At Ersatz University, the graduating class of 480 includes 96 guest students from Latvia. A sample of 10 students is selected at

random to attend a dinner with the Board of Governors. Use the binomial model to obtain the approximate hypergeometric probability that the sample contains at least three Latvian students.

Answer:

A).3222

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are from Latvia, or they are not. We are choosing students without replacement. However, since the sample size is large, we can use the binomial distribution to approximate the hypergeometric distribution.

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.

480 students, of which 96 are from Latvia:

This means that p = \frac{96}{480} = 0.2

Sample of 10 students:

This means that n = 10

Probability that the sample contains at least three Latvian students.

Either there are less than three students from Latvia, or there are at least three. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. So

P(X < 3) + P(X \geq 3) = 1

We want P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3), in which:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

So

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

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{9} = 0.2684

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{8} = 0.3020

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.1074 + 0.2648 + 0.3020 = 0.6742

So

P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.6742 = 0.3258

The closest option is A.

In parallelogram ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E, AE = x^2 - 12, and CE = 4x What is AC?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

The length of the AC is x^2  + 4x  - 12.

<h3>What is a parallelogram?</h3>

That quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram.

Thus, a parallelogram is always a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral can or cannot be a parallelogram.

Given :

In Parallelogram ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.

such that

AE = x^2 - 12,

CE = 4x

We know that the diagonal of a parallelogram bisect each other.

x^2 - 12 = 4x

x^2  - 4x  - 12= 0

(x-6)(x-2) = 0

Hence, the value of x = 6, 2.

AC = AE + CE = x^2  + 4x  - 12.

The length of the AC is x^2  + 4x  - 12.

Which situation can be modeled by the inequality 50−12x≥8?
Nadya [2.5K]

4⅚ ≥ x; subtract fifty-eight from both sides, divide by -12 from both sides, and you will have your answer.

NOTE: This is where you reverse your inequality symbol [dividing or multiplying by a negative].
