When dragons on planet Pern lay eggs, the eggs are either green or yellow. The biologists have observed over the years that 26%

of the eggs are yellow, and the rest green. Next spring the lead scientist has permission to randomly select 67 of the dragon eggs to incubate. Consider all the possible samples of 67 dragon eggs.
1. What is the mean number of yellow eggs in samples of 67 eggs? (that is the same as asking for the expected value of the number of yellow eggs)
(Give answer correct to at least one decimal place.)
mean =
2. What is the standard deviation in the number of yellow eggs in samples of size 67?
(Give answer correct to at least one decimal place.)
standard deviation =
3. What is the variance in the number of yellow eggs in samples of size 67?
(Remember to calculate the answer using at least 5 decimal places, then give answer correct to at least one decimal place.)

Answer:

μ=  17.42

var=  12.891= 12.9

σ = 3.59

Explanation:

As the number of trials are fixed  i.e 67 and the success is also fixed i.e 26% or 0.26 this is treated as a binomial experiment.

The mean of the binomial experiment is calculated as

μ= np = 67*0.26= 17.42

This is the same as the expected value of number of yellow eggs.

E(y)= np=μ=  67*0.26= 17.42

The variance  of the binomial experiment is calculated as

var= npq  = 67*0.26(1-0.26)= 67*0.26(0.74)= 12.8908= 12.891

The standard deviation  of the binomial experiment is calculated as

σ =√npq= √12.8908= 3.590376  = 3.59038= 3.5904 = 3.590= 3.59

katrin [286]

Answer:

Because fixed costs will not change, the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income will be equal to the contribution margin of the product once the new component is added.

Explanation:

The contribution margin is equal to: Revenue - Variable Costs.

We already know that the variable cost will be increased by $50 once new component is added, and that monthly sales are expected to increase by 500 units after that.

Depending on the price of the product, the amount sold, and the variable costs, we get the contribution margin, and this contribution margin will be exactly the same as the overall effect on the net operating income.

The Self-development stage of the extratropical cyclone model occurs when _________. upper level divergence moves over a station
weqwewe [10]

Answer: cold and warm air masses interact in an unstable environment.

Explanation: Extratropical cyclones, sometimes called mid-latitude cyclones or wave cyclones, are low-pressure areas which, along with the anticyclones of high-pressure areas, drive the weather over much of the Earth. Extratropical cyclones are capable of producing anything from cloudiness and mild showers to heavy gales, thunderstorms, blizzards, and tornadoes. These types of cyclones are defined as large scale (synoptic) low pressure weather systems that occur in the middle latitudes of the Earth. In contrast with tropical cyclones, extratropical cyclones produce rapid changes in temperature and dew point along broad lines, called weather fronts, about the center of the cyclone .According to the polar-front theory, extratropical cyclones develop when a wave forms on a frontal surface separating a warm air mass from a cold air mass. As the amplitude of the wave increases, the pressure at the centre of disturbance falls, eventually intensifying to the point at which a cyclonic circulation begins. The decay of such a system results when the cold air from the north in the Northern Hemisphere, or from the south in the Southern Hemisphere, on the western side of such a cyclone sweeps under all of the warm tropical air of the system so that the entire cyclone is composed of the cold air mass. This action is known as occlusion.Extratropical cyclones arise through a process called cyclogenesis, in which cold and warm air masses interact in an unstable environment.

Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,500 light fixtures (units) at $5 per unit. Minor currently produces a
Maslowich
The company should accept the special order because it will get an additional profit of $4,000 ($12,500 - $7,500 - $1,000) for the special order. This additional profit amount can be acquired by separating the effect from the special order on each cost and sales of the company's business. The sales should increase by $12,500 ($5 x 2500 unit) amount if the job is taken and the variable cost should increase by $7,500 ($3 x 2500 unit). Lastly, the fixed cost should increase by $1,000 (the new machine).
