We are given:

p = probability = 0.12<span>
n = total students = 39 </span>

x = left handers = 5<span>
u = mean = p* n = 4.68 
σ = standard dev = √ ( n*p*(1-p)) = √ ( 39 * 0.12 * 0.88 ) = 2.03</span>

 

Calculating for the z score:

z = (x – u) / σ<span>
z = (5 – 4.68) / 2.03</span>

<span>z = 0.1576 = 0.16

</span>

Using the standard tables for z, the p value is:

p value = 0.5636 = 56.36%

 

Hence there is a 56.36% chance.

Answer:

0.1856

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that prob that an individual is left-handed is 0.12.

n = sample size = no of students = 39

q = 1-p = 0.88

Let X be the no of students who are left handed.

X is binomial since each student is independent of the other and there are only two outcomes

X:Bin(39, 0.12)

Probability of finding five left-handers

=P(X=5)

= 39C5 (0.12)^5 (0.88)^34

=0.1856

Answer is 0.1856

Without solving determine the number of real solutions for each quadratic equation
seropon [69]

Answer:

b^2-4b+3=0

b²-3x-b+3=0

b(b-3)-1(b-3)=0

(b-3)(b-1)=0

either

b=3 or b=1

.

2n^2 + 7 = -4n + 5

2n²+4n+7-5=0

2n²+4n+2=0

2(n²+2n+1)=0

(n+1)²=0/2

:.n=-1

.

x - 3x^2 = 5+ 2x - x^2

0=5+ 2x - x^2-x +3x^2

0=5+x+2x²

2x²+x+5=0

comparing above equation with ax²+bx +c we get

a=2

b=1

c=5

x={-b±√(b²-4ac)}/2a ={-1±√(1²-4×2×5)}/2×1

={-1±√-39}/2

Please help!!!<br> Which expression is equivalent to (3m^-1n^2)^4/(2m^-2n)^3
Elza [17]
\text{Use:}\\\\(a\cdot b)^n=a^nb^n\\\\(a^n)^m=a^{n\cdot m}\\\\\dfrac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m}

\dfrac{(3m^{-1}n^2)^4}{(2m^{-2}n)^3}=\dfrac{3^4(m^{-1})^4(n^2)^4}{2^3(m^{-2})^3n^3}=\dfrac{81m^{-4}n^8}{8m^{-6}n^3}\\\\=10.125m^{-4-(-6)}n^{8-3}=10.125m^2n^5

The difference between the most hours of sleep and the least of these students was 2.5 hours. True or false?​
SashulF [63]

The correct anwer is False

Explanation

According to the graph, it can be seen that a student has four hours of sleep as the minimum number of hours of sleep; two students have six hours of sleep, four students have six and a half hours of sleep, four have seven hours of sleep, three have seven and a half hours of sleep, five have eight hours of sleep, and one has eight and a half hours of sleep as maximum hours of sleep. Therefore, it can be affirmed that the statement that the difference between the maximum amount and the minimum number of hours is two and a half hours is false because between four hours and eight and a half hours there are four and a half hours of difference. So, the correct answer is False.
