A recent study reported that the prevalence of hyperlipidemia (defined as total cholesterol over 200) is 30% in children 2-6 yea

rs of age. If 12 children are analyzed.
Required:

b. What is the probability that exactly 3 are hyperlipidemic?
c. How many would be expected to meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia?

Answer:

(a) 0.7472

(b) 0.2397

(c) 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> denote the number of children who are hyperlipidemic.

The proportion of children who are hyperlipidemic is, <em>p</em> = 0.30.

A random sample of <em>n</em> = 12 children are analyzed.

Every child is independent of the others to be expected to meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 12 and <em>p</em> = 0.30.

(a)

Compute the probability that at least 3 are hyperlipidemic as follows:

P(X\geq 3)=1-P(X

Thus, the probability that at least 3 are hyperlipidemic is 0.7472.

(b)

Compute the probability that exactly 3 are hyperlipidemic as follows:

P(X=3)={12\choose 3}(0.30)^{3}(0.70)^{12-3}\\\\=220\times 0.027\times 0.040353607\\\\=0.23970042558\\\\\approx 0.2397

Thus, the probability that exactly 3 are hyperlipidemic is 0.2397.

(c)

Compute the expected number of children who would meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia as follows:

E(X)=np=12\times 0.30=3.6

Thus, 3.6 children would be expected to meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia.

What is the slope of a line with the cords (-3,2) (-1,-1)
xenn [34]

Answer:

X2 = 1.0792

Y2 = 2.0594

ΔX = 4.0792

ΔY = 3.0594

θ = 36.869897645844°

Equation of the line:

y = 0.75x + 1.25

When x=0, y = 1.25

When y=0, x = -1.6666666666667

OR

X2 = -7.0792

Y2 = -4.0594

ΔX = -4.0792

ΔY = -3.0594

θ = 216.86989764584°

Equation of the line:

y = 0.75x + 1.25

When x=0, y = 1.25

When y=0, x = -1.6666666666667

Write and solve a proportion to find the height of the building.
slavikrds [6]

Write and solve an equation of ratios:


9 ft          22 ft

------- = -----------

h               99 ft


This is appropriate because h is greater than 9 ft.


cross-multiplying, we get 

9(99) ft^2 = 22*h*ft


Then h =40.5 ft (which is the height of the building)

How do I calculate this?<br><br> 6( 2x + 3 ) = 2 ( 5x - 3 )
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

x= -33/2 or x=-16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the bracket

6(2x+3) = 2(5x-3)

12x+18=10x-15

Bring like terms together

12x-10x=-15-18

2x=-33

x=-33/2
