Underage drinking, Part I: Data collected by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) suggests tha

t 69.7% of 18-20 year olds consumed alcoholic beverages in 2008. (a) Suppose a random sample of the ten 18-20 year olds is taken. Is the use of the binomial distribution appropriate for calculating the probability that exactly six consumed alcoholic beverages? No, this follows the bimodal distribution No, the normal distribution should be used Yes, there are 10 independent trials, each with exactly two possible outcomes, and a constant probability associated with each possible outcome No, the trials are not independent (please round to four (b) Calculate the probability that exactly 6 out of 10 randomly sampled 18-20 year olds consumed an alcoholic drink. (please round to four decimal places) (c) What is the probability that exactly four out of the ten 18-20 year olds have not consumed an alcoholic beverage? decimal places) (d) What is the probability that at most 2 out of 5 randomly sampled 18-20 year olds have consumed alcoholic beverages? (please round to four decimal places) (e) What is the probability that at least 1 out of 5 randomly sampled 18-20 year olds have consumed alcoholic beverages? (please round to four decimal places)

Answer:

a. <u>Yes, there are 10 independent trials, each with exactly two possible outcomes, and a constant probability associated with each possible outcome.</u>

b. <u>The probability is 0.2029 or 20.29%</u>

c. <u>The probability is 0.2029 or 20.29%</u>

d. <u>The probability is 0.1671 or 16.71%</u>

e. <u>The probability is 0.9975 or 99.75%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>a. Yes, there are 10 independent trials, each with exactly two possible outcomes, and a constant probability associated with each possible outcome.</u>

b. Let's use the binomial distribution table, this way:

Binomial distribution (n=10, p=0.697)

 f(x) F(x) 1 - F(x)

x Pr[X = x] Pr[X ≤ x]

0 0.0000 0.0000

1 0.0002 0.0002

2 0.0016 0.0017

3 0.0095 0.0112

4 0.0384 0.0496

5 0.1059 0.1555

6 <u>0.2029</u> 0.3584

7 0.2668 0.6252

8 0.2301 0.8553

9 0.1176 0.9729

10 0.0271 1.0000

<u>The probability is 0.2029 or 20.29%</u>

c. If 69.7% of 18-20 years old consumed alcoholic beverages in 2008, therefore, 30.3% did not and the binomial distribution table is:

Binomial distribution (n=10, p=0.303)

 f(x) F(x) 1 - F(x)

x Pr[X = x] Pr[X ≤ x]

0 0.0271 0.0271

1 0.1176 0.1447

2 0.2301 0.3748

3 0.2668 0.6416

4 <u>0.2029</u> 0.8445

5 0.1059 0.9504

6 0.0384 0.9888

7 0.0095 0.9983

8 0.0016 0.9998

9 0.0002 1.0000

10 0.0000 1.0000

<u>The probability is 0.2029 or 20.29%</u>

d. Let's use the binomial distribution table, this way:

Binomial distribution (n=5, p=0.697)

 f(x) F(x) 1 - F(x)

x Pr[X = x] Pr[X ≤ x]

0 0.0026 0.0026

1 0.0294 0.0319

2 0.1351 <u>0.1671 </u>

3 0.3109 0.4779

4 0.3576 0.8355

5 0.1645 1.0000

P(0) + P(1) + P (2) = 0.0026 + 0.0294 + 0.1351

<u>The probability is 0.1671 or 16.71%</u>

e. Using the same binomial distribution table we used in d. we have:

P(1) + P (2) + P(3) + P(4) + P (5) = 0.0294 + 0.1351 + 0.3109 + 0.3576 + 0.1645

<u>The probability is 0.9975 or 99.75%</u>

Which method and additional information would prove triangle ONP and triangle MNL similar by the AA similarity postulate?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

Use a rigid transformation to prove that angle NPO is congruent to angle NLM

=====================================================

Explanation:

The AA stands for "angle angle". So we need two pairs of angles to prove the triangles to be similar. The first pair of angles is the vertical angles ONP and MNL, which are congruent. Any pair of vertical angles are always congruent.

The second pair of angles could either be

  • angle NOP = angle NML
  • angle NPO = angle NLM

so we have a choice on which to pick. The pairing angle NOP = angle NML is not listed in the answer choices, but angle NPO = angle NLM is listed as choice B.

Saying angle NLM = angle LMN is not useful because those two angles are part of the same triangle. The two angles must be in separate triangles to be able to tie the triangles together.

We would use a rigid transformation to have angle NPO move to angle NLM, or vice versa through the use of a rotation and a translation.
