"A study conducted at a certain college shows that 56% of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year

KiRa [710]

Answer:

99.27% probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they find a job in their chosen field within one year of graduating, or they do not. The probability of a student finding a job in their chosen field within one year of graduating is independent of other students. 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.

56% of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year after graduation.

This means that $p = 0.56$

Find the probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

This is $P(X \geq 1)$ when n = 6.

Either none find a job, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.56)^{0}.(0.44)^{6} = 0.0073$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0073 = 0.9927$

99.27% probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

For a group of 100 people, compute(a) the expected number of days of the year that are birthdays of exactly 3 people.(b) the exp

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Leaving leap years, a year contains 365 days.

For a group of 100 people, each person is independent of the other and probability of any day being his birthday has a chance of

$\frac{1}{365}$

a) Probability that exactly 3 people have same birthday = $\frac{1}{365^3}$

Each day is independent of the other

And hence no of days having exactly 3 persons birthday out of 100 persons is binomial with n = 365 and p = $\frac{1}{365^3}$

Expected value of days = np = $\frac{1}{365^2}$

b) Distinct birthdays is binomail with p =1/365 and n = 365

Hence

expected value = np =1

I need these correct answers nowww

faust18 [17]

Answer:

1 - 3/14

2 - 10 5/8

3 - 3/8

4 - 12 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

numbers 1 and 3 are simple, just multiply the numerators and denominators together.

Numbers 2 and 4, you convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and multiply. Don't forget to switch the answer back to a mixed number if needed!

4. Use formulas to find the lateral area and surface area of the given prism. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. The

a_sh-v [17]

4.) The lateral area of a figure is the area of the figure with the exception of the bases.
Given a prism with right triangle bases, the lateral area of the prism is the sum of the areas of the rectangles making up the prism.
This is given by
Lateral area = (8.94)(41) + (4)(41) + (8)(41) = 366.54 + 164 + 328 = 858.54 ≈ 859 m^2

The surface area is the sum of the bases plus the lateral area. The area of a rectangle is given by half base times height.
Surface area = 1/2 x 8 x 4 + 1/2 x 8 x 4 + 859 = 16 + 16 + 859 = 891 m^2

5.) The surface area of a cylinder is given by pi r^2h where r is the radius = 12 inches and h is the height = 17 inches.
Surface area = π x (12)^2 x 17 = 2,448π = 7,690.62 in^2 ≈ 7,691 in^2

Scott brought $23.25 to the art supply store. He bought a brush, a sketchbook, and a paint set. The brush was one fourth as much

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Paint set cost = 10.5 , Sketch book cost = 7 , Brush cost = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of paint set be = p

Cost of sketchbook 's' = (2 / 3) p

Cost of brush 'b' = 1/4th of s = 1 / 4 [ (2 / 3) p ] = (1 / 6) p

Total expenditure = Money bought - Money left = 23.25 - 4 = 19.25

Total expenditure = Cost of (pen + of sketchbook + of brush) = p + s + b

= p + (2 / 3) p + (1 / 6) p = 19.25 → p + 2p / 3 + p / 6 = 19.25

( 6p + 4p + p ) / 6 = 19.25 → 11p / 6 = 19.25 → p = ( 19.25 x 6 ) / 11

p = 10.5 ; s = (2 / 3) p = 2 / 3 (10.5) = 7 ; b = (1 / 6) p = 10.5 / 6 = 1.75
