A toy box contains eight green balls and four purple balls. Suppose you choose a ball at random and then replace it by putting i

dedylja [7]

Answer: C. $\dfrac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Box contains 8 green balls and 4 purple balls.

Total balls = 8+4 = 12

event 1 = first picking green ball

event 2 = second picking purple balls.

As first ball was replaced, that means both events are independent.

Probability that you have selected a green ball and then a purple ball = P(purple ball )

Formula for probability = $\dfrac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}}$

Probability of selecting a purple ball (second pick)= $\dfrac{4}{12}$

$=\dfrac{1}{3}$

The required probability $=\dfrac{1}{3}$ , so C is correct option.

The weight of an organ in adult males has a bell shaped distribution with a mean of 320 grams and a standard deviation of 20 gra

Stells [14]

Answer:

a) 300 and 340

b) 95%

c) 5%

d) 81.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of an organ in adult males has a bell shaped(normal distribution).

Mean weight = 320 grams

Standard deviation = 20 grams

Part a) About 68% of organs weight between:

According to the empirical rule:

68% of the data values lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean
95% of the data values lie within 2 standard deviation of the mean
99.7% of the data values lie within 3 standard deviation of the mean

Thus, 68% of the data values lie in the range: Mean - 1 standard deviation to Mean + 1 Standard Deviation.

Using the values of Mean and Standard deviation, we get:

Mean - 1 Standard Deviation = 320 - 20 = 300 grams

Mean + 1 Standard Deviation = 320 + 20 = 340 grams

This means 68% of the organs will weigh between 300 and 340 grams.

Part b) What percentage of organs weighs between 280 grams and 360 grams?

In order to find what percentage of organs weight between the given range, we need to find how much far these values are from the mean.

Since, mean is 320 and 280 is 40 less than mean, we can write:

280 = 320 - 40

280 = 320 - 2(2)

280 = 320 - 2 Standard Deviations

Similarly,

360 = 320 + 40

360 = 320 + 2 Standard Deviations

So, we have to tell what percentage of values lie within 2 standard deviation of the mean. According to the empirical law, this amount is 95%.

So, 95% of the organs weigh between 280 grams and 360 grams.

Part c) What percentage of organs weighs less than 280 grams or more than 360 grams?

From the previous part we know that 95% of the organs weight between 280 grams and 360 grams.

It is given that the distribution is bell shaped. The total percentage under a bell shaped distribution is 100%. So in order to calculate how much percentage of values are below 280 and above 360, we need to subtract the percentage of values that are between 280 and 360 from 100% i.e.

Percentage of Value outside the range = 100% - Percentage of values inside the range

So,

Percentage of organs weighs less than 280 grams or more than 360 grams = 100 - Percentage of organs that weigh between 280 grams and 360 grams

Percentage of organs weighs less than 280 grams or more than 360 grams = 100% - 95%

= 5%

So, 5% of the organs weigh less than 280 grams or more than 360 grams.

Part d) Percentage of organs weighs between 300 grams and 360 grams.

300 is 1 standard deviation below the mean and 360 is 2 standard deviations above the mean.

Previously it has been established that, 68% of the data values lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean i.e

From 1 standard deviation below the mean to 1 standard deviation above the mean, the percentage of values is 68%. Since the distribution is bell shaped and bell shaped distribution is symmetric about the mean, so the percentage of values below the mean and above the mean must be the same.

So, from 68% of the data values that are within 1 standard deviation from the mean, half of them i.e. 34% are 1 standard deviation below the mean and 34% are 1 standard deviation above the mean. Thus, percentage of values from 300 to 320 is 34%

Likewise, data within 2 standard deviations of the mean is 95%. From this half of the data i.e. 47.5% is 2 standard deviations below the mean and 47.5% is 2 standard deviations above the mean. Thus, percentage of values between 320 and 360 grams is 47.5%

So,

The total percentage of values from 300 grams to 360 grams = 34% + 47.5% = 81.5%

Therefore, 81.5% of organs weigh between 300 grams and 360 grams

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Probability that the first vehicle selected is a motorcycle and the second vehicle is a van is (24/187) or 0.1283.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an automobile manufacturing plant produced 34 vehicles today: 16 were motorcycles, 9 were trucks, and 9 were vans.

Plant managers are going to select two of these vehicles for a thorough inspection. The first vehicle will be selected at random, and then the second vehicle will be selected at random from the remaining vehicles.

As we know that, Probability of any event = $\frac{\text{Favorable number of outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

Now, Probability that the first vehicle selected is a motorcycle is given by;

= $\frac{\text{Number of motorcycles}}{\text{Total number of vehicles}}$

Here, Number of motorcycles = 16

Total number of vehicles = 16 + 9 + 9 = 34

So, Probability that the first vehicle selected is a motorcycle = $\frac{16}{34}$

Similarly, Probability that the second vehicle is a van is given by;

= $\frac{\text{Number of vans}}{\text{Total number of remaining vehicles}}$

Here, Number of vans = 9

And Total number of remaining vehicles after selecting one motorcycle = 34 - 1 = 33

So, Probability that the second vehicle selected is a van = $\frac{9}{33}$

Therefore, the probability that the first vehicle selected is a motorcycle and the second vehicle is a van = $\frac{16}{34}\times \frac{9}{33}$

= $\frac{24}{187}$ = 0.1283
