is said to cost $3.50.

An inequality for the number of cases that Renata's family go through in 24 days can be written as

x ≥ ⇒ x ≥ ⇒ x ≥ 18.75

Therefore the inequality required to express the above condition is

x ≥ 18.75

Prove algebraically that r = 10/2+2sinTheta is a parabola

Xelga [282]

Answer:

$y = - \frac{ 1 }{10} {x}^{2} + \frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to prove algebraically that:

$r = \frac{10}{2 + 2 \sin \theta}$

is a parabola.

We use the relations

${r}^{2} = {x}^{2} + {y}^{2}$

and

$y = r \sin \theta$

Before we substitute, let us rewrite the equation to get:

$r(2 + 2 \sin \theta) = 10$

Or

$r(1+ \sin \theta) = 5$

Expand :

$r+ r\sin \theta= 5$

We now substitute to get:

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} } + y = 5$

This means that:

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} }=5 - y$

Square:

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} =(5 - y)^{2}$

Expand:

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} =25 - 10y + {y}^{2}$

${x}^{2} =25 - 10y$

${x}^{2} - 25 = - 10y$

$y = - \frac{ {x}^{2} }{10} + \frac{5}{2}$

This is a parabola (0,2.5) and turns upside down.

Jane has a pre-paid cell phone with Splint. She can't remember the exact costs, but her plan has a monthly fee and a charge for

yan [13]

Answer:

The costs of the plan are $0.15 per minute and a monthly fee of $39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of minutes used

y ----> is the total cost

step 1

Find the slope of the linear equation

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have the ordered pairs

(100,54) and (660, 138)

substitute

$m=\frac{138-54}{660-100}$

$m=\frac{84}{560}=\$0.15\ per\ minute$

step 2

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=0.15\\point\ (100,54)$

substitute

$y-54=0.15(x-100)$

step 3

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

$y-54=0.15x-15\\y=0.15x-15+54\\y=0.15x+39$

therefore

The costs of the plan are $0.15 per minute and a monthly fee of $39

Question 1 (10 points). (a) Explain the difference between linear and logistic regression. (Explain at least two differences and

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

(a) <em>Linear regression</em> is used to estimate dependent variable which is continuous by using a independent variable set. <em>Logistic regression</em> we predict the dependent variable which is categorical using a set of independent variables.

(b) Finding the relationship between the Number of doors in the house vs the number of openings. Suppose that the number of door is a dependent variable X and the number of openings is an independent variable Y.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Linear regression is used to estimate dependent variable which is continuous by using a independent variable set .whereas In the logistic regression we predict the dependent variable which is categorical using a set of independent variables. Linear regression is regression problem solving method while logistic regression is having use for solving the classification problem.

(b) Example: Finding the relationship between the Number of doors in the house vs the number of openings. Suppose that the number of door is a dependent variable X and the number of openings is an independent variable Y.

If I am to predict that increasing or reducing the X will have an effect on the input variable X or by how much we will make a regression to find the variance that define the relationship or strong relationship status between them. I will run the regression on any computing software and check the stats result to measure the relationship and plots.
