Answer:

0.055 = 5.5% probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The employees are removed from the sample without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes 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 successes.

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:

7 + 18 = 25 employees, which means that $N = 25$

7 over 50, which means that $k = 7$

10 dismissed, which means that $n = 10$

What is the probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50?

This is P(X = 5). So

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

$P(X = 5) = h(5,25,10,7) = \frac{C_{7,5}*C_{18,5}}{C_{25,10}} = 0.055$

0.055 = 5.5% probability that exactly 5 employees were over 50.

1) A cyclist travels a distance of 90 miles in 5 hours. What

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: <u>Speed</u> is distance an object travelled per unit time.

It is represented by letter v and can assume various units.

1) $v=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{d}{t}$

$v=\frac{90}{5}$

v = 18 miles per hour

Her average speed is 18 mph.

2) Rearraging formula for distance:

d = v.t

d = 70 * 4

d = 280 miles

You would travel 280 miles.

3) $v=\frac{d}{t}$

$v=\frac{315}{6}$

v = 52.5 mph

My average speed is 52.5 mph.

4) Rearranging formula to determine time:

$t=\frac{d}{v}$

$t=\frac{210}{90}$

t = 2.34 hours

It will take 2 hours and half to arrive in Leeds. So, we will be expected to arrive at 12:04.

5) The unit change but the way of calculating time is the same.

$t=\frac{2000}{4}$

t = 500 s

or t = 8.34 minutes

It will take, for an athlete to run 2000m, 8.34 minutes.

6) a) All units must match, so for a speed in mph:

45 minutes is 0.75 hours. Total time is 8.75 hours.

$v=\frac{420}{8.75}$

v = 560 mph

The average speed is 560 mph.

b) $t=\frac{d}{v}$

$t=\frac{420}{63}$

t = 6.67 hours

Sam will take 6.67 hours to covered the distance.

First, subtract y2 - y1 to find the vertical distance. Then, subtract x2 - x1 to find the horizontal distance.

Formula to find distance given two points.

Square root (X2 - X1)^2 + (Y2 - Y1)^2

Xa Ya Xb Yb
A = (3, -4) B = (-1, 3)

Xa goes into X2 and Xb goes into X1

(3 - (-1))^2

Ya goes into Y2 and Yb goes into Y1

(-4 - 3)^2

Square root (3 - (-1))^2 + (-4 - 3)^2

Square root (4)^2 + (-7)^2

Square root 16 + 49

Square root 65

= 8.06

The error was Drako had (3 - 4)^2 when it should have been (3 - (-4))^2 because a positive is subtracting a negative.
