The following probabilities are based on data collected from U.S. adults. Individuals are placed into a weight category based on

weight, height, gender and age.
Underweight Healthy Weight Overweight (not Obese) Obese
Probability 0.017 0.377 0.343 0.263

Based on this data, what is the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult weighs less than the overweight(but not obese) range?

Answer:

the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult weighs less than the overweight(but not obese) is 0.394

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Underweight Healthy Weight Overweight (not Obese) Obese

Probability 0.017 0.377 0.343 0.263

so

P( underweight) = 0.017

P( Healthy Weight) = 0.377

P( Overweight (not Obese) ) = 0.343

P( Obese ) = 0.263

now, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult weighs less than the overweight(but not obese) range will be;

P( weigh less than overweight(but not obese) = P( underweight) + P( Healthy Weight)

P( weigh less than overweight(but not obese) = 0.017 + 0.377

P( weigh less than overweight(but not obese) = 0.394

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult weighs less than the overweight(but not obese) is 0.394

You plan to conduct a survey to find what proportion of the workforce has two or more jobs. You decide on the 95% confidence lev

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

865

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that in 95% confidence level the value of z has a value of 1.96. This can be confirmed in the attached image of the normal distribution.

Now we have the following formula:

n = [z / E] ^ 2 * (p * q)

where n is the sample size, which is what we want to calculate, "E" is the error that is 2% or 0.02. "p" is the probability they give us, 5 out of 50, is the same as 1 out of 10, that is 0.1. "q" is the complement of p, that is, 1 - 0.1 = 0.9, that is, the value of q is 0.9.

Replacing these values we are left with:

n = [1.96 / 0.02] ^ 2 * [(0.1) * (0.9)]

n = 864.36

865 by rounding to the largest number.

Brian invests £1800 into his bank account.

SVEN [57.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\underline{ \underline{ \text{Given}}} :$

Principal ( P ) = £ 1800
Rate ( R ) = 5%
Time ( T ) = 3 years

$\underline{ \underline{ \text{To \: find}}} :$

Total amount

$\underline{ \underline{ \text{Solution}}}:$

First , finding the amount of interest :

$\boxed{ \sf{Interest = \frac{PTR}{100}}}$

⇢ $\sf{Interest = \frac{1800 \times 5 \times 3}{100}}$

⇢ $\sf{Interest = \frac{27000}{100}}$

⇢ $\sf{Interest = £ 270}$

Now , Finding the total amount :

$\boxed {\sf{Total \: amount = Principal + Interest}}$

⇢ $\sf{Total \: amount = 1800 + 270}$

⇢ $\sf{Total \: amount = \: £ 2070}$

$\red{\boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{Our \: final \: answer : brian \: will \: have £ 2070 \: after \: 3 \: year.}}}}$
