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%.

Jack is mowing a lawn that has a shed. needs to know area of lawn to mow. dimensions of yard are 5x by 13 x-4 . she'd are 2x by
Elena-2011 [213]
The diagram of the lawn and the shed is shown below.

The area of the lawn needed to be mowed equals to the area of the yard minus the area of the shed

The area of the yard = (5x)(13x-4) = 65 x^{2} -20x
The area of the shed = (2x)(2x+4)=4 x^{2} +8x

The area of the lawn = 65 x^{2} -20x-(4 x^{2} +8x)
The area of the lawn = 65 x^{2} -20x-4 x^{2} -8x
The area of the lawn = 61 x^{2} -28x

Answer: Hello your question some data but i will provide a general solution based on the scope of your question making some suggestions as well

answer : Summation of displacements ( back and forth distance ) / Number of Runners

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ; the aim of the race is to raise money

The number of miles/ distance covered will determine how much money that would be raised

Formula to resolve the problem =  Summation of displacements ( back and forth distance ) / Number of Runners

<em>Lets assume: ( example ) </em>

<em> Distance between the Park and the City hall is = 6 miles </em>

<em>Number of runners = 4</em>

<em>Given that the runners Run  from the Park to the City hall and then run back</em>

<em>Total miles covered by each runner = ( 6 + 6 )/ 4  = 12/4 = 3 miles </em>

You can make small 20 small frames in 4 days or 21 large frames in 3 days. A customer has just place a order with you for 40 sma
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

I got 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it takes 4 days to make 20 small frames, it takes 8 days to make 40. And because it takes 3 days to make 21 frames, and 21 multiplied by 3 is 63 (one less than 64), it would take 9 days (3 times the amount for 21) to make 64 large frames. In all, it would take APPROXIMATELY 17 days (9 +8 is 17)
