If 10% of men are bald, what is the probability that fewer than 100 in a random sample of 818 men are bald? (Answers must be in
Greeley [361]

Answer: the probability that fewer than 100 in a random sample of 818 men are bald is 0.9830

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

p = 10% = 0.1

so let q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9

n = 818

μ = np = 818 × 0.1 = 81.8

α = √(npq) = √( 818 × 0.1 × 0.9 ) = √73.62 = 8.58

Now to find P( x < 100)

we say;

Z = (X-μ / α) = ((100-81.8) / 8.58) = 18.2 / 8.58 = 2.12

P(x<100) = P(z < 2.12)

from z-score table

P(z < 2.12) = 0.9830

Therefore the probability that fewer than 100 in a random sample of 818 men are bald is 0.9830

A bin contains 64 light bulbs of which 10 are defective. if 5 light bulbs are randomly selected from the bin with replacement, f
Sloan [31]
Total number of bulbs = 64
Number of defective bulbs = 10
Number of good bulbs = 64 - 10 = 54

P(5 good bulbs) = (54/64)⁵ = (27/32)⁵ = 0.428


Answer: 0.428

Ms. Walker's class set up an online fund with a goal to raise $1,280 to go on a field trip. Ms. Walker starts the fund by deposi
madreJ [45]
What you can use for this case is a function of the potential type.
 We have then
 y = a (b) ^ x
 Where we have:
 Walker starts the fund by depositing $ 5
 a = 5
 Each week the balance of the fund is twice the balance of the previous week:
 b = 2
 The function is:
 y = 5 (2) ^ x
 The number of weeks to reach $ 1280 is 8 weeks.
 Check:
 y = 5 (2) ^ 8
 y = 1280
 Answer:
 An equation can be used to find the number of weeks, x, after which the balance of the fund will reach $ 1,280 is:
 y = 5 (2) ^ x
 The number of weeks that it takes to reach the class goal is
 8 weeks

A stationary store has decided to accept a large shipment of ball-point pens if an inspection of 17 randomly selected pens yield
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

0.762 = 76.2% probability that this shipment is accepted

Step-by-step explanation:

For each pen, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a pen being defective is independent from other pens. 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.

17 randomly selected pens

This means that n = 17

(a) Find the probability that this shipment is accepted if 10% of the total shipment is defective. (Use 3 decimal places.)

This is P(X \leq 2) when p = 0.1. So

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

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

P(X = 0) = C_{17,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{17} = 0.167

P(X = 1) = C_{17,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{16} = 0.315

P(X = 2) = C_{17,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{15} = 0.280

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.167 + 0.315 + 0.280 = 0.762

0.762 = 76.2% probability that this shipment is accepted
