Answer:

Since n(1-p) = 3.72 < 10, the normal curve cannot be used as an approximation to the binomial probability.

100% probability that greater than 26 out of 124 software users will call technical support.

Step-by-step explanation:

Test if the normal curve can be used as an approximation to the binomial probability by verifying the necessary conditions.

It is needed that:

np \geq 10 and n(1-p) \geq 10

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

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 distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, 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)}.

Out of 124 software users

This means that n = 124

Assume the probability that a given software user will call technical support is 97%.

This means that p = 0.97

Conditions:

np = 124*0.97 = 120.28 \geq 10

n(1-p) = 124*0.03 = 3.72 < 10

Since n(1-p) = 3.72 < 10, the normal curve cannot be used as an approximation to the binomial probability.

Consider the probability that greater than 26 out of 124 software users will call technical support.

The lowest possible probability of those is 27, so, if it is 0, since it is considerably below the mean, 100% probability of being greater. We have that:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 27) = C_{124,27}.(0.97)^{27}.(0.03)^{97} = 0

1 - 0 = 1

100% probability that greater than 26 out of 124 software users will call technical support.

Priya rode her bike 1250 feet. If her bike wheel has a diameter of 2.5 feet, how many times did her wheel make a full rotation?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

  • 159 times

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>
  • d = 2.5 ft
  • Distance = 1250 ft
<h3>To find</h3>
  • Number of rotations
<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>Circumference of the wheel is the one full rotation:</u>

  • C = πd = 3.14*2.5 = 7.85 ft

<u>Number rotations:</u>

  • 1250/7.85 = 159.2

<u>Correct option is</u> 159 times

Assignment The operation teeter is defined on the set T= { 2, 3, 5, 7 } by x teeter y=[x+y+xy) mod.8 a - Construct mod.8 table f
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Case A) tau_net = -243.36 N m, case B)    tau_net = 783.36 N / m,      tau_net = -63.36 N m,  case C)  tau _net = - 963.36 N m,

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Newton's relation for rotation

        Σ τ  = I α

In this exercise the mass of the child is m = 28.8, assuming x = 1.5 m, the force applied by the man is F = 180N

we will assume that the counterclockwise turns are positive.

case a

        tau_net = m g x - F x2

         tau_nett = -28.8 9.8 1.5 + 180 1

        tau_net = -243.36 N m

in this case the man's force is downward and the system rotates clockwise

case b

2 force clockwise, the direction of

the force is up

         tau_nett = -28.8 9.8 1.5 - 180 2

         tau_net = 783.36 N / m

in case the force is applied upwards

3) counterclockwise

       tau_nett = -28.8 9.8 1.5 + 180 2

        tau_net = -63.36 N m

system rotates clockwise

case c

2 schedule

tau_nett = -28.8 9.8 1.5 - 180 3

tau _net = - 963.36 N m

3 counterclockwise

      tau_nett = -28.8 9.8 1.5 + 180 3

      tau_net = 116.64 Nm

the sitam rotated counterclockwise

Ted and Fred are the owners of a gas station. They invested $150,000 each and pay an employee named Lawrence $35,000 per year. T
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Ted and Fred

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question,

Ted and Fred are the owners of a gas station that is they are the owner of their own firm.

As being the owner of their own company, they are the one who is responsible for their loss. That is the firm’s owners always suffer the firm’s risk.

Business Risk: Risk that a business will not be able to cover its operating costs.

So in this case, Lawrence is the employee and legally he is not responsible to suffer any kind of the loss.

So he must be paid his salary  on time and in full whether or not the firm is running a profit, a loss, or just breaking  even.

As being owner Ted and Fred are responsible to withstand the business risk.

Hence, the person who is legally responsible for bearing the $40,000 loss is Ted and Fred.
