Five balls are numbered 1 through 5 and placed in a bowl. Josh will randomly choose a ball from the bowl, look at its number and

then put it back into the bowl. Then Josh will again randomly choose a ball from the bowl and look at its number. What is the probability that the product of the two numbers will be even and greater than 10

Answer:

1/5

Each of the 5 balls has 5 possible combinations, as each one (1 - 5) can be paired with any of the 5. Therefore, the total number of combinations is 25.

For the product to be even, one of the balls has to be a 2 or 4. However, 2 multiplied by any number 1 - 5 is not greater than 10, so 2 is not an option. This means one of the balls has to be a 4.

There are only 3 numbers of 1 - 5 that, when multiplied by 4, are greater than 10. These are 3, 4, and 5.

This means that there are 5 combinations that work:

3 × 4 = 12

4 × 3 = 12

4 × 4 = 16

4 × 5 = 20

5 × 4 = 20

This means that 5 out of 25 combinations produce a result that is both even and greater than 10.

5/25 is then simplified to 1/5

It is estimated that 75% of all young adults between the ages of 18-35 do not have a landline in their homes and only use a cell
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

a) 75

b) 4.33

c) 0.75

d) 3.2 \times 10^{-13} probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline

e) 6.2 \times 10^{-61} probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.

f) Binomial, with n = 100, p = 0.75

g) 4.5 \times 10^{-8} probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each young adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they do not own a landline, or they do. The probability of an young adult not having a landline is independent of any other adult, 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.

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)}

75% of all young adults between the ages of 18-35 do not have a landline in their homes and only use a cell phone at home.

This means that p = 0.75

(a) On average, how many young adults do not own a landline in a random sample of 100?

Sample of 100, so n = 100

E(X) = np = 100(0.75) = 75

(b) What is the standard deviation of probability of young adults who do not own a landline in a simple random sample of 100?

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{100(0.75)(0.25)} = 4.33

(c) What is the proportion of young adults who do not own a landline?

The estimation, of 75% = 0.75.

(d) What is the probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline?

This is P(X = 100), that is, all do not own. So

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

P(X = 100) = C_{100,100}.(0.75)^{100}.(0.25)^{0} = 3.2 \times 10^{-13}

3.2 \times 10^{-13} probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.

(e) What is the probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline?

This is P(X = 0), that is, all own. So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.75)^{0}.(0.25)^{100} = 6.2 \times 10^{-61}

6.2 \times 10^{-61} probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.

(f) What is the distribution of the number of young adults in a sample of 100 who do not own a landline?

Binomial, with n = 100, p = 0.75

(g) What is the probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline?

This is P(X = 50). So

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

P(X = 50) = C_{100,50}.(0.75)^{50}.(0.25)^{50} = 4.5 \times 10^{-8}

4.5 \times 10^{-8} probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline.

If you need 3/4 cups of beans for 7 servings. How many do you need if you want to make 35 servings
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

3 3/4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

We need 3/4 cups of beans for 7 servings, and we need to figure out how many cups we need for <em>35 servings</em>. You'll notice that 7 times 5 is 35. We can multiply 3/4 by 5 to find the answer to our problem. This thought process looks somewhat like this:

\frac{\frac{3}{4} }{7}  = \frac{x}{35}

Notice that we can multiply 5 by 3/4 to find the value of x.

So, 3/4 times 5 is equal to 15/4, or 3 3/4. So, you need 3 3/4 cups of beans for 35 servings.

Hopefully this was helpful! If you have any more questions, let me know.
