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.

23 x 32 is the prime factorization for which one of these choices?
antoniya [11.8K]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

⟶ 2³ × 3² is the prime factorization for which one of these choices?

Let's check,

1) 6 = 3 × 2 [So, obviously not this choice]

2) 25 = 5 × 5 = 5² [Not this either]

3) 36 = 3 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 3² × 2² [Doesn't match with 2³ × 3²]

4) 72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = <u>2</u><u>³</u><u> </u><u>×</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u>²</u><u> </u>[Matches]

⟶ The answer is, choice <u>7</u><u>2</u><u>.</u>
