A city has 4 new houses for every 7 old houses. If there are 32 new houses in the city, how many old houses are there?

3 0

So the ration is 4:7

The total of houses is 32 new houses. What I did was I divided 32 by 4:

32/4 = 8

That means that the ratio (4:7) would be multiplied by 8 (only the :7 part):

7 * 8 = 56

There are 56 old houses (the ratio is now 32:56)

Thank you and can you please give me brainly :3

Answer:

0.9319 = 93.19% probability that at least 88 out of 153 registered voters will vote in the presidential election.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
