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 line contains the points (-5, 3) and (0, -7). What is the equation of this line in slope-intercept form?
pychu [463]

Answer:

D. y = –2x – 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the <em>rate</em><em> </em><em>of change</em><em> </em>[<em>slope</em>]:

-y₁ + y₂\-x₁ + x₂ = m

- \frac{3 - 7}{5 + 0} = -\frac{10}{5} = -2

In this case, the y-intercept of [0, -7] is ALREADY given to you, so we would not have to go further in this case.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

What is -3x+13=16 help me with each step.
hoa [83]

-3x+13=16

Move +13 to the other side. Sign changes from +13 to -13.

-3x+13-13=16-13

-3x=16-13

-3x=3

Divide by -3 for both sides.

-3/-3x=3/-3

Cross out -3 and -3, divide by -3, then becomes 1*1*x=x

x=-1

Answer: x=-1

prohojiy [21]
The answer is B

sin=Opposite/Hypotenuse

sin=28/100

Divide numerator and denominator by 4

sin=7/25


Cosine=adjacent/hypotenuse

cos=96/100

Divide numerator and denominator by 4

cos=24/25


Tangent=opposite/adjacent

tan=28/96

Divide numerator and denominator by 4

tan=7/24
