Blood type AB is the rarest blood type, occurring in only 4% of the population in the United States. In Australia, only 1.5% of

the population has blood type AB. Suppose a random sample of 50 U.S. residents and 40 Australians is obtained. Consider the random variables described below:
X: the number of US residents (out of 50) with blood type AB.
Y: the number of Australians (out of 40) with blood type AB.
Z: the total number of individuals (out of 90) with blood type AB.

Which of the following is true about the random variables X, Y, and Z?

a. X is a binomial random variable with n = 50 and p = 0.04
b. Y is a binomial random variable with n = 40 and p = 0.015
c. Z is a binomial random variable with n = 90 and p = 0.055

Answer:

a. X is a binomial random variable with n = 50 and p = 0.04

b. Y is a binomial random variable with n = 40 and p = 0.015

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

X: the number of US residents (out of 50) with blood type AB.

Blood type AB is the rarest blood type, occurring in only 4% of the population in the United States

This means that p = 0.04, n = 50

Y: the number of Australians (out of 40) with blood type AB.

In Australia, only 1.5% of the population has blood type AB.

This means that p = 0.015, n = 40

Z: the total number of individuals (out of 90) with blood type AB.

Here

n = 90, p = 0.04*\frac{50}{90} + 0.015*\frac{40}{90} = 0.0289

Which of the following is true about the random variables X, Y, and Z?

Options a and b are true, while c is false.

B is the midpoint of AC. C is the midpoint of AD. Find the coordinates of B and D given the coordinates of A (-2,5) and the coor
GalinKa [24]

B= (3,6) and D= (18,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint of two given points add X1 and X2 together, then divide by 2 to get the X value of the midpoint and do the same thing for the Y value. That will get you B. From there you can see to get from point A to point C you add 10 to the x value and add 2 to the y value. Because C is the midpoint just double what you had to add to get point D (add 20 to x and add 4 to y)
