<h2>This should be Correct-</h2><h2 /><h3>Answer:</h3>

True

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

<u>A statistic is a characteristic of a sample, a portion of the target population. A parameter is a fixed, unknown numerical value, while the statistic is a known number and a variable which depends on the portion of the population.</u>

Parameter Definition: a quantity or statistical measure that, for a given population, is fixed and that is used as the value of a variable in some general distribution or frequency function to make it descriptive of that.

Population: The mean and variance of a population are population parameters.

Statistic Definiton: A statistic or sample statistic is any quantity computed from values in a sample that is used for a statistical purpose. Statistical purposes include estimating a population parameter, describing a sample, or evaluating a hypothesis. The average of sample values is a statistic.

Estimate the integral ∫6,0 x^2dx by the midpoint estimate, n = 6

Anettt [7]

Splitting up the interval [0, 6] into 6 subintervals means we have

$[0,1]\cup[1,2]\cup[2,3]\cup\cdots\cup[5,6]$

and the respective midpoints are $\dfrac12,\dfrac32,\dfrac52,\ldots,\dfrac{11}2$ . We can write these sequentially as ${x_i}^*=\dfrac{2i+1}2$ where $0\le i\le5$ .

So the integral is approximately

$\displaystyle\int_0^6x^2\,\mathrm dx\approx\sum_{i=0}^5({x_i}^*)^2\Delta x_i=\frac{6-0}6\sum_{i=0}^5({x_i}^*)^2=\sum_{i=0}^5\left(\frac{2i+1}2\right)^2$

Recall that

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^ni^2=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}6$
$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^ni=\frac{n(n+1)}2$
$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n1=n$

so our sum becomes

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=0}^5\left(\frac{2i+1}2\right)^2=\sum_{i=0}^5\left(i^2+i+\frac14\right)$
$=\displaystyle\frac{5(6)(11)}6+\frac{5(6)}2+\frac54=\frac{143}2$

The volume of a fish tank is 60 cubic feet. If the density is 0.3 fish over feet cubed, how many fish are in the tank? 200 9 100

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

There are 18 fish in the fish tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a fish tank is 60 cubic feet: V = 60 ft³.

The density is 0.3 fish over feet cubed. d = 0.3 fish/ft³

We can find the number of fish using proportions. The required conversion factor is 0.3 fish/ft³. The number of fish is:

60 ft³ × (0.3 fish/ft³) = 18 fish

There are 18 fish in the fish tank.

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.

three sister are getting new outfits. shirts cost 11 each,skirts coat 25 each and shows cost 44 a pair what is the total coast o

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

240.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the correct question: Three sister are getting new outfits. shirts cost 11 each,skirts coat 25 each and shoes cost 44 a pair. what is the total cost of the new outfits for all of the sisters?

Given: Cost of each shirt is 11

Cost of each skirts coat is 25

Cost of each pair of shoes cost is 44.

Now, finding total cost of shirt, skirt coat and shoes as cost of one new outfit.

= $11+25+44 = 80$
