Answer:

The standard deviation is of 7.22 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have the 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 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)}

About 7% of the population has a particular genetic mutation.

This means that p = 0.07

800 people are randomly selected.

This means that n = 800

Find the standard deviation for the number of people with the genetic mutation in such groups of 800.

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{800*0.07*0.93} = 7.22

The standard deviation is of 7.22 people.

I NEED HELPP PLZ Which equation best represents the relationship shown in this graph?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

y = 2x

the formula for linear equations are y = mx+c,

where m is the gradient,

and c is the y-intercept

to find m (the gradient):

1. pick to points on the graph (eg. -2,-4 and 2,4)

2 substitute the values into the formula for gradient y2-y1/x2-x1.

m = y2-y1/x1-x2

= -4 -4/-2-2

= -8/-4

= 2

to find c (y-intercept):

- the y-intercept is where the graph cuts the y axis

- in this graph, the y-intercept is 0

hence,

c = 0

substitute m = 2 and c = 0 to y = mx+c,

y = 2x + 0

y = 2x

hence, the equation that best represents the relationship shown in the graph is y = 2x.

Y = -4/3x − 1<br> y = 1/3x + 4
Tom [10]

Answer:

x = -3, y =3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -4/3x - 1

y = 1/3x + 4 -------> 4y = 4/3x + 16

Adding the first equation and the new second equation together:

5y = 15 ------> y = 3

Plug y = 3 into one of the original equations:

3 = 1/3x + 4

-1 = 1/3x

x = -3
