Answer:

0.0367 = 3.67% probability that exactly 6 patients will die

Step-by-step explanation:

The patients are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

In which:

x is the number of sucesses.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

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)!}

In this question, we have that:

20 patients means that N = 20

Sample of 8 means that n = 8

9 have the heart problem, so k = 9

What is the probability that exactly 6 patients will die?

This is P(X = 6).

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = 6) = h(6,20,8,9) = \frac{C_{9,6}*C_{11,2}}{C_{20,8}} = 0.0367

0.0367 = 3.67% probability that exactly 6 patients will die

Solve for z: 11=6|-2z| -5
skad [1K]

Answer:

the roots are {-4/3, 4/3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin the solution of 11=6|-2z| -5 by adding 5 to both sides:

11=6|-2z| -5 becomes 16 = 6|-2z|.

Dividing both sides by 12 yields

16/12 = |-z|

There are two cases here:  first, that one in which z is positive and second the one in which z is negative.

If z is positive, 4/3 = -z, and so z = -4/3, and:

If z is negative, 4/3 = z

Thus the roots are {-4/3, 4/3}

Enter the values to complete the statement. To determine whether (−1,4) (−1,4) is a solution to the equation 3x+8y=29 3x+8y=29 ,
aivan3 [116]
<span>To determine whether (−1,4) is a solution to the equation 3x+8y=29, substitute  ...-1... for x and ...4... and for y.


In a pair of values like (-1, 4), the first coordinate, or entry, occupied by -1 always represents x.

Similarly, the second coordinate occupied by 4 represents y.


Answer: </span>substitute  ...-1... for x and ...4... and for y.

Which of the following represents the zeros of the function
umka21 [38]
<span>g(x) = x^3 - 9x^2 + 2x + 48 ?

Probe some roots. When you use x = - 2

you will have: (-2)^3 - 9(-2)^2 + 2(-2) + 48 = -8 - 36 - 4 + 48 = 0

So, - 2 is a root

From that you can divide x^3 - 9x^2 + 2x + 48 by x + 2 and you will get

x^2 - 11x + 24

Then you can factor that: (x - 8)(x - 3)

So, the three roots are x = - 2, x = 3 and x = 8, which is the option B.

Answer: option B. x = 8, x = -2 , and x = 3
