Answer:

0.8212 = 82.12% probability that greater than 94 out of 153 people will not get the flu this winter.

Step-by-step explanation:

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)}.

In this problem, we have that:

p = 0.65, n = 153. So

\mu = E(X) = 153*0.65 = 99.45

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{153*0.65*0.35} = 5.9

Consider the probability that greater than 94 out of 153 people will not get the flu this winter

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 94. So

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

Z = \frac{94 - 99.45}{5.9}

Z = -0.92

Z = -0.92 has a pvalue of 0.1788

1 - 0.1788 = 0.8212

0.8212 = 82.12% probability that greater than 94 out of 153 people will not get the flu this winter.

This is the graph of f(x). What is the value of f(3)?
Paul [167]

Answer:

The value of f(3) is 8 ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In the function f(x) = y, y is the corresponding value of x
  • Ex: If f(a) = b, then the value of y = b at x = a

Let us solve the question

∵ The given figure represents the function f(x)

→ That means every point on the graph represents f(x) = y

∴ f(x) = y

∵ We need to find f(3)

→ That means we need the value of y at x = 3

∴ x = 3

Look at the graph and find the y-coordinate of the point that lies on the curve and has x-coordinate = 3

→ Each small square on the x-axis represents 1 unit, and on the y-axis

   represents 2 units

∵ There is a point on the graph that has x-coordinate = 3

∵ The y-coordinate of this point is 8

∴ The point (3, 8) lies on the graph of f(x)

∴ x = 3 and y = 8

∴ f(3) = 8

∴ The value of f(3) is 8

How do you use compatible numbers to estimate the quotient $595 divided by 25
storchak [24]
Well, 25 certainly doesn't divide evenly into 595, but it does divide into 600, which is <em>very</em> close to 595. So if we divide 600 by 25, we can get a rough estimate of what 595 divided by 25 is.
\frac{600}{25} = 6* \frac{100}{25} = 6* 4=24
