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:
a. What is the probability that at least 3 are hyperlipidemic?
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 best prediction of the amount of money earned when the lemonade stand has been open for 9 hours
abruzzese [7]

Answer:  $50

Step-by-step explanation:  Draw a line through the apparent center of the scattered dots. See where that line intersects 9 in the time scale (x-axis numbers) and the dollars earned scale (y-axis numbers)

It could be 50 or 55, but since there are a few more dots below the apparent midline, it may be best to use the lower estimate.

Sasha buys two ribbons of equal length. She cuts 9 pieces of the same length, L, from the first ribbon and finds that 5 inches a
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

50 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the each ribbon was x.

Now, she cuts 9 pieces of same length L which means total length is 9L.

Now, doing the same she was left with 5 inches of ribbon. Hence, we have

[tex[9L+5=x.....(1)[/tex]

Similarly, we can write a equation for the second situation.

2L+40=x......(2)

From equation 1 and 2,

9L+5=2L+40\\\\7L=35\\\\L=5

Plugging this value in equation 1,

9(5)+5=x\\\\x=45+5\\x=50

Therefore, the length of each ribbon when she bought them was 50 inches.
