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.

75% of 48 explain the process too!
weqwewe [10]
Let us consider 48 as 100%
so,
48------------->100
x -------------->75
therefore,
100*x=48*75
x=(48*75)/100
x=36

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-8,-8) and (6,-8)
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Slope = 0

So, the line is parallel to x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

(x₁ , y₁) = (-8, -8)      & (x₂ ,y₂) = (6 , -8)

Slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\\=\frac{-8-[-8]}{6-[-8]}\\\\=\frac{-8+8}{6+8}\\\\= 0

Please helpp with my math hw I’ll give brainlest
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

20 percent

40 percent

20 percent

20(.008) percent

Step-by-step explanation:

6) 54 - 45 = 9

45 / 9 = 5

100 / 5 = 20

20 percent

7) 60 - 36 = 24

60 / 24 = 2.5

100 / 2.5 = 40

40 percent

8) 30 - 24 = 6

30 / 6 = 5

100 / 5 = 20

20 percent

9) 24.99 - 19.99 = 5

24.99 / 5 = 4.998

100 / 4.998 approx. = 20.008

20.008 percent (or rounded 20 percent)
