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>

4 friends share 3 oranges equally. How much does each friend get?
saveliy_v [14]
3 oranges / 4 friends  =  3/4 orange for each of them, or 0.75 orange each

(You can check the answer by saying, if each of them get 3/4 of an orange, then multiplying that by the 4 friends should give me the 3 oranges.  3/4 x 4 = 3, so it's correct).

<h3>Answer:  a = 100</h3>

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

Explanation:

There are n = 7 sides to this polygon (so it's a heptagon)

The interior angles add up to 180(n-2) = 180*(7-2) = 900 degrees.

So that means,

69+284+62+62+242+81+a = 900

800+a = 900

a = 900-800

a = 100

Given: ABCD parallelogram BK ⊥ AD , AB = 6, AK = 3 Find: m∠A, m∠B, m∠C, m∠D
Troyanec [42]

Answer: Angle A = 60°, angle B = 120°, angle C = 60°, angle D = 120°

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram for further details.

The question has given the parallelogram ABCD as having side AB measuring 6 units, side AK measuring 3 units and line BK has been drawn perpendicular to line AD. This means line AK forms a right angle at the point where it meets line AD. From the information provided and the figure derived from that, we have right angled triangle ABK with the right angle at point K, line AB equals 6 units and line AK equals 3 units.

Using angle A as the reference angle, line AK is the opposite (side facing the reference angle), line AB is the hypotenuse (line facing the right angle) and line AK is the adjacent (side that lies between the right angle and the reference angle).

Hence, using the trigonometric ratios,

Cos A = adjacent/hypotenuse

Cos A = 3/6

Cos A = 0.5

Checking with the calculator, (that is second function of Cos 0.5)

A = 60

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal (that is line AD is parallel to line BC) and therefore opposite angles are equal (that is angle A is equal to angle C).

Similarly, angle B is equal to angle D. However, angles in a quadrilateral equals 360 degrees.

Therefore, angles in parallelogram ABCD is derived as;

A + B + C + D = 360

60 + B + 60 + D = 360

120 + B + D = 360

Subtract 120 from both sides of the equation

B + D = 240

Having known that angle B equals angle D, angles B and D is derived as each half of the value 240

Angle B = 240/2

Angle B = 120

and angle D = 120

Therefore, the angles are;

A = 60, B = 120, C = 60, D = 120
