pogonyaev

Answer:

a) The mean is 900 and the standard deviation is 15.

b) 100% probability that at least 800 students accept.

c) 0.05% probability that more than 950 will accept.

d) 94.84% probability that more than 950 will accept

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses 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 samples 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)}.

(a) What are the mean and the standard deviation of the number X of students who accept?

n = 1200, p = 0.75. So

E(X) = np = 1200*0.75 = 900

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{1200*0.75*0.25} = 15

The mean is 900 and the standard deviation is 15.

(b) Use the Normal approximation to find the probability that at least 800 students accept.

Using continuity corrections, this is P(X \geq 800 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 799.5), which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 799.5. So

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

Z = \frac{799.5 - 900}{15}

Z = -6.7

Z = -6.7 has a pvalue of 0.

1 - 0 = 1

100% probability that at least 800 students accept.

(c) The college does not want more than 950 students. What is the probability that more than 950 will accept?

Using continuity corrections, this is P(X \geq 950 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 949.5), which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 949.5. So

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

Z = \frac{949.5 - 900}{15}

Z = 3.3

Z = 3.3 has a pvalue of 0.9995

1 - 0.9995 = 0.0005

0.05% probability that more than 950 will accept.

(d) If the college decides to increase the number of admission offers to 1300, what is the probability that more than 950 will accept?

Now n = 1300. So

E(X) = np = 1300*0.75 = 975

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{1200*0.75*0.25} = 15.6

Same logic as c.

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

Z = \frac{949.5 - 975}{15.6}

Z = -1.63

Z = -1.63 has a pvalue of 0.0516

1 - 0.0516 = 0.9484

94.84% probability that more than 950 will accept

Answer:

x = 1 and y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

7(1) minus 3(1) = 4

and 2(1) minus 1 = 1

just try and guess a number and try to solve the problem with that number, if it isn't the answer then repeat.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

6.) So 8 of 24 hours is 1/3. So the percent of his time used was <u><em>33.33333 . . %</em></u> (etc)

7.) The easiest way to figure out a percentage is dividing it. So if it was 30 hit out of 75 people, then divide 30 by 75. So <u><em>40%</em></u> of them got hit.

Hope that helps

It appears that people who are mildly obese are less active than leaner people. One study looked at the average number of minute
Molodets [167]

Answer:

10.38% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 mildly obese people exceeds 410 minutes.

99.55% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 lean people exceeds 410 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples 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.

Mildly obese

Normally distributed with mean 375 minutes and standard deviation 68 minutes. So \mu = 375, \sigma = 68

What is the probability (±0.0001) that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 mildly obese people exceeds 410 minutes?

So n = 6, s = \frac{68}{\sqrt{6}} = 27.76

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 410.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{410 - 375}{27.76}

Z = 1.26

Z = 1.26 has a pvalue of 0.8962.

So there is a 1-0.8962 = 0.1038 = 10.38% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 mildly obese people exceeds 410 minutes.

Lean

Normally distributed with mean 522 minutes and standard deviation 106 minutes. So \mu = 522, \sigma = 106

What is the probability (±0.0001) that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 lean people exceeds 410 minutes?

So n = 6, s = \frac{106}{\sqrt{6}} = 43.27

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 410.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{410 - 523}{43.27}

Z = -2.61

Z = -2.61 has a pvalue of 0.0045.

So there is a 1-0.0045 = 0.9955 = 99.55% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 6 lean people exceeds 410 minutes
