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.

John bought three thermos flask at a total of st 1080 he later sold at 400 each what was his percentage ​
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \boxed{ \sf {11.11\%}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost price of three thermos flask = 1080

Selling price of each thermos flask = 400

<u>Finding </u><u>the </u><u>selling </u><u>price </u><u>of </u><u>three </u><u>thermos </u><u>flask</u>

Since, the cost of 3 thermos flask is more than that of 1 thermos flask. So, the cost of 1 thermos flask is multiplied by 3 ( i.e 400 × 3 = 1200 )

Here, the selling price is greater than cost price.

So, there is profit.

And we know that,

\sf{profit = sp \:  -  \: cp}

⇒\sf{1200 - 1080}

⇒\sf{120}

Profit amount = 120

<u>Finding </u><u>the </u><u>profit </u><u>percentage</u>

\sf{profit\% \:  =  \frac{profit}{cp}  \times 100 \%}

⇒\sf{ \frac{120}{1080 } \times 100\%}

⇒\sf{11.11\%}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!
