OMG PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!!!!!! A local charity sponsors a 5K race to raise money. It receives $55 per race entry and $10,000 in

Dominik [7]

Start with how much profit they are making off each race entry. People pay $55 to race, but $15 of that is expenses so they are only profiting $40 for each entry. Now write one side of the equality. They start with $10,000 in donations, and then have a $40 profit for each race entry. So 10,000+40x. X will represent the unknown number of race entries. What do we want that expression to be equal to? We want 10000+40x>55000. It can also be greater than or equal to, not just greater than. Solve for x. Subtract 10000 from each side resulting in 40x>45000. Divide each side by 40 to solve for x. X>1125. X needs to bbe greater than or equal to 1125. If there are 1125 race entries, the charity will profit exactly $55000, so the lowest number of race entries is 1125

The mailing list of an agency that markets scuba-diving trips to the Florida Keys contains 78% males and 22% females. The agency

choli [55]

Answer:

a) 0.98% probability that 17 of the 29 people are men.

b) 3.86% probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person chosen by the agency, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a man, or it is a woman. The probability of selecting a man or a women in each trial is independent from other trials. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

(a) What is the probability that 17 of the 29 people are men?

This is P(X = 17) when $n = 29, p = 0.78$ . So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 17) = C_{29,17}.(0.78)^{17}.(0.22)^{12} = 0.0098$

0.98% probability that 17 of the 29 people are men.

(b) What is the probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call?

On the first 7 trials, all men, each with a 78% probability.

On the 8th trial, a women, with a 22% probability. So

$P = (0.78)^{7}*0.22 = 0.0386$

3.86% probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call

On average, 75% of the days in Henderson county are sunny, with little or no cloud cover. Describe a model that you could use to

user100 [1]

One possible model is:

You could place 3 red marble and 1 blue marble in a bag. The probability of drawing a red marble would be 3/4, which is 75%; this means red marbles would be sunny days and blue marbles would be cloudy days.

Each draw out of the bag would represent one day of the week. Draw a marble 7 times, replacing it after each draw. This would represent the weather for the days of the week.
