Answer: x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you break the fraction into a whole number it would be 5 and 10 minus 5 is 5. so x=5

A survey report states that 70% of adult women visit their doctors for a physical examination at least once in two years. If 20

irakobra [83]

Answer:

a) 0.3921 = 39.21% probability that fewer than 14 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

b) 0.107 = 10.7% probability that at least 17 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each women, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they visit their doctors for a physical examination at least once in two years, or they do not. The probability of a woman visiting their doctor at least once in this period is independent of any other women. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

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.

70% of adult women visit their doctors for a physical examination at least once in two years.

This means that $p = 0.7$

20 adult women

This means that $n = 20$

(a) Fewer than 14 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

This is:

$P(X < 14) = 1 - P(X \geq 14)$

In which

$P(X \geq 14) = P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

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

$P(X = 14) = C_{20,14}.(0.7)^{14}.(0.3)^{6} = 0.1916$

$P(X = 15) = C_{20,15}.(0.7)^{15}.(0.3)^{5} = 0.1789$

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.7)^{16}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.1304$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,14}.(0.7)^{17}.(0.3)^{3} = 0.0716$

$P(X = 18) = C_{20,18}.(0.7)^{18}.(0.3)^{2} = 0.0278$

$P(X = 19) = C_{20,19}.(0.7)^{19}.(0.3)^{1} = 0.0068$

$P(X = 20) = C_{20,20}.(0.7)^{20}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.0008$

So

$P(X \geq 14) = P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.1916 + 0.1789 + 0.1304 + 0.0716 + 0.0278 + 0.0068 + 0.0008 = 0.6079$

$P(X < 14) = 1 - P(X \geq 14) = 1 - 0.6079 = 0.3921$

0.3921 = 39.21% probability that fewer than 14 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

(b) At least 17 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years

$P(X \geq 17) = P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

From the values found in item (a).

$P(X \geq 17) = P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.0716 + 0.0278 + 0.0068 + 0.0008 = 0.107$

0.107 = 10.7% probability that at least 17 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

Find the 53rd term of the arithmetic sequence<br> 27,11, -5

vivado [14]

Answer:

The 53rd term of this arithmetic sequence is -805.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general rule of an arithmetic sequence is the following:

$a_{n+1} = a_{n} + d$

In which d is the common diference between each term, that is, $d = a_{3} - a_{2} = a_{2} - a_{1}$ .

To find the nth term of the sequence, this equation can be written as:

$a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)d$

27,11, -5

So $a_{1} = 27, a_{2} - a_{1} = 11 - 27 = -16[/tex[tex]a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)d$

$a_{53} = a_{1} + (52)d = 27 + 52*(-16) = -805$

The 53rd term of this arithmetic sequence is -805.

9.1 x 10-31 kg.

Reptile [31]

1 electron has a mass of 9.1 X 10-31 kg. How many electrons n does it take to make 1 kg?

(1 e)/(9.1 X 10-31 kg) = n/(1 kg)

So, n = 1.10 X 1030 electrons

Each electron has a charge of 1.6 X 10-19 C, where C stands for Coulombs. So, the n electrons have a charge of q = ne = (1.10 X 1030 electrons) X (1.6 X 10-19 C/electron) = 1.76 X 1011 C.
