Answer:

The prevalence rate of flu cases requiring hospitalization thus far in 2018 is:

= 0.13%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Population of Portland, ME = 70,000

Number of flu cases requiring hospitalization on February 1st, 2018 = 43

Number of flu cases requiring hospitalization on July 4th, 2018 = 90

The prevalence rate of flu cases requiring hospitalization thus far in 2018 = 90/70,000 * 100 = 0.13%

b) The prevalence rate represents the proportion of the population of Portland, ME, who have the flu at the time that the Maine Public Health Department reported the number of flu cases requiring hospitalization on July 4th, 2018.

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

0.25% probability that they are both defective

Step-by-step explanation:

For each computer chip, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are defective, or they are not. The probability of a computer chip being defective is independent of other chips. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

5% of the computer chips it makes are defective.

This means that p = 0.05

If an inspector chooses two computer chips randomly (meaning they are independent from each other), what is the probability that they are both defective?

This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So

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

P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.05)^{2}.(0.95)^{0} = 0.0025

0.25% probability that they are both defective

14. Write the equation in slope-intercept form that passes through the two points.
nordsb [41]

Answer: y=5x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw a graph or use a graphing calculator the points and then connect them you will see that the y-intercept is 7 and the slope is 5/1. Slope intercpt  form is y=mx+b. So the equation is y=5x+7.

3x²-9x+1+0 Find the discriminant
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

\boxed{D = 69}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is:

3x^2-9x+1 = 0

Comparing it with the standard form of Quadratic Equation ax^2+bx+c = 0 , we get:

a = 3, b = -9 and c = 1

Discriminant = b² - 4ac

D = (-9)²-4(3)(1)

D = 81 - 12

D = 69
