Answer:

The standard deviation is of 8.586.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a genetic mutation, or they do not. The probability of a person having the mutation is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

About 9% of the population has a particular genetic mutation.

This means that p = 0.09

900 people are randomly selected.

This means that n = 900

Find the standard deviation for the number of people with the genetic mutation in such groups of 900.

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{900*0.09*0.91} = 8.586

The standard deviation is of 8.586.

Dustin is buying carpet for the living room. How many square feet of carpet will he need to buy?
rusak2 [61]

Complete Question:

Dustin is buying carpet for the living room. If the length of the room is 21 ft and the width

is 11 ft, how many square feet of carpet does he need to buy?

Answer:

231 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

==>GIVEN:

Length of room (L) = 21 ft

Width of room (W) = 11 ft

==>REQUIRED:

Square feet of carpet to be bought = area of the rectangular room

==>SOLUTION:

The room to be covered with carpet is rectangular in shape. In order to ascertain the square feet of carpet to be bought, we need to calculate the area of the room by using the formula for area of rectangle.

Thus, area of rectangle (A) = Length (L) × Width (W)

A = 21 × 11

A = 231 ft²

Square feet of carpet to be bought = 231 ft²

If the area of a trapezoid is 28 m with a height of 14 m in with one of the base being 1 m to find the length of the second face
In-s [12.5K]
The area of a trapezoid is basically the average width times the altitude, or as a formula:
Area = h ·

b 1 + b 2
2


where
b1, b2 are the lengths of each base
h is the altitude (height)
Recall that the bases are the two parallel sides of the trapezoid. The altitude (or height) of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distance between the two bases.

In the applet above, click on "freeze dimensions". As you drag any vertex, you will see that the trapezoid redraws itself keeping the height and bases constant. Notice how the area does not change in the displayed formula. The area depends only on the height and base lengths, so as you can see, there are many trapezoids with a given set of dimensions which all have the same area.
