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

A turtle and a rabbit engage in a footrace over a distance of 4.00 km. The rabbit runs 0.500 km and then stops for a 90.0-min na
Oxana [17]

Answer:

(a) 2.29 km/h

(b) 9 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

For part (a) you have to apply<em> the average speed formula</em>, which is defined by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the total distance traveled and t is the total time needed.

d=\frac{4.00}{1.75}=2.29 km/h

For part (b) you have to calculate the running time (T) , which is the total time of the race minus the nap time:

The nap time in hours is:

90/60 = 1.5 h (because there are 60 minutes in one hour)

The running time is:

T= 1.75 - 1.5 = 0.25 h

Let t1 represent the time before the nap and t2 the time after the nap:

t1+t2 = T

t1+t2 = 0.25

You have to apply the formula d=vt before and after the nap:

-Before the nap, the distance traveled was 0.50 km

0.50 = v1t1

-Afer the nap, the distance traveled was 3.50 km

3.50=v2t2

But v2=2v1 (because after the nap the rabbit runs twice as fast)

You have to solve the system of equations:

t1=0.25-t2 (I)

v1t1=0.50 (II)

2v1t2=3.50 (III)

Replacing (I) in (II)

v1(0.25-t2)=0.50

Applying distributive property and solving:

0.25v1-v1t2=.050

For (III) you have that v1t2=3.50/2=1.75. Hence:

0.25v1-1.75=0.50

Solving for v1:

v1 = 9 km/h

I dont know how to do this pls help ​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

1) 225

2) 2304

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Use geometric mean of legs

x = \sqrt{(16+9)^2 * 9^2} = \sqrt{25^2 * 9^2}  = 25 * 9 = 225

2)

Use geometric mean of altitude

x = \sqrt{(100-36)^2 * 36^2} = \sqrt{64^2 * 36^2} = 64 * 36 = 2304

A)clara believes the sequence 3,9,27,81,243 is arithmetic. Do you agree with clara?Explain your reasoning.
allsm [11]
This is NOT an arithmetic sequence because there is no common difference.  It is a geometric sequence because there is a common ratio.  Meaning that each term is a constant ratio or multiple of the previous term.  The recursive rule for this geometric sequence is:

a(n)=3*a(n-1), a(1)=3
