Answer:

The probability that if a person is chosen at random has run to red light in the last year is 60%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a group of people were asked if they had run a red light in the last year, and 456 responded "yes", and 304 responded "no", to find the probability that if a person is chosen at random, they have run a red light in the last year, the following calculation must be performed:

456 + 304 = 760

760 = 100

456 = X

456 x 100/760 = X

45600/760 = X

60 = X

Therefore, the probability that if a person is chosen at random has run to red light in the last year is 60%.

olga nikolaevna [1]

The Probability of that more than 7 of them germinate is 0.2948.

<h3>What is Probability?</h3><h3>Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1.</h3>

We are to determine the probability that more than 7 of 10 seeds (i.e. 8, 0r 9 0r 10) germinate.

The probability that all 10 seeds germinate is equal 0.80¹⁰= 0.1073 = 10.73%.

The probability that only the first (only the second, etc ) seed does not germinate is equal 0.20 X 0.80⁹= 0.0268 = 2.68%.

The probability that 6 seeds germinate is the sum of the probabilities that only the first seed does not germinate, only the second one does not germinate, etc, and equals to 10 X 0.0268  = 0.268 = 26.8%.

The total probability that more than 7 of 10 seeds germinate is the sum of the probabilities that 10 seeds germinate and that 7 seeds germinate, i.e. 2.68 % + 26.8 % = 29.48 %.

Thus, The Probability of that more than 7 of them germinate is 0.2948.

Answer:

7.) m = 1/3 ; b = -2.5

8.) m = 2 ; b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For m, either do the rise over run method or use 2 points and do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

For b, just look at the y-intercept/where it crosses the y axis

I believe those are the right answers but not too sure because the numbers on the graph are a bit blurry so i just assumed it counted by ones.

agasfer [191]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a statistics student would like to estimate the average age of students at her college.

Population std dev =2.5years

For 99% , Z critical = ±2.59

Margin of error =  ±2.59*\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{n} }  \\= \frac{±6.475}{\sqrt{n} } =0.5

Simplify to get

\sqrt{n} =12.95

n = 167.70

n=168

She must survey 168 people
