Do the ratios 3 8 and 4 7 form a proportion?

1 answer:

4 0

The ratios 3:8 and 4:7 are not proportion. You can tell this easily by how in the second ratio, the first number is one larger, but the second number is 1 lower. If this was proportional, then both numbers would go either up or down depending on the circumstance.

If 90 percent of automobiles in Orange County have both headlights working, what is the probability that in a sample of eight au

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)$

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

$P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826$

$P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131$

Step-by-step explanation:

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".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest "number of automobiles with both headligths working", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.9)$
