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.

Use the graphs to solve the simultaneous linear equations
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

x = 2 and y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the simultaneous linear equations

y = 2x + 1 and x + y = 7

We are to find the  value of x and y;

Substitute 1 into 2

From 2;

x+y = 7

x+2x+1 = 7

3x+1 = 7

3x = 7-1

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2

Recall that y = 2x+1

y = 2(2) + 1

y = 4+1

y = 5

Hence the solution from the graph will be the point where the line cuts the x axis and this will be at x = 2 and y = 5

Tara is using matrix multiplication to find image points of a translation. She is translating the image 2 units left and 4 units
Ahat [919]
Assuming that this is just on a 2-D coordinate plane, we must convert the expressions on to a 3-D plane since translation cannot be done on a 2-D plane. This is done by adding a dummy coordinate that does not change. Let us use "1" for this case.

Matrix:
| 0 0 -2 |(x) = (x - 2)
<span>| 0 0 4  |(y) = (y + 4)
</span><span>| 0 0 1  |(1) = 1</span>
