Answer:

The greatest number of kits she can create is 6 kits

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the above question using the greatest common factor method.

We have to find the factors of 18 and 12

The factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

The factors of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

Then the greatest common factor is 6.

Therefore, greatest number of kits that she can create is 6 kits

The number of sedimentary rocks in each kit

18 sedimentary rocks /6 kits = 3 sedimentary rocks

The number of Metamorphic rocks in each kit =

12 metamorphic ones/ 6 kits = 2 metamorphic rocks

Blood type AB is the rarest blood type, occurring in only 4% of the population in the United States. In Australia, only 1.5% of
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

a. X is a binomial random variable with n = 50 and p = 0.04

b. Y is a binomial random variable with n = 40 and p = 0.015

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

X: the number of US residents (out of 50) with blood type AB.

Blood type AB is the rarest blood type, occurring in only 4% of the population in the United States

This means that p = 0.04, n = 50

Y: the number of Australians (out of 40) with blood type AB.

In Australia, only 1.5% of the population has blood type AB.

This means that p = 0.015, n = 40

Z: the total number of individuals (out of 90) with blood type AB.

Here

n = 90, p = 0.04*\frac{50}{90} + 0.015*\frac{40}{90} = 0.0289

Which of the following is true about the random variables X, Y, and Z?

Options a and b are true, while c is false.
