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

Cara is a high school student. On average, there are 26 students per class at her school, with a standard deviation of 3 student
aliina [53]

Answer:

B. 97%

Step-by-step explanation:

20 students is -2 standard deviations away from the mean

35 is +3 standard deviations away from the mean

100 - 2.4 = 97.6

(2.4 is amount of data we are not using)

please refer to the standard deviation graph attached :)

Solve for q. -5(3-q) +4=5q-11
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Perform the indicated multiplication first:  -15 + 5q + 4 = 5q - 11

Note that 5q appears on both sides of this equation.  Cancelling, we get :

-11 = -11.  This is always true.  Thus, -5(3-q) +4=5q-11 is true for all q.

Which sets does square 7 belong to.​
horsena [70]

Answer:Number Sets. There are sets of numbers that are used so often they have special names and symbols: ... The numbers you can make by dividing one integer by another (but not dividing by zero). In other words ... If you square a real number you always get a positive, or zero, result. ... x + 7 = 0, x = −7, Integers, set integer.

Please help i have 2 questions thank you very much.
Rudik [331]
Hello!

Question 1
We first have to convert everything to yards since the concrete is charged by the cubic yards

15 feet = 5 yards
15 feet = 5 yards
3 inches = 0.08333

Multiply these to find the volume

5 * 5 * 0.08333 = 2.08325

Multiply this by the cost

2.08325 * 46 = 95.83

The answer is C) $95.83
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 2

You have to find the volume of the first pyramid

The equation we use is V = \frac{lwh}{3}

V is volume
l is length
w is width
h is height

Put in the values we know

V =  \frac{16 * 16 * 28}{3}

Multiply

V =  \frac{7168}{3}

Divide

V = 2389.3333

Now we use this to find the side length of the second pyramid

2389.333 =  \frac{lw * 112}{3}

Multiply both sides by 3

<span>7167.999 = lw * 112
</span>
Divide both sides by 112

63.9999 = lw

Since it is a square pyramid we know that sides are equal

63.999 = l^2

Take the square root of both sides

8 = l

The answer is B) 8in

Hope this helps!
