A study is being conducted in which the health of two independent groups of ten policyholders is being monitored over a one-year

period of time. Individual participants in the study drop out before the end of the study with probability 0.2 (independently of the other participants). Calculate the probability that at least nine participants complete the study in one of the two groups, but not in both groups?

Answer:

46.91% probability that at least nine participants complete the study in one of the two groups, but not in both groups

Step-by-step explanation:

We use two binomial trials to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of at least nine participants finishing the study in a group.

0.2 probability of a students dropping out. So 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 probability of a student finishing the study. This means that p = 0.8.

10 students, so n = 10

We have to find:

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

Then

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.8)^{9}.(0.2)^{1} = 0.2684

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.8)^{10}.(0.2)^{0} = 0.1074

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.2684 + 0.1074 = 0.3758

0.3758 probability that at least nine participants complete the study in a group.

Calculate the probability that at least nine participants complete the study in one of the two groups, but not in both groups?

0.3758 probability that at least nine participants complete the study in a group. This means that p = 0.3758

Two groups, so n = 2

We have to find P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{2,1}.(0.3758)^{1}.(0.6242)^{1} = 0.4691

46.91% probability that at least nine participants complete the study in one of the two groups, but not in both groups

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that X and Y are the number of people who the survey in first and second groups respectively.

The probability of at least 9 participants complete the survey in one of the two groups , but not in both is

[X ≥ 9, Y ≤ 8 or X ≤ 8, Y ≥ 9] = P ( X ≥ 9) P(Y ≤ 8) + P ( X ≤ 8) P(Y ≥ 9)

Since the distribution in the two groups are same, so

P(X ≤ 8) = P(Y ≤ 8) and P(X ≥ 9) = P(Y ≥ 9)

Thus,

P(X ≥ 9) P(Y ≤ 8) + P(X ≤ 8) P(Y ≥ 9) = P(X ≥ 9)P(Y ≤ 8) + P( X ≤ 8)P(X ≥9)

= 2 P(X ≥ 9)P(X ≤ 8)

P(X ≥ 9)P(Y ≤ 8) + P(X ≤ 8)P(Y ≥ 9) = 2 P(X ≥ 9)(1 - P(X ≥ 9)) -----(1)

Since,

P(X ≤ 8) = 1 - P(X ≥ 9)

Here,n = 10, P = 0.8 and X = 9 and 10

P(x ≥ 9) = P(a) + P(10)

= \left(\begin{array}{ccc}10\\9\end{array}\right)(0.8)^9(0.2)^1+\left(\begin{array}{ccc}10\\10\end{array}\right)(0.8)^1^0(0.2)^0\\\\=0.3758

Substitute P(X ≥ 9) = 0.3758 in eqn(1)

P( X ≥ 9 )P(Y ≤ 8) + P(X ≤ 8)P(Y ≥ 9) = 2 * 0.3758(1 - 0.3758)

= 0.7516(0.6242)

= 0.469

Therefore, the probability of at least 9 participants complete the study in one of the two groups but not in both the group is

(0.3758)(0.6242) + (0.6242)(0.3758)

= 0.469g

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

im pretty sure the answer would be,

2 \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

the median is the middle number of the data, and since there are two medians, you find the mean of the two numbers by adding them together, and then you divide it by 2.

PLEASE HELP IM FAILING MATH
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

$5,665

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you multiply 5,500 times 3 to get 16,500, and then divide by 100 to get 165. That is how much she earned over the past three years, but it is NOT her new account balance, because you have to add 5,500 and 165, which you would get a final sum of $5,665. I hope this helps :)

11-Determine the specific heat of a material if a 12-g sample absorbed 96 J as it was heated from 20°C to 40°C. *
kompoz [17]

Answer:

c=0.4\ J/g^{\circ} C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a sample, m = 12 g

Heat absobed by the sample, Q = 96 J

It was heated from 20°C to 40°C.

We need to find the specific heat of a material. The heat absorbed by a sample is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}\\\\c=\dfrac{96}{12\times (40-20)}\\\\=0.4\ J/g^{\circ} C

So, the specific heat of the material is 0.4\ J/g^{\circ} C.

kiruha [24]
The answer is a.) -27

subtract 11 from 38
27 keeps the negative sign because -38 is larger than 11
