Answer:

Number = 11\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Soup = 7\frac{1}{2} quarts

Portion = \frac{2}{3} quarts

Required

Determine the number of portions in the soup

<em>The question illustrates division of fractions and to solve this question, we simply divide the size of the soup by the size of the given portion</em>

<em />

<em />Number = Soup/Portion<em />

<em>Substitute values for Soup and Portion</em>

<em />Number = 7\frac{1}{2}\ quarts /\frac{2}{3} \ quarts<em />

<em />Number = 7\frac{1}{2}/\frac{2}{3}<em />

<em />

Convert mixed fraction to improper fraction

<em />Number = \frac{15}{2}/\frac{2}{3}<em />

Number = \frac{15}{2} * \frac{3}{2}

Number = \frac{15*3}{2*2}

Number = \frac{45}{4}

Number = 11\frac{1}{4}

<em>Hence, there are </em>11\frac{1}{4}<em>  of </em>\frac{2}{3}<em> quarts in </em>7\frac{1}{2}<em> quarts of soup</em>

An article written for a magazine claims that 78% of the magazine's subscribers report eating healthily the previous day. Suppos
Schach [20]

Answer:

89.44% probability that less than 80% of the sample would report eating healthily the previous day

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

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)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

p = 0.78, n = 675

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 675*0.78 = 526.5

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{675*0.78*0.22} = 10.76

What is the approximate probability that less than 80% of the sample would report eating healthily the previous day?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.8*675 = 540. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{540 - 526.5}{10.76}

Z = 1.25

Z = 1.25 has a pvalue of 0.8944

89.44% probability that less than 80% of the sample would report eating healthily the previous day

Two cards are drawn at random without replacement from a deck of 52 playing cards. If the first card chosen is a King, what is t
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

p=0.05882

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring.

-A standard deck of cards has 4 kings.

#After one card is removed, 51 remains of which 3 are kings:

P(king)=\frac{3}{51}\\\\=0.05882

Hence, the probability that the second card is king is 0.05882
