g red bell pepper seeds germinates 85% of the time. planted 25 seeds. What is the probability that 20 or more germinate

bixtya [17]

Answer:

$P(X\geq 20)= P(X=20)+P(X=21)+P(X=22)+P(X=23)+P(X=24)+P(X=25)$

And replacing using the mass function we got:

$P(X=20)=(25C20)(0.85)^{20} (1-0.85)^{25-20}=0.156$

$P(X=21)=(25C21)(0.85)^{21} (1-0.85)^{25-21}=0.211$

$P(X=22)=(25C22)(0.85)^{22} (1-0.85)^{25-22}=0.217$

$P(X=23)=(25C23)(0.85)^{23} (1-0.85)^{25-23}=0.161$

$P(X=24)=(25C24)(0.85)^{24} (1-0.85)^{25-24}=0.0759$

$P(X=25)=(25C25)(0.85)^{25} (1-0.85)^{25-25}=0.0172$

And adding the values we got:

$P(X\geq 20) = 0.8381$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=25, p=0.85)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

We want to find the following probability:

$P(X\geq 20)= P(X=20)+P(X=21)+P(X=22)+P(X=23)+P(X=24)+P(X=25)$

And replacing using the mass function we got:

$P(X=20)=(25C20)(0.85)^{20} (1-0.85)^{25-20}=0.156$

$P(X=21)=(25C21)(0.85)^{21} (1-0.85)^{25-21}=0.211$

$P(X=22)=(25C22)(0.85)^{22} (1-0.85)^{25-22}=0.217$

$P(X=23)=(25C23)(0.85)^{23} (1-0.85)^{25-23}=0.161$

$P(X=24)=(25C24)(0.85)^{24} (1-0.85)^{25-24}=0.0759$

$P(X=25)=(25C25)(0.85)^{25} (1-0.85)^{25-25}=0.0172$

And adding the values we got:

$P(X\geq 20) = 0.8381$

The Wall Street Journal reports that 33% of taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes between $30,000 and $60,000 itemized deduction

Len [333]

Answer:

(a) n : 20 50 100 500

P (-200 < X - μ < 200) : 0.2886 0.4444 0.5954 0.9376

(b) The correct option is (b).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X represent the amount of deductions for taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes between $30,000 and $60,000 itemized deductions on their federal income tax return.

The mean amount of deductions is, μ = $16,642 and standard deviation is, σ = $2,400.

Assuming that the random variable X follows a normal distribution.

(a)

Compute the probability that a sample of taxpayers from this income group who have itemized deductions will show a sample mean within $200 of the population mean as follows:

For a sample size of n = 20

$P(\mu-200$

$=P(-0.37$

For a sample size of n = 50

$P(\mu-200$

$=P(-0.59$

For a sample size of n = 100

$P(\mu-200$

$=P(-0.83$

For a sample size of n = 500

$P(\mu-200$

$=P(-1.86$

n : 20 50 100 500

P (-200 < X - μ < 200) : 0.2886 0.4444 0.5954 0.9376

(b)

The law of large numbers, in probability concept, states that as we increase the sample size, the mean of the sample ( $\bar x$ ) approaches the whole population mean ( $\mu_{x}$ ).

Consider the probabilities computed in part (a).

As the sample size increases from 20 to 500 the probability that the sample mean is within $200 of the population mean gets closer to 1.

So, a larger sample increases the probability that the sample mean will be within a specified distance of the population mean.

Thus, the correct option is (b).

Answer the following 2 question

Zanzabum

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ii) Perimeter = 8 + 7 + 17 + 16 + (17-8) + (16-7)

=8+ 7 + 17 +16 + 9 + 9

= 66 m

Area = area of upper rectangle + area of lower rectangle

= 8*7 + 16*9

= 56 + 144

= 200 m²
