Assume that when blood donors are randomly selected, 45% of them have blood that is Group O (based on data from the Greater New

York Blood Program).
1. If the number of blood donors is n = 16 equation, find the probability that the number with Group O blood is equation x = 6.
2. If the number of blood donors is n = 8, find the probability that the number with group O is x = 3.
3. if the number of blood donors is n = 20, find the probability that the number with group O blood is x = 16.
4. if the number of blood donors is n = 11, find the probability that the number with group O blood is x = 9.

Answer:

1. 0.1684 = 16.84%.

2. 0.2568 = 25.68%

3. 0.0013 = 0.13%

4. 0.0126 = 1.26%.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have blood that is Group O, or they do not. The probability of a person having blood that is Group O is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

45% of them have blood that is Group O

This means that p = 0.45

Question 1:

This is P(X = 6) when n = 16. So

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

P(X = 6) = C_{16,6}.(0.45)^{6}.(0.55)^{10} = 0.1684

So 0.1684 = 16.84%.

Question 2:

This is P(X = 3) when n = 8. So

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

P(X = 3) = C_{8,3}.(0.45)^{3}.(0.55)^{5} = 0.2568

So 0.2568 = 25.68%.

Question 3:

This is P(X = 16) when n = 20. So

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

P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.45)^{16}.(0.55)^{4} = 0.0013

So 0.0013 = 0.13%.

Question 4:

This is P(X = 9) when n = 11. So

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

P(X = 9) = C_{11,9}.(0.45)^{9}.(0.55)^{2} = 0.0126

So 0.0126 = 1.26%.

Find the slope of the line passing through (6,8) and (-10,3)
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula to find slope when 2 points are given.

m = rise/run

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

m = 3 - 8 / -10 - 6

m = -5 / -16

m = 5/16

The slope of the line is 5/16.

In the diagram below, AB = BD = BC, and mZA = 24°. Find<br> mZC.
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

m∠C = 66°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB = BD, it means this triangle is an Isosceles triangle and as such;

∠BAD = ∠BDA = 24°

Thus, since sum of angles in a triangle is 180,then;

∠ABD = 180 - (24 + 24)

∠ABD = 180 - 48

∠ABD = 132°

We are told that BC = BD.

Thus, ∆BDC is an Isosceles triangle whereby ∠BCD = ∠BDC

Now, in triangles, we know that an exterior angle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles.

Thus;

132 = ∠BCD + ∠BDC

Since ∠BCD = ∠BDC, then

∠BCD = ∠BDC = 132/2

∠BCD = ∠BDC = 66°
